As the summer holidays approach, we’re reminding schools across the South to pre-book their container collection early to avoid missing out on preferred time slots. At Storage on Site, we work closely with schools, academies, and colleges, providing secure, flexible storage and workspace solutions that support everything from day-to-day operations to major refurbishment projects.
With demand for collections peaking in July, August and September, booking your off-hire early is the best way to secure your preferred slot and avoid any unnecessary delays or hire extensions.
Supporting Schools with Reliable, Practical Storage Solutions
We’ve built strong working relationships with schools across Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, London, and beyond. Whether you need temporary storage, contractor facilities, or a bespoke space to support a new initiative, we offer a range of container-based solutions tailored to the education sector.
20ft Storage Containers
Our most popular option with schools, these secure, weatherproof containers are perfect for safely storing furniture, equipment, books, and supplies during summer refurbishments or clear-outs. The practical 20ft size is big enough to store a large amount of equipment, without taking up too much space. They’re delivered directly to your site and can be placed in playgrounds, car parks, or other convenient areas with minimal disruption.
Welfare Cabins & Site Offices
If you have contractors working on-site over the holidays, we also provide portable cabins for use as break rooms, site offices or welfare facilities. These are particularly useful for construction teams working on classroom refurbishments, sports facility upgrades, or building extensions – and they help schools stay compliant with HSE standards.
Modified Containers For Sale
In addition to container hire, we also work with schools on permanent solutions using modified containers. Whether you need a sensory space, uniform shop, outdoor classroom, or extra storage that matches your school colours, we offer bespoke modifications including:
- Timber cladding
- Custom paint colours
- Internal fit-outs
- Partition walls
- Electrical fittings
- Doors, windows, and ramps
These custom units are a cost-effective, creative way for schools to gain extra space – especially where budgets and planning restrictions might rule out traditional buildings.
Why Pre-Book Your Container Collection?
Summer is our peak season, and with so many schools scheduling collections in the same short window, it’s not uncommon for slots to book up weeks in advance.
Pre-booking your off-hire is the best way to:
- Guarantee your preferred collection time
- Avoid additional hire charges
- Reduce stress during the busy back-to-school period
Even if you’re unsure of the exact date your unit will be ready, you can still contact us to pencil in a slot. Our friendly team is always happy to be flexible where we can.
Get Ahead of the Rush
Whether you’ve hired a unit from us or are planning your next project, now is the time to get your off-hire booked in. And if you’re interested in a more permanent solution, ask us about our modified containers for sale.
