Storage for Hinkley Point Workers: Flexible Options Near Site
Storage for Hinkley Point Workers: Flexible Options Near Site
Working at Hinkley Point often means long shifts, changing accommodation and a lot of kit to look after. Whether you’re here on a short-term contract or settled in for the long haul, having somewhere safe and nearby to store your belongings can make life a lot easier.
At Ewe Store, based at Little Clayhill Farm just outside Bridgwater, we provide flexible, secure self storage that’s an easy drive from Hinkley Point, Cannington, Wembdon and Durleigh. If you’re working on site and need extra space, this guide is for you.
Why Hinkley Point workers often need storage
Working on a big construction and energy project brings its own storage headaches. Common situations we see are:
Living in shared or temporary accommodation
Digs, lodges and shared houses usually don’t have space for everything you own. Self storage lets you keep bulkier items nearby without filling every corner of your room.
Travelling home on days off
If you go home at weekends or between rotations, you may not want to carry tools, PPE, bikes or personal belongings back and forth every time.
Bringing a lot of kit with you
Many contractors arrive with power tools, outdoor gear, workwear, and sometimes furniture. A secure unit gives you a base so you’re not constantly rearranging your accommodation.
- **Changing contracts or moving between digs**
If you’re moving between properties, a storage unit acts as a “holding bay” so you can move at your own pace rather than in one stressful day.
Self storage near Hinkley Point gives you somewhere reliable to keep what matters safe, dry and accessible.

## Why choose a rural storage site near Hinkley Point?
Ewe Store is located at Little Clayhill Farm, just outside Bridgwater. That puts us within easy reach of key Hinkley Point worker areas like Cannington, Wembdon and Durleigh, as well as the site itself.
A rural site has a few advantages:
- **Easy access without town-centre traffic**
We’re close to main routes to Hinkley Point, but you don’t have to battle busy town streets to get to your unit.
- **Quiet, tidy site**
Being based on a working farm means the site is calm, organised and has plenty of space to manoeuvre vehicles.
- **Plenty of parking**
There’s ample hardstanding parking right by the units, making it easy to load and unload after a long shift.
- **On-site farm shop and café**
Because we sit alongside Little Clayhill Farm Shop, many customers combine visiting their unit with picking up fresh produce, essentials or a coffee.
For workers dealing with long days and early starts, being able to nip in, grab what you need and head off to site without fuss is a big bonus.

## Flexible storage options for Hinkley Point workers
Every worker’s situation is different, so we offer a range of unit sizes and flexible terms. Typical uses include:
### 1. Personal storage while you’re on contract
Ideal if:
- You’re staying in digs or a lodge with limited space
- You’ve brought more belongings than will comfortably fit in your room
- You want somewhere secure for sentimental items while you’re away from home
A smaller unit is often enough for:
- Boxes of clothes and personal items
- A TV and a few pieces of furniture
- Bikes, sports gear and hobby equipment
You can come and go during our opening hours, so you can access your things around your shifts.
### 2. Tool and equipment storage for contractors
If you’re a contractor or tradesperson working on or around Hinkley Point, you may need secure storage for:
- Power tools and hand tools
- Ladders and access equipment
- Materials, fixings and consumables
- Workwear and PPE
Keeping everything in a dedicated unit means:
- You’re not leaving expensive tools in your van overnight
- Your kit is in one place between jobs
- You can share a larger unit with a colleague or small team to split the cost
Our hardstanding access makes it straightforward to load and unload vans or pickups.
### 3. Storage between moves or contract changes
If you’re:
- Moving from one rental to another
- Heading home for a while between contracts
- Waiting for new accommodation to become available
Self storage provides breathing space. You can:
- Move your belongings into a unit for a few weeks or months
- Travel with just a bag rather than your entire life packed in the car
- Take time to find the right accommodation rather than rushing into something that doesn’t suit you

## What to look for in storage near Hinkley Point
Wherever you decide to store, it’s worth checking a few key things:
1. **Location and drive time**
You want a site that’s close enough to Hinkley Point and the surrounding villages that it doesn’t add much extra time onto your day.
2. **Security measures**
Look for:
- Fencing and gated access
- CCTV coverage
- Controlled entry (e.g. keypad or similar)
- Good lighting and regular presence on site
3. **Access hours**
Shift workers need flexibility. Check that you can get to your unit early morning, evenings and weekends.
4. **Unit sizes and flexibility**
It’s helpful if you can:
- Start with a smaller unit and upgrade later
- Change size if your needs grow or shrink
- Choose short-term or long-term storage without complicated tie-ins
5. **Local, responsive support**
Being able to speak to someone who actually knows the site, and can help you choose the right unit or solve a problem quickly, makes a big difference – especially when you’re busy on site.

## Tips for making storage work around your shifts
To get the most out of a storage unit while you’re working at Hinkley Point:
- **Pack with frequent access in mind**
Put day-to-day items (workwear, PPE, boots) in clearly labelled boxes at the front so you’re not digging around every time.
- **Use sturdy boxes and shelving**
Especially for tools and heavier items – it keeps everything organised and protects your kit.
- **Keep a “grab-and-go” box**
Have one box or crate with everything you might need if accommodation changes suddenly: spare bedding, a towel, toiletries, a few plates/mugs and cutlery.
- **Label everything clearly**
Future you, finishing a 12-hour shift, will be very grateful you did.
- **Share a larger unit if it makes sense**
If you’re working with colleagues you trust, a slightly bigger shared unit can work out cheaper per person than several small ones.
