FAQ: Storing During a Move
Security is our top priority. Our sites in Holsworthy and Hatherleigh are fully enclosed with secure perimeter fencing and monitored by 24/7 high-definition CCTV. Access is strictly controlled via an automated gate system that requires a unique customer code. Furthermore, shipping containers are famously difficult to breach; when fitted with a high-quality padlock and lock box, they provide a level of security far superior to a standard van or domestic garage.
Yes. We understand that trade work doesn’t always happen between 9 and 5. Our sites are open 24/7, 365 days a year. You can swing by at 6:00 AM to prep for the day or drop off expensive machinery late on a Sunday evening. Your access code works around the clock, giving you total flexibility.
Absolutely. We have designed our facilities with tradespeople in mind. Both sites feature professional concrete hard-standing, meaning no mud, no ruts, and no sinking.

Absolutely. We are open 365 days a year. We understand that Bank Holiday weekends are often the busiest times for moving home or heading out on a trip, so we never lock our gates to our customers. Christmas Day, New Year, or Easter—you have the same reliable access as any other day.
