We purchased a refurbished outside cabin to act as an additional classroom space over 12 months ago. The cabin so far has been perfect, inside looks amazing with an open and feeling inside a small space. Condition was excellent and felt new. Would highly recommend Hallets to anyone looking an outside cabin

What is a shipping container conversion?

A shipping container conversion is the transformation of a standard container into a functional space, such as a café, office, workshop, or classroom.

These structures can stand alone or be combined and stacked to for larger container buildings.

How long does the container conversion process take?

Every project is different, but most shipping container conversions take between 4 to 12 weeks from design to delivery. The timeline will depend on the complexity, size, and level of customisation needed. Get your quote today to start the process.

Is all the work carried out by Halletts Spaces?

Yes, all shipping container conversion work is managed in-house by the Halletts team. From design and fabrication to installation, our experienced engineers and craftsmen make sure every detail meets our high standards of quality and safety.

Are container conversions safe?

Absolutely. All converted shipping containers are built in line with UK safety regulations. We work closely with structural engineers and carry out all the necessary inspections to make sure your conversion is fully compliant, secure, well-ventilated, and safe for daily use.

What groundworks or foundations are needed before installation?

Groundwork will vary depending on your specific container conversion. Some projects may require concrete pads or steel footings, while others may need drainage or service access. Get in touch with our team for tailored advice on preparing your site for a smooth installation.
