Superb facilities and friendly helpful staff. I've used them a couple of times over the last 6 years and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

"Amazing service and value, Teardrops Supporting Your Community has recently rented storage space from Fort Knox and the service was second to none. They helped me to move units when the one I had grew too small and gave me a really good deal as a charity. Without their help we could not have completed our Christmas Hamper Appeal. Thank you from all at Teardrops, we will definitely be using you again."

Nick Dyer

September 2023

"We have been using Fort Knox for a while now and their service, value and friendly nature is second to none. Using the facility for business storage, no request is ever too much and Alex and Phil are always so friendly and always smiling which is nice to see. So not only competitively priced, the facility is clean, very secure and great access, all at ground level. We cannot recommend Fort Knox enough"

Is there anything I can't store?

Common sense applies, but generally, you can store most things except for:

Compressed gases
Toxic, pollutant, or contaminated goods
Firearms, munitions, or explosives
Radioactive materials
Chemicals or biological agents
Flammable or hazardous goods
Any item emitting fumes, odour, or smell

What about insurance?

Your goods must be insured while in storage. We offer a StoreProtect Policy.

We take great care of our premises and make every effort to protect your stored items. However, certain events, like fire or flood, are beyond our control, so it’s standard practice for self-storage companies to require customers to insure their goods adequately during their stay.

What does our insurance cover?

Our insurance covers actual physical loss or damage to your property caused by: Fire, lightning, explosion, earthquake, storm, flood, burst or leaking pipes, water or liquid ingress, aircraft or articles dropped therefrom, theft accompanied by forcible and violent entry to or exit from the building or unit, riot, strike, civil commotion, malicious damage, and impact by vehicles or railway rolling stock.

If you choose to provide your own insurance, you’ll need to supply a letter or policy from the insurer specifying:

The sum insured
The cover start and end dates
Our address where your goods are stored

You must ensure your policy covers the same “Insured Perils” as detailed in Fort Knox’s Terms and Conditions. We will need to take a copy of your insurance policy and keep it on file with your lease agreement. These documents must be supplied annually as they expire.
