Once the truck leaves your door: where exactly are your belongings, who has access, how is the climate managed and what happens in case of fire or water damage? This guide covers every security and climate standard at our storage centre in Gouda — concrete, not marketing.
After we pick up your belongings at home, we drive them to our hub in Gouda. There they're sealed and stored in a secured, climate-controlled space. Four elements determine storage centre security: building, climate, intrusion prevention and coverage in case of emergencies. All standards below.
Our storage centre is at Antwerpseweg 2 in Gouda — centrally located, built to the standards insurers require for storage sites.
Tip: want to see how we work? On our page how we handle storage you'll find photos of the hub and the full process from pickup to storage.
The hub is continuously ventilated and climate-controlled — with daily measurements to make sure the climate stays on target.
Tip: sensitive items like audio equipment, TVs and computer hardware need extra protection before storage. Read packing electronics and TV for how to prepare them safely.
Your unit is filled together with you during pickup and immediately sealed, linked to a unique customer ID. From that moment no one else has access — not even our own staff.
Tip: never having to drive to the storage yourself is a key difference from traditional self storage. In why people choose storage outside the home you'll read why that convenience is often the deciding factor.
Prevention is built in: sprinkler system and smoke detectors. Financial coverage is in the insurance — either from us or via your own home contents policy.
Tip: want to check your own home contents policy for temporary storage before pickup? In insurance during a move you'll read what to check and which questions to ask your insurer.
According to the European Self Storage Industry Report 2025 by FEDESSA, the Netherlands is among the most mature storage markets in Europe: 1.24 million m² of storage space and 85.3% occupancy — above the European average of 78%. Consumers know where to find storage: 8% of Dutch people recognise five or more storage sites in their neighbourhood, versus 1–2% in most other countries.
In the European storage market, security is not an add-on but a baseline. Insurers set specific requirements on storage sites for their policies to respond: construction (stone/concrete), camera monitoring, alarm systems, fire protection. Our hub in Gouda is built to this standard — which is why you can either bring your own home contents policy or take out an additional policy through us.
The Dutch Consumentenbond flags home contents insurance and temporary storage as an explicit checkpoint: many policies cover items stored outside the home, but not all unlimited and not in every situation. Safest route: check your policy before pickup, and take out a targeted policy if not. Our customer portal supports both options.
