Frequently Asked Questions - Self Storage Thurrock
How far is Trunk Self Storage from Thurrock?
Our site is on Towers Rd, Globe Industrial Estate in Grays, within the Thurrock borough itself. From Lakeside Shopping Centre it is around 3 miles and under 10 minutes by car via the A13. Most of Thurrock, including West Thurrock, Chafford Hundred and Corringham, is a similarly short drive using the A13, A1306 or M25 Junction 30 and 31.
Should I choose indoor storage or a container in Thurrock?
Indoor rooms suit furniture, boxes and anything that benefits from a stable, weatherproof indoor environment, with access via a PIN-controlled corridor. Containers suit tools, trade stock, garden equipment and bulky items where drive-up access matters more than a climate-managed room. Many Thurrock customers use both, an indoor room for household items and a container for tools or equipment.
Do you sell shipping containers?
No, we do not sell shipping containers. We rent secure storage space inside our own steel shipping containers at two sites, Unit 53, Towers Rd, Grays and Street Farm in South Ockendon. A rented container has no purchase cost, no delivery or groundwork to arrange, and no container sitting on your own land, with drive-up access, 24/7 gated entry and flexible weekly terms.
Do you offer storage for businesses near Lakeside and West Thurrock?
Yes. Retailers and businesses near Lakeside regularly use our indoor rooms for seasonal stock and overflow inventory, and our containers for bulkier trade equipment. For pallet quantities or ongoing commercial storage, our warehousing service on the same site offers forklift access and container devanning.
Can I book Thurrock storage online without visiting first?
Yes. Both indoor rooms and containers can be checked for availability and booked instantly online, with access details sent as soon as your booking is confirmed.
