Your own private 250 cu ft wooden container, packed and sealed by us and kept in our alarmed Ashington warehouse — not a drive-up unit you visit. Storage is from £21 a week with no deposit, collection and redelivery are priced separately and quoted upfront, and we redeliver on 24 hours’ notice.
Container storage (sometimes called containerised storage) means keeping your belongings in a private storage container rather than a room-sized self-storage unit. In West Sussex it usually means one of two things: a steel container yard where you rent and access your own unit with your own key, or a shipping container delivered to your driveway for you to load. Wolves is a third option — we collect, wrap and seal your belongings into your own wooden storage container and store it indoors for you; you never visit it, drive a van, or hold a key.
Our team collects from your door across West Sussex, loads your belongings into your own 250 cu ft wooden container, seals it, and keeps it in our dry, alarmed warehouse in Ashington, West Sussex. You don’t drive anywhere, hire a van or hold a key to a unit — and when you want anything back, you give us 24 hours’ notice and we redeliver it to your door.
Container Storage West Sussex can mean a few different things — here’s an honest, side-by-side look at how the managed model compares.
| Wolves managed container storage | Drive-up self-storage unit | Steel container yard/hire | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who moves your things | We collect, wrap & load it for you | You hire a van and move it yourself | Usually you, or your own removal team |
| Where it’s kept | Your own sealed container in our indoor warehouse | A room-sized unit inside a self-storage centre | Steel storage containers, usually kept outdoors in a yard |
| Can you access it yourself | No — on request, we redeliver to your door | Yes, any time within opening hours | Usually yes, with your own key |
| Weather & damp exposure | Indoors, dry & alarmed — no weather exposure | Mostly indoors, though some sites use outdoor units | Outdoors — steel can sweat as temperatures swing |
| Who holds the key | We do — sealed & logged by our team | You do | You do |
| Price shown upfront | Yes — published weekly rate, no deposit | Varies — many quote on enquiry | Varies — usually quoted per container |
| Best for | Hands-off, protected storage you rarely need to touch | Frequent weekly self-access | Bulky or weatherproof-packed items, or trade use |
Honest note: if you’re dipping into your things every week, a self-storage unit with your own key still wins on convenience — container storage suits people who want it collected and looked after, not visited often.

No — you don’t visit or self-access your container once it’s in storage. Because we collect, wrap and seal everything for you, there’s no yard to drive to and no unit to unlock. If you need something back, tell us what it is, give us 24 hours’ notice, and we redeliver it to your door, then take the rest back into store.
No self-access also means no van hire, no lifting and no wasted trips to a storage yard — it suits people who want their belongings looked after rather than visited often. If you need to get into your things every week, a drive-up self-storage unit where you hold the only key will suit you better.
We collect for container storage right across West Sussex from our depot in Ashington, including Storrington, Henfield, Horsham and Worthing, plus Pulborough, Steyning, Billingshurst, Petworth, Arundel and Washington — see the full list on areas we cover.

Clear stock, archives or equipment out of a shop or office into sized containers — see business storage.

Local, managed and genuinely cared for — the Wolves Storage Sussex difference.
Most managed container storage locally makes you call for a price. We publish ours upfront — from £21 a week for one container, no deposit and no hidden fees; collection and redelivery are quoted separately, by volume and distance.
A steel container outdoors can sweat and grow damp as the weather swings. Ours is a wooden container kept indoors in a dry, alarmed, 24/7 CCTV warehouse — sealed by us and only opened when you ask.
The same care we bring to our LAPADA-accredited antiques work, so it suits furniture and fragile pieces as well as boxes — family-run since 2016 and rated 5.0 from 616 reviews.
No van to hire, no unit to drive to, no key to hold — we turn up, wrap and load your container on site, seal it and take it away, then bring it straight back on 24 hours’ notice.
We handle the heavy lifting, literally — here’s how storing with us works.

The questions West Sussex customers ask us most.
Container storage means your belongings are loaded into a private storage container rather than a room-sized unit. With Wolves, that container is a sealed 250 cu ft wooden container, collected from your door and kept in our alarmed Ashington warehouse — not a unit you visit yourself.
No. Self-storage is a unit or room you rent and access yourself, usually with your own key. Container storage with Wolves is a managed service — we collect, wrap and seal your own container and store it for you; you don’t visit or self-access it.
No — we don’t drop a steel shipping container on your drive. We collect your belongings and load them into our own wooden container back at our Ashington warehouse; nothing large is left at your property.
A single wooden container holds 250 cu ft of space (5ft × 7ft × 8.6ft) — roughly what fits in a one-bedroom flat, or 30–40 standard boxes. Got more to store? We just add on further containers, so space isn’t a limit.
No — containers are held in storage, not on an access-anytime basis. Ring us with 24 hours’ notice and we’ll bring the item you need straight to your door, keeping everything else safely stored away. If you’ll want to get to your things often, self-storage is the better fit.
From £21 a week for one container (about a one-bedroom home), £42 for two, £63 for a three-bedroom home (three containers), and from £79 for a larger three or four-bedroom home (four containers) — no deposit and no minimum term. Larger homes and business moves are quoted on your free quote, and collection and redelivery are quoted upfront, separate from the weekly rate.
Yes. Containers are kept in a dry, alarmed warehouse with 24/7 CCTV, and your belongings are fully insured for the whole time they’re in storage.
