Frequently asked questions about long term at Alexanders
How long counts as long term storage?
Long term storage is usually classed as storage for a period longer than three months.
Why choose long term storage over self storage?
Long term storage is the better choice if you don’t need frequent access to your belongings — the less often you need to reach your items, the more cost-effective it becomes compared to self storage.
How big are long term storage units?

Are long term storage units secure?
Yes. Your container is stored in a warehouse protected by 24-hour CCTV monitoring, a fire and intruder alarm system linked to the local emergency services via RedCare, and keyholder security response.
Can I access my items in long term storage?
Yes. We just need 5 working days’ notice (subject to availability) to bring your container to an indoor loading area. This is a fully managed service, so one of our porters will be with you at all times, and we keep a detailed inventory of everything in your container. There may be a charge for inspections depending on your situation.
How much does long term storage cost?
Long term storage is priced by quote, based on how many containers you need and how long you’re storing for. Contact us for a tailored price — it’s typically more cost-effective than self storage for the same volume of items.
What's the difference between Long Term Storage and Container Storage?
They’re the same physical product — a 250 cubic foot wooden container in our managed warehouse. “Long Term Storage” describes the use case (storing for three months or more), while our Container Storage page shows you exactly what a container looks like and how much it holds.
