Can anyone advise on storage in the UK?
We are off to Brisbane in July (all going well). Have any of you out there any recommendations/advice on storage companies please? We live in Brighton/Hove.

You need to use a reputanle company. I stored stuff somyears ago with a local outfit because they were cheaper. When I retrieved it 9 months later, all my power tools had been nicked.
If I were you I'd go with Big Yellow - national company with good reputation -and a branch in Brighton.

Will the company you are using to ship your stuff to Oz not store it for you? Crown are storing our contents free of charge for 6 weekd prior to shipping and then their weekly/monthly rates are quite competative too. As we are moving into my mums on 24th June this means Crown are coming to export pack our belongings on 22nd and 23rd June.

Would you mind letting me have Crown's contact details. I did a search on the internet and came up with zilch.
We're being quoted hectic rates for storage prior to shipping.

Just contact your nearest branch by phoning or e-mail - I e-mailed and got a quick response - you might have to wait until Monday now. They will send somebody round to estimate the volume of what you are shipping - some people only get offered 4 weeks free storage so make it clear you are loking for at least 6 weeks - with Crown is worked for me.
