Our 11 storage sites
WOW Storage has 11 sites overall: ten container sites and warehouse storage at Acton. Size availability depends on the site.
Acton warehouse storage, W3 0TG, is a different storage model from our drive-up containers. 861 Coronation Road is our head office, not a storage site.
Compare business container storage locations and ask about current availability.

How after-hours access works
- 24/7 customer access, including nights and weekends
- Phone to open the gate
- Drive-up containers at container sites
- Check vehicle suitability and loading arrangements before booking
- Ask about site-specific CCTV and lighting
Office hours are 9am–5pm, Monday to Saturday, separate from 24/7 customer gate access. Arrange any staff-assisted visit in advance during office hours.
Customers are responsible for securing their units after each visit. Confirm authorised-user arrangements and what to do if you cannot open the gate with the team before your first out-of-hours visit; do not assume 24-hour staff support.
No deposit or setup fee. Confirm the rental, cover, access and notice terms in your individual quote and Terms and Conditions. Stored goods and permitted use remain subject to those terms; do not store prohibited or perishable goods.
Security after hours
Check controlled entry, CCTV and lighting arrangements at the site you choose. Recorded CCTV is not the same as somebody watching live, and 24/7 access does not imply an overnight guard. Keep access details private and secure your unit when you leave.
- Controlled customer entry by phone-to-open
- Confirm site-specific CCTV arrangements
- Check lighting for your planned visit times
- Use and secure your unit lock as agreed
- Inspect the unit condition before move-in
- Do not assume climate control or guaranteed protection from damp
Ask the team which security features apply to your chosen location. Security measures reduce risks but do not guarantee the safety of every item; arrange suitable cover and follow the storage terms.

Choose practical access, not just a storage size
Is drive-up storage useful for contractors?
Direct vehicle access can make repeated collections of tools, ladders and stock more practical for contractors and delivery businesses. Plan enough space to reach the items you use regularly, and confirm your vehicle’s suitability and the site’s loading arrangements before booking.
Is drive-up storage better than indoor storage?
It depends on your contents and visit pattern. Drive-up containers avoid indoor lifts and corridors when you load from a vehicle. Indoor facilities may suit other needs; ask about any environmental requirements for sensitive items rather than assuming every container offers climate control.
Why use storage for tools overnight?
A separate unit can help keep tools out of a working van between jobs. Check the chosen site’s entry, CCTV, lighting, locks and cover arrangements. Storage security reduces risk but is not a guarantee against theft or damage.
What should I check before choosing 24-hour storage?
Confirm customer gate hours separately from office support, how authorised users enter, whether your vehicle can reach the unit, and the lighting and loading arrangements for your planned visit times. Use our business storage checklist and review the storage terms before booking.
