Stranks Removals & Storage: Ashford's secure containerised storage facility since 1941.

Ashford Storage

Stranks Removals & Storage has been handling house moves and storage across Ashford and Kent since 1941. Our 13,000 sq ft warehouse at Wotton Trading Estate holds up to 250 containers, with fully insured containerised storage for short and long-term needs.

Whether you need short-term storage during a move or longer-term storage for business or personal belongings, Stranks Removals offers secure, flexible storage solutions to suit your needs. Our containerised storage options are designed to be straightforward, cost-effective, and fully insured for complete peace of mind.

Choosing the right storage depends on how often you’ll need access and how hands-on you want to be. We offer both containerised storage, where we take care of collection and delivery, and containerised self-storage, where you bring items to us for a slightly higher weekly rate but greater flexibility.

Why Choose Stranks for Storage in Ashford

Our Ashford storage facility is on the same Wotton Trading Estate site as our removal depot, so your belongings move directly from vehicle to container without unnecessary handling. The warehouse runs to 13,000 sq ft and holds up to 250 containers, all monitored by CCTV, intruder alarms and controlled access, and insured against fire and other risks.

Four generations of the Strank family have been in the removals and storage trade since 1941. That history shows in the detail: qualified warehouse staff, health and safety focus, and a 98% recommendation rate from 380 verified Referenceline reviews.

Containerised Storage

INCLUDED IN YOUR QUOTATION

Our containerised storage service is the ideal choice if you want a fully managed, stress-free solution. We collect your items using our professional removal vehicles, carefully inventory everything, and store your belongings securely in our containerised units. With insurance included and flexible container-based pricing, this option is perfect for house moves, renovations, or anyone who prefers not to handle transport themselves.

Cost: £13.80 per week

Containerised Self-Storage

CUSTOMER DROP-OFF

Containerised self-storage offers the same secure storage environment but gives you more control over delivery and access. You bring your items directly to us, making it a great option if you need regular access or prefer to manage transport independently. Your belongings are stored in the same insured, secure containers as our managed service, offering flexibility with a clear, simple weekly rate.

Cost £15.00 per week

Proud to be one of the most highly recommended removals companies in the UK

Julie Rhodes

The team were very professional, friendly and respectful. Carefully packed our items for storage. We made a good choice with Stranks!

Sarah Trigg

This is the third time over the years that we have used Stranks. David quoted, advised and liaised with us from the start to guide us through the process. This move itself was annoyingly prolonged due to a long key wait. We got the keys and access at 4pm in the end. At every stage of the move, Shane, Dan, Armond, John and then the other two (Joe? and another colleague) were professional, friendly and extremely hard working. They even kept their efforts up when they found that we had only gone and bought a town house! The boxes destined for 'bed 1' were like the hot potatoes that no-one wanted to end up with! Still, everything got moved to the right rooms without an issue. We wanted to review and pass on our thanks to those that made a long moving experience, so much more bearable. We would totally recommend Stranks to anyone in need of removal services.

D Stonehouse

Outstanding service from start to finish. From accommodating a very difficult long process to the team on the day, I couldn’t fault a thing. The moving guys made the day go like clockwork. Would not hesitate to recommend Stranks

Esther Denny

I’d give 10 stars to the team that helped us relocate from Kent to Cornwall. They were competent, capable, professional, accommodating, friendly and very easy to work with. I hope not to have to make such a move again but I wouldn’t hesitate in using Stranks and highly recommend their services. They helped make our move a stress free experience and worth every penny we spent and more.

Long established family business, they listen to what you need and if at all possible oblige. Sensible rates and knowledgeable caring workers. Happy to advise on the best way to get your needs sorted even recommending local man and van companies if the job is really too small for them.

Hayley Pearce
