Imagine having your own personal extra room, but without the hassle of building an extension! That’s essentially what self storage is. You rent a secure, private space (we call them units) to keep your belongings safe and sound. 

Think of it as a solution for those times when life throws you a curveball, like:

• Moving house: Need a temporary spot for your furniture while you settle in? Self storage has your back.
• Downsizing: Letting go of the family home but not ready to part with cherished possessions? Store them safely with us.
• Renovating: Protect your valuables from dust and damage while you spruce up your space.
  
   
• Life changes: New baby, new hobbies, or maybe you’ve inherited some family heirlooms? Self storage provides the extra room you need.  
  
   
• Business needs: Need a place to store stock, equipment, or important documents? We offer solutions for businesses too. 
  
   

At North Store Self Storage, we offer a variety of unit sizes to fit your needs, and you can access your belongings whenever you like during our convenient opening hours.

It’s like having an extra garage or spare room, just a short drive away!

You can store a wide range of items, including:

• Household goods: Furniture, appliances (fridges, washing machines – make sure they’re properly drained!), kitchenware, décor, books, seasonal items (holiday decorations, winter clothes), and those family heirlooms you can’t part with.
• Sports and outdoor equipment: Bikes, surfboards, camping gear, kayaks, golf clubs – keep your adventure gear safe and ready for your next outing.
• Clothing and textiles: Store seasonal clothing, extra bedding, or even that vintage dress collection in our climate-controlled units to protect them from the elements.
• Tools and equipment: DIY tools, gardening equipment, or even that workbench you don’t have space for at home.
• Documents and archives: Important files, business records, and sentimental items like photos and letters can be safely stored in our secure units.
• Retail stock: Excess inventory, promotional materials, or seasonal items can be stored to free up space in your shop or warehouse.

However, there are some items that are not permitted for safety and legal reasons:

• Perishables: Food, drinks, and anything that can rot or attract pests.
• Hazardous materials: Flammable liquids, explosives, toxic chemicals, and anything that could pose a risk to our facility and other customers.
• Illegal items: Drugs, weapons, and stolen goods are strictly prohibited.
• Live animals or plants.

If you’re unsure whether a specific item is allowed, please don’t hesitate to contact our friendly team at North Store. We’re happy to help!

Units are rented according to availability, and you’re welcome to drop by and see what’s available at the facility. We do recommend calling ahead to discuss your requirements and ensure we have a unit or units available for exactly what you need to avoid disappointment.
