Fitted to
the brief.

We convert shipping containers into substations, catering and event units, and purpose-built spaces — designed, fabricated and delivered for the work they have to do.

02 What we build

Specialist units, from shipping containers.

Standard ISO boxes, cut, fitted and finished for a particular use — from power infrastructure to hospitality on the move.

Substations & electrical enclosures

Weatherproof container housings for switchgear, plant and site power — planned around access, ventilation, cable routes and security.

03 The process

From first conversation to a unit on site.

A clear sequence, so the design is settled before steel is cut.

  1. 01

    Consult

    Share the use, the site and the constraints. We help shape a practical brief — size, layout, services and how the unit will move.

  2. 02

    Design

    Layouts, openings, materials and finishes, issued for your review. Changes happen on paper, not halfway through fabrication.

  3. 03

    Fabricate

    The unit is cut, framed, insulated, fitted and finished in the workshop, ready for the conditions it will work in.

  4. 04

    Deliver & install

    Transported to site and positioned, with install support as agreed in the brief.

04 Why us

Built around the job, not a catalogue.

Custom Container Solutions is a UK fabrication company. We take a brief and turn a steel box into a working unit — without forcing it into a standard product line.

  • 01

    The brief comes first

    Every unit starts with how it will be used, where it will sit, and what it has to withstand.

  • 02

    Design into fabrication

    Openings, insulation, services and finishes are planned before the first cut, so the unit arrives as a complete piece of kit.

  • 03

    Built for site life

    Weather, access, security and transport are part of the design, not an afterthought once the box is painted.

  • 04

    One specialist partner

    A single fabrication company from the first conversation through to delivery and install — including unusual or first-of-kind briefs.

05 Selected work

The kind of units we build.

Workshop photographs of a two-storey event bar — closed, and with the hatches open — and a fully wrapped kiosk with a roller-shutter serving hatch. Other pictures are AI-generated visual placeholders, not photographs of completed CCS jobs, and will be replaced as the project library grows.

06 Questions

Before you send a brief.

What can you convert a container into?

Substations and electrical enclosures, catering and event units, and bespoke conversions such as offices, welfare, storage, pop-up retail and modular structures. The conversions range sets out the types of work we can take on. If you have another use in mind, send it over — we will tell you honestly whether it is a fit.

What sizes do you work with?

Typical briefs start from standard ISO containers, including common 20 ft and 40 ft boxes. Non-standard sizes and multi-unit or modular arrangements can be discussed as part of the design.

Do you deliver and install?

Yes. Delivery and install are part of the process and are scoped with the brief, so transport, access and positioning are agreed before the unit leaves the workshop.

Can you include electrical, catering or other specialist fit-out?

The scope is agreed at the outset. We can fabricate the shell and interior to your specification and work with specialist trades where the project needs them.

Where do you work?

Custom Container Solutions is a UK fabrication company, based in Knowsley, Liverpool.
