Using storage
You may be moving house and need to store furniture for a while, renovating your home, or moving abroad and need to keep household possessions safe. It could be that your hobby or sports equipment is taking over the house and you just don’t have enough space at home. Companies use self-storage to keep archives and files safely secured, freeing up space in the office. You may want to store excess stock, exhibition and event equipment or trade supplies. Whatever it is, we can probably help you.
Our containers are treated with a spray insulation foam to reduce the variation in temperature and thus condensation. Our containers are completely waterproof and are designed to spend a long time on container ships at sea. We do suggest trying to avoid bringing sources of moisture into the container. Each container has several ventilation areas, but any water or vapour source brought into the container will evaporate and then take time to escape. If any of your items contain water or other fluids, such as fridges and freezers, please drain them before storing. More on damp and condensation.
Animals, perishable goods/foods, plants, explosives, firearms, or flammable items. Please don’t store anything that could leak and damage the container flooring. The full list is on our page about what you can and cannot store. If there is anything you’re not sure about, please ask.
You can’t store a car. A motorbike or ride-on mower is fine, as long as you put a drip tray underneath it so no fluid, fuel or oil can leak onto the container floor.
