Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Self Storage

CB Self storage has over 300 rooms, all of which are clean, dry, indoor and secure; they all come with options to provide really easy 24/7 access. Think of a big hotel for your furniture. Our sites are well-lit and friendly, safe environments.

We have little rooms the size of small shed up to large units the size of triple garages. The average size is around 100Sqft (10ftx10ft) but we are happy to help you decide which unit size is best for you. It’s often the hardest part.

The unit you rent is secured with your Free 4 digit combination padlock, you can also access various areas onsite including the entrance using your own 6 digit code. If you wish someone else to access your unit you may give them your code.

1. Indoor storage – all of CB units are indoors, they are dry, secure, easy to access and safe. Perfect for furniture and soft goods. As well as archive or business units that require a damp, dust free environment. Some of our units even have power and wifi
2. Container storage – Great for builders and drive up garage storage, they tend to get a little damp and cold as they are outside. They have very large heavy sturdy doors, for household items we would always recommend choosing indoor storage. They are a very good budget/basic option.
3. Climate controlled – This is very rare in the UK, although some people require this for specific reasons such as wine storage, it’s not required for day to day storage of furniture. It’s more common in American states, for example, that have large climate fluctuations.
4. Removals storage – this storage often offers no access, your units are loaded in a wooden box and fork lifted into a very large warehouse 4-5 boxes high. Access is limited
