Exeter Self Storage For Any Asset

January 15, 2026    Self Storage Exeter News

Whether you’re storing family heirlooms, a prized motorbike, musical instruments, or business equipment, finding the right storage facility is crucial. At Your Store Exeter, we provide self storage in Exeter designed to protect your assets – whatever they may be. Our secure Marsh Barton storage facility offers peace of mind for Devon residents and businesses who need more than just a lock-up, they need comprehensive protection for the things that matter most.

Why Security Matters For Any Type Of Item

Storing valuable possessions isn’t the same as tucking away old boxes in the attic. High-value items require specialist security measures that standard storage simply can’t provide.
At Your Store Exeter, we’ve invested heavily in security infrastructure because we understand what’s at stake. Whether you’re storing a vintage guitar collection, antique furniture, or important business inventory, our security features include:

Access control:

Proximity-range key fobs issued exclusively to unit holders – only you (and those you authorise) can access your belongings

  • Electronically controlled entrance gates
  • Personal access codes for complete privacy

Unit security:

  • High-security, impenetrable steel construction
  • Four-lever high locking mechanisms on every unit
  • Anti-tamper locking boxes inside units

Site Protection:

  • 24/7 CCTV surveillance throughout the facility
  • Anti-climb perimeter fencing
  • On-site management staff during operating hours
  • Fully tarmacked, well-lit premises

Who Our Secure Storage Is Designed For?

Our secure storage units serve a diverse range of customers:

  • Homeowners decluttering or renovating who need to protect valuable furniture and possessions temporarily. See our moving house storage options
  • Collectors of art, antiques, wine, or memorabilia who’ve run out of display space at home
  • Musicians and bands storing instruments, amplifiers, and touring equipment between performances
  • Classic vehicle enthusiasts protecting motorcycles and cars from the elements and theft
  • Small business owners needing secure, accessible space for stock, tools, and equipment without the cost of larger premises
  • Estate executors managing inherited items that need temporary secure storage during probate
  • Students with valuable items that won’t fit in university accommodation. Our student storage is popular during term breaks and graduation

Here’s what our customers commonly store:

Artwork & Antiques

Fine art, paintings, sculptures, and antique furniture require stable, dry conditions to maintain their value. Our units provide protection from dust, moisture, and temperature fluctuations that can damage delicate pieces. If you’re a collector, dealer, or simply have inherited items too precious to risk at home, secure storage offers the perfect solution.
Storage tip: Place valuable artwork towards the back of your unit and keep an updated inventory. Read our blog “Long-term storage unit packing -what you need to know” for expert advice on protecting fragile items.

Motorbikes & Vehicles

Your pride and joy deserves better than sitting on the street exposed to weather, theft, and vandalism. Our units (up to 20ft x 8ft x 8ft) comfortably accommodate motorbikes and smaller vehicles.
Common reasons customers choose vehicle storage:

  • No garage space at home
  • Protecting classic bikes during the winter months
  • Selling a vehicle and need secure storage during the sale process
  • Seasonal storage for fair-weather vehicles

Planning to store your bike over winter? Our guide on motorcycle winter storage covers everything from oil changes to battery care.

Musical Instruments

From grand pianos and drum kits to valuable guitars, musical instruments represent significant investments – both financial and emotional. Our dry, secure units protect against the humidity and temperature changes that can warp wood, rust strings, and damage delicate mechanisms.
Whether you’re a professional musician with touring equipment, a collector of vintage instruments, or simply need temporary storage between gigs or house moves, we can help.

Jewellery & Family Heirlooms

Our anti-tamper locking boxes provide an extra layer of security for smaller items that mean the most to you. Perfect for sentimental keepsakes, important documents, and personal belongings you want to keep especially safe.
These secure boxes sit within your already-protected unit, giving you double the peace of mind.

Tips For Storing Your Items Safely

While our facility provides robust security, proper preparation helps keep your items in perfect condition:

1. Clean everything before storing – Dirt and moisture can cause long-term damage
2. Use quality packing materials – Sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and furniture covers are essential
3. Place high-value items towards the back of your unit
4. Keep an inventory – Document what you’ve stored with photographs
5. Consider insurance – Check if your home insurance covers stored items, or ask us about coverage options
6. Use desiccant packs – Silica gel packets help absorb moisture in sealed containers
7. Visit periodically – Regular checks help you spot any issues early
