The site is open from 6am to 9pm, 365 days a year. The site is floodlit so you can still access in the winter months.

Yes. We have customers who store cars and motorbikes in boxes. Some boxes have better access for storing a car than others, give us a call to check what we have available.

Clearly label boxes to stay organised.
Store heavy and bulky items at the back of the unit.
Do not store anything that is damp in the box, as they will go mouldy and mould will spread to other items.
Keep an aisle for easy access so you can move between items.
Put your most frequently used items at the front of your unit.
Keep tools handy – you may need them.
Utilise the full height of containers – store upwards, not outwards.
Drain all white goods before storing.
Make a blueprint map or inventory of ‘what’s where’ in the unit.

We provide a padlock and key, which we ask to be returned at the end of your contract.
