– AI-enhanced CCTV monitoring the entire facility 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
– A fully illuminated and gated yard — well-lit and accessible only via PIN code

No Greencube team member holds a master key to your unit. Your container is accessible only by you.

Yes. Our AI-enhanced CCTV system operates continuously, including overnight and at weekends. The yard is fully illuminated at all hours, so the site is highly visible and monitored regardless of when you access it.

Yes — you provide your own padlock to secure your unit. This is a deliberate security feature: it means that only you have a key, and no one else — including Greencube staff — can access your container. If you arrive without a lock, lockboxes are available on-site.

Greencube does not provide contents insurance as part of your rental. We strongly recommend that you take out a personal contents insurance policy to cover your stored belongings. Some home insurance policies extend to items in storage — check with your provider. Specialist self-storage insurance is also widely available at low cost.

Our AI-enhanced CCTV system and gated access are specifically designed to prevent and detect incidents. In the event of any security concern, contact our team immediately on 01633 328 458 or info@greencubestorage.co.uk and we will respond promptly.

Our storage containers are accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year — including bank holidays. Your PIN code gives you gate access at any time.

Access to a unit is controlled by the padlock you supply — anyone with a key to your padlock can access your container. Greencube does not manage individual access permissions; it is your responsibility to decide who holds a key to your unit.

Greencube currently offers 20 × 8 ft storage containers — a versatile size suitable for a broad range of household and commercial storage needs. Additional sizes will be available soon. Contact us if you have a specific requirement and we’ll advise on the best available option.

A 20 × 8 ft container provides approximately 160 square feet of floor space and is large enough to hold:
– The contents of a 2–3 bedroom home (furniture, appliances, and boxes)
– Substantial business stock, inventory, or equipment
– A functional workshop or trade operation with tools and materials

Smart packing — shelving, vertical stacking, and uniform box sizes — can significantly increase how much you fit in.

You can store a very wide range of household and commercial items, including:
– Furniture, appliances, and home contents
– Boxes, clothing, books, and personal belongings
