How many bedrooms?
Nobody can size a move perfectly from a web page, because two three-bedroom houses can differ by half a container. Use this as a starting point, then tell us what you have and we will give you a straight answer.

Where it says contact us, we have not published a figure because we have not verified it for the exact containers we will send you. We would rather be asked than be wrong.
Will it fit on your drive?
Room for the wagon
The hiab needs to park alongside or in front of the drop point. A narrow lane with parked cars both sides is the usual problem, not the drive itself.
Clear overhead
The container goes up and over, so no power lines, telephone cables or low branches above where it lands. This is the thing most people forget.
Firm, level ground
Block paving, tarmac or concrete is fine. Soft lawn is not. A slope is manageable up to a point, and we will tell you where that point is.
