Self Storage in the North East

Everywhere within a comfortable drive of Blyth. In practice that means the whole of south-east Northumberland — Cramlington, Bedlington, Ashington, Morpeth, Seaton Delaval, Newbiggin-by-the-Sea — plus North Tyneside and the north of Newcastle, so Whitley Bay, North Shields, Gosforth and the city itself. If you are further out, ring us anyway; we have customers who drive in from Alnwick and from Durham because the price and the access are worth the run.

About fifteen miles, and roughly thirty minutes outside rush hour. It is a straight run north on the A189 Spine Road past Gosforth and Cramlington, then off at Cowpen Road. Most of our Newcastle customers tell us the drive is quicker than getting across the city centre to a multi-storey facility, and once you are here you park at your unit rather than queueing for a goods lift.

Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. You get your own fob for the gate, so evenings, weekends and bank holidays are all fine — you do not need to book a slot or tell anyone you are coming. The office is staffed Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm, and closed on Sundays, so if you need to speak to someone that is when to ring.

Brand-new containers in 8ft, 10ft, 20ft and 40ft, plus indoor units for smaller loads. An 8ft takes a one-bed flat or a garage clear-out. A 20ft holds a typical three-bedroom house. The 40ft is a high cube — nine feet tall inside and around 320 square feet, which is where most of our commercial customers end up. If you are not sure, describe what you have got over the phone and we will tell you honestly which one fits.

We run a man-with-a-van service across the North East and Northumberland, so we can collect. It is a proper standalone service — you can book it whether or not you store with us — and there is a discount on it when you take a unit at the same time. One call sorts both, which is usually the point.

No. Terms are weekly and you can leave when you are finished. You can also move up or down a size as your needs change — people who take a unit for a house move often drop to something smaller afterwards rather than clearing out in a rush. Nothing to sign for a year, no exit penalty.

The yard is fully gated with fob-controlled entry, so only current customers get through, and it is covered by CCTV. The site is fully automated, which means access is logged rather than left to whoever happens to be on the gate. The containers themselves are new, wind and watertight, and you hold the only key to yours.

Plenty of people do. Tradespeople keep tools and materials here, online sellers keep stock, and contractors working on sites across the region use us as a drop point rather than paying for a commercial lease. You can take deliveries, and because access is round the clock you can load up before a 7am start. We also have larger commercial yard space if a container is not enough.

Ring us on 01670 333030 or message us on WhatsApp and describe what you are storing — number of rooms, or roughly how many pallets. We do this every day and we would rather put you in the right size first time than sell you something too big. There is no charge and no obligation for the advice.
