Mobile storage
Mobile storage, where you need it, when you need it
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
Storage that moves to the job, not the other way round
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.
Delivered, positioned and assembled
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.
Modular sizes that grow with the project
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.
Flexible weekly hire, no hidden fees
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.
- Weekly hire from £35 + VAT, billed every four weeks
- No cranes, no HGVs, no HIABs: delivered by van and assembled by hand
- Pay 6 months up front for half-price installation and de-installation, or 12 months for both free
- Give us 7 working days' notice when you are ready to off-hire

Side by side
Mobile storage or a self storage facility
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. |

Mobile storage questions
What is Door To Store, and how does it work?
Door To Store is a storage service that brings a secure storage unit directly to you. Choose the size you need and we deliver it to your location and assemble it on site. When you have finished, we dismantle it and take it away.
How safe are the mobile storage units?
Very. The units are built from high-quality steel, bolted together from the inside, and designed to stand up to all weather. The door has two built-in deadlocks and you keep the keys.
Can I trust a mobile storage unit with my valuable items?
Yes. Security is the first thing the unit is designed for. Bear in mind that contents insurance is not included, so you should insure anything valuable you store.
Is there a minimum or maximum rental period for a mobile storage unit?
The minimum hire is four weeks. There is no maximum: hire runs week by week for as long as you need, whether that is a short project or long-term storage.
What sizes are available, and how do I choose the right one?
Eight sizes from 2 × 2 m to 4 × 6 m. Our team can help you pick a size based on what you plan to store, or use the storage calculator to add up your items and see which unit fits.
How do you make sure the unit is assembled correctly?
Our own experienced team builds every unit on site, bolting it together from the inside on a firm, reasonably level surface. It is the same two-person crew and the same method every time.
How big are the units and what do they weigh?
Sizes start at 2 × 2 m (40 sq ft). A fully built unit weighs approximately 250 kg per 2 m of length.
Is the unit weatherproof?
Yes. The unit is designed to keep out rain, snow and other harsh weather so your items stay dry. If you are storing fabrics such as sofas or mattresses, we recommend Absorpoles inside the unit to absorb excess moisture from the air. They are optional and cost £25 each.
Can I access my items in the mobile storage unit at any time?
Yes. The unit is on your property and you have the keys, so you can get to your belongings whenever you need them.
What happens if I run out of space?
The units are modular. If yours fills up faster than expected, we can add an extension to it or supply a second unit.
What areas do you cover?
We are based in Luton, Bedfordshire, and serve customers across the UK. Installation and collection within 30 miles of Luton are included; beyond that we add £2 + VAT per mile. We are also expanding through franchising, so get in touch if you would like to see Door To Store in your area. See the areas we cover.
Can I cancel my unit delivery?
Yes. Call or email us at least 7 working days before the scheduled start date to avoid a charge. Cancellations within 7 working days of the start date are charged at the installation fee. Our terms and conditions set out the cancellation rules in full, including the consumer right to cancel.
What if I need to move the mobile storage unit to a different location?
Contact us and we will work out the arrangements with you. The unit will need to be emptied first.
Are there any items I cannot store in the unit?
Yes. Combustible, flammable, hazardous or toxic materials such as petrol, compressed gas, propane tanks and chemicals must not be stored. Perishable food, live plants, radioactive materials, stolen items and illegal goods are also prohibited. If you are unsure about something, ask us before you load it.
