Home For Sale UK
Buying a container is often financially and environmentally prudent. It's cheaper than building and usually a lot faster - you can go from lorry to workplace in a matter of days.
We offer both new and used shipping containers. Our used containers are usually 9-14 years old and have a few scratches, scuffs and scratches but in good shape.
Storage
Storage units are an excellent solution for those who need to save space or protect expensive items from the elements. The choice is usually between purchasing a new container or a second hand one. Many new containers come flat-packed and can help reduce the time to delivery and assembly. In this configuration, they are still strong and secure, as well as portable for man. These cubes are also available in standard heights of 20ft or 40ft and can be combined to create larger storage spaces.
Many people believe that second-hand containers for modal have been damaged beyond repair. It's not the case. The majority of our storage containers used have years of use left in them and are in good structural condition with no major holes or corrosion.
Containers Direct work with a group of suppliers that provide quality containers in the UK and offers various sizes of containers including custom lengths. The containers are inspected prior to leaving their depots to ensure they're watertight and that there aren't any large holes or dents and that the doors are in good working order. They are of the highest quality and are an excellent choice for homeowners and businesses alike.
Shipping Home are a versatile and long-lasting product that can be used multiple times throughout their lifespan. They can be used as storage units but more and more people choose to modify the containers after purchase in order to maximise their potential. Some of the most sought-after uses include a shed for the garden, a home-gym or a workshop to store tools and machinery.
Shipping containers are typically recycled at the end their lifespan, but it is better for the environment to reuse them and keep these precious steel pieces in circulation for as long as is feasible. This will help reduce carbon emissions from embodied and limit the need to further environmental damage by recycling or melting down.
Cafes
Cafes are eateries that serve food and drinks. They are well-known for their cozy, casual atmospheres and their flexible operating hours. Unlike restaurants, which often serve formal food cafes typically offer laid-back menu items such as sandwiches and light meals. They may also feature art exhibits and other cultural events that encourage community involvement. The term is different from the uninspiring "Coffee Shop" which has an older connotation both in Australia and in the UK.
Offices
If you purchase containers (unlike renting one) you own it to do whatever you like with. After buying their containers, many of our customers opt to modify them to their own specifications. It could be as easy or as complicated as adding heating and walls, or as easy as painting. Some even turn them into swimming pools or recording studios!
Containers Direct is the leading supplier of second-hand containers for sale in the UK. Home are also among the few British manufacturers of new customized shipping containers as well as specialists in conversions. From standard office spaces to containers for gyms, schools and much more, our depots across the country offer used, new and flat-pack containers in a variety of sizes.
Shipping containers can last up to twenty years. It is important to ensure that they are maintained. This means that any dents, holes or other major areas of corrosion should be addressed prior to being used. Before they leave our depots we examine all second-hand containers. We ensure whether they are water and wind sealed, there aren't holes or large areas of rust, and that the doors are functioning. We also check that they are structurally sound and can endure a trip on the high seas.
The majority of our used containers are in good working order and we only sell a tiny portion of the lower 10-15% of our stock. Buying used can save money and help protect the environment. Reusing an old container, you'll be keeping it from the scrap yard and reducing embodied carbon emissions resulting from its manufacturing. You'll also be reusing an existing unit that has already completed an expedition on the high seas and is likely to have been used as a sturdy construction material throughout its life in the shipping fleet.
