Do I have to tell you how long I need the storage container for?
No. You can hire the storage container for as long or short as you like subject to our minimum hire period of a month.
Do the storage containers suffer from condensation?
We have very little problem with condensation. Condensation was generally associated with older (1980’s and before) flat roof-designed containers; modern stores don’t have the same problem. From our experience, on the rare times when condensation does occur, it’s generally as a result or moisture being imported into the container by loading it on a wet day or going in and out of the store on a wet day. So, if you can, (we know the great British weather doesn’t always allow) try to access your store when it’s not wet.
Can I leave things in the storage container for you to dispose of?
When you are ready to vacate the storage container, we do ask you to take all your belongings with you. It is really expensive for us to dispose of rubbish and items left in your storage container as a commercial business. Unfortunately, we will charge you for the disposing of goods left in the storage container after you vacate.

When you’ve emptied the storage container, please visit our office to let us know you have vacated the storage container or email us. Once the storage container is checked, our staff will approve the return of the refundable deposit.
