New Self Storage Facility Now Unlocked in Gloucester!

Dainton Self Storage, one of the UK's leading storage providers, have opened their thirteenth storage facility in Gloucester, England.

​Dainton Self Storage are proud to announce that their fantastic new self storage facilities on  Bristol Road in Gloucester are now open!


The two acre site was purchased by Dainton in 2014 and has received a £750,000 investment to bring much needed domestic and commercial storage facilities to the area.

We are really excited about opening our thirteenth site in Gloucester. Due to a fairly buoyant property market, more compact homes being built and lots of new and small businesses starting up, self storage is enjoying healthy growth in the UK. We believe Gloucester is very much under-represented by the industry and our new site is fantastically located within two miles of both the town centre and M5.

Paul Maddicott, Managing Director


The site was previously owned by Hempstead Gas Works from the early 1960's until being decommissioned in the early 1970's. The site remained derelict until remediation work to remove contamination began in 2011.  


Speaking on behalf of Dainton Self Storage, Managing Director Paul Maddicott said “We are really excited about opening our thirteenth site in Gloucester.  Due to a fairly buoyant property market, more compact homes being built and lots of new and small businesses starting up, self storage is enjoying healthy growth in the UK. We believe Gloucester is very much under-represented by the industry and our new site is fantastically located within two miles of both the town centre and M5.”


Gloucester Self Storage Manager, Charles Richards added “I'm confident that our new storage services will prove popular and I would like to invite anyone who is considering self storage now or in the future, to pop in and join me for coffee and biscuits when I will be pleased to personally show them our new storage facilities and take them through all the added benefits of choosing Dainton.”


The idea of self storage units is thought to have started in China around 6,000 years ago.  However, it wasn't until the 1960's that self storage became popularised in America before coming across the seas to the UK in the 1980's.
Self storage units provide a popular, safe and secure storage solution that customers can access whenever they want, making them ideal for domestic and commercial use. They can be used to store almost anything and are great for decluttering your home by freeing up space or for storing stock, tools, equipment and archives from your business.  


Self storage units are so popular that even celebrities are avid users. Burt Reynolds, Aretha Franklin and Paris Hilton to name but a few, have had self storage units in America to store clothes, film artefacts and documents etc. Recently, 250 previously unreleased Michael Jackson songs were discovered in a unit reportedly seized as a result of debt collection.  The popularity of the concept of renting a self storage unit has grown to such an extent that we are now even enjoying watching programmes on TV like Storage Wars
Dainton's storage solutions offer flexible access at no extra charge with security and peace of mind  provided by staff on site during Reception opening hours, 24 hour CCTV and electronic gates. The facility is also able to store caravans, motor homes and other vehicles.  

As an early bird booking, Dainton are offering new customers 50% off any self storage unit for the first 8 weeks!
