New, used and converted shipping containers in Cardiff
We supply shipping containers to Cardiff for storage, site use and conversion projects. Choose from new and used containers, including popular 10ft, 20ft and 40ft sizes, or explore smaller containers, container offices and purpose-built options. If a standard container does not suit the job, we carry out modifications, conversions and new-build fabrication in-house at Knowsley before arranging delivery to Cardiff. For delivery, we will need your postcode and enough information about site access and the intended position to work out the appropriate transport and offload.

Shipping container delivery in Cardiff
We deliver shipping containers to Cardiff and across South Wales. Where you need a modified, converted or purpose-built container, we carry out the work at our Knowsley depot before the finished unit is transported to you.
Shipping containers are normally delivered using a vehicle fitted with a HIAB crane for offload. The driver needs suitable access, enough working space for the vehicle and crane, and a prepared position where the container can sit level. Check the route into the site as well as the final container position before ordering.
When requesting a quote, send us your Cardiff delivery postcode, the container size or type you need, any modifications required, details of restricted access and the intended offload position.
For more detail, read our shipping container delivery guide and ground preparation guide.
Container projects in Cardiff
Two very different Cardiff projects, both built around the customer's specification. One became a fitted office with bathroom facilities for Cardiff City Council, while the other turned a used 20ft container into a bright private garden room.
25ft ModiBox® Office with Bathroom
Cardiff City Council
We converted a used 25ft container into a fitted ModiBox® office with glazed French doors, electric roller shutter, anti-vandal windows and a separate bathroom area.
20ft Pink Garden Room
Private Cardiff Project
We removed the original end doors from this used 20ft container, fitted 4m aluminium bi-fold doors and a uPVC window, then finished the exterior in RAL 3015 Light Pink.

Built and modified in-house
We carry out container modifications, conversions and new-build fabrication at our Knowsley depot. If a standard 8ft-wide container does not fit the requirement, we can manufacture extra-wide containers or narrow containers, add side-door access, or take on more complex specialist conversions. Where access prevents a complete steel container being positioned on site, our flat pack containers provide a separate self-assembly option.

Shipping containers in Cardiff - frequently asked questions
Do you deliver shipping containers to Cardiff?
Yes. We deliver shipping containers to Cardiff and across South Wales. Modified, converted and purpose-built units can also be completed at Knowsley before transport to Cardiff.
Should I choose a new or used shipping container?
Used containers normally show more marks, dents and surface wear from their previous working life. New or once-used containers have made a single import journey and generally have a cleaner exterior.
What container sizes can I order in Cardiff?
Popular choices include 10ft, 20ft and 40ft containers, but we also supply smaller and intermediate sizes. See our shipping container dimensions guide for external and internal measurements.
How will my shipping container be delivered?
Delivery is normally arranged using a lorry fitted with a HIAB crane to lift the container from the vehicle and position it on the prepared base. Read our delivery guide before ordering.
Can you modify a container before delivering it to Cardiff?
Yes. We carry out modifications and conversions in-house, including doors, windows, lining and insulation, electrics, cladding and more substantial fitted conversions. Explore our container modifications or container conversions.
Do I need planning permission for a shipping container in Cardiff?
Planning requirements depend on the site, intended use and how long the container will remain there. Check your proposal with the relevant local planning authority. Our planning guide gives a general introduction.
