Been caught out by someone else’s small print before? Most people who go looking for storage terms have already been caught out by something else. A tenancy that ran long. A gym that kept billing after the cancellation. A phone contract with a clause they missed. By the time they type “self storage notice period” […]
Why build a storage company in a market town instead of a city? When we first started planning Wigwam, the obvious move would have been to find a big industrial unit off a city ring road. Cities have density. Cities have footfall. Cities are where the self-storage industry told you to go if you wanted […]
The familiar names all pointed everywhere but Shipston — why? You searched. The names you recognised were not there. Coventry, Oxford, Birmingham – the results pointed everywhere except here. It is a strange feeling, looking for something ordinary and finding a gap. Self storage is not exactly a rare commodity in the UK. There are […]
Searched Chipping Norton for storage and found nothing for miles? Last reviewed: June 2026 · 9 min read · Written for Chipping Norton residents, businesses, and surrounding-village readers.

The butcher’s still there — so why isn’t the storage? When you move to a market town, you expect to find the same things you had before: a decent butcher, a post office, a GP surgery, and somewhere sensible to put your overflow. The butcher is there. The storage is not, or at least not […]
Why does Cheltenham fill its storage units before every Gold Cup? Every quarter, without fail, the Cheltenham, Gloucestershire units fill up before the Gold Cup and thin out a few weeks after the Science Festival. I have watched that rhythm for long enough now to stop being surprised by it. The question worth asking is […]
Where can a parent’s furniture go, legally, before the house sells? Nobody plans for the moment you walk into a parent’s house and realise you are now responsible for every object in it. The furniture, the china, the books stacked on the sideboard, the coats still hanging by the door. You are grieving, and someone […]
Has the business finally outgrown the spare room? Most UK e-commerce founders we work with start in a spare room and hit a wall around £5,000 to £8,000 in monthly revenue. That’s when stock volume, returns, and packaging finally outgrow the space the rest of the household is willing to give. Here’s what’s actually happening […]
Worried something in your boxes will get you turned away at the unit? Most people come to us with the same worry. They have a van to fill, a moving date approaching, and a nagging feeling there might be something in there that will cause a problem. It is a reasonable worry. The last thing […]
Customer Reviews
Lovely clean place and the app was faultless.
Highly recommended.
Once contract in place very easy app use to access site and unit, very clear easy to follow instructions. Very happy and would definitely recommend
Very easy access with parking right outside the door.
Plenty of trolleys, so no need for muscles ! It maybe a little more expensive than some others, BUT the cleanliness & ease of use perfect.
The staff are VERY patient, explaining how each unit works.
It is great to know the manned office hours & how to make contact if not.
Plenty of accessible hours too.
Ps.... they do like a biscuit or 2 in the office I hear !
Units were good and secure.
only critisms - lights turned off automatically too quickly and no onsite toilet.
