Self Storage in Portsmouth

For anyone entering the City of Portsmouth by the M275, or anyone who’s been to the ferry port this year, you may have noticed a great big new orange building by the end of the motorway.  It’s right by the ferry port by the road to Whale Island.  It’s hard to miss, although he building was there and trading before the name went up - in big letters - to make it quite clear that it was a new Lok’nStore self storage centre.

This centre replaced the previous building in Norway Road across the other sideof the City.

The new buiding has fantastic facilities including three easy to use goods and passenger lifts.

As well as storage, the centre offers boxes, bubble wrap and packing items for sale.

Self storage is a service designed to offer secure, low cost and accessible ‘do it yourself’ storage for households and businesses usually on a flexible 4 weekly basis. Customers ‘hire’ fully enclosed, self-contained storage units for their exclusive use. Unlike traditional containerised storage facilities, that charge customers every time they want to access their possessions, self storage enables them to access their possessions free of charge whenever they choose. As the only key holder to their unit, they can come and go freely during business hours and leave their possessions safe in the knowledge that no one else can access them. The units are constructed of steel and are clean, dry and completely secure.

Self storage is a relatively new concept in the UK, although it has been well established in the US for some time. It is a rapidly growing industry - more and more people are turning to it as they find they have too many possessions and too little space in which to fit them.

Lok’nStore is one of the leading self storage companies in the UK having opened its first centre in 1995.

It has been listed on the Alternative Investment Market since June 2000.

The company has 21 self storage centres across the south east or England, providing steel storage units, pallet or open storage, contract parking and offices to business and household customers.

The company has 725,000 sq ft of storage space available in sizes from 12 sq ft to 10,000sq.ft. The company’s 4,500 customers range from householders to small businesses to government and charitable organisations to some of the largest national and multi-national.
