We were so pleased to be able to help a large Property Management Company with their file storage in Oxford last week. They had boxes of files accumulating in their office making working conditions difficult, but from time to time they needed access to them.
While we know from experience that self storage is incredibly practical, for companies it can be inefficient to be sending staff out to pick up files. Our free retrieval and pick up service is of great benefit to this customer, they just send a quick email with the list of items required and we’re able to drop them off and collect new items to be stored whilst we’re there, thus clearing valuable office space.
When it came to the initial move to our purpose built storage facility, we were able to arrange the complete move free of charge using our specialist transport partners. This enabled all of their staff to carry on with their work while we took responsibility for the removal itself.
If their document storage needs change we also offer very flexible storage terms. Should they need to grow their storage we have a large selection of storage units available to add or change to. Or when the time comes to dispose of document archives we’re able to help with our professional shredding service, which is free to all our customers

House prices in Oxford and the wider Oxfordshire region increased by 3.3% in 2012 compared to the previous year according data published by the Land Registry, with the rate increasing in the second half of the year. The number of households moving in 2012 stayed the same as in 2011, although there was a marked tail-off in the second half of the year which was 6% down on the same period in 2011.
The use of self storage units was also up. The Fort Box self storage centre in Oxford reported higher customer numbers for the year and attributed this to increased awareness of the benefits of using self storage. For example they saw large numbers of households using storage rooms for a short term period whilst they underwent home improvements and building works.
David Niven, the Fort Box Oxford manager commented “With the house market remaining quite difficult in Oxfordshire we have found that many of our customers really appreciate our short term storage offer of “Stay 2 Months, Pay for One” which effectively gives you your first month free. Our minimum stay is only seven days and many customers take advantage of this flexibility.”

Finding the right storage unit size can be a very difficult task. Storage companies quote a storage rate based on the size you need, which makes it hard if you don’t know. Have no fear; I have some helpful tips to get you through this process:
- Take a few minutes to create an inventory of the items you will be storing. Bonus if you have size dimensions!
- Visit our self storage guide tool to get an idea of what unit might fit your needs. Keep in mind you can stack boxes.
- Call one of our friendly members of staff (0800 023 7074)and talk through the items you will be storing. They can help determine what storage unit size is best for you.
- Visit one of our storage centres and use our state-of-the-art touch screen size guide tool. Once you have narrowed down your choice you can go and visit the room to make sure it’s the right fit.
Considering the steps above will ensure you have selected the right storage unit size for you. However, if you show up to one of our Fort Box storage locations and find that size will not work, we are always happy to move you to the next size room pending availability at no additional cost.
