We’ll show exactly how full your container is — no rounding up.
Rustington sits on the coast, roughly midway between Chichester and Brighton, while our warehouse is set well back from the sea at Ashington — getting between the two is down to us, not something you need to plan around. Whether home is a bungalow near the village centre, a flat off Sea Lane or a cottage tucked behind The Street, a crew simply turns up at that address — no van to book, and no industrial estate unit to go looking for.
Everything is packed, wrapped and sealed into your own container before it ever leaves your street, then kept dry and alarmed in our Ashington warehouse until you call for it back. See exactly how it works or check our honest pricing — storage from £21 a week, no deposit — collection quoted separately.
The trip inland to Ashington is ours to make, not yours: your belongings go straight from a BN16 doorstep into a private wooden container, sealed and driven back to our alarmed warehouse the same day. It's fully managed and fully insured storage from £21 a week, collection quoted separately, covering Rustington alongside Littlehampton and Arundel.
Your belongings go into a single private wooden container, sealed shut on your own Rustington doorstep before it ever leaves, then held under alarm at our Ashington base for however long you’re without the space at home.
Learn moreMoving into a bungalow or a retirement flat doesn’t happen on a fixed date, and neither does deciding what actually fits once you’re there — the container stays booked for as long as that takes, and billing ends the week you tell us you’re done.
Learn moreA stalled chain, an unfinished renovation or a gap between tenancies each run their own length of time, and the container simply matches it — pay week by week for as long as the delay lasts, then nothing further once you’ve moved back in.
Learn moreTraders along The Street and Claigmar Road tend to have less shelf room than they have stock — a container takes the overflow, whether that’s paperwork, seasonal lines or spare kit, without paying rent on a unit that’s rarely full.
Learn moreFlint cottages weren’t built with modern furniture in mind — a sofa that won’t turn through a narrow doorway, or a wardrobe too awkward for one pair of hands, gets padded and carried out by the crew as a matter of course, not something you’re left to wrestle with yourself.
Learn moreThe heavy lifting isn’t down to you — the crew blanket-wraps your furniture for safe transit, loads the Rustington collection, and has the container closed up before they head off. By default you pack your own boxes; we can pack for you as an optional extra.

Rustington’s median age has been put at 56 — reported, based on 2021 Census analysis, as the highest of any English town of its size (20,000–74,999 residents) outside London. West Sussex County Council’s own needs assessment goes further, naming the wards of Rustington East, Rustington West, East Preston with Kingston and Ferring specifically as places where more than half the population is 65 or over. That isn’t a fact borrowed from somewhere else — it’s Rustington’s own.
In practice, that means a village full of people moving out of a family house and into a bungalow or a retirement flat, usually with far less spare room than the last address had. Furniture that won’t fit through the new door doesn’t have to be sold in a hurry or left in a garage — we collect it, seal it into your own container, and hold it inland for however long it takes to decide what happens next.
Honest, simple pricing — from just £21 a week for storage and insurance, with collection and redelivery quoted separately upfront, in Rustington, fully insured, with no deposit. Need more room? We simply add another container, so you only pay for the space you use.

Get Your QuoteThere is self-storage already in Rustington, sitting on an industrial estate at the edge of the village — real enough, but it still runs on the same basic deal as everywhere else: you find a van, you load it, you drive there, and eventually you drive back to empty it again. Wolves works from the opposite direction. Get in touch, and it’s a Wolves crew standing on your BN16 doorstep, building and sealing your own container in front of you, before taking it inland themselves — nothing for you to hire, load or drive at any stage.
| Wolves — managed storage | A self-storage unit | |
|---|---|---|
| Who drives & lifts | Point to what’s going and the crew lifts it — nothing passes through your hands from the first item to the last. | Sourcing a van and doing every lift yourself, start to finish, is simply how self-storage works. |
| Packing & wrapping | The crew blanket-wraps and loads your furniture, then builds and closes up your container right there before they leave — you pack your belongings, unless you would rather pay for our packing service. | You’ll need to find your own materials first, then pack everything by hand while the unit’s still standing empty. |
| Getting to The Street or a cottage doorway | A tight spot on The Street or Claigmar Road doesn’t change anything — the van sits wherever’s legal and the crew covers the rest carrying by hand. | Working out where a hired van can even wait near The Street without holding up traffic is left to you. |
| Getting your things back | A phone call is all it takes — your container comes off the Ashington shelf and is back on your BN16 drive within a day. | Book a van, drive out to collect, load it up, then make the same trip home in reverse. |
| Deposit | Not one Wolves quote, booking or invoice has ever asked for a deposit. | Most self-storage sites want a deposit settled up front, before a key ever changes hands. |
| Insurance while moving | Ashington cover doesn’t wait for storage to begin — it’s active from the first item the crew touches at your Rustington address, straight through to the day everything’s handed back. | Cover on most self-storage policies doesn’t switch on until the unit door is already shut behind your things — everything before that point is a risk you’re carrying alone. |
| What you pay | £21 covers one container for a week of storage, no deposit — nothing hidden shows up on the invoice later, with collection quoted upfront as its own separate figure. | Renting the unit is just step one; hiring transport, covering the fuel and losing an afternoon to driving all get tacked on afterwards. |
How many containers does a Rustington move actually take? It comes down to what’s leaving the property, not the size of the container itself — every one of them holds the same fixed 250 cu ft, whether it’s coming out of a one-bedroom retirement flat or a five-bedroom house near Mewsbrook Park. Use the table below as a starting point; the crew settles on the final number once they’re actually loading.
| 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 |
The table is a planning tool, not a guarantee — a downsize doesn’t always shed possessions at the same pace as it sheds square footage. Should the Rustington job need an extra container beyond what’s suggested, or come in under it, the final price simply tracks whatever the crew actually loads that day. 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.
What people usually worry about isn’t the weeks spent in the warehouse, it’s the two doorsteps either side of it. Neither one is a gap: cover is live before the first item leaves a Rustington address, it carries on through every night the container spends under alarm and camera watch out at Ashington, and it hasn’t lapsed by the time everything’s parked back in BN16.
LAPADA-accredited and Checkatrade-verified, and not a job passed to whoever’s free that morning: the same locally based crew has known The Street, the flint cottages behind it and the quieter roads out toward Sea Lane and Mewsbrook Park since 2016.
£21 covers a container for the week, with insurance included rather than charged separately — nothing changes hands before the crew arrives. A downsize into a smaller place rarely runs to a fixed date, so if the right bungalow or retirement flat takes longer to find than planned, the weekly rate doesn’t move while you wait it out.
Nobody clearing a family home for a bungalow or a retirement flat should have to add a van hire to that list, so getting to Rustington, wherever in the village that turns out to be, sits on us. The crew comes to the door; you’re not the one driving anywhere.
There’s no single reason someone in Rustington gets in touch. A gap between one completion and the next is covered by short-term storage; still deciding what happens next points toward long-term storage; clearing a house from top to bottom is what furniture storage is built for; and a trader on The Street running low on shelf space reaches for business storage. Four different situations, the same container either way.
The same crew already works Littlehampton and Worthing on either side of Rustington, plus Angmering and East Preston in between — see the areas we cover for the wider picture, or use the storage size guide to put a rough number of containers on your own move before you call.
Rustington’s village centre runs along The Street, Claigmar Road and Church Road, home to more than eighty independent shops, cafés and businesses within easy walking distance of most of the village. It’s a proper working high street rather than a retail park, which is part of why so many residents choose to stay local rather than move away as their needs change.
Behind the shopfronts, a Conservation Area running from North Lane down to The Lamb on The Street protects a run of 17th- and 18th-century Sussex flint cottages, alongside the much older St Peter and St Paul church — built in phases between the 12th and 15th centuries, its 1860 gates reputedly made from roof timbers close to a thousand years old. Mill Lane, a little further along, still carries the name of a windmill that no longer stands — one more layer of a village that has clearly been lived in for a very long time.
Around that historic core, the housing is a genuine mix — flint cottages, bungalows built for retirement, sheltered and later-life developments, and newer estate housing further out toward Mewsbrook Park on the Littlehampton border. None of it was built with a spare room for a lifetime’s furniture in mind, which is exactly the gap our collect-and-store service fills.
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.
Bungalow downsizes, later-life moves handled at the family’s own pace and clearances that need patience rather than speed — Rustington’s work goes into one insured container at £21 a week, with collection and redelivery quoted separately.
A bungalow rarely swallows a whole family home’s worth of furniture — we collect what won’t fit through the smaller door and store it until there’s a plan for it.
Probate clearances near the village centre often move at a family’s pace, not a fixed deadline — we load the house into containers and hold everything until you’re ready.
Buyers viewing a flint cottage in the Conservation Area want to see space, not a lifetime of belongings — we clear what’s in the way into a sealed container until the sale completes.
A flint cottage or an older village house rarely takes kindly to a kitchen or loft job finishing on schedule. Clear the rooms being worked on into a sealed container before the trades start, and they’re working around bare walls, not stepping over your furniture.
Rustington sits on the coast, roughly midway between Chichester and Brighton, while our warehouse sits well back from the sea at Ashington — a proper inland trip each way, not a local hop. Getting between the two is down to us: the crew drives out to your BN16 doorstep, builds and seals the container there and then, and makes the same run back to Ashington, so the distance is never something you have to plan around.
We collect right across the BN16 postcode area, Rustington itself and the surrounding villages — there’s no self-storage unit to drive to. Just share your postcode when you enquire, and our family team loads, seals and stores your belongings, then redelivers back to your Rustington door on 24 hours’ notice.

Managed vs self-storage
Protecting belongings
Moving home
The questions West Sussex customers ask us most.
Yes — we collect, store and redeliver right across BN16, from the village centre and Sea Lane out to East Preston, Angmering and Ferring. Wherever you are, it’s the same door-to-door service: we collect and seal at your home, then bring everything back whenever you ask.
Yes — there is self-storage in the town, on an industrial estate you’d need to drive to. We’re a different, fully managed model: our crew collects from your door, loads and seals your own container there and then, and takes it inland to our alarmed Ashington warehouse — so you never drive to a unit or lift a box yourself.
None of those, technically. This is your own private sealed wooden container, 250 cu ft, packed and looked after by us throughout — not a steel drive-up container on an industrial estate, and not a shipping container dropped at your site for hire. You never need to visit anywhere; that’s the whole point.
From £21 a week per container, with no deposit and no hidden fees. Full packing is a paid extra you can add, while collection and redelivery cost extra and are quoted in advance, once we know roughly what’s moving — your free quote is confirmed within 24 hours.
Tell us what’s coming with you and what isn’t, and we collect, wrap and seal the rest into as many containers as it takes. There’s no fixed term and no lifting for you to do, so the decision about what to keep can happen at your own pace.
No — because your belongings are sealed inside your own container in our Ashington warehouse rather than a unit you can walk into, we don’t offer drop-in access. Instead, tell us what you need and when, and we redeliver on 24 hours’ notice.
It can, over time, if things are left in a garage or shed near the front — salt-laden air is a known risk to wood, fabric and metal. We avoid that altogether: your container travels inland to our dry, alarmed Ashington warehouse instead, under 24/7 CCTV, until you want it back.
Rustington has the highest median age of any English town its size outside London (2021 Census analysis), and downsizing into a bungalow or retirement flat is one of the most common reasons we’re called here. We collect the furniture you’re not ready to let go of, seal it into your own container, and hold it for as long as you need — so nothing has to be sold off in a rush just because the new place is smaller.
