Why Paignton

Why Paignton customers store with us.

Paignton is caravan and motorhome country, and a lot of estates simply don't allow one parked outside the house all winter. A hardstanding pitch behind a locked gate solves that, and costs less than most people expect.

Drive-up, ground-level containers — no lifts, no trolleys
Level hardstanding pitches with wide gateways
Fully fenced and gated, floodlit, 24/7 CCTV

Family-run and local — you speak to the people who own the yard

Caravan country, with nowhere to put a caravan.

Paignton has more caravan and motorhome owners per street than almost anywhere else we serve, and it also has a lot of estates where a large touring caravan parked outside the house is either against the deeds, against the neighbours' wishes, or simply impossible on the available frontage.

The default solution — leaving it on the drive under a sheet for eight months — is the worst of both worlds. It annoys people, it makes the van an obvious target, and non-breathable covers trap moisture against the bodywork and cause exactly the damp damage owners are trying to avoid.

A hardstanding pitch solves all three at once, and the sums are less painful than most people expect. It also means you're not manoeuvring a twin-axle off a domestic driveway every time you want to use it — the yard has wide gateways and level ground, so hitching up is a five-minute job rather than an ordeal involving jacks, chocks and a neighbour's patience.

What Paignton stores with us

The things people round here actually need space for.

Caravans and motorhomes

Level hardstanding, wide gateways and easy turning — off the drive and out of the neighbours' eyeline.

Boats and trailers

Stored securely between seasons, a short tow from the harbour and the slipways.

Holiday park and seasonal businesses

Somewhere to put the off-season stock, furniture and equipment when the site shuts down.

House moves

The usual chain problems — a container bridges the gap between moving out and moving in.

When Paignton tends to call us.

Pitches move fastest in September and October, as the touring season ends and everyone reaches the same conclusion about the caravan on the drive at the same time. If you want a pitch for the winter it is genuinely worth ringing in late summer rather than after the first bad forecast. The other Paignton pattern is the holiday-let and seasonal-business clear-down over the same months, and a steady flow of house-move storage year-round.

Getting here

Finding us from Paignton.

From Paignton it's out through Preston and up the A380 towards Newton Abbot, turning off at Kingskerswell. The approach is on decent roads the whole way, which matters when you're towing a twin-axle caravan rather than driving a car.

FAQs

Storage in Paignton — your questions.

How far is SOS Storage from Paignton?

About fifteen minutes. We're on Old Newton Road, Kingskerswell — up the A3022 and A380 towards Newton Abbot.

Do you take twin-axle caravans?

Yes. The pitches are level hardstanding with wide gateways, so twin-axles turn in and out without jacks, chocks or churned-up mud.

How early should I book a winter caravan pitch?

Late summer if you can. September and October are the busiest weeks of the year for pitches, because everyone in Paignton reaches the same decision about the caravan at the same time.

Can I store the caravan and its awning and gear together?

Plenty of customers take a pitch for the van plus a 10ft container alongside for the awning, outdoor furniture and everything that would otherwise fill the garage all winter.

What size container do I need?

Our containers are 5ft (5 x 8 x 9ft), 10ft (10 x 8 x 9ft) and 20ft (20 x 8 x 8ft). As a rule of thumb a 5ft holds a single room's worth of things, a 10ft holds roughly a one-bedroom flat's worth of furniture, and a 20ft holds a three-bedroom home. Note the 5ft and 10ft are 9ft high, a foot taller inside than the 20ft. If you're unsure, tell us what you're storing and we'll match you up.

Is the site secure?

Yes — the yard is fully fenced with a gated entrance and 24/7 CCTV across the site. You keep the only key to your padlock.

What are the minimum stay terms?

Standard rates are based on a 3-month minimum. We can do shorter periods at a slightly different rate — just ask.

How do I pay?

A £50 refundable deposit (which covers the padlock) plus your first month is paid on the day you move in. Bank transfer or cash, whichever you prefer.
