Self storage is an easy way to gain some extra space. Put simply it is your own storage unit within a facility where only you have access to your room. We will help you to choose the type and size of storage unit that suits your requirements. You choose the length of your stay and you can access your unit as often as you require within store opening hours.

There are a number of reasons to use self storage, whether for domestic or commercial use self storage facilities offer a flexible solution:

• If you’re moving house and you need to temporarily store furniture
• To ‘de-clutter’ whilst marketing your home to sell or to rent out
• When you’re renovating your home and need to keep household possessions safe
• If you’re relocating abroad and want to store your valuables during the move
• Somewhere to put your belongings while you go off travelling
• If you find that your hobby or sports equipment is taking over the house
• When you just don’t have enough space at home anymore
