    FAQs

    How Much Does It Cost?

    There are 4 main things that determine how much it costs:

    What size lock-up do you need?

    Masterton Self-Storage has 230 individual proper purpose-built lock-up (unit/s) at this facility which is made up of 27 different sizes. The reason for this is, no two people store the same amount of stuff. That means to avoid paying for more space than you need we’ll get you into the right size lockup. This way is far more economical which saves you money. Come and have a chat and we’ll get you into the best size.

    Who stacks your stuff into your lock-up?

    Although most of us can do a reasonable job of stacking our stuff into a lock-up it’s unlikely we’ll do it as well as a furniture removal company. You see, furniture removal people stack stuff in a truck to stop it moving around while on the road. Being experienced stackers means they’ll get more stuff into a smaller unit. Smaller lock-ups are always more cost-effective.

    The longer your stuff is in storage the greater the savings.

    If you are giving us long-term (6 months or more) business, it means less work for us. Therefore, there must be something in it for you too – and there is; a cheaper price.

    We have long-term discounts starting from 5% all the way to almost 25% depending on the length of stay. For more information click here.

    Shipping Container Storage.

    Shipping containers can be good for storing items of little or low value. This is because of their limitations, including:

    1. Just one size (32m/3) which is equal to just over half the size of a single-car garage. This makes shipping container storage very uneconomical.
    2. Subject to condensation in colder days and months. Read about the effects of condensation here.
    3. Subject to heat and humidity in warmer days and months.
    4. Little or no ventilation. Poor ventilation can cause furniture to go mouldy.
    Why Do We Provide A Money-Back Guarantee And How Does It Work?

    Shipping containers are flooding the market and being offered suitable for self-storage. We know that without something to stop condensation dropping (like building-paper) in the winter months drips will fall from the under-side of a house roof – that same thing happens inside shipping containers – they drip condensation on to everything below.

    The opposite happens in summer. Temperatures can get so hot (exceeding 50 deg c) inside shipping containers that it can melt the glue that holds your furniture together.

    The storage lock-ups at Masterton Self-Storage are all purpose-built and fit-for-purpose using the same construction as a modern house except without insulation in the walls – temperatures are far more stable. That is why we can offer such a comprehensive money-back guarantee for all of our lockups except our shipping container storage. We guarantee if your stuff gets damp from condensation not only will we refund any money you’ve paid but we’ll replace or repair any dampness-damaged items.

    Is My Stuff Insured By Masterton Self-Storage While It’s In Storage?

    In short ‘no’ because we have no idea what our customers are storing, or the value of their items. However, Masterton Self-Storage exceeds insurance industry security standards for self-storage facilities. Masterton Self-Storage has been inspected by insurance companies who are delighted with the high standard of security (including 24/7 CCTV, fully monitored security alarms, and Armourguard patrol inspections). Our advice is, if you currently have insurance for the items you are putting into storage write (email) to your insurer and tell them where it is – put it in writing to them. What we can say is, to the best of our knowledge, none of our customers have been refused having their policy cover their stuff at our facility. That’s because the insurers can see your stuff is probably safer and more secure with us than at your place.

    What Hours Are You Open?

    Masterton Self-Storage is not a bit-on-the-side business for someone that has some spare warehouse space, or yard space for some shipping containers and want to make some easy cash. My wife and I are local owner-operators. We are here to manage this business 7-days a week with our office open every week-day from 10am to 4pm – and usually an hour either side of that but before coming down phone to confirm. The only week-days the facility is closed to the public (customers can come and go 7 days a week using an electronic swipe card) is statutory holidays and during the end-of-year shutdown between 20th December and 4th January.

    If you want to inspect our facility but can only make it on Saturday, we can usually accommodate you – prior arrangements are essential.

    Do You Have Pests And Insects Etc At Your Facility?

    The only way pests and insects come into our facility is as stowaways in our customer’s stuff. Unfortunately, no one admits to that but to control it we have a robust solution; twice a year we get a pest-control officer to spray and bomb – that takes care of any issues. End result, we have not had any problems or complaints.

    Cleaner

    Masterton Self-Storage is the only storage facility in the Wairarapa where the Storage Rooms are constructed in the same way as a modern home. The inside walls and most of the ceilings are lined with either Fyreline Gib-Board (a specialised fire-resistant wall board) and or smooth tough plywood. That means your Storage Room is more like a room in your house than a steel shipping container or tin shed in your backyard.

    Drier

    Masterton Self-Storage made a conscious business decision to spend more money to offer their customers a better product. That is why we opted not to provide or offer steel box shipping containers or flimsy steel sheet sheds. Steel is like glass on your old single-glazed bathroom windows (remember that) – they get damp from condensation in the winter and cook from overheating in the summer. Wooden modern-house construction Storage Room rooms mean (like a climate-controlled environment) there is no dampness from condensation and no high internal temperatures that can distort stored sensitive furniture or musical instruments in the summer. We guarantee your Storage Room is not only well ventilated but also 100% condensation dampness free.

    More Secure

    High tec security is amongst the first 3 or 4 most important priorities for customers who need self-storage. All major insurance companies have inspected Masterton Self-Storage (MSS), and some have even referred their customers to us – that is how much they love our security systems, and you will too.

    While all other self-storage firms in the Wairarapa use PIN numbers at a keypad at the entry gate, we do not. How safe is a PIN number if just one of the customers gives their PIN number to some of their dodgy mates? The MSS security system uses swipe-cards. The same as hotel rooms – one swipe-card per customer for each individual Storage Room or area.

    All swipe-cards are individually monitored by the nation-wide security firm, Monitor New Zealand – that is like having your own personal security guard stationed outside your Storage Room’s door 24/7 – how reassuring is that? All customers with a swipe-card have the convenience of getting access to their stuff from 6am to 6pm, 7-days-a-week including outside of our usual office hours. For security reasons only, 24/7 access is not issued as of right – 24/7 access is only granted to a few customers by special request who need it. That is because we don’t want people wandering around the facility at 2am in the morning. The MSS premises are also flood-lite at night to aid security guard patrols and to make it unwelcoming to intruders.

    And finally, MSS has 18 CCTV cameras operating 24/7 (using infrared night vision) which means we always have a 14-day record of who is at the facility, when they arrived, how long they were there for, what they were doing there, and when they leave. To date MSS has spent over $137,533.00 on electronic alarm and CCTV monitoring systems but we see this large sum of money as an investment for our customers. Oh, and by the way, security alarm monitoring to or at our customers’ Storage Room is provided free and at no extra cost.
