Self Storage recommendations?
« on: 17 July 2012, 18:57 »
Starting my course on the 30th of this month in Fareham, Hants. Gonna be there for over 2 years. We turned down the first offer for Married Quarters, as it was in Rowner, Gosport.  :sick: We need to get our house on the rental market asap, so been thinking about putting stuff into storage for a month or two maybe, and the missus moving in with the Mother in Law until they come back to us with another offer. No idea how long it'll be, as we're now at the back of the refusal queue.

Anyone put stuff in storage, and have any recommends, the cheaper the better please!?

 :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: thats cheap

I did when the RAF squeezed us into a 3 bed house with 4 kids

FOOKING pricey, even the old shipping container places  :sick:

I would try anything else you can before choosing this option - it will cost you a packet

Have already tried it, and came up with a couple. I've done the online quote thing, and now waiting for replies. Around £50 A WEEK for the normal national companies though.  :shocked: :sick:

We use shipping containers at work to store equipment. Costs approx 9 pound a week to hire one! If you have a mate with a business or land ask if they don't mind having one for a few months.  :smiley:

No big yellow anywhere around here Wazzer, T_G_J, where was that?

Struggling to find containers, only managed to find one, and that was £25 pw. Best storage depot I've found is £25 pw as well. Looking for minimum of 100 sq ft.
