Our storage business was established in 2012 after recognising a local shortage of affordable, secure storage. The business has since grown and provides storage solutions for a number of domestic and local trades. All storage containers are based at Newton Lodge in a secure location. We use brand new green shipping containers to safely store your goods; they are fitted with tamper proof padlock shield for extra security. Double door locking mechanism and very tight rubber seals to maintain all weather proof storage of your goods. All containers are placed at ground level to ensure that you can drive right up to the door for easy locking and loading. Each storage unit has a dimension of 20ft x 8ft x 8ft (160sqft) we also have some 10ft x 8ft x 8ft (80sqft) containers available. All come with a very substantial padlock and key. If stacked sensibly and carefully our 20ft units will hold the contents of an average 3-4 bedroom house. We have also had a number of people storing vehicles, motorbikes, quad bikes, minis and family cars.

Our containers which are designed to sit on the open deck of ships. In fact most things we store would already have spent the first few months of their lives in one being transported into the country. The containers themselves are completely waterproof. What we do recommend is that customers try to avoid bringing moisture into the unit. There are small vents to prevent condensation and aid air flow through the unit however it will take some time to escape from the unit. With that in mind please ensure freezers are defrosted and washing machines and dishwashers are fully drained down.
