Kent Storage Canberra: The Safest Choice
We work hard to make sure your belongings are kept safe in our buildings, unlike self-storage:
- We do not allow the public to enter our storage facilities; this is in sharp contrast to leaving your things in self-storage facilities, which are shared buildings that anyone could enter.
- We create detailed documentation for your records at home; we provide inventory and condition reports as well as receipts and dispatch records. With self-storage, it’s up to you to make and maintain these records for your benefit.
- Our facilities have greater security demands than self-storage, bolstered by the fact that they are private buildings with limited authorised entry.
- We only use sealed storage containers, unlike self-storage units that use large-diametre wire meshes in their boxes. These gates provide more of an illusion of security as pests and climate threats can still pass through.
- We only build our purpose-built containers with reinforced steel, storing them inside our buildings secured by 24/7 CCTV monitoring. Reputable self-storage facilities may use CCTV but are still lax in other areas of security.
- Our professional packers have expert training to safely transport and store your belongings anywhere in Canberra or Australia. With self-storage, you don’t have the safety of expert help, which means it’s all up to you to figure out.
Kent’s Unique Four-Level Security System
Over the years, Kent Storage has refined its unique four-level security system to keep your belongings safe. We respect the trust our customers have placed in us, so we offer this sophisticated protection to everyone. As long as you trust us to protect your things, we will prioritise doing precisely that.
Security Level One: Customised Wrapping
The first level of protection comes in the form of our guardian wrapping system, which includes:
- Boxes built with the intention of protecting items in transit
- Professional packers with expert industry training
- The use of professional packing blankets built to protect large fragile items
- Heavy-duty removals-grade plastic for additional protection of soft furnishings, including chairs, mattresses, and couches
- Comprehensive inventory and labelling processes
- Custom crates built to protect fragile artwork
Security Level Two: Purpose Built Containers
Unlike our competitors in the self-storage industry, we use reinforced steel containers instead of plywood boxes at pickup. We load your belongings directly into the containers, and then we bring them to our state-of-the-art storage facilities. We rely on cranes and forklifts to move containers, eliminating the risk and expense of double handling.
Our containers are:
- Accessible at both ends with the aid of customised doors
- Purpose-built with reinforced steel for maximum protection
- Constructed with the intention of keeping valuables safe during transportation and storage
Security Level Three: Superior Storage Facilities
Kent Storage uses the most advanced undercover facilities in the Southern Hemisphere. We ensure superior security to self-storage buildings that are publicly shared and draw attention in Canberra. Our facilities are:
- Private buildings with limited authorised entry
- Monitored 24/7 with CCTV security and fire protection systems
- Climatised
- Purpose-built, state-of-the-art structures
- Free from pests, dust, and natural elements
Security Level Four: Storage Insurance
We can arrange your moving and storage insurance coverage through our Customer Goods in Transit and Storage Insurance Policy.
Our comprehensive policy covers the whole removals process; from the minute we pack your treasures, right up until you sign for the delivery of your boxes.
Our range of insurance options include:
- Ultimate Cover and Premium Cover
- Pairs and sets
- Mechanical and electrical derangement

Which is More Convenient?
As we mentioned, self-service means you have to serve yourself. You’re the removalist, the delivery person, and the one who maintains the inventory and condition records. If you’re not used to any of these roles, it can be somewhat problematic. What if you end up cramming all your belongings in a damaging way or end up leaving something behind? Paying for a second unit is a costly expense that can eat away at your budget.
Kent Storage makes sure you never have to lift a finger. You don’t have to pack, and our expert packing professionals will take care of creating enough space for each of your valuables.
How Much Do They Cost?
Most self-service plans are affordable because you don’t pay for the labor associated with a full-service company; all you pay for is the storage unit and an additional fee for the insurance policy.
Kent Storage uses a stackable system that allows us to help you save money. That’s why we can offer you superior services for as little as 50 percent of the cost of a self-service solution.
Which Service is Safer?
Most self-service units are outside and must withstand Canberra weather. If moisture enters your outdoor unit, chances are good the wetness will ruin your belongings. Some places will let you upgrade to an indoor unit for an additional monthly fee.
Kent Storage never stores your goods outside. We also provide a complete inventory list so you’re always aware of the status of your things.
Kent Storage Canberra for home and office storage is:
- Easier: We use a straightforward process to eliminate the headaches of self-service. You’re just a phone call away from hiring our professional removalists to pick up your things from anywhere in Canberra. We’ll even ship your items out to any overseas location at your request.
- More Secure: Don’t let our low rates fool you; we never compromise on security. We use 24/7 CCTV monitoring as part of our unique four-level security system.
- Cheaper: We never charge you for unused space, unlike some businesses that charge for an entire box.
We do it all for as little as 50 percent of the price of self-service rentals. Kent Storage is the only sensible choice for storage in Canberra.
