Self Storage and Container Storage

Storage

Self Storage

Self storage is a flexible and secure solution that allows individuals or businesses to rent a storage unit within a larger facility. These units are typically located indoors, often within purpose-built warehouses, and offer various sizes to suit different needs. Customers can access their unit during the facility’s opening hours, and many sites provide added benefits such as climate control, 24/7 CCTV monitoring, and individual unit alarms.

Self storage is ideal for those who need regular access to their belongings or want additional features such as lighting, shelving, or dry indoor conditions. It’s commonly used by homeowners during a house move or renovation, students needing term-time storage, and businesses looking for secure document or stock storage without long-term contracts.

Container Storage

Container storage involves placing goods in a shipping container, usually located on a secure outdoor site. These containers are made from durable steel and are designed to withstand the elements, making them ideal for long-term or weather-resistant storage. Access is typically granted via an on-site gate system, and customers often have the ability to drive directly up to their container for ease of loading and unloading.

This type of storage is particularly popular with tradespeople, small businesses, and those storing large or bulky items such as tools, furniture, or stock. It offers a cost-effective and practical alternative for customers who may not need climate-controlled conditions or indoor facilities but require easy, secure access to their possessions.

What to Consider When Choosing a Removals Company

Moving house or relocating a business is a significant milestone — one that comes with its fair share of stress and logistics. Choosing the right removals company can make all the difference. Whether you're moving around the corner or across the country, it’s worth taking the time to consider your options carefully. Here’s what to look out for.

1. Experience and Reputation

Look for a company with a proven track record. An experienced team will know how to handle everything from delicate heirlooms to bulky furniture with care and professionalism. It’s also worth checking independent reviews and asking around for personal recommendations.

2. Insurance and Peace of Mind

Even with the most careful handling, accidents can happen. A premium removals service will offer comprehensive insurance cover, giving you peace of mind that your belongings are protected throughout the move.

3. Trained, Uniformed Staff

The best companies invest in their team. You should expect fully trained, uniformed staff who treat your property with respect. Professionalism at this level isn’t just about appearance — it translates into safer handling, smoother communication, and fewer surprises on the day.

4. Quality of Equipment

From clean, well-maintained vehicles to padded blankets, stair protectors, and specialist lifting gear — premium removals services are equipped for every eventuality. It’s these small details that protect your belongings and property during loading and unloading.

5. Clear, Written Quotes

A reputable company will offer transparent pricing with no hidden extras. They’ll take the time to assess your needs properly, either via a home visit or detailed video survey, and provide a written quotation outlining exactly what’s included.

6. Additional Services

Many premium companies offer added extras that can be invaluable — such as professional packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, temporary storage solutions, and even cleaning services. These options can take the pressure off your shoulders and give you time to focus on settling in.

7. Industry Accreditations

For added peace of mind, choose a company that is a member of a recognised trade body. Goodwins Removals & Storage is proud to be a member of the British Association of Removers (BAR), which sets the benchmark for professional standards and customer care in the removals industry. BAR members are regularly audited and operate under a strict Code of Practice approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute.

Why Premium Services Make a Difference

While there are plenty of options out there for those on a tight budget, it’s worth remembering that removals is not just about shifting boxes from A to B. A well-organised move, delivered by a professional team, can save you time, reduce risk, and remove a huge amount of stress from the process.

By choosing a premium removals company, you're investing in a service that’s reliable, attentive, and tailored to your needs. You’re also choosing to protect your possessions, your time, and your peace of mind. And when the big day comes, those are things worth investing in.
