What locals store
How Dewsbury uses MB Storage
Dewsbury customers are mostly moving house between sales, clearing space during renovations, or market and online traders who need somewhere secure for stock a short hop from home. With 24/7 phone-entry access you can call at the container on the way to or from town whenever suits.
Every container comes with a high-quality padlock, sits behind gates with 24/7 motion-sensing CCTV, and opens on rolling monthly terms with just 14 days' notice. Questions? See our FAQs or read what fits in a 20ft container.
Sizes
Storage units near Dewsbury - 20ft, 8ft and indoor
Batley is the only one of our four yards that offers all three, which matters if a 20ft container is more space than you actually need.
- 20ft containers - about 160 sq ft, roughly a single garage. Takes a two to three bedroom house including white goods.
- 8ft containers - about 65 sq ft. Right for a one-bed flat, a garage clear-out, or a few pallets of stock. Batley only, and numbers are limited.
- Indoor units - from small storerooms up to 2,700 sq ft of warehouse space, for businesses that need shelving, a bench or somewhere to pick orders from.
If you're not sure which way to go, the 20ft size guide lays out what fits, and we'd rather talk you into a smaller unit than take money for space you won't use.
Parking and access
Getting a van in at Greenhill Mills
Greenhill Mills is a working industrial yard rather than a converted shop unit, so there's hard standing throughout and enough room to swing a Luton or a 7.5 tonne lorry round to the container doors. You park at your own unit and load straight off the tailgate - no lift, no corridor, no trolley, and no booking a loading bay for a two-hour slot. Removal firms know the site and are used to getting in and out of it.
Access runs 24 hours a day on a gate you open from your phone, so if the only time you can shift boxes is nine at night after work, that's fine. The office is staffed Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm and weekends 10am to 6pm if you'd rather have someone about the first time you come.
Getting here
The route in from Ravensthorpe, Savile Town and Thornhill
From Dewsbury town centre it's Bradford Road (A652) north towards Batley, then right onto Grange Road - under ten minutes, and it holds up even at school-run time. From Ravensthorpe and Savile Town, cut through on Mill Street East and you barely touch a main road; allow twelve minutes. Thornhill and Earlsheaton come in on the A644 and A653 in about fifteen. Chickenley and Shaw Cross are closer to twelve on the A653.
If you're coming off the motorway, J40 of the M1 or J27 of the M62 both feed onto the A652 and put you at the gate in ten minutes or so.
Quick answers
Dewsbury storage questions
Is there a storage facility in Dewsbury itself?
Not one of ours, no - and that's worth knowing before you drive around looking. The nearest container storage to Dewsbury town centre is our Batley yard on Grange Road, about two miles out. Several big-name facilities appear in Dewsbury searches but sit eight or nine miles away in Leeds or Huddersfield, so check the postcode before you book anything.
Do you have 8ft containers, or only 20ft?
Batley is the only one of our four yards with 8ft containers, and it's the one that serves Dewsbury. An 8ft is about 65 sq ft - right for a one-bed flat, a garage clear-out or a few pallets of stock. Numbers are limited, so if you want one it's worth asking early rather than assuming.
How much deposit do I need to pay?
A refundable deposit is taken with your first payment - £75 on an 8ft container and £150 on a 20ft. It comes back to you in full when you leave, provided the container is emptied and left as you found it. It isn't rent in advance and it isn't a fee.
How much notice do I have to give to leave?
Fourteen days, and it runs from the day we receive it rather than to the end of the month. Rent runs by the calendar month, so if you're planning to go it's worth giving notice at least 14 days before the month end - see our terms for exactly how that works.
Can I get a van or a Luton into the yard?
Yes. Greenhill Mills is a proper industrial yard with hard standing and room to turn, so a Luton or a 7.5 tonne lorry is no problem, and you can reverse right up to the container doors. There's no lift, no corridor and no loading bay to book - you park at your unit.
