Shipping container uses in the South West
Strong, durable, and weatherproof, businesses and domestic customers have long considered intermodal containers for their shipping or conversion needs.
It might surprise you to know that containers are suitable for almost anything, including (but not limited to):
- Offices, flexible workspaces, or even work-from-home pods
- Gyms, studios, and salons
- Storage for your equipment or belongings
- Secure drop-offs for parcels and online orders
- Extra living space or playrooms
Plus, as they can easily be modified, converted, or fitted with a variety of container accessories, our team can complete your project while also ensuring your security needs are met without compromise!
Why choose Gap Containers for your container needs?
All of the containers from our Bristol depot bring benefits that meet your needs perfectly – with much less stress and investment than building outright. Such as:
- A range of purchasing options
Containers can be purchased upfront or hired on a short-term or long-term basis – giving you access to an efficient storage or transport option for only as long as you need it.
This could also save you money in the long term, as you aren’t funnelling money into an investment that isn’t always needed.
- Any size you need
All shipping containers come in a standard size (e.g. 10ft, 20ft, or 40ft, etc) or can manufactured to your preferred unit size.
This allows you to find efficient solutions rather than searching for services or sizes that don’t meet your needs.
- Bespoke modifications
At the point of ordering, each container can also be modified, converted, or fitted with a selection of container accessories by our expert team – helping to create bespoke domestic storage, self-storage for businesses, a work location, or anything else in between.
This could include adding windows, extra doors, an electrical hook-up, or even built-in furniture for space management.
- Long-lasting materials
All of our containers are made from premium Corten steel, which means they’re inherently strong, durable, and suitable for both domestic and commercial use – despite such great prices!
- Careful delivery
We can also arrange professional container delivery and off-loading to your site in Avonmouth, Bristol, elsewhere in the UK, or even abroad.
- You probably won’t need planning permission
Permanent structures like self-storage units or offices require months of tedious designing, drawing, pricing, and obtaining planning permission from the local council.
Shipping container projects, on the other hand, are fast, often delivered in a few weeks, and generally don’t need planning permission! (Though we do always recommend checking, just to be sure!)

Can you personalise containers for hire?
As you might expect, if you only need to hire the shipping container, we are limited in what personalisation services we can offer, as you don’t own the unit outright.
To find out what would be best for your offices, storage facility, or extra room, we encourage you to contact us directly. After we’ve heard a bit more about what you need, we can check our range of for-hire units, outline what we can do, and explain the services that would suit you best.
Just call 0870 240 9405 and our friendly team will be able to help!
Can containers be delivered on the weekend?
Depending on your industry or work commitments, you may need professional, efficient delivery to your site outside of working hours or on weekends.
To ensure that we have the highly trained experts needed to make this happen and that they can offload safely in your chosen spot, we’ll also need to know where you are located in the UK and have contact details for you.
So, for competitive pricing and to find out when we can drop off new and used containers in Bristol, call 0870 240 9405 or email sales@gapcontainers.co.uk!
