STURDY STORAGE  - HOW IT WORKS


We offer secure and flexible self storage units of a variety of sizes. Book the unit that is right for you, and store your items. With long opening hours on both our sites you'll be able to access your stuff 7 days a week.


Entry and Exit


HOW DO I GET ENTRY TO MY UNIT?

With Sturdy Storage, you can enter the facility and your unit at East Knoyle using a four digit code for the main gate and keys as issued prior to or on move-in day or using your own padlock arrangement. We sell suitable padlocks for a small charge from £10 + vat if required.

At Shrewton the main gate is open during normal opening hours.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I’M IN MY UNIT AFTER CLOSING TIME?

You can exit your unit and the facility but you cannot re-enter until 8am the following day.

WILL THERE BE ANY EMPLOYEES ON SITE WHEN I ARRIVE?

In most instances we will have set up a convenient time to meet and greet on move-in day and show you to your storage unit and hand over keys as required.
Unless you have previously arranged to meet a member of our team on site, it is unlikely there will be any employees on site when you arrive.


Packing and Unloading my stuff 

IS THERE ANYONE ON SITE TO HELP ME UNLOAD OR LOAD MY STUFF?

While employees are sometimes on site, you should always plan to unload and pack your items yourself.

ARE THERE ANY STEPS TO ENTER THE FACILITY?

The East Knoyle and Shrewton facility site entrance and yards are at ground level with no steps.

HOW CLOSE CAN I PARK TO MY UNIT?

You will be able to park directly outside your outdoor storage unit whilst for indoor storage it is only a few metres walk to your unit.

ARE THERE ANY DOLLYS OR TROLLEYS AT THE SITE TO AID WITH UNLOADING/PACKING?

There may be dollys or trolleys on site to help you with unloading, but these are not always available and may not be suitable for your needs. Please plan to bring your own assistance if required.

I NEED BOXES AND PACKING MATERIALS. DO YOU SELL THEM?

Not at the moment but we are happy to recommend local companies that do.
