Who we are
Three decades at the top of the trade.
Container Care has over 30 years of experience in shipping container sales and the container hire industry. That expertise — and a commitment to customer service that never slips — has carried us to the top echelon of the industry, with a reputation as one of the UK's leaders in innovative container storage design and manufacture.
It shows in the work: container conversions finished for HM Prisons, the MOD and Network Rail, alongside canteens, mobile office space, changing rooms and portable bathrooms built to each customer's exact requirements. Whatever you need, we'll design and build a cost-effective solution that complements your company.
And it shows in the yard. Our state-of-the-art Liverpool depot provides essential storage services to many of the world's leading container resellers, shipping lines and leasing companies — every container water- and wind-tight, fitted with additional locking systems and improved security features.

Explore conversionsStraight answers
The questions everyone asks.
No jargon, no hedging — the same answers you'd get if you rang the office and asked.
What types of container can I buy?
New shipping containers, plus refurbished and used storage containers. Open-topped, refrigerated, dry cargo, high cubes or flat racks — if you want them, we’ll have them.
Every container can be delivered nationwide.
What sizes are available?
Standard shipping containers come in 10ft, 20ft and 40ft. Because our team completes modifications and conversions in-house, we can also offer more than the standard sizes — a bespoke storage solution, cut to fit.
All our used containers have been reconditioned, so they’re fit for storage from day one.
Can you customise a container?
Constantly. A shipping container doesn’t have to be an empty box — we regularly convert them into mobile workshops, toilets, on-site offices and specialist storage units. Chemical stores work particularly well in shipping containers.
Doors, windows, partitions, plumbing, even electricity — our specialist team fits whatever the job needs.
Explore conversions How much does a shipping container cost?
It depends on your requirements — a specialist conversion will increase the price, and prices fluctuate depending on the import and export trade flowing through the Port of Liverpool. That’s the honest answer.
We work hard to keep our prices competitive, and we can, because we supply customers directly.
How do I get a quote?
Configure your container online for an instant guide price, or contact us and talk it through — we’re more than happy to discuss your requirements and provide a no-obligation quote.
Build your container How easy is it to have a container delivered?
Couldn’t be easier. We work with reliable, national, independent haulage companies, and we pride ourselves on delivering your container anywhere in the country at the time and date you specify — even if it’s today.
Every company we work with operates under the Road Haulage Association Ltd Conditions of Carriage and carries full Goods in Transit insurance. Because we put safety first, all hiab crane drivers are City & Guilds CITB trained, working strictly in accordance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, with risk assessments and method statements carried out on all contracted vehicles.
Can I hire instead of buying?
Yes. Various sizes are available to hire directly from the depot on short or long-term agreements — the rental fleet runs from stores, offices, mess rooms and toilets to basic 10ft, 20ft and 40ft storage containers, with hire starting from £10 per week.
