Containerised Storage Daventry | Alltranz Removals
Alltranz Removals provides containerised storage from our depot at Long March Industrial Estate, Broad March, Daventry NN11 4HE. We are Road Haulage Association members, Move Assured accredited, and hold an International CPC alongside a Waste Carriers Licence. This is not self storage: your goods go into a gated, alarmed compound with 24-hour CCTV and staffed access. No padlock, no key, no unattended unit.
Why choose Alltranz for containerised storage
Most storage operators hand you a padlock and a postcode. Alltranz runs its storage operation to the same logistics standard as its removals fleet: goods are documented before loading, containers are numbered, and every item in our care appears on a written receipt you keep. The compound at Broad March is fenced, monitored by smoke detectors, fire alarms and 24-hour CCTV, and access is staffed rather than open. Our fleet runs satnav, trackers and dash cams.
We are a family-run Daventry business. You are dealing with a person, not a job title.
What our containerised storage includes
When you book storage with Alltranz, your goods are itemised and documented before they go into a container. You receive a written receipt listing everything in our care. The container is then padlocked and protected by sensor alarms inside a compound with security fencing, smoke detection and 24-hour CCTV.
What's included
8ft, 10ft and 20ft shipping containers matched to your volume at survey stage
Internal crates for smaller loads or individual items
Archive storage for business documents and files
Written itemised receipt for all goods in our care
Staffed access to your container by arrangement
Smoke detectors, fire alarms, sensor alarms and 24-hour CCTV throughout the compound
Office space to rent at the Long March Industrial Estate site (subject to availability)
Racking for commercial customers storing stock or equipment
What's NOT included
Open self-access: visits to your container are by arrangement with our team, not drop-in
Cleaning, clearance or disposal of stored goods
Climate-controlled units: our containers are standard shipping-grade, not temperature-regulated
Removals transit insurance beyond goods-in-transit cover: speak to us at survey stage if you need declared-value cover for high-value items
Who this is for
Containerised storage at Alltranz suits customers whose move does not run A to B in a straight line. A chain gap between selling and buying is the most common reason: you exchange on your sale before you complete on your purchase, and you need somewhere secure for your belongings in between. Renovation periods, delayed completions, and international relocations are equally common use cases. On the commercial side, businesses between premises, downsizing offices, or holding seasonal stock use our racking and commercial containers.
Storage can be booked as part of a full Alltranz removal or as a standalone booking. For the full range of storage services at our Daventry depot, see our storage solutions page.

Storage between house moves: what to expect

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes of containerised storage do you offer in Daventry?
We hold 8ft, 10ft and 20ft shipping containers at our Broad March depot. The right size is confirmed at survey stage once we know your volume. Most household contents from a three-bedroom property fit comfortably into a 20ft container. Smaller loads, single rooms or business archive files typically suit an 8ft or 10ft unit. We also offer internal crates for individual items or partial loads.
Is your Daventry storage open-access or staffed?
Staffed access. This is not a self-storage facility where you collect a key and visit whenever you like. Access to your container is by arrangement with our team. The compound at Long March Industrial Estate is gated, fenced, monitored by 24-hour CCTV, and protected by smoke detectors, fire alarms and sensor alarms. We document everything going in and issue a written receipt. You deal with a person, not an automated entry system.
How long can I store my belongings between house moves?
As long as you need. Short-term storage covers chain gaps and delayed completions, typically one to eight weeks. Longer-term storage suits renovation periods, international relocations or a business waiting on new premises. Storage can be booked alongside a full Alltranz removal or as a standalone service. Contact us on 01327 876007 or use the contact form to discuss your dates.
Can you collect my belongings and bring them to the Daventry depot, then deliver to my new address?
Yes. Our crews can collect from your current property, load directly into a container at Broad March, and deliver to your new address when you are ready. This is the standard process for customers using storage as part of a house move with Alltranz. If you are using storage as a standalone booking, we can arrange a separate collection and delivery run.
Can businesses use your containerised storage in Daventry?
Yes. We store office contents, archive files, stock, racking and equipment for business customers. Commercial storage can be booked alongside an office or warehouse removal with Alltranz, or as a standalone service. Office space is also available to rent at the Long March Industrial Estate site, subject to availability. Contact us on 01327 876007 to discuss your requirements.
