Looking to work out some costs for renting or buying a small secure lockup (big enough for Brian James Minno size trailer and car) vs moving house to one with a bigger garage, but struggling to find any useful rightmove type websites? Anyone have any suggestions where to look, Sheffield area if that helps. Like I say, just looking for indicative costs... Do places like Big Yellow Storage King do anything useful, what do other PHers do to store race cars..

Generally the larger 'storage' places do not want cars / petrol anywhere near them.

Most people drive around the area trying to find a friendly farmer or similar with spare storage.

Going rate is £15 a week (cash obviously) upwards depending upon the building.

There are companies that specialise in this. I got mine via this website: http://www.dudrich.co.uk/index.php
They don't have anything in your area but I am sure there are other suppliers.
You can also rent them from your local council. I did put my name down for a council lock up but they weren't able to provide me one in the time I needed - there is often a waiting list.
My BJ Minno just fits in it and it costs £150 per quarter.
