Norfolk-based Hamiltons Removals has opened phase two of its ‘Safe N’ Stored’ development by installing 78 modern self storage rooms at its Harleston depot in Norfolk. Phase one of the company’s entry into the self store market was completed in 2016 with the opening of a 6.5-acre site offering shipping container storage at Aldeby near Beccles in Suffolk.

The self storage rooms range in size from 25 to 200 sq ft, while the containers range from 5ft to 20ft. Managing Director Michael Sawyer said, “With Hamiltons now being able to provide storage solutions across the two depots we can cater for any storage requirements. We have clients that use containers to ease the running of their businesses, and people who require a unit they can drive right up to and offload.”

Hamiltons is also offering caravan, motorhome and boat storage at its Beccles depot. Both sites are completely secure offering 24/7 CCTV monitoring, sophisticated alarm systems and access for clients at both sites by an automated key fob entry system.

The sites have been inspected and approved by both the Self Storage Association (SSA) and the Caravan Storage Site Owners Association (CaSSOA).

Early next year will see the completion of the project’s next stage of development with the installation of a further 87 rooms at the Harleston depot.

“This service seemed like a natural progression for our business,” said Michael. “Having offered removals and storage services for the past 24 years, we were receiving more and more enquiries about self storage with its more flexible ‘come and go’ benefits.”
