Long-term Storage

We operate several secure sites across the UK where you can store a wide range of items in our robust, fully weatherproof storage containers.

All our storage sites offer easy, regular access to your containers, seven days a week, 365 days a year and at competitive prices.

What is long term storage?

That depends on how you define ‘long term’. Our minimum storage period is four weeks and there is no upper limit.

Whether you need a storage space for a few months or several years, Blue Bear Self Storage has the perfect solution.

That’s what makes our self-storage solution ideal for a wide range of customers, from growing businesses to downsizing empty-nesters and everyone in between. We make both long and short term storage easy.

Who uses our long term storage solutions?

Lots of people use our storage facilities for many different reasons. Some clients need long term storage because they are selling their home or working abroad, and need a space where they can safely load, store and collect their furniture.

People use our storage facility to keep heirlooms or items they’ve inherited but have no room for at home, safe in the knowledge they’ll be completely protected from the elements.

Other storage users are businesses that either need a secure place to house stock, documents or even pack away furniture, knowing they are free to collect it whenever they need.

Our storage services not only free up much-needed office space, they enable frequent access, so you are free to access whatever is stored in your container when you require it.

Many of our clients use our convenient storage units to hold sporting equipment or outdoor tools, knowing these often valuable pieces of equipment are 100% secure when stored with us.
