Units here start at 35 square feet and go up to 3,000. That range covers most of the gap businesses actually fall into. Too much stock for the back room, nowhere near enough to justify leasing a second unit. A stockroom that works in February and fails in November.
Britannia Cestrian has been storing for businesses across Chester, the Wirral and North Wales for over 40 years, from a depot that also holds more than 900 wooden storage containers for household work. Same site, same security, same team.

What businesses keep here
Surplus stock is the common one, particularly seasonal stock that only needs space for part of the year. After that it is office furniture waiting on a fit-out, IT and equipment between premises, and archived paperwork that has to be kept but does not have to be kept on site.
We hold documents in purpose-built archive containers and archive storage cartons rather than loose on a shelf. Loose and awkward items go into steel container storage, which handles the things that will not box up neatly.
Getting it to us
Either way round. Our team collects from your premises, or you drop items off yourself, whichever suits how you work. For a business already using us for a relocation, the storage leg is planned into the same project rather than booked separately.
Security at the depot
The warehouse is monitored inside and out by 24-hour closed circuit television. There is a full secure perimeter fence and an alarm system across the site, and the storage units are fully insured.
It is a working removals depot rather than a self-service shed on a ring road, which means goods are handled by trained crews rather than by whoever holds the gate code.
Getting things back out
Access is arranged through the office, which is open Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 5pm. Tell us what you need and when, and it is pulled and ready.
Scaling with the business
Storage terms are tailored rather than fixed. Take more space for a seasonal peak, give it back afterwards, and the arrangement moves with you. Nothing here requires committing to a footprint you will not need in six months.
Records management and shredding
Archived files can be stored, indexed and retrieved as a managed service, and securely destroyed when their retention period ends. That keeps a paper trail for anything you are obliged to hold and removes the risk of storing files you should have disposed of.
