Arundel, West Sussex — Castle, Cathedral and an antiques quarter on the River Arun. We collect from your BN18 door, load and seal everything into your own container, and store it inland at our alarmed Ashington warehouse, from £21 a week for storage and insurance — collection is quoted separately, with no deposit needed.

Weekly storage prices for Arundel — insurance included, no deposit.
We’ll show exactly how full your container is — no rounding up.
Living beneath Arundel Castle and the Cathedral has its charm, but it rarely comes with a spare room or a driveway wide enough for a van. Our crew collects from wherever you are in BN18, wraps and loads everything on the spot, and seals it into your own container before it leaves the property — no separate trip to load a hired van, and no wrestling a wardrobe down a narrow staircase alone. See exactly how it works, from first call to redelivery.
That container then travels inland to our alarmed warehouse in Ashington, roughly fourteen miles away via the A24, A280 and A27, where it stays dry, insured and under 24/7 CCTV for as long as you need. Pricing is flat from £21 a week per container with no deposit — check the full breakdown on our pricing page, or work out roughly how many containers your move will need with the storage size guide.
From the seal-and-store process — container built and closed on your BN18 doorstep before it ever leaves the property — Arundel gets a fully managed, fully insured service. The crew wraps, loads and seals everything into your own wooden container, then drives it to our alarmed Ashington warehouse, from £21 a week with collection quoted separately upfront.
Your own sealed wooden container, built and closed up on your Arundel doorstep, then kept dry, alarmed and off the riverbank at our inland Ashington warehouse — never a shared unit, never left standing in a damp riverside garage.

Storage runs on the same open-ended basis: no month-by-month renewal to remember, just one flat weekly rate until you’re ready to close the account.

Learn moreThe crew blanket-wraps your furniture for safe transit on an Arundel collection, whether the job’s a cottage in the historic centre or a house on the edge of town, and the container goes from empty to loaded and sealed in one visit.

Arundel isn’t a coastal retirement town, and it isn’t a quiet village on the Arun like some of its neighbours — it’s a working heritage and tourism town, built around a castle that’s been the seat of the Dukes of Norfolk since 1555 and a soaring French Gothic church that Joseph Hansom designed — opened in 1873 and raised to a Cathedral in 1965. Visitors come for the Castle, the Cathedral, the WWT Wetland Centre and Arundel Park with Swanbourne Lake inside it — and that steady footfall supports a proper antiques trade most towns this size simply don’t have.
That combination — heritage tourism, a genuine antiques quarter, and a historic core dense with period and listed homes — is what actually shapes storage demand here. Dealers need somewhere to hold stock between markets, families downsizing out of a Georgian cottage need somewhere for what won’t fit into a smaller place, and owners letting a second home near the river need somewhere for furniture between changeovers. None of that is well served by a drive-up unit a few miles south — it needs a service that comes to a tight, historic doorstep and treats what’s inside it properly.
Honest, simple pricing — from just £21 a week for storage and insurance, with collection and redelivery quoted separately upfront, in Arundel, fully insured, with no deposit. Need more room? We simply add another container, so you only pay for the space you use.

Get Your QuoteBook Wolves for an Arundel collection and nothing gets handed back to you to organise: the crew fills and closes up your container on the pavement outside your BN18 door, then hauls it back to the Ashington warehouse itself. The alternative sitting a few miles south, out toward Ford and Yapton on the industrial fringe, still means finding a van, clearing an afternoon and threading a route out of the historic centre and back — twice.
| Wolves — managed storage | A self-storage unit | |
|---|---|---|
| Who drives & lifts | Every lift on an Arundel job — wardrobe, dresser or dining table — is carried out by the crew alone; from the first item lifted to the last one loaded, you’re not asked to touch a thing. | Sourcing a van, then loading, unloading and re-loading it single-handed at the far end, is simply what a drive-up unit out toward Ford or Yapton asks of you. |
| Packing & wrapping | The crew brings protective blankets and pads every antique or fragile piece properly before the container ever gets sealed, wrapping and loading your furniture as part of collection. | Sourcing bubble wrap and blankets is step one, and packing the unit by hand yourself is step two — both happen before anything’s even in storage. |
| Getting to Tarrant Street or a Castle-side doorway | Whatever’s tight about a Tarrant Street frontage or a lane below the Castle is our problem to solve, not yours — the van stops on whichever nearby street allows it, and the crew carries everything the rest of the way on foot. | You’re the one working out whether a hired van can even squeeze onto Tarrant Street, or where it can legally sit near the Castle walls, before a single box moves. |
| Getting your things back | A single phone call is all it takes to have your sealed container rolling back down the A27 toward your Arundel door, usually within a day. | Getting everything home means booking a van a second time, driving out to collect it, loading up all over again, and reversing the whole journey. |
| Deposit | A deposit has never featured on a single Wolves quote or invoice, in Arundel or anywhere else we cover. | Handing over a deposit before you’re even issued a key is standard at the self-storage sites out toward Ford and Yapton. |
| Insurance while moving | Insurance on an Arundel container begins the second the crew steps through your door, well before it’s anywhere near the Ashington warehouse. | Ford and Yapton unit policies typically wait until your belongings are locked inside before cover switches on, leaving the move itself uninsured. |
| What you pay | One container at £21 a week is the storage cost of an Arundel job — no deposit, and no hidden extras waiting further down the invoice, though collection is quoted upfront as its own separate figure. | That unit’s rent doesn’t cover a van, the fuel, or the miles down to Ford or Yapton — all of that gets added before you know the real total. |
Every container holds a fixed 250 cu ft, whatever’s going into it — a flat above the antiques shops on Tarrant Street empties into far fewer of them than a house out toward Ford Road. Find the closest match in the table, and the crew will settle on the exact number once they’re standing in the property packing it.
| Your home | Containers you’ll need | From |
|---|---|---|
| A studio or a few rooms | usually one container, sometimes part-filled | from £21/week |
| A one-bedroom flat | one container | from £21/week |
| A two-bedroom home | about two containers | from £42/week |
| A three-bedroom home | about three containers | from £63/week |
| A larger house | four or more containers | from £79/week |
A period cottage in the centre doesn’t always give up its contents as easily as its floor space suggests — low doorways and narrow stairs can mean more careful lifting, not necessarily more containers. Where that adds one to the total, or takes one away, an Arundel booking is billed for exactly what the crew seals into the container on the day — nothing rounded up in advance. Table prices cover storage and insurance; collection & redelivery are quoted separately, upfront.
Local, managed and genuinely cared for — why local homes and businesses choose us.
A Georgian table or a gilt-framed painting carried out of a period Arundel home is insured from that very first lift, not from whenever it reaches the warehouse. The policy runs on for however many nights it sits alarmed and under CCTV out at Ashington, and it’s still working the day everything comes home through the same BN18 door.
LAPADA accreditation matters more here than in most of our towns, given how much of Arundel’s trade runs through Tarrant Street and the lanes below the Castle — and it’s the same family crew, working those streets since 2016, that carries it. Checkatrade-verified too, so an Arundel booking is never handed to a stand-in crew for the day.
Listed-building renovations in Arundel rarely finish on the date first quoted, and neither do period-home sales — so the container simply keeps its place at £21 a week, insurance already factored in, for as long as either one takes. There’s no deposit to arrange beforehand, and no separate bill turns up once the crew’s finished loading.
Ashington sits around 14 miles inland, reached via the A24, A280 and A27 — far enough that we don’t chase a spot in the local search results, close enough that the crew still collects from your Arundel door and carries everything down from the Castle streets themselves.
A renovation running over, a tenancy changeover, or a downsize with no fixed end date each point to a different one of our services — short-term storage covers the first two, long-term storage the third. Antiques and period-home pieces that need proper wrapping belong in furniture storage, and dealers or traders holding stock and paperwork off-site use business storage.
Arundel sits well within reach of our Ashington base, alongside neighbouring Littlehampton and Storrington, and the villages ringing the town — Amberley, Angmering, Walberton, Fontwell, Ford, Burpham and Warningcamp all get the same collection. Check areas we cover for the full patch, or use the size guide to work out how many containers your particular move needs.
Tarrant Street has been the town’s main run of independent shops for decades, with antiques and crafts dealers clustered along it and further warehouses reaching onto the High Street and Fitzalan Road. It’s a genuine trade, not a tourist dressing — dealers here handle the same fragile, high-value stock a collector or a family clearing a period home might need moved and stored properly.
The housing around it tells a similar story. The historic core, tight against the Castle and the Cathedral, is built up with Georgian and Regency cottages on narrow plots — low doorways, steep stairs, barely a driveway between them. Move further out and the plots open up: riverside houses along the Arun, and larger detached homes on the edges of town with room to spare the centre never had.
We work with both. A dealer’s stock or a cottage full of antique furniture gets the same LAPADA-accredited wrapping and handling as anything else we collect, carried out through whatever staircase or doorway the property actually has — then sealed into your own container and taken inland to Ashington, from £21 a week with no deposit.
We had a big move with everything going into a mix of long term and short term storage. Jack was very responsive and helpful answering my many questions as we got ready for the move, and the four guys on moving day were super efficient and friendly. They have their own storage facility too, which is reassuring and just makes everything more straightforward.
We handle the heavy lifting, literally — here’s how storing with us works.
From a downsize below the Castle to a dealer clearing overflow stock, this is what Arundel most often hands to a container — fully managed and insured, from £21 a week, with collection and redelivery quoted separately.
Clearing dealer stock or a family collection ahead of a move or sale needs LAPADA-accredited care, not a general remover’s van — we wrap, seal and store each piece properly.
Georgian and Regency cottages in the centre were laid out long before modern sofas and wardrobes existed, and so was the retirement flat most people downsize into. Whatever won’t fit the smaller rooms goes into its own container instead of a skip, kept safely until family or a sale decides what happens to it next.
Listed consent doesn’t come with a fixed finish date, and a mid-project Arundel renovation often runs longer than planned as a result. Rather than furniture sitting under dust sheets for months, it goes into a sealed container until the last coat of paint is down and the rooms are ready again.
Between lets or seasons, a second home near the Castle or the river doesn’t need furniture sitting idle — we store it securely inland and redeliver whenever the property’s needed again.
Our alarmed, insured warehouse sits inland at Ashington, West Sussex (RH20 3JT) — a 14-mile run down the A280 and A24. The crew comes to Arundel, loads at your BN18 door, and takes everything back there to store.
We cover the whole of BN18 — Arundel itself, the streets below the Castle, and the villages ringing the town from Amberley across to Walberton — and there’s nowhere for you to drive to. Tell us the postcode when you get in touch and the family crew loads, seals and drives it all back to Ashington, then redelivers on a day’s notice.

Managed vs self-storage
Costs & pricing
Protecting belongings
The questions West Sussex customers ask us most.
Yes — we collect right across BN18, including the narrow lanes below the Castle, Tarrant Street and the High Street. The crew works around any parking restrictions in the historic centre, so nothing is left for you to carry or drive.
Storage starts from £21 a week per 250 cu ft container, with no deposit and insurance included; collection and redelivery are quoted separately, upfront. Tell us roughly what’s moving and we’ll confirm both figures within 24 hours.
Not really — the nearest self-storage sites sit a few miles south, toward Ford and Yapton, not in the historic centre. We’re a different, fully managed model: we collect from your Arundel door and store everything inland at Ashington, so you never have to find or drive to one of those units yourself.
Neither. Your belongings go into your own private wooden container — not a steel shipping container, and not a drive-up unit you visit yourself. We build and seal it on your doorstep, then take it inland to our alarmed Ashington warehouse, where it stays until you want it back.
Yes — we’re LAPADA-accredited, and antique furniture, paintings and family pieces from period and listed homes are wrapped, padded and handled to that standard from the first lift to the last. It’s the same care a dealer or auction house would expect, not a general remover’s approach.
Each private wooden container measures 250 cu ft (5ft × 7ft × 8.6ft) — roughly what empties out of a one-bedroom flat. Need more room for a larger house on the edge of town? We simply add extra containers, so you only pay for the space you actually fill.
Yes — downsizing out of a period or listed cottage is one of the most common reasons we’re called here. We collect what won’t fit through the smaller door, wrap and seal it into your own container, and store it for as long as you need while you decide what to keep.
There’s no minimum term — you’re billed week by week for as long as you actually need the space. When you’re ready, 24 hours’ notice is usually enough to have your sealed container redelivered to your door.
