Do I need insurance?
We recommend contents insurance; our team can help you arrange cover if needed.
What size storage container do I need in Dorchester?
A 10ft unit (about 80 sq ft) suits a one-bed flat, a trade tool kit or seasonal gear. A 20ft unit (about 160 sq ft) holds the contents of a three-bed house or a full Luton van load. Most Dorchester customers choose the 20ft for the balance of space and price — and you can move between sizes as your needs change.

10ft units are £132 per 4 weeks (£110 + VAT) and 20ft units are £240 per 4 weeks (£200 + VAT). New customers get 50% off their first 4 weeks when booking online. There are no admin fees, no exit fees and no minimum term.
Can I get a van right up to the container?
Yes. Every unit at our Piddlehinton site is drive-up, on hardstanding, so you can reverse a car, van or Luton directly to the doors and load straight in. There are no lifts, corridors or trolleys involved.
Is a container suitable during a renovation?
It is one of the most common reasons people use us. Containers are wind and watertight and ventilated, so furniture, white goods and building materials stay dry while work is underway. Flexible 4-weekly terms mean you are not tied in if the job overruns.
Can businesses use Dorchester storage long term?
Yes. Trades, online retailers and local businesses across DT1 and DT2 use our units as overflow stock and tool stores. There is no lease and no minimum term, so you can scale up or down as demand changes, and 24/7 access suits early starts and late finishes.
