How much does a shipping container office cost in the UK?

What makes shipping container offices so versatile is that they are tailored to your specific requirements. The size, layout and level of specification you choose will all influence the overall cost.

Do container offices need planning permission?

Planning permission will depend on how and where the container office is used. Temporary use on construction sites, usually under 28 days, often does not require planning permission. Permanent installation or containers for commercial use will normally require planning permission. Check with your local planning authority before installation.

What sizes are available for shipping container offices?

Shipping container offices in the UK are available in a range of standard ISO sizes, which include 10ft, 20ft and 40ft. Multiple containers can also be configured to create larger office spaces.

Are container offices insulated and suitable for year-round use?

Yes, converted container offices are typically insulated and designed for year-round use in UK conditions. Insulation is installed within the walls and ceiling to regulate a comfortable internal temperature.

How long does delivery and installation take?

Delivery and complete installation are fast compared to traditional brick-and-mortar buildings since only minimal groundwork is required. Custom-built container offices can sometimes take just a few weeks before they’re ready for use.

Can shipping container offices be customised to my requirements?

Yes, shipping container offices are fully customisable to suit your exact operational needs. This includes internal layouts, external finishes, windows, doors, electrics and insulation, which can all be specified and configured to match your requirements.
