Frequently Asked Questions
Our storage contracts run on a 4 weekly cycle which gives you full flexibility to rent storage with us for as short or as long as you need to. We only require 2 weeks’ notice when you want to move out of storage, so your use of storage can adapt to changing plans whenever it’s needed.
When you have signed the storage agreement, we will give you your personal access code and explain the alarm system so that you know exactly how everything works. If you ever have any questions about how to access the building, our helpful team is always happy to help.
When you come by our reception to sign your storage contract, we will ask you for your photographic ID, proof of address and card payment of your first invoice. You will then be given your access information so that you can come and go to your storage unit as often as you want.
