Storage

Our Storage Warehouse

We are based at Bentwaters Parks, in Rendlesham and this is where your goods will be stored. Our warehouse is in a secure, locked compound with 24-hour CCTV, so you can rest assure that your effects are stored safely and securely.

It doesn’t matter if it’s commercial storage facilities you need or personal. We can store your belongings for short-term or long-term periods. So, whether you are in a temporary accommodation situation or living abroad, you can trust us to store your effects.

We store effects in one of 3 ways

• Wooden furniture crates
• Fully insulated 40ft shipping containers, which also contain the wooden furniture storage crates.
• Fully insulated 20ft shipping containers, for loose items that are not crated or that require easy access.

All items placed in our storage facility are also fully covered by our insurance, this is not extra like some companies charge.

Wooden Crates

We store within purpose built wooden furniture storage crates within our warehouse or 40ft containers – each crate holds approximately 250 cubic feet of effects and measures 7.5 foot tall, 7 foot deep and 5 foot wide.

Our removal crews are experienced in packing the containers to ensure that the containers are stacked securely and safely. They will also utilise as much space as possible, to ensure that you are only paying for as few containers as possible. We often refer to this process as a bit of a jigsaw puzzle!

As we only use our own crews to load the containers, it allows us to ensure the contents are safe and returned to you in the same condition. All your effects will be covered by removal blankets, this prevents any items rubbing together, that may cause damage. A full inventory of items and conditions is compiled and a copy provided.

Once the wooden containers are loaded, they are then forklifted away within our warehouse or in a 40ft container. This adds an extra layer of security as they will need to be forklifted down to be able to access them.

20ft Shipping Containers

We have recently purchased some 20ft storage containers to expand our storage facility. These 20ft containers are fully insulated and vented, so there is no risk of condensation building up.

When we store in our 20ft containers it is a very similar process to storing in our wooden storage containers. All of you furniture will be blanket wrapped to protect it from any damage and a full inventory created.

We are the only people who have access to the shipping containers and no keys are given to customers. This allows you to still be insured under our insurance and give you peace of mind that your effects are safe, whilst they are stored with us.
