We're not near Kingskerswell — we're in it. The yard sits on Old Newton Road, which for most of the village is a two-minute drive rather than a trip out to a trading estate.
SOS Storage is a family-run storage yard on Old Newton Road, Kingskerswell, TQ12 5LB. We rent 5ft containers at £96 a month, 10ft containers at £125 a month, 20ft containers at £180 a month and outdoor hardstanding pitches for caravans, motorhomes and boats at £120 a month, all including VAT. The site is fully fenced and gated with 24/7 CCTV, and you can get to your unit every day of the year between 7:30am and 8:30pm.
Being local changes how you use storage. When the unit is five minutes from the house you stop treating it as a place you visit twice a year and start using it properly — the seasonal stuff, the tools, the boxes that are clogging the spare room.
Kingskerswell spent decades as the bottleneck between Newton Abbot and Torquay, with the A380 grinding through the middle of it. Since the link road took the through-traffic out of the village, getting about locally has been a different experience entirely — and that includes nipping up to Old Newton Road with a car full of boxes on a Saturday morning.
That proximity changes what storage is for. When a unit is twenty miles away you visit it twice: once to fill it, once to empty it. When it's five minutes from your front door it becomes an extension of the house — the place the Christmas decorations live, where the golf clubs go in winter, where the spare-room furniture sits while your daughter is home from university.
We are a Kingskerswell business storing things for Kingskerswell people, which also means you're not dealing with a call centre. If there's a problem with your unit, the person you speak to can walk out and look at it.
Reclaim the garage for the car, or the spare room for guests, without driving miles to get to your things.
Pack the house down while the builders are in, then bring it back a room at a time.
A level hardstanding pitch a couple of minutes from home, instead of a caravan on the drive all winter.
Tools, stock and equipment stored securely without renting a full commercial unit.
Two patterns stand out locally. The first is renovation — a lot of Kingskerswell housing stock is at the age where kitchens, bathrooms and loft conversions come round, and living in a building site is far easier when half the furniture is elsewhere. The second is the annual squeeze of family life: a caravan that needs to be off the drive, a grown-up child moving back for a few months, a garage that has slowly stopped being able to hold a car.
