Our digital access Smart-Entry system offers the ultimate in security standards, providing you with full access from the front door of the building to your specific unit, with just your smartphone. You won’t need a padlock to access your unit, nor will you need to remember awkward keys or tricky codes. Our Smart-Entry system provides live building status with sensor intelligence and CCTV integration, along with tamper-proof hardware, protecting every single access point in the building. Smart-entry provides real-time control and proactive security 24/7.
Fire detection systems
We prioritise safety with state-of-the-art early fire detection warning systems. These advanced systems are designed to swiftly identify fires, ensuring alarms are triggered promptly. This proactive approach allows us to minimise the risk of fire-related incidents and safeguard each and every unit, and thus your property.
Clean everything before storing. Dust and dirt can cause long-term damage. Use quality boxes and wrap fragile items well. For furniture, use covers. Avoid storing anything wet. And if in doubt, wrap it up.

Many of our customers do exactly that, using their unit as a fulfilment base or collection point. While units aren’t offices (No desks), they work brilliantly as a home for stock, tools, or equipment that a business runs from. Talk to us directly about your specific needs and we will do our best to help.
This is one of our most popular business uses. Whether it’s Christmas stock, summer gear, or trade show materials, a Stow unit is perfect for overflow stock that you don’t need all year round. Scale up or down as your business needs change.
Absolutely. Our units are secure, dry, and private. Only authorised personnel you designate can access your unit. For particularly sensitive documents, we’d recommend using locked filing boxes within your unit for an extra layer of security.
Of course. Many of our business customers rent multiple units to keep different categories of stock or equipment separate and organised. We can help you plan a setup that makes sense for how you work.
No drama. If your storage needs change, we can move you to a different size unit, subject to availability. Just get in touch and we’ll sort it out. We’d rather you have the right space than the wrong one.
As long as you need. Our rentals are flexible, with no fixed long-term contract. You can start with a minimum of 12 weeks if you avail of our €1 offer and stay for as long as suits you. When you’re ready to move out, just give us the required notice and you’re done.
Your belongings are your responsibility to insure, but we also offer goods protection options at competitive rates. Just add one of the goods protect value options when booking. Goods protect terms and conditions are in your customer agreement.
Our facility uses the latest cutting-edge access control technology in the storage industry. All our units are digitally accessed and controlled by you via your phone. Access is simple and secure.
All you need is yourself and your phone!
All sorts. Stock and inventory, office furniture, equipment, marketing materials, archive documents, tools, samples, if your business has stuff that needs a home, we’ve got space for it. We work with businesses of all sizes, from sole traders to larger operations.
Simple. You rent a unit, think of it as your own private room or attic for your stuff, and fill it with whatever you need to store. You come and go as you please. No one else has access. When you don’t need it anymore, you move out and that’s that.
Pretty much anything that fits through the door and isn’t going to cause a hazard. Furniture, clothes, books, sports gear, seasonal decorations, and that exercise bike you swear you’ll use again, it’s all welcome. The only things we can’t store are hazardous materials, flammable liquids, illegal items, perishable food, and living things (yes, that includes pets).
Customer Reviews
“I booked a unit at 11pm the night before a big move. Took about five minutes on the Stow website. Showed up the next morning, access worked perfectly, and my stuff was in before lunch. Genuinely the easiest part of moving house.”
Sarah Murphy
Moving home
“We used Stow to store office equipment between premises. The security gave us real peace of mind, and we could access the storage unit for stock whenever we needed. The terms meant we weren’t locked into a long term contract we didn’t need.”
Declan Keogh
Business customer
“I was nervous about putting my things in storage. But Stow felt easy from the start. It was clean, easy to get to, and any questions I had were answered quickly. I wouldn’t go anywhere else now.”
