All units are correctly ventilated where necessary and even more so when it comes to shipping containers, which are sealed and were designed to handle even perishable cargo across the seas in salt water environments. All our garages have damp proofing and correct damp proof courses.

Q) Why are you so cheap ?

A) We own and operate all our own sites ie. we don't rent the land the storage sits on meaning we can be very competitive. All our sites are kept clean and tidy. We represent fantastic value for money.
