Aberdeen Self Storage

Self storage in Aberdeen for individuals and businesses

Aberdeen Self Storage is a storage company based in the Scottish city of Aberdeen, part of the GB Liners group. It offers individual containers and indoor units on flexible rental terms, both short and long term, for domestic and business customers. The company states it has over 30 years of experience in the sector.

Two types of storage

The company distinguishes between indoor and outdoor storage. At its Dyce facility, it has brand new purpose-built indoor units, ranging in size from 16 to 200 sq ft, designed for storing furniture, personal belongings, stock or business documents. Trolleys and barrows are available free of charge and access is permitted during opening hours.

Outdoor storage is organised in individual containers that customers can drive right up to, with no need for trolleys or waiting. The company describes this format as easy and secure access.

Storage services

The service catalogue includes car and motorbike storage, household storage, student storage, furniture storage, archive storage and flexible storage units. The company notes that these services cover needs such as decluttering your home, moving between homes, inherited goods or storage during studies.

Facilities and security

The company states that its facilities have steel perimeter fencing and CCTV coverage throughout. It has recently upgraded the fire protection system and security systems at its indoor facility. The containers, according to the company, are ISO approved and specially modified with protected air vents, high security door mechanisms and wooden flooring inside.

Advice and packing materials

The Aberdeen Self Storage team offers storage advice and helps customers determine whether their items are suitable for storage. The company also provides packing materials such as large boxes for clothes and bedding, smaller boxes for books or CDs, bubble wrap, tape and padlocks.

Space guide and site visit

The website includes a space calculator as a guide to choosing the right unit size. The company invites you to make a no-obligation visit to its facilities, where staff can show the different options and help you select the most suitable one.

The site displayed a limited-time offer: a 20ft outdoor container for £168 per month, including VAT, and a 10ft one for £108 per month, including VAT, with instructions to call and mention the offer.

Two locations in Aberdeen

The company operates from two locations in Aberdeen: the Dyce facility, at Kirkhill Place, within the Kirkhill Industrial Estate, and the Portlethen site, at Barclayhill Place, which shares space with Clark and Rose Removals. Self storage in Portlethen began in June 2020 and has since expanded considerably.

Part of the GB Liners group

Aberdeen Self Storage is part of the GB Liners family of companies, a removals company founded in Brighton in 1923 that has become a national company with 11 branches in the UK. In 2015, GB Liners Aberdeen took over ownership of Clark and Rose and developed the business in Aberdeen both in removals and self storage.
