Self storage is more than just providing furniture storage. Our self storage facilities are also geared up for tradesmen looking for that little bit extra service.

We know how useful it is having inexpensive builders type storage facilities which can be accessed at any time, day or night, seven days a week.

We also understand the needs of contractors ranging from plasterers, builders, Joiners, electricians, plumbers etc that just simple need hassle free inexpensive ‘premises’ or a ‘base’ to function from away from the family home.

We fit such a criteria. Not only are our storage units suitable for such trades use, but all rental costs are 100% tax deductible against your business. With easy monthly rentals which are not subject to complicated commercial leases normally associated with renting commercial premises, more and more trades people are using self storage as a perfect solution for their business.

Renovating a home and looking for self storage ?

Builders and commercial storage services.

We don’t only provide furniture and household storage ….We provide much more ….

If you renovate homes and property for a living, it is clearly obvious that this can be a lucrative career move.

Of course, the key to success often rests with correct planning and foresight. Self Storage is one such thing that is available to ensure your plans go to plan! Firstly, it’s cost effectiveness and speed at which a unit can be rented from us.

Read on …

If you buy too much material for a building project, self storage can give you a secure and protected place to safely store them until it comes in for use – in otherwords, materials that you would ordinarily discard can be kept and stored

Secondly, bulk buying of goods can become a viable option now – you can buy in bulk and keep it at a self storage until you need it, thus lowering the unit price.

A well organized self storage unit can help you access all your stock and equipment for site easily, quickly and conveniently with Your Lock Your Key® sites as only you have access to your goods.

Container units can be a handy and useful way of cutting overheads as prices starting from £20 per week is far cheaper than warehouse space or small industrial units where the likes of rates and other expenses kick in. With self storage, the price is what you pay!


Our storage units are available right in the middle of Carlisle and we have a choice of sizes and also grades of unit from builders grade to furniture grade thus providing a storage solution tailor made for you.

Being able to access your unit at all times during day or night, 24hr, is a huge bonus as you never know just when you need to retrieve items. On a Your Lock Your Key® site, access is 24/7 and all sites are under CCTV with a host of security measures.

Expansion for Your Lock Your Key® Storage Carlisle®

Further expansion for Carlisle storage firm

City Centre operator, Storage Carlisle® gets permission to expand their site by a further thirty storage units on The Rome Street Depot, Carlisle as reported by the News and Star recently.

The Industrial area is already host to a number of local and national businesses, and Storage Carlisle® is proud to be part of the site and demonstrates the attractiveness of its City Centre Carlisle location.

Carlisle is close to the M6 motorway and provides excellent transport links. It makes ideal sense to store anything from household to business goods even if you live outside of the area.

How much can I fit into a Storage Unit ?

Can I Store my entire house contents with you?

Yes in short !

Let’s look at some facts – our average size unit can store 1200cu ft of items. To put in in perspective, a large two bedroom house can be stored in one of these with relative ease. Possibly, a three bedroom.

These are of course, estimations, but which ever way you look at at it, storing furniture and belongings in such a unit works out to be a very cost effective way of storage.

The approximate physical dimensions of our 1200cu foot units are twenty foot in length, eight foot across and around nine feet high. You may think this doesn’t sound much, but when you consider that you will pack the contents tightly in your unit (or your removal people will). Three mattresses will only stack three foot high and take up a MINUTE section of it. You get the idea …..

So if you have a need to store your house contents due to relocation, renovations work etc (or even partial contents should you need to de clutter), you don’t need to stress knowing an average houseful of contents can be stored with relative ease.
