Professional Self Storage in Southfields
Our self storage service gives you clean, dry, individually locked units with easy access and flexible terms. Whether you need short-term storage between moves or a longer-term solution for business stock, we offer a straightforward, professional service backed by fully insured facilities and trained staff.

Who Our Southfields Self Storage Is For
Homeowners
If you are renovating, decluttering to sell, or between homes, self storage is an ideal way to keep furniture and personal belongings safe and out of the way. We regularly help homeowners store full house contents while chains complete or building work is carried out.
Renters
Short-term tenancies and frequent moves often mean you need more flexibility than your landlord can offer. Our storage units are perfect if you are downsizing, moving in with a partner, or heading abroad but want to keep your possessions secure until you return.
Landlords
Landlords in Southfields often use our self storage for spare furniture, white goods, and seasonal items between tenancies. It keeps properties clutter-free and makes it easier to change between furnished and unfurnished lets without losing quality items.
Businesses
Our business customers range from local trades to online retailers and professional services. We provide safe storage for inventory, equipment, marketing materials, archive files and seasonal stock. Flexible access hours and a choice of unit sizes mean you can store more cost-effectively than in high-rent office or retail space.
Students
Students at nearby universities and colleges use our facility to store belongings over the holidays, during placement years, or between house shares. It is far cheaper and easier than shipping everything home and back again each term.

How Our Self Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or through our website with an outline of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few simple questions about your belongings and access requirements, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the most suitable unit size and term.
2. Storage Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
To make sure you only pay for the space you need, we can carry out a quick virtual survey via video call or an onsite visit if required. With many years in removals and storage, we are accurate at estimating space for anything from a few boxes to a full four-bedroom home.
3. Packing & Preparation
You are welcome to pack your own items, or our trained removals team can provide a packing service using quality materials. We can supply boxes, tape, bubble wrap and protective covers, and advise on how best to pack for storage so items stay clean, protected and easy to find later.
4. Loading & Transport
If you prefer not to move everything yourself, we can collect your belongings from your home, office or student accommodation. Our removals vehicles are fitted with blankets, straps and trolleys to keep items secure in transit. We load carefully, protect furniture and ensure everything is correctly labelled for straightforward unloading into your unit.
5. Unloading & Placement in Your Unit
At our Southfields facility, our team will unload and place your items in your allocated unit, stacking safely and efficiently to maximise your space. We can create walkways and label box locations so that when you visit, you can quickly find what you need. Once you are satisfied, we secure the unit, and you keep the key or access code.
Transparent Self Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no surprises. Our self storage costs are based on:
- Unit size (measured by floor area or volume)
- Length of stay (short-term or ongoing)
- Any additional services (collection, packing, packing materials)
Your quote will clearly show weekly or monthly rates, any introductory offers, and optional services. There are no hidden access charges, and we explain notice periods and payment terms in plain English. If your needs change, we can upgrade or downsize your unit to keep your costs under control.
Why Choose Professional Self Storage Over DIY Options
Using a professional storage facility is very different from leaving belongings in a friend’s garage or a makeshift lock-up. With us you benefit from:
- Purpose-built, dry and secure units, not damp sheds or basements
- Controlled access with CCTV and alarm systems
- Goods in transit cover when we move items for you, and facility insurance that supports your own contents cover
- Staff on site to help with questions, access and security
- Clear contracts and predictable pricing
Compared with a casual man-and-van or ad-hoc storage, you gain accountability, proper protection, and support from an established, fully insured operator.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As experienced removals and storage professionals, we work to recognised industry standards and take the protection of your possessions seriously.
- Goods in transit insurance when we collect and deliver your items
- Public liability cover for work carried out on your premises and at our facility
- Trained and vetted staff who handle belongings carefully and respectfully
- Secure access controls, CCTV monitoring and regularly maintained buildings
We can provide documentation of our cover and guidance on how our storage supports your own home or business contents policy.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to combine careful handling with responsible working practices. Furniture and delicate items are wrapped and protected to minimise the risk of damage while in our care. We encourage customers to use reusable crates where possible and we recycle cardboard and packing materials from moves.
Our vehicles are maintained for efficiency, and we plan collection routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage. Within the facility, we use energy-efficient lighting and look for opportunities to improve our environmental impact without compromising security or cleanliness.
Real-World Self Storage Uses in Southfields
Moving House
Chains rarely line up perfectly. Many of our customers place some or all of their belongings into storage for a few days or weeks while sales complete. We can collect from your old property, hold items securely, then deliver to your new home on the agreed date.
Office Relocation and Business Changes
When companies move office, downsize or switch to hybrid working, storage becomes essential. We hold surplus desks, files and equipment while you decide what to keep or sell, letting your new workspace stay clear and organised from day one.
Urgent and Last-Minute Storage
Life does not always give much notice. Whether a landlord needs a property cleared quickly, a relationship breakdown means one party needs to move out, or building damage forces a temporary decant, we can often arrange same-day or next-day storage and collection, subject to availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Southfields cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you require and how long you need it for. Smaller units suitable for a few boxes and small items are naturally cheaper than spaces large enough for a full house or business inventory. We price weekly or monthly, with discounts sometimes available for longer stays. Your quote will clearly show the storage cost and any optional extras such as collection, packing or packing materials. We are always happy to help you choose the smallest unit that will comfortably fit your belongings.
Can you offer same-day or urgent self storage?
In many cases, yes. If we have suitable units available, we can often arrange same-day or next-day move-in, and where needed, organise rapid collection of your belongings from your home or office. Urgent storage is common for sudden moves, landlord requirements or unexpected building work. The sooner you contact us, the more options we will have in terms of unit sizes and collection slots. We will always give honest, realistic timescales and do our best to accommodate genuinely urgent situations.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
When we transport your items to and from our Southfields facility, they are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to policy terms. While in storage, you should normally have cover through your own home, renters or business contents policy; many insurers simply require you to tell them you are using a recognised storage facility. We can provide documentation about our building security and public liability cover to support your insurer’s requirements. If you do not currently have suitable cover, we can point you towards specialist providers who understand self storage.
What is included in your self storage service?
As standard, you get a clean, secure, individually locked unit, access during agreed hours, and support from our on-site team. We maintain the facility, handle security and keep common areas tidy and well lit. Optional services include a removals team to collect and deliver your belongings, a packing service, and supply of packing materials such as boxes and bubble wrap. We also offer flexible terms, so you can extend or reduce your storage period as your circumstances change, subject to our notice requirements.
How is professional self storage different from a man-and-van?
A man-and-van typically offers transport only, often to ad-hoc or informal storage spaces with limited security or paperwork. With us, you get a purpose-built, professionally managed facility with CCTV, controlled access, alarms and clear contracts. Our trained staff understand proper lifting, packing and stacking, and we hold appropriate insurance. You can visit your unit, adjust your space and terms, and rely on stable, transparent pricing. In short, you gain accountability, security and consistent service standards that casual operators cannot usually match.
How far in advance should I book self storage?
Ideally, book as soon as you know you will need storage, especially during busy moving periods such as summer and month-end. This gives you the best choice of unit sizes and move-in dates, and allows time to plan packing and any collection services. However, we understand situations change quickly, so we keep some flexibility for last-minute bookings where possible. Even if your dates are not fully confirmed, we can provide an indicative quotation and provisional arrangements, then firm up details once your plans are final.
