Still Using Self Storage? Here’s Why It’s Time to Switch to Container Storage

If you’re currently using a traditional self storage facility, you’re not alone — but you may be paying more than you need to for less convenience than you deserve.

At Colin Batt Removals, we offer a smarter, simpler alternative: container storage that gives you better value, easier access, and the flexibility you need.

Why Container Storage Beats Self Storage Every Time

Traditional self storage sounds great in theory — until you realise you’re paying for features you rarely use. Long corridors, trolleys, lifts, and 24/7 access often mean higher prices and extra hassle.

With container storage, you get everything you need — and nothing you don’t.

Here’s what makes container storage better:

✅ Lower monthly costs – Get more space for less money
✅ Drive-up access – Park right outside your container
✅ No long corridors – Load and unload in minutes
✅ Total security – Secure unit with CCTV and a gated site
✅ Flexible terms – Store for as little or as long as you need
✅ Optional collection service – We can pick up your items directly

Whether you’re storing for a few weeks or a few years, container storage is the cost-effective, stress-free solution.
