Self storage in Shaftesbury
Self storage Shaftesbury customers reach in about 15 minutes: our storage facility is on Brickfields Industrial Estate in the centre of Gillingham, just behind the railway station. Ground-floor, drive-up insulated containers with 24/7 access, free padlock use, no deposit and no long-term contract — unit sizes up to 160 sq ft, short term or long term. House moves, renovations, stock for a high-street business: book online in minutes.
Shaftesbury sits high on its greensand hill above the Blackmore Vale — the only true hilltop town in Dorset, and home to Gold Hill, the cobbled street made famous by the 1973 Hovis advert. Below the ruins of the abbey King Alfred founded in 888, today’s Shaftesbury is a busy market town where period cottages, narrow lanes and limited off-street parking mean space is often at a premium.
That’s where we come in. Whether you’re clearing a loft in a listed home, holding stock for a high-street business, or moving between properties in town, our Gillingham units are only about 15 minutes away — just 4.5 miles down the B3081. You drive straight up to an insulated, ground-floor container and unload at the door, with 24/7 access and a free padlock, no deposit and 50% off your first four weeks.
Every unit is an insulated steel container on the ground floor with free padlock use, no deposit and no long-term contract. There is no minimum stay, though a minimum charge of two weeks applies and two weeks notice is needed to vacate. When you are ready, choose your size and check availability in seconds.
Storage for Shaftesbury — how far is Gillingham and what’s the site like?
Four and a half miles down the B3081, about 15 minutes. The yard is behind Gillingham railway station on Brickfields Industrial Estate: brand-new insulated containers in eight sizes from 20 to 160 sq ft, all ground floor and drive-up, with an electric gate that only opens to your registered phone, 24-hour live-monitored CCTV and dusk-to-dawn lighting. Free padlock use, no deposit, 24/7 access.
Which size do Shaftesbury customers usually need?
Units run from 20 sq ft up to a 20-foot, 160 sq ft container, with 40, 50 and 80 sq ft in between. As a rule of thumb, 40 sq ft takes the contents of a studio flat, 80 sq ft a two-bedroom flat, and 160 sq ft a three- or four-bedroom house or a shop’s stock and fittings. If you are between sizes, start smaller — there is no long-term contract, and you can move up when a bigger unit is free.
Can I get to my unit outside working hours?
Yes. The electric gate opens only to your registered phone, 24 hours a day, so a 6am run before the shop opens or a 10pm drop-off after work is no problem. Every unit is ground floor and drive-up, the yard is lit from dusk to dawn, and there is 24-hour live-monitored CCTV. From Shaftesbury it is 4.5 miles down the B3081, about 15 minutes, to Brickfields Industrial Estate behind Gillingham railway station.
How does booking work, and what does it cost?
Choose a size above and book online in a few minutes; your first four weeks are half price. No deposit, no hidden charges and free padlock use. There is no minimum stay — the minimum charge is two weeks, and you leave with two weeks’ notice. We match any like-for-like quote within three miles, and every price is shown live on this page.
