Commercial Yard Space in Blyth
Secure open yard space on Blyth Riverside Business Park for plant, materials, equipment and stock. Gated, CCTV-covered, 24/7 fob access — and no commercial lease to sign.
Somewhere to put it that is not the job site
Contractors working across Northumberland keep running into the same problem: the site compound is not secure, the yard at home is full, and taking on an industrial unit for a nine-month job means a three-year lease. Meanwhile the excavator is sat somewhere it should not be, insured on a promise.
We have open yard space on the business park — gated, hard standing, CCTV, and access round the clock on a fob. Take it by the week for as long as the job runs. When it finishes, you hand it back.
Plant & machinery
Diggers, dumpers, telehandlers and attachments between jobs. Behind a gate on hard standing rather than sinking into the corner of a field.
Materials & aggregates
Timber, pipe, ducting, scaffold, bagged aggregate. Long lengths and awkward loads that will not go through a roller shutter door.
Overflow stock & equipment
The pallets, kit and materials that will not fit back at base during a busy spell. Take the space for the job and hand it back after.
Yard plus a container
Plant outside, tools and consumables locked in a container beside it. The combination most contractors end up with, and it works out cheaper than a unit.
Add a container to your yard space
Most yard customers want somewhere lockable alongside the open space — for tools, consumables, PPE and paperwork. Brand-new containers in four sizes sit right there on site, so the kit lives next to the plant rather than half an hour away. The 20ft is the usual choice; the 40ft high cube gives around 320 square feet and nine feet of internal height.
8ft container
Around 100 boxes, or a cleared garage. Garden tools, bikes and seasonal stock.
10ft container
A one-bedroom flat, or office equipment and supplies during a move or refit.
20ft container
A full three-bedroom home, with room to walk in and reach what you need.
40ft high cube
40ft long, 9ft high, around 320 sq ft. A four-bedroom house, a small car, or site materials.
Indoor units too
Small, medium and large units inside the building — dry, clean and secure, for smaller loads and documents.

What our customers say
Where we are
Blyth Riverside Business Park, off Cowpen Road and signed from the A189 Spine Road. It is a working business park with proper access — a low-loader or an artic can get in and out, and there is room to turn without a shunt. Fifteen minutes from Cramlington and Ashington, twenty from Morpeth, thirty from Newcastle, and straight down the A189 for anything on the coast.

Yard space questions, answered
How much yard space can I take?
It depends what is free at the time, which is why this page does not quote a figure. Ring us with the footprint you need — number of machines, trailer lengths, roughly how many square metres — and we will tell you straight away whether we can accommodate it. If we cannot, we will say so rather than string you along.
Is it hard standing or ground?
Hard standing. That matters more than people expect: tracked plant on soft ground in a Northumberland winter is how you end up needing a recovery, and a trailer that has sunk in is a morning gone. It also means you are not dragging site mud back onto the road.
Is there a lease?
No. Terms are weekly, the same as everything else on site. No three-year commercial lease, no dilapidations clause, no rent review and no deposit measured in months. Take it for the duration of a job and hand it back when the job finishes.
When can my crew get in?
Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, on a fob. That is the point for anyone with a 7am start — load up, get off, no waiting for someone to open a gate. The site is fully automated so entries are logged. The office is staffed Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm, and closed Sundays.
How secure is it?
Gated with fob-controlled entry, so only current customers get through, and CCTV covers the site. Plant theft across the North East is a real problem and most insurers will want to know exactly what the arrangements are — ask and we will confirm them in writing. Anything you want locked away goes in a container that only you hold the key to.
Can I take deliveries here?
Yes, by arrangement — tell us what is coming and when. The park takes 7.5-tonne and larger vehicles without difficulty, and there is room for a tail-lift or a Hiab to work. It is a common reason contractors use us: a delivery point that is secure and accessible, closer to the job than the merchant is.
Can I run a business from the yard?
It is storage space rather than operating premises, so it is not a workshop, a trading address or somewhere to carry out works. Storing plant, materials and vehicles and coming and going to collect them is exactly what it is for. If you are unsure whether what you have in mind fits, ring and describe it rather than guess.
What if I only need it for a few weeks?
That is fine, and it is a good part of what we do — short jobs, overflow during a busy spell, somewhere to put a fit-out while a site is unsecured. Weekly terms cut both ways: no minimum to commit to, and no penalty for leaving when the work is done.
How do I check availability?
Ring 01670 333030 or message us on WhatsApp with what you need to park and how long for. Yard space moves about more than container space does, so a phone call is genuinely the fastest way to get a straight answer. Come and walk the site first if you would rather see the access for yourself.
Ready to sort your storage?
Ring Richard and the team on 01670 333030, or message us on WhatsApp. Tell us roughly what you need to store and we will tell you which size fits — no obligation, no pressure.
