Industrial Units & Warehouses to Rent in Ilkeston

Warehouses, workshops, manufacturing space and industrial units across Ilkeston Last updated: August 2026

Looking for an industrial unit, warehouse, workshop or manufacturing space to rent in Ilkeston?

Ilkeston sits between Derby and Nottingham with access to M1 Junctions 25 and 26. It has a long-established industrial and manufacturing base and a genuine variety of estates rather than one standard type of accommodation.

The main locations include Hallam Fields, Manners Industrial Estate, Booths Trading Estate, Quarry Hill Industrial Estate, Cossall Industrial Estate, Soloman Park, West Hallam Industrial Estate and the major regeneration scheme at New Stanton Park. Each suits different requirements.

OMEETO Ltd has first-hand experience across the Ilkeston industrial market, including Hallam Fields, Manners, Cossall, Soloman Park and Booths Trading Estate.

Which Ilkeston Industrial Estate is Right for Your Business?

Hallam Fields

Hallam Fields has a long manufacturing history and remains one of Ilkeston’s most significant industrial locations. OMEETO Ltd is marketing accommodation ranging from smaller workshops through to approximately 185,000 sq ft, together with an established 600 kVA electricity substation.

Much of the accommodation has relatively low eaves (typically around 3–3.5 m). It is not a modern high-bay distribution park. Its strength lies in large quantities of practical, competitively priced industrial floor space plus extensive yards for loading, trailer parking and external storage — particularly well suited to manufacturing and lower-level operations.

Particularly well suited to: manufacturing, engineering, assembly, bulk or low-level storage, and businesses needing extensive ground-level operational space and power.

Manners Industrial Estate

Manners is one of Ilkeston’s principal established industrial locations and is particularly well suited to trade-counter operators as well as engineering, manufacturing and SME occupiers. It generally offers more modern conventional industrial units than Hallam Fields and is especially useful in the 2,000–10,000 sq ft range. Enterprise Court provides smaller starter units of roughly 900–2,000 sq ft.

Particularly well suited to: trade-counter businesses, trade suppliers, SMEs, workshops and occupiers seeking straightforward modern industrial units.

Booths Trading Estate

Booths Trading Estate on Awsworth Road is one of the closest industrial locations to Ilkeston town centre, approximately 0.8 miles away and 0.3 miles from the A6007 at the Aldi island.

The estate provides industrial and trade accommodation together with opportunities for external storage. OMEETO Ltd currently markets a 3,552 sq ft warehouse/trade unit with a 0.2-acre yard, as well as approximately 0.2 acres of hardstanding storage land at Booths.

Its position combines convenient access to Ilkeston town centre with routes towards the A610 and M1 Junction 26.

Particularly well suited to: trade businesses, smaller warehouses, businesses wanting town-centre proximity, and occupiers requiring yard or external storage space.

Quarry Hill Industrial Estate

Centred on Merlin Way and Eagle Road, Quarry Hill mixes established workshops and warehouses with newer higher-eaves development and hybrid office/warehouse units. Badger Court, for example, offers units of approximately 2,199 sq ft (combinable to around 6,597 sq ft) with 6 m eaves on a secure site. Hybrid units combining offices with warehouse or workshop space are also present on the estate.

Particularly well suited to: modern warehouse requirements, light manufacturing, engineering, hybrid office/warehouse users and businesses prioritising cubic storage height.

Cossall Industrial Estate & Soloman Park

Cossall sits approximately 1.2 miles north-east of the town centre with good access towards the A610 and M1 Junction 26 (Ilkeston station is nearby). The estate mixes traditional manufacturing buildings with more modern warehouse units.

Soloman Park forms part of the wider Cossall area and provides a concentration of modern small and medium industrial units arranged around a fenced central yard capable of handling articulated vehicles.

Particularly well suited to: small/medium warehouses, light industrial, engineering, storage and distribution, and businesses wanting secure yards with good A610 access.

West Hallam Industrial Estate

One of the largest industrial locations in the wider Ilkeston area (approximately 118 acres with over 100 buildings). It offers a range of warehouse and storage accommodation and is particularly relevant for logistics and distribution. The estate is securely fenced with CCTV and a 24-hour gatehouse. Note that HGV movement restrictions apply overnight and on Sundays — check operating requirements carefully.

Particularly well suited to: warehousing, distribution, storage and businesses needing a secure industrial environment.

New Stanton Park

New Stanton Park is the major regeneration of the former Stanton Ironworks site on the edge of Ilkeston. Covering approximately 200 acres, it is around 2.5 miles and 10 minutes from M1 Junction 25.

The current masterplan provides capacity for approximately 2.24 million sq ft of modern industrial and warehouse accommodation, with build-to-suit buildings ranging from around 20,000 sq ft to more than 1 million sq ft. Planning permission covers industrial and warehouse uses including E(g)(iii), B2 and B8.

The development is particularly relevant to businesses requiring modern large-scale manufacturing or logistics accommodation. It benefits from substantial power infrastructure and plans to reintroduce a direct rail connection to the Midland Mainline.

Development is already underway. DX Group was the first major occupier, with a purpose-built regional freight hub. Fassa Bortolo has secured full planning permission for an approximately 170,000 sq ft UK headquarters and manufacturing facility, expected to create more than 100 skilled jobs. Amenity provision includes McDonald’s and Starbucks drive-thrus, together with InstaVolt EV charging.

Open storage and hardstanding land is also available in the immediate vicinity, providing options for haulage, plant and external storage alongside the main development.

Particularly well suited to: large-scale manufacturing, logistics and distribution, power-intensive operations, high-bay warehousing and businesses requiring purpose-built modern accommodation close to the M1.

What Size Do You Need?

• 1,000–3,000 sq ft — Manners, Quarry Hill, Soloman Park and Booths are strong starting points.
• 3,000–10,000 sq ft — Manners is particularly useful (including for trade-counter requirements); also consider Quarry Hill, Cossall, Soloman Park and Booths.
• Larger manufacturing / extensive floor space — Hallam Fields.
• Larger conventional warehouse / logistics — West Hallam.
• Modern smaller higher-eaves warehouse — Quarry Hill.
• Large-scale modern / high-bay / build-to-suit — New Stanton Park.

Always compare eaves height, loading doors, yard depth, three-phase capacity, parking and HGV access — two units of the same floor area can work very differently.
