Who Our Self Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect when you’re moving house, decluttering before a sale or planning major works. Store furniture, boxes, seasonal items, appliances and personal possessions safely out of the way until you’re ready for them.
Renters
If you’re between tenancies, moving into a smaller flat or house-sharing, self storage lets you keep what matters without crowding your living space. Short-term contracts are available for gap periods or trial moves.
Landlords
We work with landlords who need to clear or rotate furniture between lets, store appliances, or keep fixtures and fittings safe during refurbishments. Access is straightforward for tradespeople and contractors with prior arrangement.
Businesses
Our facility is widely used by local businesses for stock, tools, archive documents, event equipment and spare furniture. Self storage is a cost-effective alternative to taking on bigger premises and gives you flexibility as your business grows or changes.
Students
For students heading home between terms or placements, self storage is an easy way to avoid moving everything back and forth. Share a unit with friends to keep costs down and store bedding, books, clothes and personal items securely.

How Our Self Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Initial Quote
Contact us by phone, email or through our website with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll recommend an appropriate unit size and provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on your requirements.
2. Survey & Size Check (Onsite or Virtual)
If you’re not sure on sizing, we can arrange a quick virtual survey or invite you to visit the site so you can see unit options in person. Drawing on our removals experience, we’ll help you estimate space based on standard items like beds, sofas, appliances and archive boxes.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can provide professional packing materials and, if required, a full or part packing service. We’ll advise on best practice: using sturdy boxes, labelling clearly, protecting fragile items and keeping heavier items at the bottom. Proper preparation helps keep everything safe while in storage.
4. Loading & Transport to Your Unit
You’re welcome to bring your belongings in your own vehicle, or you can use our removals teams to collect everything from your home or office. Our staff are trained in lifting, loading and securing goods in transit. On arrival, we help you position large items efficiently so you can access what you need easily.
5. Unloading, Placement & Ongoing Access
Once your unit is loaded, you’ll receive your access details and lock arrangements. You keep control of access, and you can visit during our opening hours to add, remove or reorganise items as needed. When you’re ready to move out, just clear the unit and give the required notice under your agreement.
Transparent Self Storage Pricing
We believe storage costs should be straightforward. Our prices are based on:
- Unit size (lockers through to larger rooms)
- Length of stay (short or long term)
- Optional extras such as packing materials, transport or insurance upgrades
You’ll receive a written quote showing the weekly or monthly rate, any introductory offers and details of deposits or notice periods. There are no hidden access fees or surprise charges for standard use. We’ll also let you know if a smaller or larger unit might save money or offer better flexibility.
Why Choose Professional Self Storage Over Informal Options
Using a professional storage facility offers clear advantages over garages, sheds or spare rooms at friends’ houses:
- Purpose-built, dry and secure units with monitored access
- Clear terms and accountability if something goes wrong
- Availability of goods in transit insurance and site cover
- Support from experienced staff who move and store items every day
- No risk of disputes with friends or family over space or damage
When combined with our removals service, you benefit from a joined-up solution where everything is packed, transported and stored by one trained team.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, so we take protection seriously:
- Goods in transit insurance is available when we handle collection and delivery to or from your unit.
- Our business carries public liability cover for operations on site and during removals work.
- All staff are trained in safe handling, lifting techniques and loading methods to reduce the risk of damage.
We’ll explain the level of cover included as standard and any optional upgrades, so you can make an informed decision about protecting high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to balance high standards of care with a responsible approach to resources:
- Clean, dry units with regular checks for leaks or issues
- Protective coverings for furniture, mattresses and delicate items
- High-quality reusable crates available on request
- Recyclable packing materials where possible
- Encouraging reuse of boxes and responsible disposal of unwanted items
When combined with careful layout and stacking, these measures help minimise damage and waste while your goods are in storage.
Real-World Uses for Self Storage
Moving House
Self storage is invaluable when completion dates don’t line up or you’re moving in stages. We can move your belongings into storage first, then deliver them to your new home once the keys are in your hand.
Office and Business Relocation
Businesses often use our units during office moves, refurbishments or expansions. Desks, chairs, IT equipment and archives can be stored securely while you reorganise your workspace, avoiding unnecessary disruption.
Urgent and Short-Notice Storage
Life doesn’t always give much warning. We regularly help customers who need storage at short notice due to sudden moves, relationship changes, emergency repairs or flood and fire damage. Where we have space, we do our best to arrange same-day or next-day storage and, if needed, emergency collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Collier Row cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size of unit you need and how long you want it for. Smaller lockers and compact units are ideal for boxes and a few small items, while larger rooms suit full house loads or business stock. We charge a simple weekly or monthly rate, with discounts sometimes available for longer-term bookings. We’ll always try to match you with the smallest practical space to avoid overpaying, and we’ll confirm all costs clearly before you sign any agreement.
Can you provide same-day or urgent self storage?
Where we have availability, we can often arrange same-day or next-day storage, especially for urgent situations such as unexpected moves, property damage or last-minute tenancy changes. Contact us as early in the day as possible and explain your circumstances. We’ll check current capacity, suggest a suitable unit size and, if required, organise rapid collection with our removals team. While we can’t guarantee same-day space every time, we always prioritise urgent cases and work flexibly to fit you in.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Our facility is covered by site insurance and security measures, but individual contents cover may vary depending on your agreement. We’ll explain the basic protection included and offer optional goods in transit insurance when we move items to and from your unit. In many cases, customers choose additional contents cover for high-value items, either through us or their own insurer. We’ll provide all the information you need so you can decide on a level of protection that matches the value and importance of what you’re storing.
What’s included in your self storage service?
Our core service includes a clean, secure unit in the size agreed, monitored access during opening hours and support from our professional on-site team. We’ll help you choose the right unit, explain how to use the space efficiently and run through access and security procedures. Optional extras include packing materials, crates, collection and delivery by our removals crews and additional insurance cover. You stay in control of the unit, with flexibility to adjust the space or length of stay as your needs change.
How is this different from using a casual man-and-van or a private garage?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only and often stores goods in unmanaged or informal spaces with limited security or accountability. By contrast, we provide a purpose-built facility with defined security measures, public liability cover and clear terms and conditions. You know exactly where your belongings are, how they’re protected and who has access. When combined with our trained removals teams, you get a joined-up, accountable service rather than a series of separate, informal arrangements that may leave gaps in responsibility.
How far in advance should I book self storage?
If you know your dates, it’s best to reserve storage as soon as possible, especially during busy moving periods such as summer and month-end. Booking a week or two ahead usually gives the best choice of unit sizes and lets us coordinate any removals support you need. However, we understand that plans change, so we’re flexible about start dates and extensions. If something urgent comes up at short notice, contact us – we’ll always do what we can to find a practical solution with the space we have available.
