Storage On Site

Storage On Site Storage on Site supplies high-quality containers & cabins for hire or sale. Depots in Southampton and Kent.

Family-run, with over 55 years of expertise, S.O.S is trusted by businesses & homeowners across the South. Storage On Site has been the final result of the joint knowledge of Peter & Neil Vickery that over the last 45 years have gained a vast experience from container repairs to container sales and hire domestically and internationally. Initially gained by repairing containers for international sh

ipping lines when the first containers started arriving to acknowledging their use domestically for storage purposes onto converting the containers into a variety of different uses they have both been involved. They have always been strong believers in the customer being treated as they would wish to be treated themselves, as repeat business is always the core of our structure. Many of the customers have been trading with Storage On Site over the last 15-20 years and they are always treated with the urgency required as would any new client who wishes to purchase or hire from them. With their vast sales fleet stretching to all four corners of the globe they are able to supply new and used containers throughout. They have their new containers built to their own high specification directly from the factories and their used containers are always supplied in a shippable condition giving their customers peace of mind for when their container is delivered. As always customers are available to view any of the containers at their own storage depot in Southampton and other locations throughout the United Kingdom. With their own workshop facility the containers are able to be converted to a customer specification with windows, doors, painting or any other type of change that may be required. The hire fleet for Storage On Site was started in 2006 as they had noticed that there was a position in the marketplace for a company that would always put the customer first with an emphasis on good quality units supplied at competitive rates and a high standard of customer satisfaction. They take great pride in their hire fleet and they believe that when the units are delivered whether it is a container or a cabin they will be as the customer had requested them. All of the storage containers are supplied with a high security lock in the hire price quoted and all of the cabins supplied are anti-vandal with basic furniture included in the hire price. It is no surprise that from a complete new start that they are now one of the largest suppliers of cabins and containers in the South of England with a very high customer satisfaction feedback. There final piece of the jigsaw was to have the units delivered with their own fleet of crane assisted vehicles which they started to do so since 2009. Since then they now have a total of 4 vehicles which are solely dedicated to delivering their own hire or sales fleet with their own drivers who's purpose is to make sure that all deliveries and collections are completed safely and to the customers satisfaction. All of the drivers have gained experience over the last 25 years that gives them the knowledge required for a safe and conscientious job on any occasion.

🚚 Container delivery takes more space than many people expect.

It is easy to focus on the size of the container, but the delivery lorry and crane also need suitable space to manoeuvre safely.

Things like tight corners, overhanging trees, overhead cables, narrow entrances or uneven ground can all affect placement on the day.

Our experienced drivers handle deliveries across a wide range of sites, and where needed, we can arrange a free site visit to help check access and avoid any surprises.

🧠 Thinking about placing a shipping container on your property or business premises?

One of the most common questions customers ask is whether planning permission is needed. The answer depends on factors such as how long the container will be in place, where it will sit, its size and how it will be used.

Our guide explains the key considerations and why it is always worth checking with your local council before installation.

🏡 Summer renovations can quickly take over the house.

A container delivered to your property gives you secure storage close by, so furniture, boxes and tools can be kept out of the way while work is completed.

It’s a useful option if you want to keep access to your belongings without moving everything to an off-site facility. And for items that need extra protection, our furniture-grade containers can help reduce moisture and
condensation concerns.
