Plymouth Container Storage

Plymouth Container Storage is a self storage facility in Plymouth owned by the Putnam family. In 2019, the business won the Herald Family Business of the Year award and was a finalist for the Western Morning News Family Business of the Year award.

It offers 8ft, 20ft and 40ft containers on short term and long term rentals. The service area includes Plymouth, Plymstock, Yealmpton, Sparkwell, Lee Mill, Ivybridge and Plympton. The business uses Securi Guard for out-of-hours security. It provides container storage for personal and business use.

Plymouth Container Storage has built a reputation on straightforward, secure container hire that suits both domestic moves and commercial needs. Customers in several reviews describe the units as clean, watertight and well maintained, with hard standing across the site and no mud underfoot. Reviewers often mention the simplicity of signing up and the ease of paying online, noting that enquiries are answered promptly and that communication before and after booking is strong.

The team comes across as friendly and genuinely helpful, with one customer pleased that a specific unit was reserved in advance and another glad to buy a compatible lock on site. Flexibility is a recurring theme: people downsizing to a smaller container or needing round-the-clock access to equipment between trips abroad value being able to come and go as they please, reassured by CCTV monitoring.

Value for money features often, with customers describing rates that felt under budget and praise for a local, family-run operation that takes pride in its work. Others highlight the clean condition of the containers and the ease of pulling up to load or unload. Tenants also note the calm, tidy yard and pleasant interactions with neighbouring users on the rare occasions paths cross.
