Keep your construction site secure and organised with our comprehensive range of site storage options. From small tool stores to large equipment containers, you'll find the perfect storage unit to protect your valuable site assets and materials. These storage systems work seamlessly with other site equipment, providing convenient access to tools and materials while keeping them protected from theft and weather damage - especially important when storing expensive equipment, mortar tubs, and specialist building supplies. Our storage units feature strong locking mechanisms, weather-resistant construction, and practical designs that make it easy to organise and access your gear. They pair perfectly with vehicle toolboxes and auto-tipping skips to create a complete site management system, ensuring everything from small hand tools to large machinery has its designated secure space. The reinforced construction withstands harsh site conditions while maintaining security, giving you peace of mind that your equipment is protected around the clock.
Site Storage FAQs
What size site storage unit do I need?
This depends on what you're protecting — a small tool store around 1-2m³ suits hand tools and power tools for a single tradesperson, while larger units or containers are better suited to mortar tubs, plant equipment or multiple trades sharing a site. Think about access too; if you need to get a wheelbarrow or mixer in and out, check door width as well as overall capacity.
Are these storage units weatherproof?
Yes, our site storage is built from weather-resistant materials such as GRP or coated steel, designed to keep out rain, damp and condensation that would otherwise damage tools, cement or timber. Look for units with sealed roof joints and drainage details if you're storing anything moisture-sensitive long-term.
How secure are site storage boxes against theft?
Site storage is one of the most targeted areas for opportunist theft, so our units feature reinforced locking points, hidden hinges and heavy-gauge construction that resists forcing and cutting tools. For higher-value plant or equipment, pairing a storage unit with ground anchors or chaining to a fixed point adds an extra layer of security.
Do I need planning permission or building regs approval for site storage?
Temporary site storage used during a construction project is generally exempt from planning permission and building regulations, as it's not a permanent structure. If you intend to keep a unit in place long-term as fixed storage once the project finishes, it's worth checking with your local authority, particularly if it sits close to a boundary.
Can site storage units be moved around as the project progresses?
Most of our smaller and mid-sized units are designed to be lifted or towed between locations, making them practical for phased builds where the working area shifts. Larger containers typically need a forklift, telehandler or HIAB to reposition, so it's worth planning ground access before delivery.
What's the difference between a tool store and a full site container?
A tool store is a compact, lightweight unit ideal for hand tools, small power tools and consumables on smaller sites or vans. A full site container offers much greater capacity and rigidity, suited to storing plant, materials and equipment across a whole site, and can often be stacked or linked with other units as part of a wider site management setup.
