How much does storage cost in the UK?
The overall cost of storage depends on the volume of items, the size of the unit required, how long you plan to keep items in storage, and whether you need collection and delivery services.
For standard UK storage solutions:
- Small storage unit (25–50 sq ft / garden shed size): Typically costs £60 to £120 per month, ideal for boxes, small appliances, or sports gear.
- Medium storage unit (75–100 sq ft / 1–2 bedroom flat): Generally ranges from £120 to £220 per month, accommodating sofas, beds, and dining sets.
- Large storage unit (150–200 sq ft / 3–4 bedroom house): Usually costs £220 to £400+ per month, ideal for full house moves.
- Collection & removal services: Having a specialist team pick up, pack, and drop off your goods into storage typically adds £150 to £500, depending on distance and team size.

What is the difference between self-storage and containerised storage?
Choosing the right storage solution comes down to how often you need access to your items and whether you prefer to handle the transport yourself. Understanding the key differences helps you pick the right option:
- Self-storage: You rent a clean, private unit or container inside a dedicated facility. You load and unload your belongings yourself and enjoy regular, flexible access (often 24/7) to drop off or collect items whenever you like.
- Containerised storage: A removal company collects your packed belongings directly from your home, loads them into large wooden or metal storage crates, and transports them to a secure warehouse. The containers remain sealed until they are delivered to your new property.
- Best choice for: Self-storage is best if you need ongoing, frequent access to your belongings. Containerised removal storage is ideal for house moves or renovations where you don't need regular access and want a hands-off, hassle-free service.
Investing in professional collection and storage eliminates the stress of renting vans, lifting heavy furniture, and risking accidental damage. Experienced removal and storage specialists pack items securely using blankets and straps, ensuring everything stays safe until you are ready for delivery.
Finding a safe, flexible storage setup brings complete peace of mind during a busy home transition. Whether you need a short-term unit or a full removal-and-store package, a local specialist can get it sorted.

Other storage FAQs
Is there anything I cannot keep in a storage unit?
Yes. For safety and legal reasons, storage facilities strictly prohibit hazardous or flammable materials (like petrol, paint, or gas canisters), living plants, animals, food, or illegal items. Always check the company's prohibited list before packing.
Do I need insurance for items kept in storage?
Yes. While storage facilities maintain building insurance, your personal items require separate cover against fire, theft, or water damage. Many home contents policies can be extended to cover goods in transit and storage, or you can purchase cover directly through your storage company.
How should I prepare appliances like fridges and freezers for storage?
Fridges and freezers must be completely unplugged, defrosted, thoroughly cleaned, and dried out at least 24–48 hours before being moved into storage. Keep the doors slightly propped open during storage to prevent mould or unpleasant odours from building up inside.

Huge thanks to Alan and his team! They did an amazing job clearing our garden and garage. The waste was far more than expected—accumulated over 2 years—and weeds were a huge challenge. They worked tirelessly from morning to evening with great attention to detail. The garden and garage were left spotless and clean. Extremely hardworking and professional. I couldn't be more grateful for their hard work and highly recommend their services!
