Storage facilities in London

How much storage space do I need?

Using our online storage space calculator, you can calculate how much storage space you need.

Studio flat – 1 storage container 40 sq ft

If you need to store items and furniture from a studio property, then a single container (about the size of an average garden shed) should do it. It is spacious enough to fit medium-size furniture, sofas, wardrobes, kitchen appliances, mattresses and boxes. A single container has the capacity to fit 35 standard boxes. Usually, this type of move is done with a single Transit van.

1-bedroom property – 2 storage containers (80 sq ft or approximately a home shopping delivery van)

Based on our experience, two containers should be enough to store all furniture, items and boxes. Again, this move is done with a single Transit van.

Small 2-bedroom property – 3 storage containers (120 sq ft or approximately a small single garage)

Usually, 3 containers will suffice to fit all the belongings from such a property. Keep in mind a 4th container might be necessary if, for example, the house has a lot of outdoor furniture and amenities. This type of move is done with a Luton van.

Large 2-bedroom or small 3-bedroom property – 4 storage containers (160 sq ft or approximately a large single garage)

For properties of such size, we recommend 4 containers and possibly a 5th depending on the bulkiness of your furniture and household appliances. This type of move is usually done with one Luton and one Transit van.

Large 3-bedroom property and above – 5 storage containers (approximately 200+ sq ft)

Is full service better than self storage and why

Many people think that self storage is a fast and cheap solution when they need to store their belongings. Of course, It does have its advantages, like the flexibility of storing and taking out items freely, but self storage does have its disadvantages as well:

• You must arrange the transportation of your belongings yourself
• Not all self storage providers are open 24/7
• You can have problems with security, cleanliness or pest control
• Outside self storage is not climate controlled
• Sometimes the unit that you need is not available
• You might have to struggle with stairs, lifts and trolleys
• Often people use only 60% of their available space
• You need to pay additional insurance

For self storage you need to hire a van and spend a lot of time and effort moving all the stuff yourself. Once you are done, one seemingly easy and cheap service becomes a nightmare.

Fantastic services can offer something even better than self storage, something that will do all the work for you, and that is full-service storage!
