Frequently asked self storage questions.
 

What Is Self-Storage?
Self-Storage is an easy, flexible storage solution. You only pay for the space you need and the length of time you use it. Our clean, dry and secure storage rooms range from 9 sqft lockers to 10,000 sqft. Self-Storage is ideal for when moving home, or creating more space at your existing property. Self-Storage is a perfect storage solution for your business as you can get the right size of storage space for your needs without being tied into a lease or long-term rental agreement.

Will by possessions be safe?
Our Self-Storage centres are protected by the latest state-of-the-art 24 hour CCTV and police monitored security systems – for your total peace of mind. Only you or your authorised representative can access your self-storage unit.

Who provides the lock and who holds the key?
We sell locks at our facility or you may provide your own. A small shed type padlock is ideal. You are the only keyholder. Alternatively we can hold the key for you.

Is it possible to view the storage rooms before I rent?
