Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex — a working port town on the Adur estuary, with tight old-town streets and Beach roads where kerb space is scarce. We collect from your BN43 door, wrap and seal the lot into a wooden container of your own, and keep it dry inland at our alarmed Ashington warehouse — £21 a week for storage and insurance, no deposit, collection quoted upfront and separately.

Weekly storage prices for Shoreham-by-Sea — insurance included, no deposit.
We’ll show exactly how full your container is — no rounding up.
Finding anywhere legal to leave a van on the High Street or East Street in Shoreham’s old town takes patience, and the plots out on Shoreham Beach are just as unforgiving — built for a single car, with nothing to spare for a removals lorry. Our crew arrives at your BN43 door, cushions your furniture in blankets and stacks it aboard room by room, then builds and closes up your own wooden container right there, sealing it on the spot before anything moves — no hired van to load yourself, and no circling the block hunting for somewhere to stop. The full run-through — first phone call to the container landing back on your step — is laid out on how it works.
From your door the sealed container heads up the A283 and A24 to our alarmed Ashington warehouse, roughly nine miles inland, where it’s kept dry, under CCTV and fully insured for however long you need it. One container costs a flat £21 a week with no deposit — the pricing page has the full breakdown, and the storage size guide gives a rough steer on how many containers a job like yours will need.
Shoreham-by-Sea's estuary streets and Beach plots leave almost nowhere for a removals van to park, so our crew comes to your door instead: a fully managed, fully insured service that seals your belongings into your own wooden container on the doorstep and stores it dry at our alarmed Ashington warehouse — £21 a week, collection quoted separately upfront.
The crew builds your own wooden container on-site — outside a flat off East Street or up a tight Beach driveway — seals it in front of you, then drives it inland where it sits dry and alarmed at Ashington, never shared with anyone else’s belongings and never left standing anywhere near the water.
Learn moreA downsize out of a period Beach house, or a wait for the right retirement flat inland, rarely runs to anyone’s timetable — the container simply stays booked until things settle, and the weekly figure never creeps up from where it started.
Learn moreCover the gap while a renovation on an old-town terrace overruns, a Southwick tenancy turns over, or a chain between a sale and a completion slips out of sync — the invoice simply follows the calendar, and it stops the moment you’re back in.
Learn moreTraders and small operators near the port leave stock, tools or paperwork with us to keep off-site, which claws back the square footage that’s in such short supply this close to the water.
Learn moreAntique furniture, artwork and family pieces cleared from a period old-town home or a Beach house are blanket-wrapped and logged to LAPADA-accredited standards — treated the way a specialist would handle them, not as ordinary house-clearance stock.
Learn moreThe crew turns up fully equipped to wrap and load, working through the property methodically, whether that’s a flat in the centre, a house out toward Old Shoreham or a place across the water in Southwick, sealing the container before it ever leaves — none of the lifting lands on you.

Shoreham-by-Sea sits where the River Adur meets the Channel, and that estuary shapes almost everything about it. A working commercial port still operates at the river mouth, and moored houseboats — converted barges, tugs and even old minesweepers — line stretches of the Adur. Out on the shingle spit south of the centre, Shoreham Beach began as ‘Bungalow Town’, where early-1900s railway carriages were hauled onto the shingle and turned into seaside homes. Today the Beach is built up with individually designed houses on tight plots — a world away from the old town around the High Street and East Street. There, Norman-built St Mary de Haura — raised in the decade after 1103, once cathedral-scale before roughly half of it was lost — still stands near Ropetackle Arts Centre on the riverbank.
A port and estuary town like this, hemmed in by water on two sides and built up tightly on both the old town and the Beach, rarely leaves much spare room for storage. Flats near the centre go without a garage or loft, and period cottages off the High Street empty out further than a smaller retirement home can hold. A chain between a sale and a completion doesn’t always land on the same date, and a renovation on a Beach bungalow or an old-town terrace needs somewhere for the contents to go while the work’s under way. None of that suits a unit you have to find, drive to and unload yourself — it calls for a service that collects from a tight doorstep and takes the packing off your hands too.
Honest, simple pricing — from just £21 a week for storage and insurance, with collection and redelivery quoted separately upfront, in Shoreham-by-Sea, fully insured, with no deposit. Need more room? We simply add another container, so you only pay for the space you use.

Get Your QuoteShoreham already has real self-storage — drive-up units, and at least one yard where you load and lock your own steel shipping container. Wolves runs a different model entirely: call us, and it’s our own crew building and closing up a private wooden container right there on your BN43 step, then driving it inland to Ashington on your behalf — no hire van, no loading, no key to keep track of.
| Wolves — managed storage | A self-storage unit | |
|---|---|---|
| Wooden container vs steel unit | Everything you own goes into a private wooden container the crew builds and closes up right on your doorstep — not a steel box you fill, lock and keep the key to. | A steel container or drive-up unit still means loading it yourself, then holding onto that key for as long as you’re renting. |
| Who drives & lifts | Show the crew what’s moving and they carry it out from wherever it’s sitting, whether that’s an old-town flat or a Beach bungalow — you don’t lift a thing. | Sourcing your own van and carrying everything out by hand, room by room, is how a drive-up unit or steel container works. |
| Parking on collection day | A narrow turning on the Beach or a restricted stretch of the High Street changes nothing — the van stops wherever it’s allowed and the crew does the rest on foot. | Squeezing a hired van onto a Beach plot, or finding anywhere it can legally wait near the old town, is a problem nobody else solves for you. |
| Getting your things back | Ring us, and within a day the sealed container is sitting back outside your Shoreham home. | Book a visit, drive out to the site, load the unit by hand, then drive home again. |
| Deposit | We have never asked a customer for a deposit, on any quote or booking. | Plenty of self-storage sites and container yards want a deposit settled before a key ever gets handed over. |
| Insurance while moving | Your belongings are insured from the second the crew touches them at your door, right through to the moment they’re back. | Cover on most units and steel containers only begins once your things are already inside — the move itself isn’t protected. |
| What you pay | £21 is the storage bill for the week — no deposit and nothing added to it later, with collection quoted upfront as its own separate charge. | The weekly rent printed on a self-storage listing is rarely the full story; van hire, fuel and your own hours on the road all get added after that. |
A studio flat tucked above a shop on East Street and a five-bedroom house out toward Old Shoreham need very different amounts of space — the table below is a fair starting point, and the crew will confirm the exact figure once they’ve seen what’s actually coming out of the property.
| 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 |
Beach plots don’t always match their footprint — a bungalow on a tight corner, or a terrace off the High Street with a steep, narrow staircase, can slow the pack down without changing how many containers actually get filled. If a Shoreham job runs to one more container than the table suggests, or one less, you’re only ever charged for what’s genuinely loaded. 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.
Cover runs unbroken end to end: it starts the second the crew reaches your Shoreham address, holds the whole time the container is stored under alarm and camera at Ashington, and is still in force as everything is carried back off the shingle to your door.
Since 2016 it’s been one family crew working Shoreham’s old-town terraces, Beach bungalows and Southwick semis — LAPADA-accredited for antiques and heirlooms, Checkatrade-verified, and familiar enough with an awkward turning circle that it never slows the job down.
One container runs at a flat £21 a week, insurance already folded into that figure and nothing asked for upfront — a slipped completion date or a Beach renovation that overruns changes none of it.
Nine miles inland, up the A283 and A24, is where our Ashington base sits — distant enough that we’re not competing for a spot on Shoreham’s high street, but close enough that the same crew is on your doorstep for the collection and back again for the carry-down from the old town or off the Beach.
Each service lines up with a different Shoreham situation: short-term storage for a renovation on a Beach bungalow or the gap between one tenancy and the next, long-term storage for a downsize that’s taking its time to settle, furniture storage for antiques and heirlooms that need proper wrapping, and business storage for traders near the port needing stock or paperwork kept off-site.
We collect just as readily across the port in Southwick as we do around the old town, and reach out to Kingston Buci, Old Shoreham and Mill Hill, on toward Lancing, without any bother. Everywhere we serve sits on areas we cover, and the size guide gives a fast steer on container numbers before you even call.
East Street and the High Street form the spine of Shoreham’s old town, a run of independent shops and Georgian-fronted buildings a short walk from Ropetackle Arts Centre on the riverbank. The terraces and cottages behind them went up generations before anyone owned a car, so on collection day the van typically parks on a nearby side street while the team simply walks each item the remaining distance by hand.
Cross the river and Shoreham Beach is a different kind of tight altogether — a shingle spit of individually built houses on plots that were never meant to take more than a single car. Its roads started life as tracks between converted railway carriages, back when the area was known as Bungalow Town. Reaching a Beach address has less to do with distance than with patience over a narrow turning circle.
Southwick, across the port from the old town, mixes its own Victorian terraces with newer estate housing, and we collect there just as often as we do off the High Street or out on the Beach. Wherever the address, the same wooden container gets built and sealed on the doorstep, LAPADA-accredited handling included for anything fragile, before it heads 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.
Whether it’s a downsize, a chain gap, a flat with no loft or heirlooms off a Beach house, we collect it from your Shoreham door and keep it dry inland — one insured container, £21 a week, with collection and redelivery quoted separately.
A smaller inland flat rarely holds everything from a Shoreham Beach house or a period old-town cottage — we collect whatever the new place can’t hold and keep it safe until there’s a plan for it.
Sales and purchases in a chain almost never complete on the same date — when they don’t, your Shoreham home’s contents stay sealed in the container until the keys to the next place are actually in your hand, charged week by week and settled in full the moment you move in.
Old-town and Southwick flats rarely come with a loft or a garage — we take the overflow off your hands and store it inland instead of it filling a hallway or a spare room.
Furniture and family pieces cleared from a period Shoreham home get LAPADA-accredited wrapping and handling, treated with the same seriousness a specialist auction house would apply.
Our alarmed warehouse is about nine miles inland at Ashington, West Sussex (RH20 3JT). A crew drives down to the coast, loads and seals your container at the doorstep — old town, Beach or Southwick alike — then carries it back inland to the warehouse.
Collection runs across the whole of BN43 — the old town, the Beach on its shingle spit, and Southwick over on the far side of the port. Nothing gets driven to a unit: give the crew a postcode, they load and seal at the kerb, run the container up to Ashington, and set it back on your doorstep the day you ask for it.

The questions West Sussex customers ask us most.
You book a slot, and on the day our crew collects from your BN43 doorstep, blanket-wraps and pads every item before lifting it aboard, then builds and seals your own wooden container before it leaves the property. From there it travels inland to our Ashington warehouse, where it sits dry and under alarm for however long the job requires, before coming back to your door whenever you’re ready.
One container costs a flat £21 a week for storage and insurance, with no deposit; collection and redelivery are priced separately, upfront. Tell us roughly what’s moving and we’ll have a fixed weekly figure back to you the same day.
Yes — we cover the whole of BN43, from East Street and the High Street in the old town, over the port into Southwick, and out onto Shoreham Beach itself. A tight turning or limited parking on the Beach doesn’t slow anything down; the crew simply finishes the last stretch on foot, carrying everything by hand.
There’s a real difference. What we bring is a private wooden container, built and sealed at your kerb by the crew — you never load it, lock it or hold a key to it. A steel unit, by contrast, is something you fill yourself and keep secured until you’re ready to empty it. Ours travels inland to Ashington and comes back to your door whenever you ask.
Household furniture, boxed belongings, antiques, business stock and paperwork are all covered — your furniture is wrapped in blankets and loaded into your own container by the crew — you pack your own boxes, or add our packing service as a paid extra.
Yes — your belongings are covered from the second the crew picks anything up at your door, all the way through transit, storage and redelivery. Cover doesn’t wait until things reach the warehouse before it kicks in.
There’s nothing to sign up to and no minimum term — the container is billed week by week for exactly as long as you’re using it. Let us know a day ahead of when you want it back, and your sealed container is redelivered straight to your door.
Our warehouse is in Ashington, about nine miles inland from the coast up the A283 and A24. It’s far enough that we’re not trying to compete for a spot on the high street, but close enough that the crew is still on your doorstep quickly for both collection and redelivery.
