How Personal storage works
Our self storage units work like having an extra spare room or garage nearby, giving you convenient space when you need it. Our storage facilities provide practical home storage options for furniture, boxes, sports equipment and personal belongings. You can also visit your storage unit during our opening hours to add or remove items whenever it suits you, making it easy to manage your belongings as your needs change.
Our secure storage facilities are designed to keep your items protected, often offering greater security than storing things in a loft, shed or a friend’s attic. If you only need space for a short period, our short term storage options allow you to store for as little as one week. If your plans change, you can keep your storage unit for longer, giving you the flexibility to store for as long as you need.

You can also store hobby equipment, collectables, or items that you don’t currently have space for at home. However, hazardous, illegal, or perishable items are not permitted.
Personal storage units are available on a flexible basis, meaning you can rent a unit for as little as 14 or for as long as you need. There are no long-term commitments, so you can keep your unit for short-term storage during a move or renovation, or for longer-term use if you need ongoing extra space.
The size of the storage unit you need depends on how many items you plan to store. Storage providers usually offer a range of room sizes, from small lockers suitable for a few boxes to larger units that can hold the contents of an entire home.
