Who uses containers in Brentwood?
Many of our Brentwood customers are homeowners and small businesses who need more space without moving or renting a unit across town. A 10ft or 20ft container makes a secure garden store, a garage overflow or stock room. Local trades use them to keep tools and materials safe on site, and equestrian yards and farms around the edge of the borough use larger 20ft and 40ft units for feed, tack and machinery.
With a lot of residential and commercial building work across Brentwood and nearby Chelmsford and Basildon, steel anti-vandal cabins and container offices are also popular with contractors who need welfare facilities that can be locked up securely at night.
Container delivery to Brentwood
We deliver throughout Brentwood and nearby areas including Shenfield, Ingatestone, Billericay, Hutton, Pilgrims Hatch, Chelmsford, Basildon and Romford, with easy access via the A12 and junction 28 of the M25.
Containers are delivered by HIAB crane lorry or tilt-and-slide lorry, depending on your site. To make delivery go smoothly:
- Make sure a lorry can reach the drop-off point and has room to manoeuvre.
- Check for overhead cables or trees if a crane lorry is needed.
- Prepare firm, level ground. Sleepers, concrete pads or hardcore make a good base and keep the floor off damp ground.
- Leave enough space in front of the doors to open them fully.

Planning permission in Brentwood
Whether you need planning permission depends on where the container goes, what you use it for and how long it stays. If you are unsure, check with Brentwood Borough Council before you buy.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for a shipping container in Brentwood?
It depends on where it goes and how long it stays. A container used for temporary storage on a building site is usually fine, but a permanent container in a garden or on farmland may need permission. Check with Brentwood Borough Council before you buy if you are unsure.
How quickly can you deliver to Brentwood?
Brentwood is very well connected by road, so delivery is usually straightforward. Contact us with your postcode and the container you want and we will confirm a delivery date and price.
What size shipping container do I need?
A 10ft container suits garden and domestic storage, a 20ft container is the most popular all-rounder for homes and businesses, and a 40ft container gives the most space for large stock, machinery or commercial projects. If you are unsure, tell us what you want to store and we will recommend a size.
Should I buy a new or used container?
New (one-trip) containers have made a single sea voyage and look almost new. Used containers cost less and are still wind and watertight, making them ideal for storage. Read our guide to new vs used shipping containers for more detail.
