Usually the same day. If a container is free you can sign, fit your padlock and start loading within the hour. Reserving online holds a container for seven days at no cost and with no card details.

No deposit and no admin fee. You pay the first month when you move in, and monthly after that.

Photo ID and your own padlock. We sell padlocks on site if you would rather buy one here.

Yes. Come to any yard during office hours and we will show you both sizes so you can judge the space yourself.

Container access is 24 hours a day, every day. The office and phone are staffed Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm.

Each yard has an access code that everyone on site uses. We change it every month and email the new one to every current customer, which is how the yard stays shut to people who have moved out. Your current code is always in your online account.

Nobody. You fit your own padlock and keep the only key. Our staff cannot open it, and we do not hold a spare.

Gated yards, recorded CCTV around the clock, and an access code that we change every month so anyone who has left cannot get back in.

Yes, but tell us first and give them the access code. We cannot let an unknown person into the yard on your word over the phone.

Nothing living, nothing perishable, and nothing hazardous — no fuel, gas bottles, paint, chemicals, fireworks, firearms or anything illegal. If you are unsure, ring and ask before you load.

Yes. A 20ft container takes most cars and small vans. Drain nothing and leave the keys with you — we do not move vehicles.

These are purpose-built steel shipping containers, so they keep out rain and wind. For anything sensitive we would still suggest a cover and a pallet underneath.

You can store stock and collect from it as often as you like. What you cannot do is trade from the yard, hold appointments there, or use it as a registered business address.

Yes, if you book it in with us first. Tell us the courier and the day, and we will sign for it and put it in your container.

There is one at each yard, available Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Pallet deliveries are handled by our team at no extra charge.

Our sister company Secure Removals can. Book the van and the container together and move-in day gets arranged for you.

Monthly, by Direct Debit or card. Invoices are due 30 days from the date of issue.

One month. After that you stay as long as you like.

Seven days. Tell us through your account or ring the yard, and you only pay for the days you use.

We send reminders. If an account goes far enough past due we overlock the container, which means you cannot get in until it is settled. We would much rather talk to you than do that, so call us if money is tight.

Goods cover is available and most customers take it. Your own home contents policy sometimes extends to self-storage, so it is worth checking before you buy ours.
