If you’re renting storage units in Bridgwater for the first time and are not sure where to start, we have common questions answered. Whether you need personal storage while decluttering at home, a business storage unit for stock and equipment, or somewhere reliable for moving house storage during a transition, having answers to your questions will relieve any worries.
Here at Your Store Bridgwater, we have been helping people across Somerset find the right storage solution since 2017. This guide covers most questions we hear from new customers – including several that come up regularly on Google, Reddit, and social platforms but rarely get a straight answer.
Self storage prices in Bridgwater depend on the size of the unit you need and how long you plan to store. We have five unit sizes available, ranging from £78 to £164 per month.
That works out from as little as £2.60 per day for a small unit. If you are storing long term, it is worth asking about discounted rates – long term storage arrangements often work out more cost-effective per month than rolling short-term lets.
If you are considering moving to a larger home purely for the extra room, a storage unit price per month is a fraction of what an extra bedroom costs in additional rent or mortgage. The same is true for businesses. A business storage unit in Bridgwater typically costs a fraction of commercial premises or warehouse space, with none of the long lease commitments or business rates.
Pricing at Your Store Bridgwater is fully transparent. Your monthly rental covers access seven days a week, CCTV security, gated entry, a free padlock, and your personal gate fob. Nothing is added without your knowledge, and our team will walk you through everything before you sign. Read our blog “Your Store Bridgwater Self Storage Prices – Our Guide” for more information.
Your initial payment is the first month’s rental fee in advance, which includes the licence fee and VAT. There is no large separate security deposit on top of this. If you cancel with seven days’ notice, any overpayment is returned to you.
Our customers store a wide range of household and business items, including furniture, boxes, tools and equipment, business stock, seasonal items, and garden furniture. Units range from 5×8 ft up to 20×8 ft, with larger units suitable for bikes, caravans, and vehicles.
For anything valuable or temperature-sensitive, ask us whether a climate-controlled option would suit better. Our post on the most common items to store in a storage unit gives a fuller breakdown.
The process is straightforward. Call us on 01278 448871, fill out the enquiry form on our contact page, or come in and speak to the team directly. You will need two forms of ID – a photo ID such as a passport or driving licence, and a proof of address such as a utility bill or bank statement. Once that is done, your first month’s payment is taken and you can move in the same day if you need to.
Access is available 7am to 9pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 8pm at weekends. You receive your own personal key fob for gate entry, so getting to your belongings is quick and straightforward whenever you need. If you lose your fob, contact us immediately so we can disable it – replacements are available from the office for £15.
Yes. If you would like a friend, family member, or colleague to be able to access your unit, let us know when you set up the rental and we can make the right arrangements. This is a common request and something we handle regularly.
Just seven days. You can give notice at any point during the month, and any overpayment is returned to you. This applies to both short term storage and longer arrangements – flexible in, flexible out.
We do not want you paying for space you are not using. If your needs change because you have more than expected or have cleared some things out, just let us know, and we will move you to the right size. Upgrading to a larger unit will adjust your monthly rental accordingly.

Motorbikes and smaller vehicles can be accommodated in appropriately sized units, and we have designated areas for larger vehicles.
