Downsize without compromise: how to store vital personal or business items in safe, secure units in Leyland, Lancashire

This Leyland firm has storage solutions for individuals and businesses

Most of us find storage space in short supply, both at home and at work … but this Lancashire brother-and-sister business think they offer the perfect solution

Tortoise Storage in Leyland offers the chance to declutter or even downsize, without compromise.

The firm was started by Lancashire’s John Holcroft and his sister Emma Whittle, when they added the site at 83 Bison Place, Leyland, offering up to 120 storage units for rent, to their existing facility in Knowsley.

They know just how much people treasure their belonging and their memories, even when they are running out of space at home. That’s one of the reasons their storage units are so popular.

Need to store vital stock off-site in secure premises?

For personal use

John said: “We’ve got units to suit everyone. There are those which are roughly the size of a small garden shed, and we find people use them for seasonal storage – for example, keeping the Christmas tree, decorations and suitcases in when they are not needed, or once summer has passed to store things like lawnmowers and gardening equipment.

“This size of unit is also great for general personal storage – it costs less than you might think, and certainly is a lot cheaper than moving home just to get some extra storage space.”

Of course, much larger units are also available to domestic customers, and prove very popular when people are either downsizing or need to store their entire home’s contents between house moves.

Got too much stuff but can’t bear to part with it?

And with access available via a secure keycode entry system 365 days a year, having your own secure and watertight storage is accessible too.

Business logistics

Running a business comes with many overheads, but why make renting or buying an unnecessarily large building one of them? If you need somewhere off-site to securely store your stock it lets your front-of-house premises – whether that’s a shop, office or workshop - be compact and affordable. And with long term rates particularly attractive at Tortoise Storage, it offers a flexible business model which lets firms scale up or down depending on their business storage needs.

Safe and secure

Available for long term storage – perfect for businesses – or seasonal needs to free up space in your home

Tortoise Storage units are kept behind reassuringly tight security, with money being invested by John and Emma to ensure the standard of service is excellent.

There are plenty of new security cameras, shutters, secure doors and keypad entry, making it safer than most homes or office spaces.

John added: “We are committed to offering an immaculate storage facility in an extremely secure location. We think our location, our security measures and our seven day a week access makes us stand out from the crowd.

“And we are a family run business. We not only do things right, we are there for our customers when they need us – we’d be delighted to share a cuppa and talk through any potential customers’ needs, to make sure we can deliver what they want at an affordable price.”

Minimal rental

Units are available to rent by the month, but anyone who commits to a year or more will be offered a discount. Whatever you need, John, Emma and manager Louise Power can help with year-round, reliable, accessible storage.
