How Lockd Future Self Storage Transformed an Old Hull Warehouse into a Modern Storage Hub
From workwear warehouse to a premium city-centre storage facility — this is the story of how Lockd Future Self Storage reimagined a once-industrial building and created one of Hull’s most forward-thinking storage spaces.

Kuboid – Lockd Future Self Storage Project
From a Disused Space to a Premium Storage Centre
The building on Reform Street was once home to workwear, tools and trade supplies — but its location, size, and structure made it ideal for something bigger. Jamie and Paul Budding recognised that Hull needed a modern, secure, easy-to-use storage facility right in the heart of the city. With that spark of an idea, Lockd Future Self Storage was born.
Working alongside Kuboid, the brothers set out to create a premium, efficient, future-ready facility designed around the needs of Hull’s residents, students, and businesses.
Smart Layout & Space Maximisation
To unlock the building’s potential, Kuboid designed a two-tier layout with integrated mezzanine floors. This allowed the creation of 200 modern storage units in a wide mix of sizes — from 25 sq ft to 200 sq ft — plus double-stacked locker units perfect for student storage or short-term overspill.
The result is a clean, bright, easy-to-navigate facility that feels premium yet practical for everyday use.
Security & Technology at the Core
Security has always been central to Lockd’s identity. Several industry specialists joined forces to protect every corner of the facility:
- PTI Security Systems: Installed a full access-control system for seamless, secure entry.
- DSOC Security: Provide professional 24/7 remote CCTV monitoring.
- Transdek: Supplied the industrial-grade goods lift to keep the flow of customer access smooth and reliable.
- ACTIVE CCTV: Installed a cutting-edge AI-enabled camera system covering the entire building.
This combination gives customers confidence that their belongings are stored safely, securely, and professionally monitored at all times.
A Future-Focused Investment for Hull
Lockd has already proven its success by establishing a dependable new income stream and revitalising a significant building in Hull’s city centre. As demand continues to rise, future expansion plans include converting more of the building into storage and adding new unit types.
“It became quite clear when we sat down with Kuboid that this was the team we needed to deliver our full project.”
