Choose drive-up storage if you’ll be loading heavy or bulky things from a van, or visiting often with a vehicle. Choose an indoor unit if you’re storing household furniture, boxes or anything you’d rather keep inside a building, behind access-controlled doors. Most household moves suit an indoor unit; tradespeople and businesses with bulky kit often prefer drive-up.
Indoor units
Our indoor units are purpose-built rooms inside our buildings.
- Protected in layers. The external doors have access control, every unit has its own alarm, and our sites are watched by CCTV monitored around the clock by a professional monitoring company.
- Sheltered. Your things are inside a building, out of the wind and rain.
- Easy loading. Free trolleys take your things from the car park to your door, and there are ground-floor units for heavy items.
- Every size. From a locker for a few boxes to space for a whole house.
Drive-up units and containers
At Chipping Norton, Shipston-on-Stour and Warminster, we also have a limited number of drive-up units and outdoor containers.
- Park at the door. You load straight from your vehicle, with no corridors or lifts in between.
- Good for heavy and bulky things. Tools, machinery, garden equipment, stock and large furniture.
- Easy for frequent trips. Handy if you’re in and out with a van several times a week.
- Containers at Chipping Norton and Shipston-on-Stour sit in an access-controlled compound and are insulated to help stop condensation.
Ask us how your drive-up unit or container locks when you book, so you know whether to bring a padlock on the day.
