Self Storage in Oxford

We've recently taken delivery of some new 20ft storage containers to increase capacity on our secure storage site in Chalgrove. These containers are proving very popular with small businesses and people who want to store their personal possessions. You can drive straight up to these units making it very easy to unload; they also come with lock boxes for added security. 

All of these containers were built in 2013 in China and shipped direct to our storage site in Chalgrove, Oxfordshire.

New Year – Time to Have A Clear Out?

The start of the New Year, for many people, is a time to make new year’s resolutions we rarely keep, make plans for the year ahead and have that all important new year clear out. We’re all guilty of accumulating quite a lot of clutter over the Christmas period and for many people the New Year is the ideal time to de-clutter their house.



It’s great to get rid of all those unwanted items that are hanging around your home but you’re sure to find there are many things you can no longer fit in your home but you just can’t bring yourselves to get rid of. If this is the case in your home, it may be worthwhile considering a self storage unit to keep your treasured belongings.

Whether its antique furniture passed on from a family member, or items from your childhood that you just cant bear to part with or just the fact that you cannot possible fit anything else in your loft or garage.

At Barretts Self Storage all of our units are are individually locked and we have CCTV covering the whole the site. You can access your items in storage anytime during our opening hours which are 8.30am till 5pm Monday to Friday and Saturday mornings 9 till 12.

We have a range of units available from 40 square foot to 360 squrare foot or we can just store a single box for you.

If you would like any more information on any of our storage storage, please contact us on 01865 891406 or email us at info@barretts-selfstorage.co.uk

VAT On Self Storage Changes

On the 1st October 2012 Budget tax changes came into effect meaning that most self storage companies had to increase their storage prices by 20 per cent.

VAT, which is currently charged at the standard rate of 20%, hasn’t previously been levied on self storage rentals because self storage was treated in the same way as commercial property lending by the tax authorities. Under the previous tax arrangements, the lending of any kind of land, including rental property, was exempt from VAT. Self storage providers allocate their customers with a discrete area of land and so their supply can qualify for VAT exemption.

Providers of other types of storage (such as traditional removal companies) which do not provide their customers with a discrete area and are able to move their customers' goods around within their premises, already have to charge VAT on their rental charges. 
Around 30 per cent of self storage is currently taxed because of the option to tax. Some self storage providers have never opted to tax but those that do are able to reclaim VAT on the costs of constructing or purchasing their storage facilities. Some self storage providers have used avoidance arrangements to convert their taxable supplies back to exempt supplies, gaining an unfair advantage over their competitors.

This measure was announced at Budget 2012 and a consultation document entitled VAT: Addressing Borderline Anomalies was published together with draft legislation. HMRC estimates that charging VAT on self storage will generate an additional £15 million for the treasury during the 2012-13 tax year, which they forecast will have risen to £30 million by 2013-14.

Barretts Self Storage has always charged VAT so we will not be increasing our prices by 20%

Barretts Self Storage provides the best prices in the region for Self Storage, so if you have been affected by a price rise, as a result of the introduction of VAT then please contact us for a quotation.
