Self storage is a service offering flexible, do-it-yourself storage for business and domestic customers. We provide clean, dry, individually alarmed storage units, access to which is available to our customers anytime during opening hours (access outside hours can also be arranged at no extra cost). Your storage unit is locked with your own lock ensuring that only you have access to your goods.
The Self Storage Industry started in the United States and Australia some 35 years ago. In the United States there are over 32,000 separate Self Storage facilities offering some 1.5 billion square feet of Self Storage space. The Industry has developed in Europe over the past 20 years where there are now more than 500 facilities. There are over 100 facilities in the Greater London Area alone. In Ireland, there are facilities in Dublin, Cork, Belfast, Limerick, Waterford and Letterkenny.
We are the largest Self Storage company in Ireland with premises in Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Waterford. A typical facility would have approx. 80,000 square feet of space to let with over 800 self storage units spanning 32 different sizes on four floors to accommodate every possible need.
Q4) What are the unit sizes that you have available?
We have over 2400 Units covering 480,000 square feet within our six branches ranging in size from 20/25sq.ft. to 1,000sq.ft. Our units are approximately 10 ft. in height.
Simply use the space estimator below to help you identify the size of unit to suit your needs.
You need your own lock to ensure that you are the sole key holder for your unit. You can use any padlock you wish or alternatively Padlocks can be purchased at each of our centres.
Q8) How much does it cost to store my things with you?
The cost of a storage unit depends upon the size required. If you are not sure how much space you may need, we suggest that you speak to a member of our staff to determine the optimum storage for your requirements. A price can then be quoted on the correct size unit. U Store It has a wide range of units and lockers starting from as little as €10 per week plus VAT.
Q9) What is included in the price and are there any hidden extras?
We have one simple price based on the storage capacity of each unit and there are no hidden charges. The only additional cost you might want to consider is additional contents insurance if required.
No, you can simply turn up, fill in your storage agreement and move in immediately. However, if your needs and timing are specific, we would recommend that you book your unit in advance.
Q15) How often can I have access to my goods and how much does it cost for access?
You have unlimited access to your goods during our opening hours at no extra charge. Access outside these hours can be organised by prior arrangement at no extra cost.
You can bring your goods in your own vehicle. We have ample car parking and large sheltered loading/unloading areas at each facility. Alternatively, we can recommend local van hire or removal companies to help with your transportation.
We request 7 days notice of your intention to vacate your unit. At this time a refund will be processed for any unused monies that you have paid. Notice can be given in person, in writing, by fax, phone or e-mail.
Yes, provided arrangements have been made, we will accept deliveries on your behalf provided you leave us a key to your unit and we will also keep copies of delivery dockets for you.
Yes, we will provide you with your own unit, sized to your individual needs, with or without racking, and you or your staff will look after your own records on your own schedule. You have absolute control over your files and records with your own employees. It also makes economic sense in that you can avoid the high service fees charged by Records Management companies.
This is ideal for a small to medium sized professional office, whose valuable office space is being encroached upon by file cabinets, many of whom are only occasionally used. In fact, in some cases, using Document Self Storage can preclude moving to a larger office, or adding on to a building for an expanding business. See Document Storage page.
There are a number of different size trolleys and pallet trucks available free of charge for customer use. We also have a forklift truck available at all our branches for unloading heavier goods.
