HI storage at the big 24/7 one in Edinburgh had restrictions on certain stuff being stored so check they okay with it,purdies at blackburn need to give notice to go see your items other places similar, it might be worth going to a local farmer ask if they would let you store stuff in one of there areas as know some of them let out space to folk but charges and condition of storage is basic worth checking, check gumtree as i think i saw a container place who let folk store in there grounds again condition of container  is questionable but if you follow suggestions on how to wrap and pack stuff it might be okay.

We used a company called Lok’nStore to store the contents of Ma-in-Law’s house for about 8 months.
Good service, clean, safe and very secure. Temperature controlled, and even the smallest unit took a surprising amount of stuff.
Cost about £1100 for 2 Units. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the opening hours were pretty good.
I’d use them again if I needed to.
There were restriction on certain things, but mainly stuff like inflammable liquids.

I'll definitely look into insurance as well

If you store car parts inside the car, or very close to a car awaiting restoration, then surely they would be covered by the car's insurance? If in a separate lock-up, it would need separate insurance.

Good to know, I was looking at a Lok n store just down the road from the house, not the cheapest but if they're good   

I'm looking at flats at the minute and found one with a decent sized spare bedroom... If that's available it may be a moot point

It may be all very well storing your spares in the vehicle, thinking/hoping your insurance will cover them.

 
Maybe ... maybe not

I bet there's an excess you'll have to pay and an upper limit.
You'd be surprised how much the cost to replace your inventory will be.

Best to certain, and specifically check that your parts are insured to their full value.
Photographs of the boxes etc. will help support your claim.

Hi,

My mate rented a lock-up garage for "courting" purposes. £2 per month.

Try finding a place that does caravan storage, or even car storage, with "security" (locked gates and watchman.

What price a van (5cwt? 15cwt?), taxed and insured to park in the road. You could even drive it to work every now and then.

Yikes! How things have changed. In the early 1960s, I was paying fifteen shillings (£0.75) per week, for a lock-up garage, while I shoved the engine and gearbox from a 1936 Vauxhall 10 into a 1931 L-type MG Magna. The MG cost me £35 , and the Vauxhall £5. I doubt that I could afford a scrap pre-war MG nowadays.

Point to consider then if you take components off a vehicle for repair or servicing and put them inside or keep next to the vehicle.

Bob is stored in secure compound with 24 hour access at £10 a week, so I feel it would be cheaper to just park a trailer or van with the bits in, assuming your insurer will insure it? What not ask them for advice?
No room in the loft? Extra shed?
