There are a number of items that are not suitable for placing into personal storage. This is mostly due to health and safety reasons. From flammable liquids and perishable goods to living creatures, read the full list of items that cannot go into storage in our guide.
I have documents and paperwork to store – are your Peterborough storage units suitable?
Although our storage units are watertight and secure – making them suitable for document storage – we do also offer specialised document storage in Peterborough for confidential paperwork and commercial use. We use a computerised logging system to ensure that every page is accounted for.
I’d like a self-storage unit the size of a standard garage. Which size should I choose?
Standard-sized UK garages are around 100 sq ft, so we’d recommend choosing a unit that size. If you’re still unsure, refer to our ‘estimate your space’ guide or get in touch with our team.
