Container and Vehicle storage Questions

Once you have hired a container or storage space you can come and go as you please, 24 hours a day 7 days a week, using your own gate fob and our automated gated entry system.

The minimum hire period is one month.

Your hire agreement expressly excludes you running your business from a container or open space.  Although you can obviously store stock, tools, equipment etc within the container, you cannot work at or in the container, or use the Stirling Storage Solutions site as your trading address.

You can come and go as you require to collect your work tools drop of materials and pick them up at your convenience, so tradesmen such a plumbers, electricians, builders and gardeners can use the storage container/space as a base without any difficulties.

You cannot store quantities of dangerous materials or waste such as:

Commonly combustible materials

• Petrol, fuel, oil or solvents
• Firearms or explosives
• Chemicals or toxic waste
• Asbestos
• Any items that omit any fumes, smell or odour
• Any illegal substances
• Compressed gas
• Any animals or living creatures
• Foodstuff that are likely to attract vermin

This list is not exhaustive.  If you have any doubt please contact us if what you want to store is allowed.

We strongly recommend that you insure the goods you are storing with us in the storage containers.  We offer an insurance policy priced at £4.00 per month per £1000 worth of stored goods.  Policy Terms & Conditions are provided when completing the paperwork for your container and upon request.

All vehicles stored must be insured, it is your responsibility to ensure that the appropriate insurance is arranged and maintained throughout your storage term.  Vehicles includes but is not limited to boats, cars, caravans, horseboxes, lorries, motorhomes, trailers, and vans.

Stirling Storage Solutions Ltd holds no liability for loss or damage to vehicles, they are stored solely at your own risk.

You are responsible for returning the container or open space to us as it was when you hired it; namely clean, empty and undamaged internally.

We also insist that you do not leave any of your stored goods on site after the hire agreement ends.   We will surcharge you if we need to clean out your store or remove your discarded items from site.

It is also your responsibility for the safety of your store keys and gate fob.  If you cannot return these to us, you will forfeit your deposit and incur additional cost to have the lock removed.

Yes.  All of our containers are brand new and purchased specifically for storage and are 100% watertight.

No - all of our containers are all brand new.  If items are dry when stored, no condensation will occur.  Because the containers are unheated, the inside temperature will rise and fall in line with the external temperature.

If any items are damp or have water within them, this could cause condensation as the temperature fluctuates.  This can be easily avoided by ensuring all items are dry when stored.

If you require advise on any specific items to be stored, get in touch, we're more than happy to advise.  We can supply Absorpole's which can help absorb moisture from the air.
