Why buy from a nearby depot

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

Industrial estates and coastal sites

A lot of our Wearside work goes to industrial estates around Washington, Pallion, Hylton and Doxford, where the access is usually straightforward and a 40ft container is no problem. Coastal and exposed sites are worth a mention when you enquire, since salt air makes container condition and paintwork more of a talking point.

Washington and the A19 corridor

Washington's districts and the wider A19 corridor are an easy run for us from Darlington. Whether it is overflow stock for a distribution unit, a secure store for a contractor or a workshop for a hobby build, the same container sizes cover most of it.

Domestic deliveries too

Plenty of Sunderland containers go to houses, allotments and small yards rather than businesses. Those need a proper access conversation first, because driveways and shared access roads are where deliveries usually get tricky.

How delivery works

From enquiry to offload

Access check first

Give us the delivery postcode, the surface at the spot, and photos of the way in. Flag any shared access, parking pressure or timed restrictions.

Vehicle requirements

Allow around 10 feet of clear width for the lorry, plus room for it to draw alongside and lift. Soft verges and steep entrances need mentioning in advance.

Crane offload

Every delivery is on a HIAB crane lorry, so the container is placed exactly where you want it without lifting gear at your end.

Delivered quotations

We quote the container plus haulage as one delivered figure. Contact us for a delivered quotation with your 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

Sunderland containers, answered

Yes, regularly. Containers are delivered from our Darlington depot on a HIAB crane lorry, with the haulage included in the quoted delivered price.

No. Our one depot is at Sadberge near Darlington. Everything on Wearside is delivered from there, and you are welcome to come and inspect containers before you buy.

Used wind and watertight containers are dry and secure, but paintwork ages faster in salt air. If appearance matters on an exposed site, a new one-trip container will look better for longer.

Yes. Estate units are usually the easiest deliveries we do. Let us know about any barriers, one-way systems or booking-in requirements so the driver is not turned away.

Often yes. We buy used containers as well as sell them. Send the size, condition, postcode and a couple of photos for a collection quote.
