Max Self Storage sites offer purpose-built, self-contained and lockable rooms that you can hire for short or long periods. You have free access at any time during opening hours.

Almost anyone who needs extra space can use our facilities, including private individuals, local groups and businesses. The space can be used for long-term storage of items such as furniture, or for seasonal goods and other types of temporary uses.

This depends on what you need to store.  As a guide, you would need around  50 sq ft of storage for the contents of a typical one-bedroom flat, with more like 150 sq ft needed for a large house.  Units are 7-8 feet high, so stacking is possible.  You are welcome to call us on 0800 988 4439 for expert advice, or visit your nearest branch to view some units for yourself. There's no need to make an appointment.

Unit sizes vary by location but typically range from the size of a small garden shed up to the size of a double gargae. Lockers are available to rent in some locations, and you can rent more than one unit if required.

Your rental price will depend on the size of your unit and the location of the facility. Units on upper floors are typically cheaper than ground floor units. To obtain a detailed quote, call your local branch or complete the Get a Quote form on this website. 

Rental is paid monthly, with one month’s security deposit.  You will usually need to give two weeks’ notice when vacating a unit, and charges will be calculated up to the end of that two-week period.  Provided there is no damage to the unit, your deposit will be returned after you empty it.

Ask us for a quote, or call us on 0800 988 4439 and explain what you need.  After completing a simple licence agreement and paying for first month’s storage, along with a deposit, you can have immediate access.  To move in, bring with you a photo form of ID (photo driving license or passport) and proof of address. We will then complete a simple license agreement and with payment of your first month's rental, along with (refundable) security deposit you can have immediate access to your unit.  You will need a padlock to secure  your storage unit, and you will  need to provide proof of insurance, or buy it from us.  There are no other fees, as long as future payments are kept up to date.

There is no minimum length of stay, but you will be charged for a minimum 28 days storage. 

You can stay as long as you wish, provided your rental payments are up to date.

If you don’t arrange insurance with us, you will need to lodge with us details of the insurance that you have arranged elsewhere. You can buy £2,000 worth of cover from us for as little as £2.24 per week.

We will endeavour to match any competitor quote. The competitor's quote must be presented to us in writing. It must offer a similar type of storage, and the competitor must be within 2 miles of our store.

Most everyday items are fine, but there are exclusions for flammable, toxic and perishable materials and for livestock. We prohibit the storage of anything containing a lithium-ion battery with a rating of 160Wh or higher; this includes e-bikes, e-scooters, and all other forms of electric vehicle. A full list of prohibited items can be obtained from your local branch. Please call us on 0800 988 4439 if you have questions about specific items.

Yes, subject to availabilty, we offer you the flexibility to move your belongings to a larger or smaller unit when required.

If you have a wind-surfing board, camping equipment, bicycles, sailing equipment or just about anything else, self storage is the perfect way to keep your kit in a convenient place.

Businesses store an enormous range of things with us, whether archive files, seasonal goods, surplus stock or spare furniture.  Because you retain easy access, self storage offers an ideal alternative to more expensive alternatives such as extra office or warehouse space.  Some businesses even operate what amounts to a mini distribution centre.

Our staff will be happy to recommend local companies who can help you move your belongings. Please contact your nearest branch for details. For large, long distance or international moves, you can contact our sister company, GB Liners. A link to their website can be found in the footer at the bottom of this page.

Avoid packing crucial items such as passports or bank books.  Your clothes will usually be fine without mothballs, as vermin control is carefully maintained.  It is worth using the original transit bolts in washing machines so they are not damaged while moving.  Finally, when stacking goods, start with the heavier and more robust items, with lighter and delicate objects higher up.
