Prices for a refitted container start from around £17,000, for a garden room, and rise to around £59,000 for truly swanky accommodation

What’s more, the containers can be placed, within reason, at a location of the customer’s choosing and the company will position it using an ex-military container mover – and even help out should the customer want it relocated.
