Unit Sizes & Pricing
We offer a wide range of sizes to suit every need, from small locker-style units (around 16 sq ft) perfect for boxes and documents, to large units (up to 100 sq ft) suitable for the contents of a 2-3 bedroom house. Visit our Storage Units page for full details and pricing.
Absolutely! If you find you need more or less space, we'll do our best to transfer you to a more suitable unit, subject to availability. Just speak to our team and we'll arrange the move.
Our team can help you estimate the right size based on what you're storing. As a rough guide: a 25 sq ft unit fits the contents of a small van, 50 sq ft suits a one-bedroom flat, and 100 sq ft can hold the contents of a 2-3 bedroom house. When in doubt, we recommend slightly larger, as it makes access much easier.
What You Can Store
You can store most household and business items including furniture, appliances, boxes, documents, tools, stock, seasonal items, sports equipment, and more. Essentially, most non-hazardous, non-perishable personal or business belongings are welcome.
For safety and legal reasons, you cannot store: flammable or explosive materials, hazardous chemicals, perishable food, live animals, illegal goods, or anything that could cause a nuisance. Firearms and ammunition also require special licensing. If you're unsure about a specific item, please ask us.

There's no long-term or fixed-term contract. Billing is monthly as standard, due on the 1st of each month, and your tenancy simply rolls on from month to month. We can arrange weekly payments if that suits you better. When you decide to leave, we ask for 14 days' written notice.
