FAQs

We provide a choice of indoor and outdoor self storage options for individuals, families, businesses and tradespeople.

Our storage solutions include secure indoor storage units and lockers, as well as drive-up outdoor storage containers. This means you can choose an option based on what you are storing, how much space you require and how frequently you expect to access your belongings.

We can help with storage for:

• Household Furniture and Possessions
• Moving House
• Business Stock
• Tools and Equipment
• Office Furniture
• Documents and Archives
• Seasonal Items
• Student Belongings
• Long-Term Storage
• Short-Term Storage

Our self storage facility is located at Inveralmond Road, Inveralmond Industrial Estate, Perth, PH1 3TW.

The location makes our facility convenient for customers travelling from Perth itself as well as surrounding towns and communities.

If you are unsure how to find us or would like to discuss storage before visiting, call our team on 01738 632879.

Our indoor storage units range from approximately 4 sq ft up to 140 sq ft, giving you a wide choice of storage spaces.

A small unit can be useful for boxes, documents, luggage and personal belongings, while larger units can accommodate furniture, household contents, commercial stock and equipment.

Choosing the right unit can also prevent you from paying for significantly more space than you need. Tell our team what you are planning to store and we can help you work out an appropriate unit size.

Yes. Self storage can be extremely useful when moving house, particularly when completion dates do not line up or you need to temporarily reduce the amount of furniture being moved.

You can move possessions into storage before moving day and retrieve them when your new property is ready.

Storage may also be useful when:

• Selling Your Home
• Waiting for a Property Purchase to Complete
• Moving Between Rental Properties
• Downsizing
• Renovating a New Property
• Temporarily Relocating

Using storage gives you more flexibility to organise your move without having to deal with everything on the same day.

Yes. Our units can be used for furniture and other household possessions.

Customers use self storage for sofas, tables, chairs, wardrobes, beds, boxes and many other household items when moving, renovating, downsizing or simply creating additional space at home.

Before placing furniture into storage, it is worth cleaning and drying everything thoroughly. Where appropriate, furniture can also be dismantled to make better use of the available storage space.

Yes. We provide storage for businesses that need additional space without committing to larger commercial premises.

A storage unit can provide extra capacity for stock, tools, equipment, office furniture, promotional materials, files and other business items.

Business storage can be particularly useful for:

• Tradespeople
• Online Retailers
• Local Shops
• Contractors
• Small Businesses
• Growing Companies
• Businesses with Seasonal Stock

The amount of storage you require can change as your business develops, which makes self storage a flexible alternative to permanently increasing the size of your premises.

Yes. Our storage facilities can provide tradespeople with somewhere to keep tools, equipment and materials away from their home or vehicle.

Drive-up storage can be particularly convenient where items need to be loaded and unloaded regularly.

Using dedicated storage can also help separate business equipment from your personal space and reduce the amount of stock or equipment being kept in garages, spare rooms or other unsuitable locations.

Yes. We provide outdoor drive-up storage containers at our Perth facility.

Drive-up storage is particularly convenient when you have bulky items, commercial stock, tools or equipment because you can bring your vehicle close to the storage unit rather than carrying everything through a building.

This can make loading and unloading quicker and easier, especially when accessing storage regularly.

Our outside storage units benefit from 24/7 access, allowing customers to reach their stored belongings outside normal office opening hours.

This can be especially useful for businesses and tradespeople who need equipment early in the morning, during evenings or at weekends.

Access arrangements may differ depending on the type of storage you choose, so please speak to our team when booking if access times are particularly important to you.

Security is an important part of our storage service.

Our site benefits from controlled access and CCTV surveillance, while our indoor units are fully alarmed. We also operate secure perimeter fencing around the facility.

Our security measures include:

• 24-Hour Digital CCTV
• Controlled Site Access
• Secure Perimeter Fencing
• Alarmed Indoor Storage
• On-Site Staff During Office Hours

If you would like more information about security for a particular type of storage unit, our team will be happy to explain the arrangements before you book.

Our indoor storage facilities include climate-controlled storage.

Indoor storage can be particularly suitable for possessions that you would prefer to keep within an enclosed building rather than an outdoor container.

The best option will depend on what you intend to store. If you are unsure whether indoor storage or drive-up container storage would be more appropriate, talk to our team before choosing your unit.

Yes. Renovation work is one of the most common reasons for needing temporary storage.

Moving furniture, boxes and other possessions out of rooms before work begins can give builders and tradespeople more room to work while protecting your belongings from dust and disruption.

Storage can be useful during:

• Kitchen Renovations
• Extensions
• Loft Conversions
• Full Property Refurbishments
• Flooring Work
• Painting and Decorating

Once the work has been completed, you can move your possessions back into the property when you are ready.

Yes. Our storage solutions can be used when you only need extra space temporarily.

Short-term storage can be useful during a house move, renovation, business project, student move or temporary relocation.

Tell us approximately how long you expect to need storage and what you intend to store, and our team can discuss suitable options with you.

Yes. Storage can also be arranged for customers who expect to need additional space for a longer period.

Long-term storage may be suitable for possessions you want to keep but do not currently have space for, archived business documents, seasonal stock, furniture or equipment.

Your storage requirements can change over time, so speak to our team if you later need more or less space.

Yes. In addition to storage at our own facility, we provide shipping container hire for customers who want additional storage at their own premises or suitable site.

This can provide a practical temporary storage solution for businesses, construction projects, property owners and other organisations.

We can discuss the container you require, intended location and delivery requirements before arranging the hire.

Yes. Perth Self Store supplies shipping containers for sale, including new and one-trip containers.

Buying a container can be appropriate when you need additional storage on a permanent or long-term basis rather than hiring one.

Containers can be suitable for:

• Commercial Storage
• Construction Sites
• Tools and Equipment
• Stock Storage
• Agricultural Storage
• General Property Storage

Contact us with your requirements and we can discuss the containers currently available.

Yes. We can provide container delivery using our own HIAB crane lorry.

A HIAB vehicle allows the container to be transported and lifted into position, subject to suitable vehicle access and a suitable location for the container.

Before delivery, we recommend discussing the site with our team so we can establish whether there is sufficient space and access for the delivery vehicle and lifting operation.

Shipping containers are large and require suitable access for the delivery vehicle.

The exact requirements depend on the container, the vehicle being used and where you want the container positioned. Restricted entrances, overhead obstacles, soft ground and limited manoeuvring space can all affect delivery.

When requesting a quote, give us as much information about the site as possible. Photographs and measurements may also help us assess the proposed delivery location.

A free move-in van is available subject to the applicable conditions, including the requirement that the driver is over 25 years old.

This can make moving possessions from your home or business into storage considerably easier, particularly if you do not already have access to a suitable vehicle.

Please speak to our team when booking your unit to check availability and the current terms that apply to the move-in van.

The correct unit size depends on the number and type of items you intend to store.

Boxes and a few smaller possessions may require very little space, while the contents of several rooms, large pieces of furniture or business stock will naturally require a larger unit.

Our indoor storage spaces range from approximately 4 sq ft to 140 sq ft. Tell us what you are planning to store and our team can help you choose a sensible amount of space rather than simply booking the largest unit available.

Self storage can accommodate a wide variety of household and business belongings.

Typical items include furniture, boxes, clothing, tools, equipment, documents, office furniture, stock and seasonal possessions.

There may be restrictions on dangerous, illegal, perishable or otherwise unsuitable items. If you are unsure whether a particular item can be stored, contact us before bringing it to the facility.

Yes. Storage can be useful for students who need somewhere to keep belongings between accommodation, during university holidays or while temporarily leaving Perth.

Rather than transporting everything home and back again, a smaller storage unit can provide somewhere convenient for boxes, clothing, books and other personal possessions.

The amount of space required will depend on what you are storing, so contact us if you would like help choosing a suitable unit.

The cost depends on the type and amount of storage you require.

Factors such as unit size, indoor or outdoor storage and the length of time you expect to use the space can influence the overall price.

We recommend choosing a unit that gives you enough room without paying for substantially more space than you need. Contact Perth Self Store for current availability and a quote based on your requirements.

You can contact Perth Self Store directly to discuss availability and choose an appropriate unit.
