Who Our Self Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you’re renovating, decluttering for a sale, or in a chain and need to move out before your new place is ready, our self storage gives you a secure, flexible buffer. We can combine it with our removals service so your furniture goes straight into storage and then on to your new home when you’re ready.
Renters
Short-term moves, relocating for work or travelling abroad often need temporary storage. We offer smaller units ideal for flat contents, with flexible terms so you’re not tied into a long contract. Access is straightforward when you need to pop in and collect items.
Landlords
Landlords use our storage to hold furniture between tenancies, keep replacement appliances, or store fixtures during refurbishments. It’s often safer and cheaper than leaving items in an empty property, and our clear pricing makes it easy to plan costs around tenancy cycles.
Businesses
Local businesses use us for stock, equipment, archive documents and seasonal displays. Compared to leasing extra commercial space, self storage can be far more cost-effective and flexible. We can accept deliveries by arrangement and help with transport to and from your unit if required.
Students
Students at nearby universities and colleges often need storage over the summer or during placement years. Our smaller units are ideal for boxes, suitcases, bikes and small furniture. We can collect directly from halls or rented accommodation to save the hassle of multiple trips.
What You Can Store with Us
Most household and business items can be stored safely, provided they’re clean, dry and properly packed. Typical items include:
- Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
- Boxes of clothes, books, files and personal belongings
- Home electronics, TVs, computers and small appliances
- Business stock, promotional materials and spare equipment
- Bikes, sports gear and hobby equipment
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are not permitted in our units:
- Perishable goods, food or anything that could attract pests
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles, fuel, paints and solvents)
- Illegal items or anything obtained unlawfully
- Live animals or plants
- Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents (these are better kept in a safe or with a specialist)
If you’re unsure about a particular item, we’ll happily advise before you book.
How Our Self Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with details of what you need to store, roughly how many items or boxes, and how long for. We’ll help you estimate the right unit size and provide a clear, no-obligation quote. Where required, we can bundle storage with our removals service to handle everything in one go.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves or full-house contents, we may recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us see the volume and type of items you have, and advise on packing, protection and the most suitable storage configuration. Accurate surveys help avoid paying for more space than you need.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or we can provide a professional packing service with quality materials. Proper packing reduces the risk of damage and makes best use of your unit. We supply boxes, tape, bubble wrap, furniture covers and can advise on labelling so you can easily find things later.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our trained team can collect from your home, office or student accommodation, or you can bring items directly to the facility yourself. When we handle the transport, your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance, and we use appropriate equipment to move heavy and delicate items safely.
5. Unloading & Placement in Your Unit
At the storage facility, we load your unit methodically, with heavier items at the base and clear walkways where possible. We can follow your priorities – for example, placing frequently needed boxes at the front. Once locked, you retain control of access, and when you’re ready to move out, we can deliver items directly to your next address.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe storage costs should be straightforward and predictable. Our pricing is based on:
- Unit size (measured so you only pay for the space you need)
- Duration of stay (with discounts for longer-term storage in some cases)
- Any additional services, such as packing, collection or delivery
There are no hidden extras for basic access to your unit. Before you commit, we confirm all charges in writing so you know exactly what to expect each month.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY Lock-Ups or Casual Man-and-Van
Using a professional self storage provider is about more than just four walls and a padlock. With us you get:
- Fully insured cover during removal and transit when we handle the move
- Trained handling of heavy, awkward and fragile items
- Consistent standards of security, cleanliness and maintenance
- Clear contracts and predictable pricing, rather than cash-in-hand arrangements
DIY or casual options can appear cheaper upfront, but often involve higher risk of damage, poor access, and no recourse if something goes wrong. With a professional operator, you’re buying reliability and peace of mind.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to recognised industry standards and treat your belongings as if they were our own.
- Goods in transit insurance when we collect and deliver items, subject to policy terms
- Public liability cover for work carried out on your premises or at our facility
- Trained and uniformed staff used to handling everything from everyday furniture to delicate items
We’re always happy to explain our insurance in plain language and help you check whether you need any additional cover through your own policy for very high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We focus on careful handling and responsible practices throughout:
- Use of appropriate protective materials such as covers, blankets and wrap
- Thoughtful stacking and layout to minimise strain on items in long-term storage
- Re-use of materials where possible and recycling of cartons at end of life
- Route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage when we collect or deliver
Our aim is to protect both your belongings and the environment, without over-complicating the service.
Real-World Ways Clients Use Our Self Storage
Moving House
Chains fall through, completion dates shift and renovations overrun. We regularly step in to hold full home contents for a few weeks or months, keeping everything clean, dry and ready for delivery once your new keys are in hand.
Office Relocation or Downsizing
Businesses use storage when changing offices, trialling hybrid working, or consolidating space. Desks, chairs, files and IT equipment can be held safely while you decide what to retain, sell or dispose of.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
Sometimes you simply need to be out of a property quickly – end of tenancy disputes, sudden sale, or personal circumstances. We can often arrange storage and collection at short notice, giving you breathing space while you plan your next step.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Cann Hall cost?
Costs depend mainly on unit size and how long you need it. Smaller units suitable for a few boxes or student belongings are naturally cheaper than spaces sized for a full flat or house. We’ll help you estimate the volume properly so you’re not overpaying for unused space. If we’re also handling collection or delivery, that’s quoted separately and clearly itemised. We don’t charge hidden admin fees, and you’ll always receive a written breakdown before you commit to anything.
Can you arrange same-day or urgent storage?
Where space allows, we can often set up storage at very short notice, including same-day in genuine emergencies. It helps if you can provide an accurate idea of what needs storing so we can reserve the right size unit and, if required, assign a removals crew. While we can’t guarantee availability on every date, we do our best to accommodate urgent situations and will always be upfront if a particular time or size is not possible.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
When we transport your items to or from our facility, they’re covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to policy limits and conditions. Once in storage, we maintain a secure, well-managed environment and hold appropriate public liability cover. Many clients also choose to arrange their own contents cover for stored goods, either through an existing home policy or a specialist provider. We’re happy to explain what’s covered on our side so you can decide if additional insurance is worthwhile for high-value items.
What’s included in your self storage service?
The core service includes a clean, secure storage unit, access during agreed opening hours, and basic facility features such as lighting and security systems. We also offer optional extras: professional packing, supply of materials, collection and delivery, and help with loading or unloading. You can choose a simple self-service approach, bringing and packing everything yourself, or a fully managed option where we handle the whole process from your door to the unit and back again when you’re ready.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A man-and-van typically provides transport only, often on a casual basis, with limited or no insurance and no dedicated storage facility. We operate a managed, professional service, combining secure units with trained teams, proper equipment and clear contracts. Your belongings are handled systematically, protected with appropriate materials, and held in a monitored environment rather than a random garage or yard. For anything more than a one-off light move, the added reliability and protection usually represents far better value.
How far in advance should I book self storage?
For the best choice of unit sizes and times, it’s sensible to book one to two weeks ahead, especially in busy periods such as summer or end-of-month. That said, we understand plans can change quickly. If you’re unsure of exact dates, we can pencil in a provisional booking and adjust as your situation becomes clearer. The earlier you speak to us, the more options we can offer, but we will always try to help with short-notice requirements where capacity allows.
