Mobile storage
A secure, weather-resistant storage unit delivered and assembled on your driveway, in your garden or on your business site. No trips to a distant facility, no heavy machinery, and a simple weekly hire that scales up or down as your project changes.
Why mobile
Our mobile units are part of the wider Door To Store storage unit hire service: the same steel units, delivered by van and built by hand wherever the work is.
With mobile storage from Door To Store the unit arrives flat-packed on our van and is positioned and fully assembled exactly where you need it: on the driveway, in the garden or on a business site. From delivery through assembly and positioning our team handles everything, so you do not have to lift a finger until it is time to load.
The units are built from high-quality steel, engineered to withstand all weather conditions and fitted with a robust locking system, two built-in deadlocks on the door, to keep your belongings safe.
With eight modular sizes you can choose a unit that matches what you need to store today and scale up or down as the project evolves. Renovations, decluttering, insurance claims, seasonal stock and extra space for a business all use the same units.
Your unit stays on your property for the whole hire, so you can pack and organise at your own pace and reach your things whenever you need them.
We offer competitive pricing and flexible weekly hire, billed every four weeks with a four-week minimum and no rigid long-term contract. Delivery, assembly and collection are itemised on the quote before you book, and mileage beyond 30 miles of Luton is shown up front.

Side by side
Both give you a locked space for your belongings. Only one of them is on your property.
| Comparison | Door To Store on-site unit | Self storage facility |
|---|---|---|
| Access | On your driveway, garden or site. Open it whenever you like; you keep the keys. | Access during the facility's opening hours, after a journey there. |
| Travel | None for you. We deliver, and we collect when you are done. | Every visit is a trip, and moving in and out usually means hiring a van. |
| Loading | Load straight from the house or site, at your own pace. | Load the van, unload at the facility, then do it all again on the way back. |
| Security | Steel panels bolted from inside, two built-in deadlocks, weatherproof. | A shared building with the facility's own locks and security arrangements. |
| Contract | Weekly hire billed every four weeks, four-week minimum, no fixed end date, 7 working days' notice to off-hire. | Set by the facility. |
| Delivery | By van, assembled by hand, with 7 days' notice as standard. No heavy machinery on your drive. | You arrange your own transport to and from the site. |
Which size
Every unit is built from 2 m steel modules, so we can extend one that is filling up rather than swap it.

Furniture and belongings from a couple of rooms while the builders are in. Fits on most driveways.

Three steps from booking to collection, and you do not need to leave the property for any of them.
The panels arrive flat-packed on our Luton van, so tight streets, side passages and back gardens are not a problem.
Our team builds the unit in the agreed spot on a firm, reasonably level surface. No permanent fixings, and planning permission is not usually needed.
Keep it for four weeks or a lot longer. When you have finished and the unit is empty, we come back, dismantle it and take it away.
We deliver and assemble the unit. We do not transport or handle your belongings, so you load it at your own pace and keep the keys.
