You can keep your tools in a self-storage unit at night, you can pick them up in the morning on your way to work, and put them back in the evening.

When self-storage can come in handy

  • Keeping your equipment safe and secure: self-storage is often a more secure option than your van, garage or shed.
  • Minimising clutter in your home: if you are forever dumping your tools in the hall or by the back door then a storage unit is a more satisfactory solution – marks, stains or scuffs in the home are prevented.
  • Preventing damage: if you’ve got a proper place for everything your kit is less likely to suffer accidents and keep in tip-top condition.

“Gina has been amazing. We popped down with our little baby after visiting a competitor and we were swayed straight away despite it being more expensive than I had originally planned. It’s clean, light and parking is always easy. Thank you so much”
