Use our units to store furniture, appliances and fixtures between lets, during refurbishments, or when converting to furnished/part-furnished. It keeps properties clear and avoids cluttering garages or outbuildings.

How Our Household Storage Service Works
We aim to make storage as simple and stress-free as possible. You can use storage only, or combine it with our removal services so we handle everything from your door to the unit and back again.
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form. Tell us what you need to store, when, and for roughly how long. We will recommend a suitable unit size and explain your options (self drop-off, collection service, or full removal and storage). We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on space, duration and any handling required.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger households or where we are also providing removals, we usually arrange a short virtual or onsite survey. This helps us confirm the volume, access issues (stairs, parking, lifts) and any items that may need dismantling. It ensures we send the right sized vehicle, the right number of trained staff, and reserve an appropriately sized unit so you do not overpay for unused space.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings or use our professional packing service. We supply high-quality boxes, tape, bubble wrap and covers, or we can do the full packing for you. Fragile items are wrapped and cushioned. Mattresses, sofas and larger furniture are protected with covers, and we can disassemble and label items for easier storage and later reassembly.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our fully insured removals team arrives at the agreed time. We load systematically, using blankets and straps to protect your belongings in transit. All items are then transported directly to our secure storage facility near Southfields. For self-storage users who prefer to bring items in themselves, we provide clear access instructions and support on arrival.
5. Unloading, Placement & Ongoing Access
At the facility, your goods are unloaded carefully into your allocated unit. We pack the space efficiently to maximise value and keep frequently needed items accessible at the front. Depending on the storage option you choose, you can access your unit during opening hours, or we can manage access and retrieval on your behalf, delivering items back when required.
Transparent Household Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your overall cost will depend on:
- Unit size (how much space you need)
- Length of storage (short or long term)
- Whether you use our removal and packing services
- Any additional cover or specialist handling
We work out the most efficient unit size so you are not paying for empty space. For long-term storage, we may be able to offer reduced rates. All charges will be itemised in your quote so you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit.
Why Use Professional Storage and Removals Instead of DIY?
While hiring a van and doing it yourself might seem cheaper, it often leads to underestimating space, damaging furniture, or storing items poorly. With Storage Southfields you benefit from:
- Trained teams who know how to handle and stack items safely
- Correct equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and covers
- Goods in transit insurance when we transport your belongings
- Efficient loading that makes best use of your unit and vehicle space
- Time saved – especially important for busy families and professionals
Compared to a casual man-and-van, we offer structured processes, insurance, and documented standards, giving you proper protection and peace of mind.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance when we move your items between your property and our facility
- Public liability cover for work carried out in your home or premises
- Fully insured storage facility with robust security measures
- Trained, uniformed staff following safe lifting and handling practices
We will explain the level of cover included as standard and discuss any additional protection you may wish to arrange for particularly high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your possessions as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped and covered, boxes are stacked securely, and fragile items are clearly marked and positioned safely. We aim to minimise waste by reusing sturdy packing materials where appropriate and offering recyclable boxes. Our vehicles are routed efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage, and we encourage customers to choose the most space-efficient storage option, lowering both cost and environmental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does household storage in Southfields cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you need it for, and whether you’d like us to handle collection and delivery. Smaller units for a few boxes and small items are naturally cheaper than larger spaces for a full household. We offer weekly or monthly pricing, with potential savings for longer-term storage. Once we understand what you plan to store, we’ll recommend a unit size and provide a clear, itemised quote before you commit to anything.
Can you offer same‑day or urgent storage?
In many cases, yes. Because we are local to Southfields, we can often arrange urgent storage at short notice, including collection and removal if required. Same‑day availability depends on current unit occupancy and the size of space you need, but we always do our best to accommodate emergency situations such as last‑minute move‑outs or landlord requests. Contact us as early in the day as possible, and we will confirm what we can offer and any applicable urgent service charges.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?
When we transport your belongings, they are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to our terms and conditions. At the storage facility, we maintain fully insured premises with robust security, and we also hold public liability cover for work at your property. Standard cover is suitable for most customers, but if you have particularly high‑value items, we recommend discussing additional or specified cover with us or your own insurer. We will explain the exact levels of protection before you sign your agreement.
What is included in your household storage service?
At a basic level, you receive a secure, dry storage unit in or near Southfields, with agreed access during opening hours and clear rental terms. Many customers choose to add our removals services, which can include collection from your home, professional packing, furniture protection, loading, transport and careful placement within the unit. We can also supply packing materials, dismantle and reassemble certain items, and arrange redelivery at the end of your storage period. Your quote will set out exactly what is and isn’t included.
How is your service different from a simple man‑and‑van?
A casual man‑and‑van typically offers basic transport only, with limited or no insurance, no structured processes and often no dedicated storage facility. By contrast, Storage Southfields provides a combined removals and storage service with trained staff, documented procedures and goods in transit and public liability cover. Your items are moved into a secure, managed unit rather than a makeshift space. You also benefit from proper planning, clear paperwork and a single point of contact for collection, storage and redelivery, giving you a much higher level of protection.
How far in advance should I book household storage?
For the best choice of unit sizes and move‑in dates, we usually recommend booking one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month‑end. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, and we often accommodate bookings at shorter notice. If you know your dates early, let us know so we can reserve space and schedule our professional removal team if needed. Even if your timings are uncertain, we can still advise you on likely availability and options.
