Local Expertise in Roehampton
As a Roehampton-based company, we know the area well – from local estates and mansion blocks to student halls and small businesses on local high streets. That local knowledge matters when it comes to access, parking, timed collections and dealing with building management requirements.
We regularly support customers coming from:
- Flats and houses in Roehampton and neighbouring areas
- University of Roehampton student accommodation
- Local offices, clinics and shops
- Landlords managing multiple properties
Because we also operate as a removals company, we can integrate storage smoothly with your move, avoiding unnecessary handling and reducing the risk of damage.
Who Our Self Storage Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are decluttering before a sale, renovating, or between homes. Store furniture, appliances, seasonal items and personal belongings securely while you complete your move or building work.
Renters
Perfect when you are changing tenancy, moving in with a partner, or downsizing. Use storage to bridge gaps between tenancies or to keep non-essential items safe in a separate space.
Landlords
We work with landlords who need to store part-furnished items, white goods, or furniture between lets. Storage allows you to keep good-quality items without overcrowding your properties.
Businesses
Our units are well suited to small and medium businesses needing space for stock, documents, exhibition materials, tools or equipment. Storage gives you room to grow without committing to larger commercial premises.
Students
Students at the University of Roehampton benefit from short-term storage over summer, placements or gap years. Store books, clothes, small furniture and personal items instead of moving everything home and back again.
What You Can Store
Most everyday household and business items are suitable for our self storage units, including:
- Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
- Appliances – washing machines, fridges (defrosted), microwaves
- Boxes of books, files, clothes and personal belongings
- Business stock, marketing materials and archives
- Bikes, sports equipment and hobby items
- Suitcases and seasonal items such as decorations
Items We Cannot Accept
For safety, legal and hygiene reasons, some items are not suitable for storage. These include:
- Perishable goods, food and anything that may attract pests
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals)
- Illegal items or anything obtained unlawfully
- Unregistered firearms or weapons
- Live animals, plants or any living items
- Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents (these belong in a safe or bank deposit)
If you are unsure about a particular item, our team will advise you before you book.
Our Step-by-Step Self Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with an outline of what you need to store, and for how long. We will help you estimate the right unit size and provide a clear, no-obligation quote. Where collection is required, we will include transport and loading costs separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger loads, we can arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to confirm the volume, assess access issues (stairs, parking, lifts) and plan any additional moving equipment required. An accurate survey means your quote is realistic and there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack your own goods or use our professional packing service. If you pack yourself, we will advise on suitable boxes, wrapping and labelling to keep everything protected and easy to find. If we pack for you, our trained team will wrap furniture, protect fragile items and prepare everything for secure storage.
4. Loading & Transport
If you opt for collection, our removals crew will arrive at the agreed time, protect floors and doorways as needed, and load your items safely. We use proper moving equipment and techniques to minimise risk. Your goods are then transported directly to our storage facility under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement in Your Unit
At our facility, we carefully unload and place items into your designated unit, stacking in a sensible, stable way so you can access key items as needed. We can provide an inventory list on request. When you are ready to move out of storage, we can reverse the process and deliver back to your new address.
Transparent Pricing and How We Charge
We believe storage costs should be easy to understand. Our pricing is based on:
- Unit size (measured in square feet or cubic capacity)
- Length of stay (short or long term)
- Optional extras: collection, delivery, packing materials and packing service
You pay a regular storage fee (usually monthly) plus any one-off moving costs if we are collecting or delivering on your behalf. We will always explain each element clearly and confirm everything in writing. There are no hidden fees for basic access or standard security.
Why Choose Professional Self Storage Over DIY or Casual Options
Using a reputable storage company with removals experience offers several advantages compared with ad-hoc solutions or casual man-and-van arrangements:
- Professional handling reduces the risk of damage in transit and in storage
- A purpose-built, secure facility offers better protection than sheds, garages or spare rooms
- Fully insured cover gives you peace of mind if something unexpected happens
- Structured contracts and clear terms protect both parties
- Experienced staff can advise on packing, unit size and layout to save you money and space
While a casual man-and-van may appear cheaper initially, it rarely includes proper insurance, professional equipment or secure long-term storage. Over time, the risks and potential losses often outweigh any savings.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance when we handle collection and delivery
- Public liability cover for work at your property and at our facility
- Trained, professional moving teams experienced in lifting, packing and stacking
- Secure, monitored premises with controlled access and fire precautions
We follow industry best practice for wrapping, loading and storing items, and we are happy to talk you through our procedures if you want more detail before committing.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Good storage is about more than simply locking things away. We focus on:
- Using clean, dry units to protect against damp and dust
- Ensuring furniture and boxes are stacked safely to avoid crushing
- Offering reusable crates and durable packaging where possible to reduce waste
- Planning collections and deliveries efficiently to cut unnecessary journeys and emissions
We encourage customers to pack thoughtfully – using sturdy boxes, avoiding overfilling, and labelling clearly – so that items can be reused, repaired or resold rather than discarded.
Common Real-World Uses for Our Self Storage
Moving House
Property chains do not always line up neatly. Self storage provides a safe middle ground when you need to move out before your new place is ready, or when you want to declutter ahead of marketing your home. We can coordinate removal, storage and final delivery as one managed service.
Office and Business Moves
Businesses use our units to bridge the gap between leases, store surplus desks and equipment, or keep archived files off-site but accessible. Because we understand commercial moves, we can schedule collections outside office hours and work with building managers to minimise disruption.
Urgent or Last-Minute Storage Needs
Things do not always go to plan. We often help customers who face last-minute tenancy changes, delayed completion dates or urgent declutters. Where capacity allows, we will arrange swift collection and storage, providing calm, practical support when timescales are tight.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Roehampton cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need and how long you require it. Smaller units suitable for boxes and a few small items are naturally cheaper than larger rooms designed for full house contents or business stock. We price on a weekly or monthly basis, with discounts for longer-term storage in many cases. Collection, delivery and any packing services are quoted separately so you can choose exactly what you need. Contact us with a rough list of items and we will provide a clear, tailored quote.
Can you provide same-day or urgent self storage?
Where we have space available, we can often arrange same-day or next-day storage, particularly for smaller loads. If you can bring items to us yourself, we will do our best to allocate a unit quickly. For collections using our vehicles and crews, urgency depends on existing bookings and routes, but we regularly help customers at short notice. The sooner you contact us with details of your situation, the more options we can offer and the easier it is to secure a suitable unit and time slot.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Our facility is covered by comprehensive security measures and standard business insurance, and when we transport your goods they are protected by goods in transit insurance. For items in storage, we recommend that customers have contents insurance in place that covers items stored away from home, or we can help arrange suitable cover for the declared value of your goods. Insurance requirements vary, so we will explain the options clearly and confirm what is and is not included as part of your agreement before you move in.
What is included in a typical self storage service?
A typical self storage service includes your individual, lockable unit, secure premises with monitored access, and basic support from our team during opening hours. At Storage Roehampton you can add optional services such as collection and delivery, professional packing, packing materials, and help with loading and unloading at our facility. We will walk you through the choices so you only pay for what you actually need. All standard charges, notice periods and access arrangements are set out in writing before you start storing with us.
How is professional storage different from a man-and-van?
A man-and-van service normally focuses only on transport, with limited or no dedicated storage facilities, minimal paperwork and often restricted insurance cover. By contrast, a professional storage and removals company like ours offers a secure, purpose-built facility, structured contracts, fully insured services and trained staff. We use suitable equipment, plan loads properly and keep your belongings in a controlled environment rather than in sheds, garages or vans. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes, especially when you need storage for more than a few days.
How far in advance should I book self storage?
Where possible, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as month end, summer and university term changeovers. Early booking helps to guarantee the unit size you want and allows us to coordinate any collection or packing services smoothly. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we will always try to accommodate last-minute requests if we have availability. If you know your dates are likely to move, let us know and we will build in some flexibility.
