Billingshurst grew up on the Roman road to Chichester and still runs on a working commuter station today — Wolves collects from your RH14 door, seals everything into your own wooden container, and stores it a short run up the A29 in Ashington, from £21 a week for storage and insurance — collection is quoted separately.

We’ll show exactly how full your container is — no rounding up.
The A29 through Billingshurst runs along the line of Stane Street, the Roman road that once carried traffic between London and Chichester, and the village still sits at the point where that route crosses the A272 — a junction that’s shaped its layout for the best part of two thousand years. It’s a working commuter town in its own right too: trains leave the station roughly twice an hour north to London Victoria via Gatwick Airport, and twice an hour south to Bognor Regis, more than plenty of nearby villages can claim. Our Ashington warehouse sits a short way up that same A29, around 7.7 miles and about 15 minutes by road — one of the shortest journeys of any town we cover.
Proximity doesn’t buy any shortcuts, though: the crew still comes out to your RH14 door, assembles your own wooden container on the spot and closes it up there, then makes the short A29 run to Ashington themselves, so nothing gets loaded, driven or locked away by you. Wondering what that actually looks like on the day? The how it works page breaks down each stage.
There's no van to hire and no unit to drive to for storage in Billingshurst — our fully managed, fully insured crew builds and seals your own wooden container at the door, then carries it the short A29 run to our alarmed Ashington warehouse, storage from £21 a week, with collection quoted separately upfront.
One sealed wooden container holds everything from your Billingshurst home — built and closed at your own front door, then taken the short A29 run to Ashington, where it stays under alarm for as long as the job needs.

Learn moreMoving house when the dates don’t quite line up, a renovation, a stalled chain or a short gap between tenancies rarely needs cover for more than a few weeks — billing tracks the calendar instead of a fixed contract, and winds up the day you move back in, not a week later.
Learn moreStoreroom space runs out well before shelf space does for shops and traders around the High Street and Jengers Mead — seasonal stock, files and kit move into a container off-site rather than eating into the sales floor.
Learn moreOne wardrobe that won’t fit up a Stane Street cottage staircase, one sofa that doesn’t suit the new estate lounge — single pieces like these are routine work for the crew, handled carefully and never left for you to wrestle with alone.
Learn moreYour furniture is blanket-wrapped for safe transit and carried by the crew on the day — they work through a Billingshurst home and leave with the container already built and sealed. By default you pack your own boxes; our packers are available as an optional extra.

Stane Street left more than just a name behind. The A29’s route through the village still bends and rises to follow the ground the Roman surveyors worked around, and the road’s original camber can still be traced in places underneath the modern tarmac. Roughly where that Roman line crosses the A272 is where the village grew up, and it’s stayed a crossing point ever since — the open station on the Arun Valley Line keeps that commuter character alive today rather than leaving it as history. Walk into the centre and the High Street sits inside a conservation area designated in 1973, timber-framed buildings faced in Horsham stone — a distinctive local sandstone split for roof tiles and cladding across this part of the county — among roughly 34 listed buildings in total. St Mary’s, the parish church, stands above it all on the sandstone hillock the village takes its name from, with Jengers Mead running as the village’s own shopping precinct just off the main street.
Billingshurst has grown fast around that old core: the population rose from 6,531 in 2001 to 8,232 in 2011, then to 9,127 by 2021 (census figures) — close to 40% growth across two decades — and 2016 brought approval for 550 new homes alongside improvements to the station itself. That leaves a village of two halves: a protected, timber-and-stone centre where little changes, and newer estates spreading out around it where people are moving in, moving up and moving on all the time. Both halves call us for the same reason — somewhere secure to put belongings while a move, a renovation or a downsize plays out.
Honest, simple pricing — from just £21 a week for storage and insurance, with collection and redelivery quoted separately upfront, in Billingshurst, fully insured, with no deposit. Need more room? We simply add another container, so you only pay for the space you use.

Get Your QuoteHere’s how ours works: the crew turns up at your RH14 door, builds and seals a private wooden container on the spot, then makes the A29 run to Ashington and back so you never have to. Billingshurst’s own steel-container yard runs the older way round — gates open on set hours, and once you’ve loaded and locked up, the key stays in your pocket until the rental ends.
| Wolves — managed storage | A self-storage unit | |
|---|---|---|
| Wooden container vs steel unit | The crew builds your container from timber, right there on the doorstep, and seals it before it ever leaves — no padlock, no key, nothing for you to hold onto. | The yard’s steel box is handed over empty; from that point loading it, securing it and keeping hold of the key are all down to you. |
| Loading — in your hands or ours | Point at what’s moving, from a High Street terrace or a new-build semi, and the crew carries every item out themselves. | A steel unit still starts with your own van and your own back — everything goes in box by box, carried by you. |
| Getting to the site | There’s no site on this side of the deal — wherever your RH14 address sits, High Street or village lane, that’s where the crew turns up. | The yard keeps its own gate hours, so a visit only happens if it fits around when someone’s there to let you in. |
| Getting your things back | A day’s notice is all it takes, and your container arrives back exactly where it left from, still sealed. | Getting anything home means a trip out to the yard, loading it yourself, then the drive back with it in the van. |
| Deposit | No Wolves quote has ever carried a deposit line. | Most container yards ask for one before handing over a key. |
| Insurance while moving | The first item the crew lifts at your door is already covered — that doesn’t change through the drive, the storage, or the return. | Cover on a self-loaded unit typically starts once it’s locked; the loading and the drive there are usually on you. |
| What you pay | £21 covers the container and its storage for the week — no deposit, no hidden storage add-ons, with collection quoted upfront as its own separate figure. | The unit’s rent is just the start; a van, the fuel and your own time on the road all get added on top. |
Each container holds 250 cu ft — think a single room stacked floor to ceiling, or roughly what clears a one-bedroom flat. From there it’s simple addition: more rooms, more containers, each one still £21 a week. Use the table below as a starting point for a Billingshurst home, then confirm the exact number with the crew on the day.
| 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 flat near the station and a house on one of the newer Billingshurst estates rarely land on the same row — whichever it turns out to be, you only pay for the containers actually packed and sealed. 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.
There’s no separate “in storage” policy to check the small print on: one cover note follows your belongings from the first item lifted at your Billingshurst door to the last box carried back in, whether that’s on the High Street or out at Wisborough Green. In between, every night at Ashington passes under alarm and CCTV.
It’s been the same family crew running Billingshurst collections for a decade now — LAPADA-accredited for antiques and heirlooms, Checkatrade-verified, and long past being thrown by a tight turn on the High Street or a half-finished road on one of the new estates.
£21 a week buys a container with insurance already included, and nothing is taken before the crew turns up — no deposit at all. Whether a chain stalls or a renovation drags on, that weekly figure holds exactly where it was.
Fifteen minutes up the A29 is all it takes for the crew to reach Billingshurst from Ashington — call it 7.7 miles, near enough the next milestone along the old Roman road. That’s not a special trip for us; it’s the regular one.
Four services run on the same wooden container and the same weekly rate. Short-term storage covers a gap between exchange and completion, long-term storage suits a downsize or a posting abroad with no fixed end date, furniture storage handles a piece or two that’s outgrown the new place, and business storage takes stock or paperwork off a shopfront near the High Street or Jengers Mead. Work out roughly how much space you’ll need first on our storage size guide.
We collect just as readily from the RH14 villages around Billingshurst as from the village itself — Wisborough Green, two miles west along the A272, Coneyhurst further along the same road, and Adversane, sitting right on the old Stane Street route to the south. Broadford Bridge, further south again, gets the same door-to-door service. See the full reach on areas we cover.
Billingshurst’s High Street was laid out for cartage, not container lorries: the timber-framed, Horsham-stone shopfronts that earned the 1973 conservation-area status crowd right up to the pavement edge, and Jengers Mead peels off behind as the village’s own shopping row. Ask the crew about collection day here and the answer’s simple — the van goes as far as a side turning allows, then boxes get shuttled up the street by hand for whatever’s left of the distance.
Further out, the picture changes completely. The 550 new homes approved in 2016, and the estates that have grown up around them as the population climbed past 9,000, are built for modern access — proper driveways, wider roads, room to park right outside. Whichever kind of address it is, old core or new estate, the same crew turns up with the same wooden container and packs it the same way.
The station sits close to both halves of the village, which is partly why so many Billingshurst moves involve a job in London or along the coast rather than a change of address a few streets over. We collect just as often from the RH14 villages around the edges — Wisborough Green, Coneyhurst and Adversane among them — running the same service out to each one.

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.
New-estate arrivals, chains stuck either side of the station, listed-cottage renovations, heirlooms that need proper care — whatever the reason a Billingshurst home calls us, one insured container covers it at £21 a week, with collection and redelivery quoted separately.
Around 550 new homes went up after 2016 alone, and moving into one rarely means everything from the old place fits straight away — we hold the overflow until there’s room or a decision made.
The container stays sealed and billed week by week for exactly the length of the gap, no more — which is what makes it useful when a sale and purchase along the commuter line refuse to complete on the same day. Once the keys to the next place are in hand, the storage stops.
Work on one of the roughly 34 listed buildings around the High Street or Jengers Mead often means clearing a room, or the whole house, before trades can start — we take it all off-site until the job’s done.
Every piece pulled from a period Billingshurst home or gathered up in a house clearance — furniture, china, anything passed down rather than picked up — gets padded, wrapped and logged individually by an accredited crew before it’s packed, not bundled in with the rest of the move.
Ashington is barely eight miles south of Billingshurst, about fifteen minutes down the A29 — the old Stane Street. Our crew makes that short run up to your RH14 door, builds and closes the container where it stands, and carries it back to the alarmed warehouse; the driving is always ours, never yours.
Across RH14 — the Billingshurst High Street, the newer estates, and the villages out on the A272 and Stane Street like Wisborough Green, Coneyhurst and Adversane — collection happens at the door, so there’s never a unit to find. A postcode is all the crew needs to set the whole thing going: pack, seal, the short A29 hop to Ashington, and the return trip whenever you’re ready.

Packing
The questions West Sussex customers ask us most.
You don’t lift a box or drive a mile. A crew comes to your RH14 address, loads everything into your own wooden container and seals it — and if you’d like, they can pack and wrap your belongings for you too, as an optional extra; that container then spends its time under alarm at our Ashington warehouse, a short A29 run away, and comes back to your door whenever you call for it.
One container costs a flat £21 a week, no deposit, and your insurance is included in that price; collection and redelivery are charged separately and quoted upfront. Tell the crew roughly what’s moving and both figures come back the same day.
Yes — alongside the village itself, we collect regularly from Wisborough Green, Coneyhurst, Adversane and Broadford Bridge, plus Barns Green just over the RH13 boundary. Same door-to-door service, same weekly rate, wherever the address sits.
Yes — there’s a local yard with its own steel shipping containers, the kind you load and visit yourself. What we run alongside that is different in kind: door-to-door collection into a private wooden container, packed and sealed before it’s driven off, so there’s no unit for you to get to at any point.
More than the material, put it that way. What we build is sealed by the crew before it’s ever moved — you’re not the one filling it, locking it or minding a key at any stage. A steel container from a yard flips that entirely: it’s handed to you empty, and everything after that — loading, securing, the key — is your job, not ours.
It is, right from the doorstep. There’s a single policy running underneath the whole job — collection, the drive to Ashington, every week in the warehouse, and the trip back — rather than one that only switches on once things are indoors.
No minimum term applies — billing runs week by week for as long as the container’s in use, and nothing carries on past the point you no longer need it. Give the crew 24 hours’ notice and it comes back sealed, just as it left.
Not far at all. The A29 covers the distance in about 7.7 miles and roughly a quarter of an hour, which puts Ashington closer to Billingshurst than to almost anywhere else we collect from. That said, the crew still does the driving both ways — you’re never the one making the trip.
