We understand that every customer's storage needs are unique, which is why we offer an extensive selection of unit sizes. This variety ensures you only pay for the exact space you require, optimising your costs and ensuring efficient use of space.

  • Lockers (10 sq ft): These compact units are ideal for individuals needing to store a few essential items, such as several boxes, travel suitcases, or student belongings.

  • Small Units (25 sq ft): Perfectly sized for the contents of a single room, these units can comfortably accommodate items like bedding, books, kitchenware, and small furniture pieces.

  • Medium Units (50 sq ft): A popular choice for those sharing flats or with slightly larger possessions, these units can store items such as bicycles, larger furniture, and multiple boxes.

  • Large Units (100+ sq ft): Our most spacious options are suited for comprehensive storage needs, including the entire contents of a multi-bedroom home or a substantial amount of business inventory and equipment.

To help you make an informed decision, our comprehensive online storage size guide provides visual aids and capacity estimates. Alternatively, our expert team is always available to offer tailored advice and help you determine the optimal unit size for your belongings.
