What size storage unit do I need?

With heaps of storage options out there, it’s no surprise why sorting this stuff can get confusing.  

Our storage units come in a wide variety of sizes, so whether you’re moving out of shared accommodation, storing the contents of your apartment, or just looking for a bit of extra space, we’ve got a unit just for you. 

Everybody’s situation is different, so check out our storage unit volume calculator or contact our team for help choosing your unit. We’ll recommend the best one for your needs. Once you’ve booked, one of our team will arrange a video survey to make sure your unit is the best size for your stuff.
