Portable cabins and containers for Leeds
Across Leeds, projects often need space before a permanent building is ready: a site office, a canteen, a classroom or an extra office for a growing business. A portable cabin or container building fills that gap without building work on site, and moves on when you no longer need it.
- Construction site office: 3 × 7 m container office with WC.
- Overflow office or meeting room: 3 × 7 m two-room container with a central WC.
- School or nursery room: 3 × 7 m open plan — see portable classrooms.
- Club house or store: 3 × 4 m or 3 × 5 m insulated room.
Economic price and reliability for Leeds portable cabins
Prices are to buy, ex works, + VAT. Delivery to Leeds by crane lorry is quoted in your written quote. Need more room? Container footprints run from 3 × 4 m to 3 × 12 m and from 4 × 4 m to 4 × 12 m, and larger layouts are built as modular buildings.
Each container has a bolted galvanised steel frame, insulated sandwich-panel walls and roof, PVC double-glazed windows, LED lights and sockets. Because the frame is bolted, not welded, the building can be dismantled and re-used many times, so a cabin can follow you to the next site. Every unit carries a 12-month warranty against manufacturing and assembly faults.

Quick solution with Leeds container buildings
A container building avoids the building work of a traditional extension. This is how an order runs, from the first inquiry to a working building:
- 1. Inquiry: send your size, layout and site access details.
- 2. Quote and drawing: a written quote by email, showing door, window and WC positions.
- 3. Build: factory-built while you prepare the base; lead time is confirmed in your written quote.
- 4. Delivery: by lorry-mounted crane (HIAB), assembled or flat-packed.
- 5. Ready: the cabin is placed on its base and an electrician connects the supply.
Container specification for Leeds
Our products are used in over 140 countries, with ISO 9001:2015 and CE certified production. The same bolted-frame system builds single site offices and larger modular classroom blocks.
The buildings are fully recyclable. The standard specification is below; our guide how warm is a container in winter turns these U-values into the heating you need.
| Building container | |
|---|---|
| Frame | Galvanised steel, bolted (not welded) |
| Walls | 50 mm EPS sandwich panel (PUR option) |
| Roof | 125 mm EPS (50 mm PUR on some ranges) |
| U-values | Walls 0.46, roof 0.26, floor 1.24 W/m²K |
| Floor | 2 mm PVC vinyl on 14 mm cement board, 200 kg/m² |
| Height | 2.64 m (3 × 7 m container) |
Delivery, base and planning in Leeds
The cabin arrives on a lorry with its own crane (HIAB), which needs clear access and no overhead cables near the lift. Where the lorry cannot reach, a flat pack cabin is assembled where it will stand. The base should be firm and level: a concrete slab or level pads.
Temporary cabins for building work are generally allowed while the work lasts. A permanent cabin usually needs planning permission from Leeds City Council; we supply drawings. Under the Building Regulations in England, a detached building under 15 m² with no sleeping accommodation is usually exempt, and one of 15–30 m² is usually exempt if it is at least 1 m from a boundary or built mainly of non-combustible materials.
Leeds second-hand and shipping container disadvantages
A used shipping container is bare steel built for cargo. It needs insulating, lining, glazing and wiring before anyone can work in it, and every opening is cut into a shell that may already carry dents and rust.
Second-hand portable cabins save money up front but can arrive with damp insulation, leaking joints, uncertified wiring and no warranty. Our building containers are insulated, double glazed and wired from new. See containers and portable office cabins, or our Glasgow portable cabins and containers guide.
Straight answers
Questions buyers ask us
How much is a portable cabin in Leeds?
From £3,290 + VAT for a 3 × 4 m room and £4,290 + VAT for a 3 × 7 m container office. A 3 × 7 m office with WC is £4,890 + VAT; delivery is quoted by postcode in your written quote.
How quickly can I have a cabin in Leeds?
We send a written quote with a drawing by email and confirm the build lead time in the quote. Cabins arrive on a crane lorry and are placed on your prepared base.
Do I need Building Regulations approval?
A detached building under 15 m² with no sleeping accommodation is usually exempt in England; 15–30 m² is usually exempt if it is at least 1 m from a boundary or built mainly of non-combustible materials. Check anything larger with Leeds City Council.
Can the cabin be moved later?
Yes. The galvanised steel frame is bolted, not welded, so the building can be dismantled and re-used many times.
Can I add toilets?
Yes. Choose the 3 × 7 m office with WC at £4,890 + VAT, or the two-room layout with a central WC at £5,190 + VAT.
