Storage for RAF and Forces Families

In short: If you are posted to RAF College Cranwell, RAF Digby or RAF Waddington, our insulated 20ft containers at Temple Bruer are close by: Cranwell and Digby are both about 3 miles away as the crow flies, and Waddington about 6 and a half. You rent month by month with no time limit, or by the week for a short spell, and give two weeks’ notice when you leave.

Close to the stations

Temple Bruer is on the Lincolnshire Heath between Lincoln and Sleaford. RAF College Cranwell is to the south, RAF Digby to the east and RAF Waddington to the north. Directions take you from the A15 to the containers.

Between postings

Weekly rental is £40 a week, with a minimum of two weeks, which can cover a short gap between homes. For four weeks or more, renting by the month at £130 including VAT costs less, and there is no time limit. See storage when moving house.

While you are away

From the second month, your payment is taken automatically each month by credit or debit card and we email you an invoice, so there is nothing to do while you are away. Our containers are insulated to reduce condensation, so things stored for a long time stay dry (see storing furniture long term). You insure your own contents.

Access

The site is open 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. There is no light or power inside the containers.
