Self Storage in North Shields
Container and indoor self storage for North Shields, twenty-five minutes up the coast at our gated site in Blyth. Brand-new 8ft to 40ft units, 24/7 fob access — and a 5.0 rating from 74 Google reviews.
Room the terraces do not have
Much of North Shields is terraced and flatted, with back lanes rather than garages. That is fine until you are between houses, clearing a loft, or running a business out of somewhere that has run out of corners.
Twenty-five minutes up the coast you get a brand-new container in a gated yard, with parking at the door. Customers travel to us from North Shields, Preston, Chirton, Percy Main and Royal Quays — house moves, trade storage, and boats and gear off the Fish Quay.
No garage at home
Terraces and flats rarely come with one. A container gives you the space the house does not.
Trade & marine gear
Tools, stock and equipment stored dry and secure, with 24/7 access when the job starts early.
Moving house
Waiting on a completion date? Store a full three-bedroom home in a 20ft container.
Downsizing & decluttering
Moving somewhere smaller, or clearing a loft with no garage to fall back on. Park what you are not ready to part with and decide later.
Which size do you need?
Not sure what you need? Ring us and describe what you have got — we do this every day, and it takes about a minute to work out.

North Shields storage questions, answered
How far is Blyth Storage from North Shields?
Around twelve miles, roughly twenty-five minutes. Take the A193 coast road north through Whitley Bay and Seaton Sluice, or use the A19 and A189 if the coast road is busy.
I live in a terrace with no garage. What are my options?
An 8ft container is roughly a garage’s worth of space and suits terraced and flatted homes well. If that is more than you need, our indoor units come in small, medium and large. Ring and describe what you have and we will point you to the right one.
Can I get to my storage at any time?
Yes. Every customer gets a personal entry fob and the site is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week — useful if you are loading before an early start. The office is open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm.
What can I store?
Household contents and business goods — furniture, white goods, boxes, tools, stock, archives and equipment. What we do not run is a dedicated caravan or boat storage service, so if that is what you are after you will want a specialist site. A container is a different matter: a 40ft will take a car or a motorbike under cover if that is what you need.
What size unit do I need?
An 8ft container holds roughly 100 boxes, or the contents of a garage. A 10ft suits a one-bedroom flat. A 20ft takes a full three-bedroom house. The 40ft is a high cube — nine feet tall inside, around 320 square feet. Ring and describe what you have — we do this every day.
Will my belongings get damp?
No. Every container is a brand-new VENT-XL, wind and watertight, with vents on all four sides rather than the two a standard container ships with — so damp air is drawn out rather than sealed in. That is the difference between a ventilated container and a merely lined one. Customers have stored furniture through a full North East winter and taken it out completely dry.
Is there a minimum contract?
No long tie-in. Terms are weekly, and you can move up or down a size as your needs change without any penalty.
Can you collect from North Shields?
Yes. We run a man-with-a-van service across the North East. It is a standalone service — you can book it whether or not you store with us — and there is a discount when you take a unit at the same time.
