Self-storage you can really trust
The UK’s first fully online self-storage provider
We believe the “self” part of self-storage is too often overlooked. That’s why we created the UK’s first online self-storage booking process, allowing you to book a unit whenever it suits you. All you need is your ID, an internet connection, and a smartphone.
Follow our simple-to-use booking process below to start storing your belongings in just minutes.
Get storing in 3 easy steps
1. Book a unit
Choose your site, verify your ID, and book your unit online.
2. Access your unit
We'll email/text instructions to you so you can access your unit on site.
3. Load & lock
Load your items and lock your secure container unit.
Guaranteed security
Whether it’s business equipment or household items with sentimental value, having your belongings damaged or stolen can have serious consequences.
That’s why we invest heavily in security, making it the core of our operations. Our steel shipping containers are equipped with security padlocks encased in tamper-proof shrouds and are located within a 24/7 CCTV-monitored site. Access is restricted to customers only, via a fob linked to your specific unit.

How soon can I store my goods?
Once you have completed our online booking process and paid for your storage, you can begin storing immediately.
You will receive all the information regarding your site and unit in your confirmation email and SMS, which will outline how to access your unit.
What size units do you offer?
We provide secure 20ft shipping container units that offer 150sqft of space for safely storing business and personal belongings. If you’re not sure if this provides enough space for your goods, please visit our Prices and Sizes page.
Will my goods be insured?
We require all those who store with us to have insurance in place, which we offer as part of our booking process for £8.68 (inc VAT) per £1000 of goods stored within your unit, per month.
If you do not need our insurance because you already have your own, please call us to discuss this and we’ll organise your storage accordingly.
How do I pay for storage?
Most providers offer storage on a contract basis, offering preferable rates for longer commitment periods.
Unlike others, we offer self-storage on a rolling monthly subscription basis. You can cancel anytime, and you’re not locked in or penalised for doing so.
Do you provide packaging and boxes?
Yes we do. You can find out more about this on our Packaging Materials page.
Is there a minimum term / contract?
Unlike other self-storage companies, we don’t tie you into long contracts. We operate on a subscription model, meaning you can leave us at any time without any penalty.
Since your storage is paid for a month in advance, cancelling your contract means no additional payments will be taken from the moment you cancel.
How do I access my unit?
- 1. To access your unit, make a note of your unit number and row, as well as the address of your chosen site. This can all be found in your booking confirmation email and text.
2. Travel to the gates of your site’s location. The map you’ve been sent will show you where your gate is.
3. Locate the key lockers and enter your key locker code – this will have been sent to you via email. Pull the black lever next to the numbers down to open. Remove keys and fob and close the key locker.
4. Find your unit on the map next to the key lockers (by tag colour and unit number).
5. Locate fob reader – it looks like a number keypad next to the gate. Enter your code, wait for the gate to open, and enter.
6. Now drive, walk, or ride to your unit.
What areas do you cover?
We operate in the West Midlands, with sites in Aldridge (Walsall), West Bromwich, and Coventry.
What other services do you offer?
