In real terms, each self storage container can hold the belongings of an average three-bedroom house, about 10 pallets or around 90 washing machines. Our guide to what fits in a 20ft container has more detail.

  • We ask for one month’s rental in advance for a self storage container plus a fully refundable £50 deposit for the padlock and key.
  • On termination of the contract all unused rental of the self storage container is refunded assuming the container is left empty, clean and undamaged and the key and padlock are returned.

Insulated against damp

Every container is lined with spray-foam insulation, which keeps the temperature inside steadier so less condensation forms. The containers are waterproof and ventilated. Read more about damp and condensation in storage containers, and about why we chose insulated, single use containers.

Access and security

Your container is open to you 24 hours a day; if you are coming before 8am or after 8pm, text or email us first so we have a record for security. The site has recording CCTV and security lighting, there are a few houses around it, and only you have the key to your padlock. There is no light or power inside the containers. See security on site and availability and the waiting list.
