To Hire or to Buy? That is the question

The answer will depend largely on whether you have the capital budget to buy a container or whether you would rather use your revenue budget to hire one but there are some important factors to bear in mind:

As a guide, our most popular 20ft unit costs £15 per week to hire and in the region of £2500 – £2800 to buy depending on transport costs.

Unlike other container hire companies, would be delighted to hire a container to you even if we have modified it to your schools’ specific needs. Call us on 01934 245026 to find out more about how we can help with this.

There are often local and national Funding initiatives available and schools have used all sorts of grants and other revenue streams to pay for their containers.

Don’t forget your PTA

Lots of schools have used funds raised by the Friends or PTA to buy for their containers outright or to fund the ongoing monthly hire charge.
