FAQs

ACCESS

Can I access my storage 24 hours a day?

Yes. You have the keys so you can access your self storage 24 hours a day 7 days a week. See our access page for more information.

How do I get my stuff into my storage unit?

Many of our customers choose to hire or borrow a van from a friend. All our units can be driven directly up to so it makes it easy to load and unload. Please remember the biggest van you can hire on an ordinary licence is 7.5 tonnes, which provides you with about 160sq ft of space, the same as a 20ft container. Alternatively we can give you a recommendation of a removals company in your area. Call us on 0800 916 8705 for some advice.

GENERAL

Can I store my caravan with you?

Yes, we have shingle surfaced 3.6m x 7m bays which benefit from the great security which covers our storage site. Check out out caravan and motorhome storage page or give us call for more information.

Can I call you anytime?

Our office hours are 8.30am-5pm Monday to Friday and 9am-4pm Saturday. You can get us on the phone any time during these hours. However, outside these hours please use our contact page and send us an email. We’ll be in touch!

I’m leaving. How much notice do you need?

We only want you to pay for the days that you want so just give us 14 days’ notice and we will refund you for any unused days.

Do I need to insure my goods?

Whilst your goods are in storage they need to be covered by an insurance policy. We offer a comprehensive policy ideally suited to storing your possessions which can be arranged on arrival at a rate of £2.50 per £1,000 worth of goods per 4 week period. We do however recommend you check any household or business policy you may have as you may already be covered.
