Storage Containers — Northamptonshire
Storage container space to rent near Northampton and Daventry
Five 40ft storage containers available now at Grovelands Business Park, East Haddon — ten miles from Northampton and seven from Daventry. £40 a week, rented by the week with no minimum term. 24/7 access, CCTV monitored, open to businesses and individuals.
Secure container storage near Northampton
Grovelands Business Park is located just off the West Haddon Road in East Haddon, Northamptonshire — ten minutes from the A5 and close to junction 18 of the M1. Our storage containers are well placed for businesses and individuals across Northampton, Daventry, Rugby, Towcester and the wider county.
Each 40ft steel storage container offers a large, weatherproof space on a secure, managed site. Whether you need to store business stock, tools, equipment, archive material or personal belongings, renting a storage container at Grovelands gives you straightforward, reliable access without the cost of a dedicated warehouse.
Our containers are treated internally with Grafo-Therm, an anti-condensation coating applied to the roof and walls. It absorbs moisture from the air inside the container and releases it gradually as the container ventilates, helping to protect stored goods from damp and drip damage — particularly useful for anyone storing stock, paperwork, furniture or equipment over the longer term.
Who rents our storage containers?
Our containers are used by a wide range of customers across Northamptonshire — from local tradespeople and small businesses needing somewhere to keep tools and materials, to larger companies storing stock or equipment between projects. We also rent to individuals who need extra space during a house move or renovation.

What's included
- 40ft steel storage container — approximately 2,400 cubic feet of space
- 24/7 access — come and go at any time, any day
- CCTV monitoring by a professional surveillance company
- Secure, managed business park setting
- Hardstanding concrete area with parking directly alongside your container
- Ample space on site for vans, lorries and larger vehicles
- Grafo-Therm anti-condensation coating to protect stored goods
How big is a 40ft container, and what fits inside?
A standard 40ft steel container gives you roughly 305 sq ft of floor space and about 2,400 cubic feet in total — around 40ft long, 8ft wide and 8ft 6in high, with double doors at one end roughly 7ft 8in wide.
In practice, that is a lot more room than most people picture. As a rough guide, one container will take:
- Around 20 standard pallets stood on the floor, more if you stack
- Typically the contents of a three to four bedroom house during a move or renovation
- A full trade fit-out — tools, materials, ladders, small plant and a van's worth of stock
- Several hundred archive boxes, kept dry by the anti-condensation lining
If you are weighing a container against a self-storage unit, the comparison worth making is cost per square foot and access. A 305 sq ft container at £40 a week works out at roughly £6.80 per sq ft a year — and you can drive a van straight up to the doors at three in the morning if you need to, without booking a slot or passing through a reception.
Storage units for Daventry businesses
Daventry is the closest town to Grovelands at roughly seven miles — about fifteen minutes by road, and a shorter run than most Daventry businesses would face getting to a self-storage site in Northampton or Rugby.
That matters most for trades and small businesses working around Daventry and the NN11 postcodes, where a container is somewhere to keep tools, stock and materials between jobs rather than a place visited once a month. With 24/7 access and hardstanding right up to the doors, loading a van at six in the morning is no different from doing it at midday.
We also take enquiries from Long Buckby, West Haddon, Crick, Weedon and the villages in between — all within a fifteen minute drive.
Pricing
£40 per week, per container. No minimum term. You rent by the week and stop when you no longer need it — there is no fixed contract to sign and no long tie-in, which is unusual for storage of this size.
No hidden charges, no admin fee, no deposit to argue about later. If you need more than one container, get in touch and we will talk it through.
Availability
We currently have five storage containers available to rent in Northamptonshire. If you need more than one, that's no problem — get in touch to discuss. Demand for storage containers in the Northampton and Daventry area can move quickly, so it's worth making an enquiry sooner rather than later.
