Storage Options for Hythe Customers

Container Storage

Stranks uses individual container storage rather than shared warehouse space. Your belongings go into your own container, which is then stored securely in the 13,000 sq ft Ashford facility. You are not sharing space with other customers’ items, and access is controlled throughout. This suits house contents, office equipment, and anything that needs to be kept separately and safely.

Short-Term and Long-Term Storage

Stranks handles both short-term storage between a sale and a purchase, and longer-term arrangements. If you are waiting on a completion date, renovating a property, or simply need somewhere to keep items for several months, the facility and team are set up for it. Storage is sold as “Better Value Safe & Secure Storage” and the team can talk through options and pricing when you call.

Collection from Hythe

If you need your items collected from a Hythe address, the Stranks team can arrange a collection run. The Ashford depot is well placed for the Hythe area via the A20 and M20, keeping collection simple and reliable. Once collected, your items are loaded into a container and stored at the facility until you are ready for redelivery or for the next stage of your move.

Packing Before Storage

If you want your items professionally packed before they go into storage, Stranks offers full packing, partial packing, and fragile-only packing services. Items packed by the Stranks team are packed to the same standard used for long-distance moves. Read more about the benefits of using a professional removal packing service.

Moving and Storage Together

If you are selling a property and moving into temporary accommodation, or if your new home is not ready on completion day, the team can move you out, store your contents in Ashford, and redeliver when you are ready. This removes the need to coordinate two separate companies at a stressful point in a move.

Common Storage Mistakes to Avoid

  • Assuming the storage facility is in Hythe itself. Stranks’ depot is in Ashford. The team collects from Hythe, but the facility is not local to the town.
  • Booking too late in a property chain. If you are in a chain and completion dates shift, early storage booking gives you flexibility. Stranks can advise on timing when you enquire.
  • Using shared warehouse storage when you need container storage. Individual containers mean your items are not accessible to, or mixed with, other customers’ belongings.
  • Forgetting to arrange packing materials. If items go into storage unpacked, they are at more risk of damage over time. The packing services page explains what Stranks can provide.
  • Not confirming collection access in advance. Hythe properties vary in access. Let the team know about parking restrictions, narrow roads, or limited-access times when you book.
