KNOW THE ARRANGEMENTS

Rental periods, payments and notice.

01

Your rental period

Short- and long-term needs can be discussed. Ask the team to confirm the minimum term, your start date and what happens if you need the space for longer than expected.

02

Payments

The published terms specify monthly payments in advance by standing order, due on the first working day. Any applicable deposit and initial payment are due by the start of the agreement.

03

When you leave

The published terms require one month’s notice ending on the last day of a month. Agree the departure process, remove your property, leave the space tidy and return supplied security items.

Read the full storage terms and confirm how they apply to your chosen option. Your quotation and agreement should answer the practical questions before you move in.

LOOK AFTER WHAT YOU STORE

Insurance and item suitability.

Before booking, check that your belongings and the proposed storage conditions are compatible. Items with special temperature, moisture, security or handling requirements need particular consideration.

Lockdown’s published terms state that property remains at your risk. Confirm suitable insurance and ask the team about any requirements or options before moving in. Keep an inventory and supporting records of valuable items.

The terms restrict hazardous materials, explosives, firearms, ammunition, animals and items creating fire, damp or mould risks. Check the full restrictions and ask about anything unusual. This helps establish whether the storage is right for you before you arrange transport.

Can I store furniture during a house move?

Household storage can be useful between moves or while you prepare your next home. Discuss your furniture, box count and dates with the team so suitability and available space can be checked.

What do I need to do before moving in?

Agree your storage, start date and rental arrangements with the team. Ask what you need to bring, confirm access instructions, and arrange suitable transport and help for loading your belongings.

Are handling equipment or delivery services included?

Please ask the team about your specific requirements. Do not assume that pallet trucks, lifting help, delivery acceptance or transport services are included in a storage quotation.

Is there anything I should not bring?

Check the restrictions in the full terms before moving anything unusual. Tell the team exactly what you intend to store, particularly materials that could be hazardous or items requiring special environmental conditions.

Is my insurance included?
