The physical height of the storage units mean that the storage units are unsuitable for the storage caravans. Cars may be stored in a few specific units when available but they must be drained of fuel and prevented from leaking whilst in store. Reluctantly we can no longer allow petrol powered machinery such as mowers, hedge trimmers, strimmers and motorbikes to be stored.
We can highly recommend a local vehicle / caravan storage facility. Please call 01823 674 129 for more information.
