Contents Protection Cover

We understand the importance of safeguarding your valuable possessions whilst they are in storage.

At Greenspace Self Storage, our commitment to the safety and security of your items is unwavering.  However, certain unforeseen events like fire, flood, and infestations are beyond our control. For instance, if a neighbouring customer failed to properly defrost their freezer before storing it, water leakage could damage your belongings in the storage unit.

Ordinarily, standard home insurance policies do not extend coverage to items stored away from your home address, such as in a self-storage facility. Even the few that do offer coverage often exclude various specific storage-related risks.

To ensure peace of mind for all parties, we insist that you maintain your own insurance and contents protection for the stored goods throughout your time in our self-storage facility.

Contents Protection Cover

When arranging your cover ensure it provides protection against an extensive array of potential risks. This includes but is not limited to:

• Physical loss or damage caused by burst pipes or water leakage
• Theft involving forcible entry or exit
• Damage from moths, insects, or vermin originating externally
• Fire, lightning, explosion, earthquake, storm, riot, strike, civil commotion, malicious damage, impact by vehicles and aircraft.

It is a condition of the Licence Agreement that all of the property you store is insured for its full replacement value (on a new for old basis) and that such cover is maintained at all times.

Your own insurance must cover items stored in a self-storage facility. Not all household insurance policies extend coverage to stored possessions, so you will need to verify if your policy includes self-storage protection.

Your insurance should cover goods stored in a self-storage facility and specify the storage company’s name along with the full postal address of the premises.

Maintaining valid and up-to-date storage unit insurance documentation is your responsibility.
