Why our guides are different
Storage advice from people who actually store things — every day, in Ashington.
Most storage advice online is generic, and almost all of it is written for drive-up self-storage. Ours is different: we run our own vans and our own alarmed warehouse in Ashington, West Sussex, so every guide is grounded in how belongings actually behave in storage — backed by real conservation science and years of packing, sealing and storing for local families and businesses.
Our own vans & crewsWe collect & deliver ourselves
The condensation science behind why unheated units ‘sweat’ in winter — and how a dry, ventilated container keeps furniture, leather and electronics safe.
The honest full cost of storage near you — and why £21/week managed storage, plus an upfront collection quote, often beats a ‘cheaper’ self-storage unit once the van, fuel and your time are added.
No unit to drive to, no van to hire, no guessing a size. How the collected, sealed-container model really compares — and the two times self-storage still wins.
When your completion dates don’t line up, where do your belongings go? A practical timeline and checklist for storing between homes across West Sussex.
Why you should never seal solid wood or leather in plastic, what acid-free tissue is really for, and the packing mistakes that cause damage months later.
The items UK storage rules and insurance won’t allow — flammables, fuel, food, plants and illegal goods — why each is banned, and what to do with them instead.
A mattress can be ruined in storage by two pieces of advice you’ll read everywhere — sealed plastic wrap and a garage. Here’s how we clean, cover and store mattresses for customers across West Sussex so they come back the way they went in.
Worthing draws downsizers, retirees and priced-out Brighton commuters with more space for your money, a long seafront, and a direct line into London Victoria. Here’s what the different pockets of BN11–BN14 are actually like to live in, and the practical side of the move estate agents skip.
Horsham draws London commuters, downsizing families and people priced out of Crawley and Brighton with a historic market-town centre, a fast direct line into London Victoria, and easy access to the countryside on its doorstep. Here’s what the different pockets of RH12–RH13 are actually like to live in, and the practical side of the move estate agents skip.
Chichester runs on a different rhythm to the rest of West Sussex — a working cathedral inside Roman-and-medieval walls, a harbour full of sailing boats down the road, and the South Downs where the city stops. Here’s what PO19’s different pockets are actually like to live in, and the groundwork estate agents leave out.
Crawley was drawn on a plan in 1947, not grown around a market square — and that shapes almost everything about living here, from its self-contained neighbourhoods to one of the quickest train runs into London in the area. Here’s what each pocket of RH10–RH11 is actually like, and the groundwork a move throws up that estate agents don’t cover.
Haywards Heath offers something none of the other towns in this series can: a fast run to Brighton in one direction and a fast run into London in the other, from a station junction that built the town around it in 1841. This guide covers what each pocket of RH16–RH17 is like to live in, and the groundwork a move here needs that rarely makes it onto a property listing.
Keep furniture safe from dust, damp and damage during building work — and give the trades a clear space. Collected storage that comes back to a finished home.
Your sale’s fallen through, or your dates don’t line up, and your belongings need somewhere to go — today, not next month. Here’s exactly what to do, and how flexible, no-deposit storage takes the deadline pressure off.
Family photographs, letters and certificates degrade for very specific, well-documented reasons — damp, light, acid and pests. This guide explains the conservation science in plain terms and how to store keepsakes properly, at home or in managed storage in West Sussex.
Clear the garage of out-of-season kit — garden furniture, the BBQ, Christmas decorations — and keep it dry and safe until the season comes round again.
