Recommended Student Storage in Durham?

We managed to drop DD off at Durham Uni with all her stuff in our car - just!

Inevitably her new house rental doesn't start until after she's moving out of her college and she's 'collected' some bulky items in the meantime. Can anyone recommend a student storage company in or around Durham for the summer? We can ferry the stuff to a unit for her if required.

How does everyone else manage? Thanks!

We are abroad so storage is essential!

Last year used these:

I think they are nationwide. Couldn't fault it. It was a little bit more expensive than a DIY style one, but they bring you their boxes, pick up when you tell them, and redelivery when you tell them. My daughter's boxes weren't delivered on the day (a Friday) and she had to be out by noon on the Monday, someone came out on the Saturday to bring them to her.

I wasn't able to go over and help her last year so that was the easiest option.

Will probably be using them again, though I am still shopping around, as I'll be there this year, so if we find a significantly cheaper one I might try that. But really, these were brilliant.

What we did with dd both years, was dh went up and they collected all dd's stuff (and half her flatmate, who lived abroad) and spent 3-4 days in an B&B and then moved the stuff in. It was easier than bringing it all down, unpacking it, and then going up again.
Helped by them finding a lovely hostess who was happy for them to use her garage to store some things in too, so the car wasn't too over full, but they didn't know that until they got there.
