Work out the size, then the monthly price.

Your list from the card at the top carries down here. Pick a move-in date and a cover level and you’ll see the first payment, the monthly total and the half-price saving before you reserve.

What’s going in?

Your list: 1 × sofa, 1 × double bed, 1 × wardrobe, 1 × fridge-freezer, 15 boxes. Change it in the card at the top or list every item.

About 205 cubic feet packed, which needs 35 sq ft of floor.

Unit size

We’d suggest 35 sq ft for this.

Reserve by 4pm to move in tomorrow.

Cover is required. Choose ours or show us your policy.

How does moving in work?

Most people are through reception and unloading within fifteen minutes. Bring ID, a proof of address and your padlock.

  1. Size it

    Count the big things on the estimator. It suggests a unit and shows it to scale.

  2. Reserve it

    Pick a move-in date. No payment to reserve; we hold the unit for seven days.

  3. Move in

    Show ID at reception, set your PIN and lock the unit with your own padlock.

  4. Come and go

    Gate open 6am to 10pm every day. Give seven days’ notice when you are done.

64 cameras, one gate, and only you hold the key

Every corridor is lit and recorded for 30 days. The gate opens to your own PIN, the building is alarmed and monitored out of hours, and each unit door has its own alarm contact. We never hold a key to your padlock.

Every question on one page

15 questions answered

  • How do I know which unit size I need? Sizes and prices

    Use the estimator: count the big pieces and roughly how many boxes, and it suggests the smallest unit that holds them with room to pack. As a guide, a one-bed flat fits in 50 sq ft and a three-bed house in 100. You can change size later if you got it wrong.

  • Is there a minimum stay? Sizes and prices

    No. The first month is the only month you commit to. After that you give seven days’ notice and we charge to the day you leave.

  • Who gets the half-price first month? Sizes and prices

    Everyone reserving a unit of 35 sq ft or larger, for any length of stay. It is taken off your first payment automatically.

  • Are prices per week or per month? Sizes and prices

    Per calendar month, VAT included. We never quote a weekly price that turns into a bigger monthly bill.

  • Can I move to a bigger or smaller unit? Sizes and prices

    Yes, at any time and at no charge, if one is free. We lend you trolleys and you move across the same day.

  • When can I get to my unit? Access and security

    The gate opens to your PIN from 6am to 10pm, every day including bank holidays. Business accounts can ask for 24-hour access.

  • Who has a key to my unit? Access and security

    Only you. You lock it with your own padlock, and we never open it unless you ask us to or a court orders it.

  • How is the building protected? Access and security

    A PIN-controlled gate, 64 cameras recorded for 30 days, an intruder alarm monitored out of hours, and staff on site every day. Every unit door has an individual alarm contact.

  • Can someone else visit my unit? Access and security

    Yes. Add them to your account at reception and they get their own PIN, so the gate log shows who came and when.

  • What do I need to bring on move-in day? Moving in

    Photo ID and a proof of address, a padlock (or buy a disc padlock at reception), and proof of insurance if you are not taking our contents cover.

  • Do you sell boxes and packing materials? Moving in

    Yes, at reception: boxes in four sizes, tape, paper, bubble wrap, mattress and sofa covers. Unused boxes can be returned within 30 days.

  • Can a removal company deliver straight to my unit? Moving in

    Yes. Tell us the date and the company name, and we let them in during office hours. Drive-up units are the easiest for a big load.

  • What am I not allowed to store? What can be stored

    Anything alive, food that can spoil, anything flammable or explosive (paint thinners, fuel, gas bottles), firearms, and anything illegal. Full list in the terms.

  • Can I store a car or motorbike? What can be stored

    Motorbikes, yes, in a drive-up unit with the fuel tank nearly empty and the battery disconnected. We do not have space for cars.

  • Is my stuff insured? What can be stored

    It has to be. Take our contents cover from £6 a month for £2,000, or show us a home insurance policy that covers goods in storage.

Reserve by 4pm, move in tomorrow morning

No payment to reserve. We hold your unit for seven days, and the first month is half price on 35 sq ft and up.
