Why buy from a nearby depot

Everything we sell comes from our own yard at A66 Depot, Stockton Road, Sadberge, Darlington, DL2 1TD.

A county of very different sites

County Durham is not one delivery job. A container going to a business unit at Belmont or Bowburn is a very different proposition to one going up a farm track in Weardale or into a village garden in the Dales. We plan the access around the site rather than sending the same lorry everywhere and hoping for the best.

Business, agricultural and domestic

Around Durham we supply storage containers to trade units and light industrial estates, secure stores for farms and smallholdings, and straightforward garden storage for households running out of space. Cargo containers also get used for site security, tool stores and dry archive storage for offices around the city.

A short run from the depot

Durham sits an easy run north of our Darlington depot, so deliveries into the county are routine for us. You are welcome to come down the A1(M) and inspect containers on the yard before you buy rather than choosing from a photograph.

How delivery works

From enquiry to offload

Access check first

Narrow village lanes, cobbles, steep approaches and low branches are common around Durham. Send the postcode and a photo or two of the entrance and the spot before we book anything.

The right vehicle for the site

Rural tracks and soft ground change what can safely get in. We match the vehicle to the site rather than the other way round.

HIAB crane offload

The container is lifted off by the lorry's own crane and placed where you want it, so you do not need a forklift or crane on site.

Delivered quotations

One price covering the container and the haulage. Contact us for a delivered quotation using your full delivery postcode.

Always give us the full delivery postcode - it is the single thing that lets us price the haulage properly. More on delivery and access.

Common questions

Durham containers, answered

Yes. We regularly deliver to farms, smallholdings and rural businesses across the county. Ground conditions matter more than distance out there, so tell us about the track and the gateway when you enquire.

As a rule of thumb allow roughly twice the container length in clear straight space, plus room for the lorry and its crane. For a 20ft container that is around 40 to 45 feet of clear run on firm ground.

Used wind and watertight containers are the most popular choice for farm storage. They are dry, lockable and hard to break into. Availability is subject to current stock, so call for what we have on the yard.

A container used for storage is usually treated as a temporary structure, but rules vary by council, by site and in conservation areas. Check with Durham County Council if you are unsure.

Yes, if you have a suitable trailer and lifting arrangements at your end. We will load you at the depot with our forklift.
