Storage Near Me, Cheap Containerised Units across Dorset, Somerset & Wiltshire

From £30 per week per container at our Shaftesbury yard for short-term needs (a few weeks between completion dates). Longer-term contracts (3+ months) drop to around £25/week. Each container holds the contents of roughly a 2-3 bed home, so for a 1-bed flat we'd usually quote a half-container at £20/week. Quoted alongside your removal so you only deal with one company and one bill.

Yes, secure perimeter, monitored on-site, alarmed containers, restricted-access yard. Your contents go into a sealed timber container at our Shaftesbury yard, the seal stays on until you ask us to break it. We carry £2.5m public liability insurance and goods stored on our premises are covered against fire, water and theft as standard.

By appointment, yes, usually with 24 hours' notice so we can pull your container to ground level for easy access. Most customers don't need access during their storage period, so we keep the containers stacked to save you money. If you need self-access daily, a self-storage facility is a better fit than us, we'll happily point you to one in the area.

Yes, items in our containers are covered against fire, water damage and theft as standard, up to a per-container value we agree at the start. For higher-value contents (antiques, art, anything over £50,000) we can extend cover. The insurance certificate ships with your storage quote so you can see the limits before you commit.

One week minimum, no maximum. Short-term storage between completion dates is one of our most common scenarios, pay for what you use, no penalty for ending early or extending. Longer-term storage (3+ months) gets a small discount on the weekly rate.

Self-storage (Big Yellow, Safestore, etc.) suits you if you need daily access, want to drive your own van to the unit, and prefer per-square-foot pricing. Containerised storage (us) suits you if you're storing the contents of a home between moves, don't need daily access, and want the convenience of one company doing the removal AND the storage. We're cheaper for full-home volumes; self-storage is cheaper for single rooms or small loads with frequent access.

Our standard timber containers stay dry and ventilated; for ordinary household contents (furniture, boxed kitchenware, beds, sofas) that's plenty. For art, antiques, musical instruments, or anything with sensitive electronics, we recommend a climate-controlled facility, we'll point you to a partner facility in the area and combine the removal logistics if useful.

Honest answer: from £30 per week per timber container at our Shaftesbury yard, no deposit, no padlock fee, no minimum-term contract. A typical 3-bed home fits inside two containers; a 1-bed flat or studio usually fits in half a container. Compared to the bigger national self-storage chains (Big Yellow, Safestore) we're 30–50% cheaper because we run a single small site rather than a 24/7 staffed retail facility, and because most of our storage customers are also using us for their removal, we offer combined pricing that drops the storage cost further. Quoted in writing within two working hours. £50k goods-in-transit cover applies to the move-in and move-out legs; secure, monitored, alarmed throughout the storage period.

From £25 a week or £100 a month per standard wooden container, the same rate whether you're in Gillingham, Shaftesbury, Sherborne, Yeovil, Salisbury, Dorchester, Bournemouth or anywhere else inside our 25-mile radius.

Collection and re-delivery are quoted as a fixed price separately based on your distance from the yard. Quoted in writing within two working hours.
