How much notice do I need to give to move out?
We require a weeks’ notice prior to you cancelling the rental. This can be done on the website or phone call/email.
What is your minimum and maximum rental periods?
The minimum rental period is 1 week. There is no limit on how long you want to rent a unit for, setup an online account and payment details which will allow the payments to be reoccurring.
Do the containers leak, and what about condensation?
No, our containers are new and water-tight. We have customers (including staff!) who store water sensitive items such as electronics and furniture with no problems, and in some cases for years.
Think about this – almost everything that’s imported into the UK from overseas comes in via a shipping container! Clothing, furniture, domestic goods, machine parts, medicine, toys, computers, mobile phones – all start their journey to the UK in a shipping container.
If the container is kept dry inside there will be no condensation as we have ventilation in all our units. If, however someone brings wet or waterlogged items into the unit this will cause condensation issues as this water is trapped in the unit. Therefore, please ensure all your items, such as washing machines and fridges/freezers, are completely dry before placing them into storage.
