Shipping Container Offices
Embrace the new norm and invest in an office made from shipping containers for your home.
Over the last couple of years, an office space container conversion has become a popular choice as people switch to hybrid or full-time remote working. Whether space is at a premium inside or your budget is limited, a container office could be the ideal solution – and we can help to create the ideal structure for your needs.

What is an office container conversion?
Space is a luxury in the home and it’s not always possible to convert the spare room or extend the house to create an office space.
This is why many remote workers are choosing to ditch the kitchen table (and all of its distractions) and set up their portable offices in the garden.
In using old shipping containers, you can help put a stop to container waste while also creating a bespoke office space that is exactly as you need it.
And the best thing? You may not need planning permission to install one on your land!
What are the benefits of shipping container offices?
Office containers have many benefits, which makes them incredibly popular for those who need a replacement for traditional brick-and-mortar offices. These benefits include:
- Being highly cost-effective
Container conversions can be relatively low-cost, you can avoid many of the expenses associated with traditional building methods (e.g. laying foundations), and if you decide to move house, you can simply take the structure with you.
- Practicality
You can create somewhere to work long-term, without impacting the footprint of your home.
- Full customisation
All converted shipping containers can be fitted with a range of internal and external features, so your workspace is tailored to your specific needs perfectly.
- A low-maintenance, long-lasting structure
Thanks to their primary function, shipping containers are designed to be robust and weather-proof.
- Increased security
As a fully secure unit, converted offices are difficult to burgle or vandalise.
- Eco-friendliness
Saving shipping containers from being wasted reduces the associated carbon footprint and is better for the environment.
- Increased convenience
Shipping containers don’t always need planning permission, so you can place them nice and close to home – perfect if it’s raining!

Why choose a shipping container office?
Most of our customers enjoy the fact that their shipping container office can be placed at the end of your garden, giving an additional room away from the hustle and bustle of the main house. It also means you don’t have to set up any equipment to work and put it away again on a day-to-day basis – saving you time, too!
Plus, container offices can be customised in any way you like. You could choose to keep things simple, with a basic desk and internet connection or you could go for an all-singing-and-dancing structure, with multiple high-tech features and impressive aesthetics. It’s entirely your decision and just depends on your specific requirements.
Here at Gap Containers, we offer a diverse range of internal and external fixtures and fittings that mean your container office can be tailored to meet your needs. Whatever you require to do your job, just let us know and together we can create the perfect shipping container office for your property.

Would I need planning permission?
In most cases, no. Shipping container offices don’t have any foundations and are technically classed as a temporary building – therefore, planning permission isn’t usually required.
There are a few circumstances in which you may need to apply to the local authority first, including if:
- You live in a conservation area or a listed building
- The design is particularly big
Such cases are very rare and permission is quickly granted, but we always recommend contacting your local planning office to check beforehand, as failure to obtain planning permission when you need it can result in fines.

How much does a shipping container home office cost?
This depends on several factors, including the size of the container office and the internal and external finishes that are chosen. The bigger the transformation, the more it will cost.
But rest assured, here at Gap Containers, we strive to make our container office prices as competitive and affordable as possible. We can work to any budget and, compared to the cost of a home extension or renovation, they’re an incredibly cost-effective and worthwhile investment.
