What information do you need from me to make a booking?

Alongside the usual contact information, we will also ask you to provide us with a Photographic ID, i.e. passport/driving licence, Proof of address, i.e. utility bill etc…and a current photograph.

Do I need to have insurance for my belongings while they are with you?

Yes. You’re required to have contents insurance on the goods you store with us and will need to insure them for their correct value.

We can provide insurance from as little as £1.00 per £1,000 per week. Just ask us for details.

Our own specialist self storage contents protection provides you with both the appropriate cover and dedicated support should you need to make a claim.

Be mindful that your usual household insurance may not cover you whilst your possessions are in a self storage facility. Best to check as sometimes the policy might state it covers “contents away from home”, but often this doesn’t happen to include cover in self storage.

We would always recommend that you check with your own policy first, but please also feel free to ask us any questions and we will try to help answer them.
