UNITS SIZES
There are 10 different unit sizes from floor space of 35sqft all the way up to 300sqft.

GROUND FLOOR OR UPPER LEVEL?
Most units are on ground floor but we have a few that are upstairs.  The upstairs units are lower cost.

WHAT ARE THE OPENING HOURS?

Monday - Friday    08:00 - 18:00
Saturday                09:00 - 17:30
Sunday                  10:00 - 17:00

Almost all our units are drive up units meaning you can park right next to the door of the unit.  This makes it quicker and easier to load/unload. 

IS THE SECURITY GOOD?
Your units are very secure.  The units are secure with strong padlocks and also natural security since there is only one access in which goes past our house and with people and dogs about and overlooked.  We have done storage here for 50 years and have never had an incident. 

WHAT CAN I STORE?
Our storage is ideal for household goods, tools, business items, archive storage, classic car storage, motorhome and caravan storage.  We have small units and very large 300sqft units. 

WHAT CAN I NOT STORE?
A lot comes down to common sense here, but we do not allow:
- petrol, diesel (if in a vehicle tank then this is ok)
- explosives
- living things
- illegal goods
- firearms

PADLOCKS
We give you free use of our padlocks.  You must only use our padlocks since we use very strong anti-tamper padlocks.

Yes you can.  Simply follow the online instructions and complete your booking.  The booking can be made either from your PC, tablet or mobile.  You will need your debit or credit card handy.

Yes you can do this and most customers do this.  It is free to reserve the unit and you only pay when you move in.  Your card details are taken at the reservation stage but if you decide to cancel before the move in date you can do this and there is no charge. 
It is advisable to reserve before you move in due to demand.  It is unlikely your unit size will be available on the day you move in unless you reserve in advance.
 
CAN I CANCEL MY RESERVATION IF I CHANGE MY MIND?

Yes you can.  You are only charged on the day you move in so you can cancel the subscription before you move in.  

We accept debit and credit cards.  We do not accept cash or bank transfer.  If you reserve your unit we pre-authorise your bank card (no payment taken) so the card is ready for the payment to be taken automatically on the day you move in.  The card payment is taken by direct debit every month on the same date until such a time as you move out.  

Monthly.  This is taken automatically on the same date each month for the forward month.
