Have you always wanted to start or develop your business and need somewhere to store stock? Maybe you’ve made the decision to travel the world and need a safe space long-term to keep your possessions. Perhaps you’re set on de-cluttering your home and need a little extra space in the process.
Whatever your reason, it’s important to ensure that you choose the right type of storage for your needs. It can be a minefield deciding on what type of storage you need and at what size, but also deciding on how long for and at what cost.
Here at Container Self Storage, we specialise in providing affordable container storage and at a range of sizes to suit your needs. To help you, we’ve outlined some key points to consider and our top tips for choosing container storage below!
It’s All About Location, Location, Location
It’s a good idea to choose a company that has good access to main roads and bonus points if it’s near a station. The reason for this is that the location should be easy to get to, regardless of how you get there.
There’s no point choosing a cheap place to store your belongings, but then find out it’s located in the middle of nowhere and you can’t get there easily! This is especially applicable if you need to access your belongings in the future and plan to travel by train.
Container Self Storage is situated in an easily accessible location, a 2-3 minute drive away from the A13 and within easy reach of Dagenham Dock station.
Check for Cleanliness
A clean and dry storage unit is essential! Check the unit carefully and examine it for any signs of damp or dirty floors. You don’t want to put your stuff in somewhere that isn’t dry or clean! The containers at Container Self Storage have a clean concrete floor and are completely weatherproof. This means your belongings will stay completely dry and clean throughout the entire duration of your storage term.

The great thing about storing your belongings with us at Container Self Storage is that you are able to access them whenever you need to! We’ll give you a unique pin which can be used to access your container 24/7 – any time of day or night. Easy peasy!
Is Your Storage Safe and Secure?

How Long Do You Need Storage For? Is it Affordable?
Think about how long you will be required the storage for and what will the costs be? Are you likely to need it for a longer period of time than originally planned? Although you may not know for sure at this time how long you will need the storage for, it is worth keeping these questions in mind.
