Getting here

The drive from Halifax

What locals store

How Halifax uses JB Storage

Halifax customers are usually bridging a house sale, storing during a renovation, or running stock for a small business - and often find our flat monthly rate beats what they were quoted closer to home.

Every container comes with a padlock supplied by us, sits behind a gated yard with 24/7 motion-sensing CCTV, and runs on rolling monthly terms with just 14 days' notice. More questions? See our FAQs.

Worth comparing

Container storage vs an indoor unit in Halifax

Halifax has several indoor self storage facilities, and for a few boxes they're perfectly good. The difference shows up the moment you're moving furniture. An indoor unit means parking in a loading bay, waiting for a lift, walking a corridor and pushing a trolley - and usually doing all that inside opening hours. A drive-up container means reversing to your own door at whatever time you like and loading straight off the tailgate. If you've ever tried to get a sofa into a third-floor unit at four on a Saturday, the difference isn't small.

On price, containers generally come out lower per square foot. A 20ft container here is £190 a month for about 160 sq ft; an indoor unit of comparable size in Halifax typically costs more, often with an access-hours restriction on top. What you give up is a heated corridor and a reception desk - which matters if you're storing paperwork, and doesn't if you're storing a house.

Halifax customers mostly come to us mid-move, when a sale and a purchase don't line up, or during renovations on the older stone terraces around town where there's simply nowhere to put a room's worth of furniture. Tradespeople working across Calderdale use containers as a base for tools and materials that's closer to the job than home is.

Quick answers

Halifax storage questions

How far is Brighouse from Halifax, really?

About twelve minutes from the town centre on the A58, and less from the Southowram and Hipperholme side. It's a straightforward run down the valley rather than a trek - most people find it quicker than crossing Halifax itself at teatime.

Why choose a container over an indoor unit in Halifax?

Access, mostly. With an indoor unit you park in a bay, take a lift, walk a corridor and push a trolley, usually during opening hours. Here you drive to your own container door at any hour and load straight off the tailgate. Container storage also tends to work out cheaper per square foot, and there's no queue for the lift on a Saturday.

Is a 20ft container big enough for a three-bed house?

For most three-bed houses, yes. A 20ft container is roughly 160 sq ft - about a single garage - and takes furniture, boxes and white goods from a typical two to three bedroom home. If you're moving from something larger, two containers side by side still costs less than most indoor alternatives.

How much is the deposit, and do I get it back?

It's £150, taken with your first payment, and it comes back to you in full when you leave - provided the container is emptied and left as you found it. It isn't rent in advance and it isn't an admin fee.

How much notice do I have to give?

Fourteen days, running from the day we receive it rather than to the end of the month. Rent runs by the calendar month, so if you know you're going it's worth telling us at least 14 days before the month ends.

Do I need my own padlock, or insurance?

We supply a good padlock with every container, so there's nothing to buy on the way. Your own contents insurance is your responsibility - most home policies extend to goods in storage, but it's worth a call to your insurer to check rather than assume.
