Personal self-storage gives you a secure space to keep your belongings when you need extra room. No appointment is needed. If we are open, come and meet our team who will show you around and help you find the most cost-effective solution.

What can I store in my personal storage unit?+

You can store almost anything you would find in your home including furniture, household items, seasonal decorations, clothes, sports equipment, books, family heirlooms and appliances such as fridges and washing machines. We are here to help whether you are moving house, decluttering or renovating. Just make sure appliances are clean and dry before storing them. Our ground floor units and lift access make moving heavy items much easier.

Please note we are unable to store food, anything living, flammable substances, illegal items, or anything that could be dangerous or attract pests.

How do I know what size storage unit I need?+

We have a handy guide on our website to help estimate your space requirements, but the best way is to visit us. Our team will show you around and help you choose the smallest space possible, because we believe you should only pay for what you need. We will give you honest advice from people who have been doing this for over a century.

The cost depends on how much you need to store and many people are surprised they need less space than expected, even for a three-bedroom house. We work hard to find you the most cost-effective solution and we are competitively priced. Visit us for a proper assessment and quote.

Are there any hidden costs with GTW storage?+

No hidden costs at all. We are upfront about everything from day one and our team will explain exactly what you will pay with no surprises. That is how we have built trust with customers for over 120 years.

How secure are your storage facilities?+

Your belongings are safe with us. We have comprehensive security measures in place including CCTV monitoring and alarm systems. We are right in Glasgow’s financial district and have been trusted by customers since 1903, which speaks for itself.

When can I access my storage unit?+

You can access your unit seven days a week during our opening hours. We understand life does not always run to a nine to five schedule, so we make sure you can get to your belongings when you need them.

Do I need to sign a long-term contract?+

We keep things flexible because life is unpredictable. Whether you need storage for a few weeks during a house move or longer term while you are decluttering, we will work with whatever suits you best.

What's the process for getting started?+

Simply visit us during opening hours, no appointment needed. We will show you around, help you choose the right size unit, sort out the paperwork and you can start moving in. If you need help with moving, just let us know in advance and we can arrange assistance.

Can I store items while waiting for my new house to be ready?+

That is exactly what we are here for. House moves rarely go to plan and we have helped countless families store their belongings between moving out and moving in. Our flexible terms mean you can store for as long or as short a time as you need.

Where are you located and is parking available?+

We are located in the heart of Glasgow’s financial district and have been here since 1903. Despite being city centre, we have excellent customer parking and easy vehicle access, so getting your items to us is no trouble at all.

How to prepare your goods for storage?+

Taking a little time to prepare your belongings properly will help keep them in good condition while they are stored with us. Here are our recommendations.

Boxing and packing: Use sturdy boxes and pack items carefully. Fill any empty spaces with bubble wrap or packing paper to prevent items moving around, and label boxes clearly so you know what is inside.

Wrapping: Wrap furniture in dust sheets or furniture covers. Delicate items should be wrapped individually in bubble wrap or soft materials.

Vacuum packing: Consider vacuum packing clothes, bedding and soft furnishings to save space and protect against moisture and dust.

Appliances: Clean and dry all appliances thoroughly before storage. Leave fridge and freezer doors slightly open to prevent odours developing.

Preparation tips: Disassemble furniture where practical to save space, keep screws and fixings in clearly labelled bags, and take photos of electronic setups to help with reassembly later.

Since your items may be in storage for some time, a little preparation now will save you time and protect your belongings. If you need packing materials, we have boxes and supplies available.

Why should I choose GTW over other storage companies?+

We are a fifth generation Glasgow family business that has been trusted with people’s belongings since 1903.

We understand our customers and know you want storage that is available when you need it, helpful, flexible and easy to use. We work hard to ensure our service runs smoothly so you can get on with your life.
