Container Boiler Rooms & Plant Rooms

A containerised boiler room—sometimes called a container plant room or boiler housing unit—is a fully engineered plant space built inside a converted shipping container. These units provide a secure, relocatable, and cost-effective solution for housing biomass or steam boiler systems. They are widely used across the UK for industrial, commercial, and emergency boiler applications, delivering reliable heating and hot water where it is needed most. 

Containerised boiler housing offers several clear advantages over permanent brick-built plant rooms: 

• Rapid installation – delivered pre-fitted and ready to connect 

• Lower cost – reduced construction and labour expenses 

• Flexibility – units can be relocated, expanded, or linked together 

• Custom-built – tailored insulation, ventilation, flue access, and finishes 

For organisations looking to save time, space, and budget, a container boiler room is the smarter choice. 

Yes. They are ideal as temporary boiler housing during maintenance, shutdowns, or seasonal peaks, but can also be engineered as permanent plant rooms for long-term integration on site. Many clients across the Midlands, Birmingham, Manchester, London, and beyond rely on containerised solutions as both short-term and permanent infrastructure. 

Standard options include 20ft and 40ft containers, but we also provide multi-linked units for larger installations and bespoke dimensions to match specialist equipment. 

We design plant rooms for both: 

• Biomass Boiler Housing – helping businesses cut energy costs and reduce carbon emissions while supporting sustainability and net-zero goals. 

• Steam Boiler Plant Rooms – delivering reliable, high-temperature output for manufacturing, food production, pharmaceuticals, and chemical processing industries. 

Yes. Every boiler housing unit is built in compliance with UK regulations and includes:

• Fire-resistant insulation and lining
• Heavy-duty steel flooring
• Engineered ventilation and ducting
• Safe flue penetrations
• Personnel access doors and service hatches

This ensures safe operation, long-term durability, and peace of mind for operators.

We supply and install containerised boiler rooms throughout the UK, with regular projects delivered in the Midlands, Birmingham, Manchester, London, Leeds, and surrounding areas. Our expertise is trusted by contractors, facilities managers, and industrial clients nationwide.
