Storing weapons, firearms, and ammunition in a storage unit demands strict adherence to legal and safety regulations. Many storage facilities explicitly prohibit the storage of such items to mitigate risks of accidents or theft. 

Such goods need to be stored in climate-controlled units which Loft Self Storage does not offer.

Storing perishable food items in a storage unit is strongly discouraged due to the lack of proper refrigeration and the potential for health hazards. Without adequate temperature control, perishable items can quickly spoil, leading to foul odours, mould, and attracting pests. 

Anything sealed for long term usage can be stored, for instance wine, beers, and canned foods. 

Storing large amounts of currency in a storage unit is highly discouraged and poses several risks. Firstly, most storage facility agreements explicitly prohibit the storage of cash due to the increased risk of theft and the lack of security measures compared to banks or safes.

Secondly, cash stored in such units is not insured, meaning any loss due to theft, natural disasters, or damage would result in a total financial loss with no recourse for recovery.

Storing anything combustible, flammable or hazardous of the above are considered extremely dangerous, things like paint, petrol or cleaning solutions are all potentially harmful. These include items such as:

Gasoline,Compressed gas, propane tanks, Kerosene, Lamp and motor oil, Acid, Grease, Corrosives, Fertilisers, Chemicals, Narcotics, Hazardous, toxic, or biological waste  

Asbestos or products which may contain asbestos are also not permitted – nor are fireworks or any other form of explosive.  

I think it realy goes without saying… but we have to anyway, you can’t store anything alive in our containers.

If you shouldn’t or don’t legally own it, you shouldn’t store it either. This includes illegal drugs, counterfeit tobacco, and fake or imitation items such as clothing, toys, or perfumes. Breaching this policy may result in immediate termination of your storage contract and could lead to legal action.
