We supply shipping containers, refrigerated containers, site cabins and container offices across the United Kingdom. This guide explains our regional delivery coverage, including shipping container delivery Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland, what affects delivery times and costs in each area, and how to get an accurate delivered price for your postcode.
How regional delivery works
Every delivery is quoted individually based on three things:
- Distance: how far your site is from the nearest available stock.
- Container size: 10ft and 20ft units can travel on a wider range of vehicles than 40ft and 45ft units.
- Site access: whether a HIAB crane lorry or a tilt-and-slide lorry is needed.
Our delivery and installation guide explains site access and base preparation in detail.
England
England has the best road connections and the widest choice of delivery options. We deliver to cities, towns, business parks, farms and rural sites across the country, including London and the South East, the Midlands, the North West, Yorkshire, the North East, East Anglia and the South West.
See our local pages for Brentwood, Cambridge, Coventry, Cannock, Tamworth, Staffordshire, Melton Mowbray, Hull and Portsmouth.
Scotland
We deliver to Scotland’s cities and central belt, as well as rural areas across the country. Deliveries to the Highlands and remote rural sites may take longer to arrange and cost more because of the distance. Deliveries to the islands involve a ferry crossing, so contact us early to plan timings.
Wales
We deliver across Wales, from Cardiff, Swansea and Newport to rural sites in mid and North Wales. Narrow lanes and hilly farm tracks are common, so tell us about access in advance. A smaller container or a HIAB lorry may be the best option for tight rural sites.
Northern Ireland
Deliveries to Northern Ireland involve a sea crossing, so they need more planning and cost more than deliveries within Great Britain. Contact us with your postcode and the container you need, and we will confirm availability, timings and a delivered price.
Typical delivery times
Delivery times depend on stock, your location and the vehicle required. Standard containers to well-connected locations are usually the quickest to arrange. Remote areas, islands, Northern Ireland and custom-built containers take longer. We confirm a delivery date when you order.
Planning rules differ across the UK
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each have their own planning systems. Before you buy, read our guide to planning permission for containers and check with your local council.
Tips for a smooth delivery anywhere in the UK
- Give us your full postcode and exact drop-off location.
- Send photos of the access route and drop-off point.
- Prepare a firm, level base before delivery day.
- Make sure someone is on site to meet the driver.
- For remote sites, allow extra time for planning.
Shipping container delivery Scotland: what to check
If your site is in Scotland, particularly a remote part such as the Highlands or the islands, delivery can take longer and cost more because of distance, road access and ferry timetables. For shipping container delivery Scotland customers should give a full postcode and site access details when asking for a quote, so the right vehicle and route can be planned. Planning and building rules in Scotland differ from England, so check the guidance on mygov.scot and with your local council before you order.
The same advice applies across the UK: confirm access for a delivery lorry, prepare firm and level ground, and ask for the delivered price in writing so there are no surprises.
