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.
