L-Size Container FAQs
Common questions about our L-size converted shipping containers. Moreover, contact us if you need additional information.
What exactly is included in the L-size container?

Moreover, the only items not included are decorative elements such as artwork, cushions, and ornaments.
What are the exact dimensions?
The L-size container measures 40ft x 8ft (12m x 2.4m) externally, providing approximately 29m² of internal floor space. Moreover, internal height is typically 2.4-2.7m. Furthermore, the layout includes a bedroom zone, toilet facility, and living room area within this compact footprint.
Do I need planning permission?
Planning requirements vary by location and intended use. Moreover, many L-size containers qualify as permitted development for residential garden rooms or temporary structures. However, permanent residential use or locations in conservation areas typically require planning permission. Furthermore, we provide guidance and can recommend planning consultants to assist with applications.
Can I add a kitchen?
Yes, absolutely. While the standard L-size doesn’t include kitchen facilities, we can add a kitchenette with sink, hob, and fridge as an optional upgrade. Moreover, full kitchen installations are available in our Premium and Luxury packages. Furthermore, we can customize the kitchen to your specific requirements and available space.
Can I add a shower to the toilet area?
Yes, we can add a shower cubicle to the toilet area as an optional upgrade. Moreover, this is included as standard in our Premium and Luxury packages. Furthermore, we can install either a standard shower or a wet room configuration depending on your preference and space requirements.
What foundations are required?
The L-size container requires a level, stable base. Moreover, options include concrete pad foundations, steel frame supports, or reinforced concrete piles. Furthermore, the specific foundation depends on ground conditions and local building regulations. Additionally, we provide detailed foundation specifications with your order and can recommend groundwork contractors.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery is 12-16 weeks from order confirmation. Moreover, this includes complete manufacturing with all furniture and fittings installed in our factory, quality inspections, transportation, and on-site installation. Furthermore, expedited delivery may be available for urgent projects at additional cost. Additionally, we provide regular progress updates throughout the manufacturing process.
Is the furniture good quality?
Yes, all furniture is carefully selected for quality, durability, and comfort. Moreover, we use commercial-grade furniture designed for long-term use. Furthermore, the Premium and Luxury packages include upgraded furniture options. Additionally, you can specify particular furniture styles or brands during the design phase to match your preferences.
Can I choose different colors and finishes?
Yes, customization is available. While the standard package includes white walls and anthracite grey exterior, you can select custom colors for walls, furniture, and exterior cladding. Moreover, we offer various flooring options including wood-effect, carpet, or luxury vinyl. Furthermore, our design team can help create a cohesive color scheme to match your preferences.
What warranty is provided?
We provide a comprehensive 15-year structural warranty covering the container structure and major building components. Additionally, a 24-month minor defect warranty covers workmanship, materials, and furniture. Moreover, individual components such as windows and electrical systems may have longer manufacturer warranties. Furthermore, full warranty documentation is provided at handover.
Are utilities included?
The container includes complete electrical and plumbing systems ready for connection to mains services. Moreover, all internal wiring, fixtures, lighting, and plumbing are fully installed and tested. However, connection to external mains utilities (electricity, water, drainage) is typically customer responsibility. Furthermore, we provide detailed connection specifications and can recommend qualified contractors for utility connections.
Can the container be relocated?
Yes, the L-size container can be relocated if needed. Moreover, the modular design allows for disassembly, transportation, and reassembly at a new location. However, relocation costs depend on distance, site conditions, and whether furniture needs to be removed first. Furthermore, this flexibility protects your investment if circumstances change.
Is it suitable for year-round living?
Yes, absolutely. The L-size container features premium KINGSPAN insulation (U-values 0.16-0.18 W/m²K), triple-glazed windows, and optional heating systems. Moreover, the A-rated energy performance ensures comfort in all seasons. Furthermore, the structure is designed for 50-75 years of use. Consequently, it’s perfect for year-round accommodation with low running costs.
What about maintenance?
The L-size container requires minimal maintenance. Moreover, the steel structure is corrosion-resistant and the external cladding is durable and weather-resistant. Furthermore, regular maintenance includes cleaning gutters, checking seals around windows and doors, and annual inspection of electrical and plumbing systems. Additionally, we provide a comprehensive maintenance guide at handover.
Is finance available?
Yes, asset finance is available for qualifying purchases. Moreover, we work with specialist finance providers to offer flexible terms over 1-5 years. Furthermore, this allows you to spread costs while preserving working capital. Additionally, our team can provide finance quotations and arrange applications. Consequently, the L-size container becomes an affordable investment.
