FAQs

Common questions

Can’t see yours? Call or WhatsApp and ask us directly.

Are my things insured?

Yes. Both our Folkestone and Dover sites are fully insured.

Why crates rather than a container?

Crates at Folkestone suit a move because we do the packing and the sealing, and there is nothing for you to load or unlock. A container at Dover suits a big house, business stock, or anyone who wants to get to their things whenever they like.

Is there a minimum term or notice period?

Storage is paid monthly in advance by bank transfer. You can stay for one month or longer. If you leave during a paid month, unused days are not refunded.

Can you collect my things for me?

Yes, that’s how crates work. Our movers pack and seal each crate at your door, take them to Folkestone, and bring them back when you’re ready.

What can’t I store?

Nothing hazardous. No food, no fuel and nothing flammable. [Full list to follow from Jamie’s terms]

Will my things stay dry?

Yes. Crates are sealed at your door and kept inside our warehouse at Folkestone.

How do I pay?

By bank transfer only, with one month paid in advance.
