The former page combined self-storage, removals, locksmiths, alarms, guarding and fire equipment. Those services remain useful, but an old list of telephone numbers is unsafe for choosing who will hold your belongings, enter your property or install security equipment.
What this directory covers
- Storage: self-storage units, vehicle storage, document storage and short-term space during a move.
- Moving: household removals, packing, freight and specialist handling for heavy or fragile items.
- Security: licensed guards, patrols, alarm monitoring and security-system work where the activity requires a licence.
- Locks and access: locksmith work, keys, access control and emergency call-outs.
- Fire protection: inspection and servicing of alarms, extinguishers and other equipment by an appropriately qualified provider.
Where to look across the region
The main service centres are Burnie, Devonport, Ulverstone, Wynyard, Penguin, Latrobe and Smithton. Burnie and Devonport generally offer the widest range. Ulverstone and Wynyard serve the central and western coast, while Smithton is the practical centre for Circular Head. Some providers travel between towns, but travel fees, call-out areas and appointment days should be confirmed before booking.
For council-managed services, permits and facilities, identify the municipality responsible for the address. Town names and postal areas do not always match council boundaries.
Choose and verify a provider
Ask storage operators about access hours, insurance, pest and moisture controls, prohibited goods and what happens after missed payments. Obtain a written inventory and quote for removals. For security work, search the Tasmanian licence register and make sure the listed activity covers the job you need.
Keep the details current
Search results can retain former trading names, addresses and phone numbers long after they change. Use the official registers and service directories in the sources below, then confirm the provider’s current details directly. For paid work, agree on scope, price, timing and important exclusions in writing and keep the receipt.
