We are but for the time being, we have paused this service due to our covid measures.
We’ve been working with DPD to provide this service since 2018 and lots of customers find that being away from town traffic, near the A30 and with ample free parking suits their needs really well, so as soon as we are able to, we are looking forward to resuming this service.
When you go through the usual stages of the DPD website for either sending or collecting a parcel, you should be able to choose Eversley Storage. If you have any difficulties, don’t hesitate to give us a ring 0118 932 8328.

We keep customers’ information on our system so that everyone who takes your call or speaks to you when you come in can pull up your details. This means that you don’t have to explain your storage needs and situation to every new person you speak to. Once you are in storage with us it is kept up to date in real time, so that anyone you speak to can see if you’ve paid your bill, rung previously to ask a question, reserved an additional unit etc.
Before you become a customer, you would generally only receive two possible communications from us, without requesting something specific – if you reserve a unit, we will email you to confirm that reservation. If you don’t take up that reservation and we don’t hear from you, we will give you a ring to see if you still need the unit held in your name, or whether you’ve moved on in your thinking and we can cancel the reservation for you. That’s it. We do not have a regular call back schedule, whereby we ring everyone who has ever expressed an interest in storage and try to talk them into making their decisions quicker! We do not have a regular email broadcast along similar lines. When you hear from us, whether it’s before you come into storage or once you are a customer, it will relate to information that is specific to your account and directly affects you – we do not spray automatically generated content into your inbox on a weekly basis!
While everything changes and business practices do develop, we would like you to know that we’ve been in the storage business since 1988 and we take an old-fashioned approach to customer communication and customer service which informs our decision-making. This is not going to change. We have had decades to observe that our storage customers are usually busy and juggling lots of different factors in their lives – this applies whether they are expanding their business, moving house, renovating their house, sustaining demanding hobbies – whatever their circumstances, we’ve never yet met the customer who would welcome a constant stream of sales orientated mail, emails or phone calls, so we don’t do it.
If you have any further queries, do pop in and see us or give us a ring 0118 932 8328.
No. Our units will take cars and some other vehicles but they are not large enough to accommodate a caravan or a motor home.
If you have any other queries, do pop in and see us or give us a ring 0118 932 8328.
There are a few pubs in Eversley village, if you’re ready to have a meal before you head home at the end of a long day. You could try The Golden Pot, The Chequers or The Tally Ho.
If you’re looking for a cafe to have a cuppa or a quick lunch, Hartley Wintney has several nice cafes – for takeaway sandwiches you could try Warings Bakery or to sit down and have something both the Courtyard Cafe which is at the back of Hartley Antiques and the Costa are easy to find on the village high street. There is also a Waitrose 5 minutes away by car and Yateley Village centre is close by with a variety of convenience stores offering snacks and drinks.
(Please note that these are not formal recommendations and we have no association with these businesses. The Marketing Manager has shopped in or eaten in all of them, but not regularly, so we cannot comment as to the continuing quality of the establishments.)
Yes. We recommend that you use plastic sheeting or liners to protect all fabrics, including home soft furnishings, leather sofas, fabric luggage and clothes. We sell mattress wrappers and tape – available to purchase from our office. You must also cover untreated wood either with storage blankets or plastic liners.
Our units are fully weather-sealed, with managed ventilation. This means that you need to be very careful not to bring damp items into the unit. Always make sure that goods are scrupulously dry before you bring them into storage. So, if you have wiped or washed any fabric, it needs to be 100% dry before putting into your storage unit. Bear this in mind for any motorcycle leather, car seats or mats which you might well give a quick clean before storing and be especially careful with shoes and coats.
It is very important to put anything that might attract pests in a sealed, airtight tub. Please note that this includes candles, which are an attractive food source for all rodents, because of the fats and oils in them.
Do ask any of our friendly, experience staff for advice if you aren’t sure how to pack particular items – pop in and see us or give us a ring 0118 932 8328.
Security is a central aspect of our service.
Our site is manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We have extensive CCTV and security lighting. When the premises is closed, the perimeter is locked down and our guard dog has the run of the site, along with his human security patrol partners!
Do have a look at our Security page to find out more about our security arrangements. If you have any particular queries that you would like to discuss, just pop in or give us a ring 0118 932 8328 – we’d be delighted to explain further.
What you store is entirely your choice, provided it’s not perishable or noxious, not flammable or explosive and not illegal. We also ask that you do not store any foodstuffs, other than in airtight, sealed tubs. This includes candles which can be an attractive food source to all rodents, because of the fats and oils that they contain.
If you need any advice about what you can and cannot store, call us 0118 932 8328, contact us or pop in – our staff will be able to answer any specific queries you may have.

No. But our premises are well-lit.

Children should not use the mobile access platforms.

Unit measurements are given length, width, height.
Measurements are external. They are generally accurate, but of course, if you are storing an item that you know is going to be very close to the maximum dimensions of your unit, you may need to come and measure precisely, before bringing the item into store. If you aren’t sure what size you need, do come to see us and we can show you into the various units to help you get a good idea of the space.
The dimensions are given on our Sizes page, in Metric and Imperial. The cubic and squared measurements are given also.
If there’s anything else we can help you with, do pop in and see us or give us a ring 0118 932 8328.
Firstly, measure your largest item, to get your minimum height and length of unit.
Then visit our Sizes page, to see illustrations of approximate capacity related to house and vehicle size or for businesses, numbers of pallets or archive boxes that can be accommodated etc.
If you have any other queries, do pop in and see us or give us a ring 0118 932 8328.
Many of our customers do make these changes. Subject to availability, we can easily arrange upsizing, downsizing or taking additional units.
Do take a look at our Storage Unit Sizes page to work out which size unit is right for your current needs or call our friendly storage experts now on 0118 932 8328.
The main considerations for this are price, loading or unloading and access.
First floor units are cheaper, but are accessed via a moveable flight of stairs. If you have a company helping you to load your items or your items are not especially large or heavy, a first floor unit might represent better value. But if you are doing all your loading yourself and have large, heavy items of furniture, first floor storage might not suit you so well and a ground floor unit would be more convenient for you.
Do come and have a look to get an idea of how you would get on. Our sales staff will be happy to show you the access arrangements for a first floor unit so that you can choose for yourself.
If you have any other queries, give us a ring 0118 932 8328.
Our storage containers offer an excellent alternative to room self-storage. Almost all of our units are direct-access, meaning that you can drive right up to them and there is no additional charge whatsoever for this. Our prices compare extremely favourably. We are located out of town, on a main road so you don’t have to struggle with town traffic to get to us and there’s plenty of space for vehicles of all sizes.
If you have any other queries, do pop in and see us or give us a ring 0118 932 8328.
All of our units, with the exception of the Extra Small size, have an 8 foot double doorway on the front. Both doors open fully to allow easy access for large items. There is a step up into the unit, but we can provide ramps if you are intending to store a car.
Do visit and ask to see our show unit, to get a good idea of how it would be to load and unload. We have a tape measure that you can borrow if you need to take particular measurements.
If you have any other queries, pop in and see us or give us a ring 0118 932 8328.
Yes. Below you will find a video of us tucking our Marketing Manager’s car away in one of our units!
Here you will find an article about Classic Car Storage at Eversley Storage
Do come and measure if you need to check the width of the car will be accommodated or give us a ring if we can help with any other queries 0118 932 8328.
We have customers storing classic and luxury cars, ride-on garden equipment such as mowers, quad bikes and motorcycles. If you would like to store a vehicle taller than a standard car, you would need to measure carefully to make sure that it can be accommodated – do pop in if you need to ask questions or look at a unit yourself.
Do pop in and see us or give us a ring 0118 932 8328 if we can help with any other queries.
No, we don’t – our largest unit is the 30 footer. Information about all our sizes is here.
If you need more space, our friendly, experienced staff are happy to talk through what combination of units would suit you – pop in and see us or give us a ring 0118 932 8328.
We have a small number of extra small units that are 8′ high and deep but only 4′ wide. These are equivalent to a large understairs cupboard (but they are 8′ high all the way back, so there’s no chance of bumping your forehead on the underside of the staircase!) or a modest garden shed. They are very popular and are an excellent price. Head over to our sizes page for more information…
Do pop in and see us or give us a ring 0118 932 8328 if we can help with any other queries.
We do not charge weekly and only the monthly hire term is charged on a monthly basis. Customers hiring on a Quarterly term are issued invoices every three months, Half-year hire is charged every six months and Annual every twelve months. Hire charges are due in advance. The only way to pay monthly is to take the standard monthly hire term, but many customers prefer to save up to 25% by taking a longer hire.
All our prices are displayed here and the buttons underneath the table allow you to see a monthly and weekly illustration (rounded to the nearest pound) of all of our hire charges to help you make comparisons.

Special offers are limited to specific unit sizes and hire terms and are subject to availability. You can check whether we are running a special offer and find out all the details on our prices page via the various size tabs.
Please note that our special offers frequently end prior to the advertised date, because we do not offer discounts on units where availability is very low. As soon as we lose availability, the special offer will end and we will remove the advertising as quickly as possible. To avoid disappointment, we do advise customers to act quickly.
The discount applies in your first hire term, only. Deposits are payable as usual and payment is due in advance.
If you have any queries at all, give our friendly team a ring 0118 932 8328, pop in and see us or contact us through the website.

We take a deposit when you come into store. This is to cover our costs if keys are lost or if the unit is not left vacant and clean and tidy at the end of the hire period.

Our ground floor units allow you to unload directly from your vehicle. For our first floor units, the car or van can be parked right next to a mobile access platform (moveable stairs with a nice big landing at the top) so that you can unload directly from the vehicle.
Compare photos of ground and first floor access and prices.
We only reserve vacant units. Once you’re in and hiring, your unit is yours for as long as you need it. You don’t have to request a longer term. When you pass the date that you’ve paid up to, we will invoice you for the next term and you can simply continue rolling along for as long as you need to.
If there’s anything else we can help you with, do pop in and see us or give us a ring 0118 932 8328.

Yes. All hire charges are payable in advance. This means that you must pay for the entire period ‘up front’. For example, if you take a six-month hire because you would like the 20% discount, you will need to pay for the full six months and at each renewal. You will always get your discount – it is not an introductory offer – it is for every hire on every unit.
If there’s anything else we can help you with, do pop in and see us or give us a ring 0118 932 8328.
No. You can come and go as you please, during our opening hours.

Yes. If you are on a monthly contract, the direct debit or credit card payment will be drawn on roughly the same date, each time.
If you have taken a quarter, half-year or year-long hire, the money will become due on roughly the same date, but at longer intervals. For example if you take out a quarterly hire in February, after the initial card payment in February, the first direct debit payment is taken on the 10th of May and then on the 10th of August and November and so on.
Because all of our payments are taken in advance and discounts are calculated on this basis, it is not possible to pay monthly for any of the longer, discounted periods.

We get asked this quite a lot, especially by customers who aren’t bringing their goods in themselves…
We need you to come and sign the contract in person, so that we can take a photo of you (for security purposes) and witness that your photo ID is valid. Although this might seem inconvenient, when you think about it, you wouldn’t want just anyone to be able to ring up or walk in and take out a contract in your name, without us verifying that it’s you and all completely above board.
You must be 18 years old or over, to hire a unit.
This is best practice recommended by the Self Storage Association and Hampshire Constabulary’s Anti Terrorism Policy. It protects us against customers who are committing identity fraud but most importantly, it protects you – we know who our customers are, we take steps to ensure that they are genuine and that as far as we can be, we are satisfied that they are using their storage unit for standard household and business storage.
We offer discounts for customers signing up for 3 months or longer. In your second or subsequent period of hire, we will refund you any unused days when you vacate.
Whenever you renew, you can change your hire term if you would like to.
