We’re experts in self storage

Self Storage Colchester

Looking for more space? Need to clear out the clutter? Our storage units in the heart of Colchester are the ideal solution. We offer flexible terms, incredibly security and the reassurance of knowing you’re dealing with a local company, rather than a faceless franchise. We help the business owners and residents of Colchester to clear out the clutter and organise their lives without letting go of any precious items. Whether you’re in Colchester, Clacton-on-Sea or Wivenhoe, we’ve got a storage solution to suit you.

When you put your valuable possessions in a storage unit, security is naturally your number one concern. You’ll be happy to learn that we take this very seriously, too. Every storage unit is individually alarmed and you will be the sole key holder. For added peace of mind, the entire site is also covered by 24-7 CCTV. And finally, we have perimeter alarms and a pin code system, so only authorised staff and customers can access the site.

For business customers, our storage units offer an easy way to make space for stock or bulky machinery. Our extended opening hours mean that you’ll have easy access to your storage unit. If you’re ready to discuss your storage requirements, get in touch with our friendly team!

Price promise

How much does self-service cost?

The cost of self storage depends on how much storage space you need. We have a wide range of storage rooms available at Hills Self Storage. Our smallest storage room is about the size of a broom cupboard and the largest room is about the size of half a tennis court. You can view and book our storage rooms online. If you can’t find the right storage for your needs, please give us a call on 01206 625 045.

What can I store?

You can store pretty much anything but there are a few items that you are NOT allowed to store. The following items are not permitted to be stored in our storage facility:

Food and drink

Compressed gas

Combustible/Flammable materials

Firearms

Chemicals

Any illegal items

Anything that emits fumes or odours

How much notice do I have to give to move out?

We require 14 days notice before you move out of your storage room. The best way to give notice is to Check-Out Online. However, if you’d rather, you can also give notice by calling us on 01206 625 045.

Do I pay weekly and monthly

Unlike many storage companies, we charge monthly rather than 4-weekly. This means that you will pay for your storage on or around the same date every month. Other storage companies like to charge you 4-weekly which means you’ll get charged 13 times over the period of a year. It also means that your next payment will be on a different date to your last.

What size room do I need?

Choosing the perfect storage room can be quite tricky, especially if you’re a first time storage user! However, you can view all of our storage rooms online or you can give us a call on 01206 625 045 and we’ll help you work out which storage room is best for you.

Is there a minimum rental period?

At Hills Self Storage there is no long term minimum storage commitment. You can store for as long as you want, there’s just a minimum storage charge of 1 week’s storage rental.
