Self Storage Units London

When selecting your ideal storage unit, consider what you're planning to store and how you'll need to access it. Think about the amount of space you'll need, where you want your unit to be located, and how long you'll need it for. Your budget will play a key role, as will any specific security requirements you have. For reference, a 50 sq ft unit comfortably holds the contents of a one-bedroom flat, while a 100 sq ft space can accommodate belongings from a two-bedroom home. If you need help determining the right size, check our detailed size guide for more specific recommendations.

You may not store drugs and/or stolen goods, garbage, firearms, flammable, hazardous, or explosive materials, pets, plants and human beings (A storage unit may be used as a workshop or alternative office, but not as an alternative living space).

To choose a self storage unit size, list down all the items you plan on keeping in storage, and determine if you plan on adding more items in your storage unit in the future and refer to our storage size guide to determine how big of a London storage unit you need.

Aside from the normal deterioration of any item exposed to moisture, extreme temperature, and dust, there shouldn’t be any major damage to your belongings. However, to minimise the above-mentioned deterioration, we advise our clients to cover their items in plastic or cloth and keep smaller objects in cardboard boxes or plastic containers. Most of our partners also offer climate-controlled storage units for sensitive items. For more tips on packing and selecting the right moving boxes, check out this page.

If you wish to keep your stuff in the exact same condition as when you brought it in, a climate-controlled unit may be the way the closest thing to getting that. Additionally, sensitive items like antiques, pieces of art, electronics, musical instruments, photographs, items made of leather, collectibles, and makeup or toiletries are best stored in a climate-controlled storage unit.

When you find a storage facility that interests you, you'll need to contact them directly to arrange a viewing appointment. During your visit, you can explore the facility's security features, examine the loading areas, and view available units. You'll also have the opportunity to learn about access arrangements and understand the facility's layout. We strongly recommend viewing a unit before renting to ensure it meets your requirements, but remember that viewings must be arranged directly with your chosen storage provider.

No. Only you and your trustees will have access to your storage unit. The storage facility will never ask for a copy of your keys or lock code.
