  • Hi would you have secure parking for 2 transit vans at your property? Thanks

    The secure parking that we offer has a height restriction and I don't think that transits would fit. We do have parking spaces that are covered by CCTV and you would be able to back the transits up against a wall so that the back doors cannot be opened.
