Security

Self-storage containers offer virtually unbeatable security and safety, making them an ideal choice for businesses or individuals seeking dependable, long-term storage solutions.

Every shipping container comes fitted with watertight rubber seals that protect their contents from wind and water.

Our experienced team can also fit our shipping containers with lock boxes and supply heavy-duty, highly secure locks.

Protects your belongings from rodents and insects

A storage container at our secure facility is designed to be insect and rodent-proof, ensuring your items remain intact at all times.

Our team will carry out periodic maintenance to ensure that no unauthorised visitors can access your container (including rats and other rodents!). We'll make sure that no holes develop over time and we'll inspect the door gaskets and floors frequently.

When using a shipping container, you also must take care when storing items to minimise the risk of attracting vermin. Our best advice is to store goods in sealed packaging and avoid storing perishables or food items in your storage container for prolonged periods.

Business use

Self-storage containers are not only perfect for businesses and tradespeople seeking more space during busy periods or looking to expand, but they’re also an invaluable asset for homeowners. With no long-term contracts or costly business rates, you can pack them with whatever you like.
