Storage
Storage you can get to at 3am.
Sixty units on one floor behind the office at Leckwith, from a locker for a student's boxes to a double garage for a whole house. Your own fob opens the gate and the building any hour of any day; cameras, lights, a trolley by the door and a loading bay under a canopy. Every size and price is below.
Units
Six sizes, by the week.
Including VAT and insurance to £5,000 of contents (more at £1 a week per £1,000). Paid monthly by direct debit, no deposit, a week's notice to leave and the unused days refunded.
| Size | About the size of | Fits | A week |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 sq ft | A large garden shed | The contents of a student room or a one-bed flat's boxes; about 40 boxes | £22 |
| 50 sq ft | A single garage, half | A one-bed flat, furniture and all; about 80 boxes | £36 |
| 75 sq ft | A single garage | A two-bed flat, or a three-bed house's furniture without the boxes | £48 |
| 100 sq ft | A single garage, long | A two- to three-bed house; the commonest unit between homes | £62 |
| 150 sq ft | A garage and a half | A three- to four-bed house, including the garage | £85 |
| 200 sq ft | A double garage | A four- to five-bed house, or a business's stock and racking | £105 |
Twelve weeks or more paid up front is ten per cent off. We move you in at the hourly rate (a one-bed into a 50-square-foot unit is usually the three-hour minimum) or you bring it yourself with the trolleys and the loading bay. Padlocks are £8 or bring your own.
Containers
A whole house between homes: a sealed container in our warehouse, £28 a week.
If you are selling and have nowhere to go, or the new house is not ready, the cheapest way to store a houseful is a 250-cubic-foot wooden container in our warehouse: we load it at your door on moving day, seal it, fork it into the racking, and bring it back when you ring. A three-bed house is usually three or four containers, so £84 to £112 a week, with no second loading charge if it is under four weeks. You cannot get at it at 3am, which is the trade-off against a unit, and we say so.
- £28 a week per container, loaded and returned by us
- A three-bed house is three to four containers
- Archive boxes for businesses at the same rate, catalogued
The building
Four things about the units.
Access
Your fob opens the yard gate and the building 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The office is open Monday to Saturday for anything that needs a person, and the cameras are watched overnight by a monitoring company.
Security
Cameras inside and out, lights on sensors, individual alarms on the 100-square-foot units and above, a steel roller door on every unit and your own padlock. Nobody but you has a key.
What you cannot store
Food, plants, animals, anything flammable or hazardous, anything stolen, and anyone living in it. Fridges must be defrosted and dry. Everything else, including the bike, the kayak and the Christmas tree, is fine.
Leaving
A week's notice by email or at the office, the unit swept, the padlock gone, and the unused days of the month refunded to the card. No exit fee, no minimum beyond the first week.
Pick a size, or ask us to.
Tell us roughly what you have and we will say which unit it fits and what the move-in costs. Units are available most weeks; the 100-square-foot ones go first in summer.
