Self storage, delivered
Traditional self storage means hiring a van, driving to a facility and loading everything twice. We do it the other way round: a secure, weatherproof steel unit delivered to your home, business or site, assembled where you want it, and collected when you are done.
Why it works
The unit sits on your driveway, in your garden or on your site, so your belongings never leave your property and you never queue at a warehouse.
A self storage unit from Door To Store is delivered to your location, assembled on site by our team and left ready to load. There is no van to hire, no traffic to sit in and no loading and unloading at both ends. You pack at your own pace and open the door whenever you need something.
The units are built from high-quality steel and engineered to stand up to all weather, with a strong locking system on the door: two built-in deadlocks, and you keep the keys. Whether you are organising, renovating, moving home, managing an insurance claim or simply need extra space, the unit stays where it is useful.
Every unit arrives in sections on our van and is bolted together from the inside on a firm, reasonably level surface. That means no cranes, no HGVs and no HIABs, and it means the unit can go where a shipping container cannot: through a side gate, into a rear garden or onto a tight yard, as long as there is 2,150 mm of height clearance on the route in.
Our team manages the delivery and assembly from start to finish. When you have finished, we come back, dismantle the unit and take it away, leaving nothing behind.
Hire is charged weekly and billed every four weeks, with a minimum of four weeks and no fixed end date. Delivery, assembly and collection are itemised on the quote so you can see the whole cost before you book. Pay six months up front and installation and de-installation are half price; pay twelve months up front and both are free.

Side by side
The same steel box either way. The difference is where it stands and who does the driving.
| Comparison | Door To Store on-site unit | Self storage facility |

| Security | Steel panels bolted from the inside, two built-in deadlocks on the door, weatherproof. | Shared building with the facility's own security arrangements and locks. |
| 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 | Delivered by van and assembled by hand, with 7 days' notice as standard. No cranes or heavy machinery. | You arrange your own transport to and from the site. |
Which size
All eight sizes are built from the same 2 m steel modules, so you can start small and add to it later.
Decluttering
Seasonal items, boxes and small furniture. The most compact unit we build and the one most homes start with.
Quote the 2 × 2 mMoving or renovating
Furniture, appliances and the contents of two or three rooms while the work is done or the move goes through.
Quote the 2 × 6 mWhole-home storage
A square footprint with room to walk in and reach things, for larger household clear-outs or business stock.
Quote the 4 × 4 mHow it works
Choose a size, pick a start date and we take care of the rest. You never have to leave the property.
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.
