At S Jones Containers, we understand that you might have lots of questions regarding your container hire. To help you feel confident in choosing the right container, we have compiled answers to some of the most common questions we’re asked. Take a read through our hints and tips below and if you have further queries, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
- 1. How Quickly Can the Units Be Delivered?
We understand that when you need a container, you often need it as soon as possible. Typically, we can deliver your container within a week to 10 days. However, we know that sometimes you might be pushed for time so if you need the container urgently, just let us know! We can check with our hauliers while you’re on the phone to see if next-day delivery is possible and strive to accommodate your schedule. Your timeline is always our priority.
- 2. Is Transport for Delivery and Collection or Just One Way?
We like to keep things straightforward, so our transport service covers both delivery and collection of the container. We charge for both journeys upfront to save you from any future price increases. This way, you have one less thing to worry about and can focus on using the container for your project.
- 3. How Long Can We Hire the Containers For? Is There a Limit?
Flexibility is key when it comes to container hire. We have a minimum hire period of 30 days, but you can keep the container for as long as you need. Whether your project takes a few weeks, several months, or even longer, our hire agreements are ongoing. When you’re done with the container, just give us a call, and we’ll arrange for collection at your convenience. We adapt to your timeline, not the other way around – your schedule, your rules!
- 4. Do You Charge for a Five-Day Week or a Seven-Day Week?
We charge for a full seven-day week. This means you are able to use your container every day, including weekends, at your desired location without any additional costs. It’s all about providing maximum flexibility and value for money. Our ethos is built on no hidden fees or surprise charges—just straightforward, honest pricing.
- 5. Can You Deliver the Container to My Back Garden?
We’re happy to explore the possibility of delivering the container to your back garden however the main factor here is access. Our delivery vehicles are 35ft or 65ft long, so we need to ensure they can reach the offload spot safely. If you’re unsure, feel free to send us some pictures of your garden and access route. We can review them and share them with our haulier, who has the expertise to assess the situation and decide if the delivery is possible. We aim to make things as convenient as possible, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with any concerns.
- 6. What if my Access is Restricted?
Sometimes, no matter how many options we consider, delivering a standard container just isn’t possible due to difficult access. That’s where our Flat Pack Container range comes in. These containers can be collapsed and folded for easy shipping and then assembled by hand once in place, making them ideal for hard-to-reach locations. Whether you need a general storage unit or a purpose-built chemical or insulated unit, our flat pack containers provide strong, secure storage with stress-free delivery options across the UK.
