Who Our Self Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are moving house, renovating, or decluttering ahead of a sale, secure storage can make life far easier. Store furniture, seasonal items, family heirlooms and bulky belongings safely away from dust, damage and disruption while you get your home in order.
Renters
Tenancy changes often happen quickly. Our flexible contracts are ideal if you are between properties, downsizing, or sharing a flat and need extra space. Keep your possessions safe while you find the right place without being tied into a long lease.
Landlords
Landlords in Northolt use our self storage to hold furniture, appliances and maintenance equipment between lets or during refurbishments. It is a practical way to protect your assets, avoid cluttering properties and keep items ready for the next tenancy.
Businesses
From sole traders to established companies, our units are well suited for stock, tools, archive documents, exhibition materials and office furniture. Many local businesses use our facility as an off-site storeroom, avoiding expensive commercial leases while keeping items secure and accessible.
Students
Students often need storage over the summer or during a placement year. Store books, clothes, small furniture and personal items securely between terms without hauling everything home and back again. Flexible short-term options mean you only pay for the time you need.

Our self storage units are suitable for most typical household and business items, including:
- Furniture, beds, sofas, wardrobes and tables
- Boxes of clothes, books, toys and personal belongings
- Office furniture, filing, archive boxes and equipment
- Tools, trade equipment and materials (subject to safety rules)
- Sports equipment, bikes and hobby items
- Kitchenware, small appliances and ornaments

If you are unsure whether an item is suitable, our trained team will advise before you move in.
How Our Self Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Storage Northolt by phone or online with details of what you need to store and for how long. We will recommend a suitable unit size and provide a clear, no-obligation quotation. We explain all charges upfront so you know exactly what you are paying for.
2. 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 you are welcome to visit our facility. With years of removals and storage experience, we are skilled at estimating the right unit size, helping you avoid overpaying for unused space.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your belongings yourself or add our packing service. Our professional team uses quality materials and sensible loading methods to protect your belongings in transit and in storage. We can supply boxes, bubble wrap, tape and protective covers if you prefer to pack independently.
4. Loading & Transport
Bring your items to the facility yourself, or we can combine storage with our removals service. Our vehicles are equipped for safe, secure transport. If we handle the move, we load carefully, using blankets and straps to minimise movement and reduce the risk of damage.
5. Unloading & Placement in Your Unit
On arrival, items are unloaded and placed neatly in your allocated unit. We arrange belongings logically, keeping clear walkways so you can access your things easily later. If we are moving you out of a property, we can manage the full process, from collection to final lock-up, saving you significant time and effort.
Transparent Self Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your monthly storage cost is based on:
- Unit size (measured by floor space and height)
- Length of stay (short-term or long-term discounts)
- Optional extras, such as packing materials and removals transport
There are no hidden administration fees or surprise charges. We will always explain our rates and any promotions available. As experienced removals professionals, we will also help you choose an efficient unit size so that you are not paying for more space than necessary.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Options
Using a professional storage and removals company like Storage Northolt offers several important advantages over DIY or informal man-and-van arrangements:
- Security: Purpose-designed storage with monitored access and robust locking systems.
- Protection: Units designed to protect furniture and belongings, reducing the risk of damp or accidental damage.
- Reliability: Booked times, written agreements and proper documentation rather than informal verbal promises.
- Insurance: Appropriate cover for your goods, something many casual providers simply do not offer.
- Expert handling: Our trained teams know how to lift, stack and protect items properly, lowering the risk of breakages.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your peace of mind is central to what we do. Storage Northolt operates to clear professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance on our vehicles when we move your belongings to or from storage.
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property while we are working on site.
- Trained moving teams with practical experience in lifting, packing and loading.
We handle your possessions with the same care we would use for our own, keeping clear records and agreements so everything is properly documented.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
From our removals background, we know that prevention is better than cure. We encourage good packing, use padded protection where appropriate and plan loads so items are stable in transit and storage. Wherever possible we use reusable crates and durable protective materials to reduce waste, and we re-use or recycle cardboard and wrapping responsibly. Looking after your belongings and the environment go hand in hand.
Common Real-World Uses for Our Self Storage
Moving House
When completion dates do not quite line up, our storage provides a safe home for your belongings between properties. We can collect from your old address, store securely, then deliver to your new home when you are ready.
Office Relocation or Refurbishment
Businesses use our units to hold furniture, files and equipment during moves or office fit-outs. This keeps worksites clear and safe while protecting valuable assets until your new layout is ready.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
Life does not always give much notice. If you need fast storage because of a sudden move, change of tenancy or urgent building work, we will do our best to offer rapid access to a suitable unit and, where needed, short-notice removals support.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Northolt cost?
The cost depends mainly on the size of unit you need and how long you plan to store your items. Smaller units suitable for boxes and a few pieces of furniture are naturally cheaper than larger spaces for full household contents or business stock. We price monthly, with discounts sometimes available for longer stays. There are no hidden fees, and we will always provide a clear written quotation before you commit. Contact us with a rough list of items and we will help you choose an efficient unit size.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where space allows, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage. If you face an unexpected move, emergency repairs, or a sudden change of plans, call us as early as possible and we will check live availability. In many cases we can also provide urgent removals transport to collect your belongings and place them directly into storage. While we cannot guarantee same-day space at all times, we always try to prioritise genuine urgent situations and offer practical alternatives if your ideal unit size is not immediately available.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Our facility is designed to be secure and we operate with appropriate business insurance, including public liability. For your stored contents, we can arrange or recommend suitable cover, or you may be able to extend your home or business insurance to include items in storage. When we transport your goods to or from our facility, they are protected by our goods in transit insurance, subject to terms and declared values. We will explain the options clearly so you can decide the level of cover that best fits the value and importance of your belongings.
What is included in your self storage service?
Our core service includes a clean, secure storage unit of an agreed size, access during our opening hours, locks or guidance on suitable locking, and friendly support from our professional team. We can also supply packing materials at competitive prices. If required, we offer additional services such as expert packing, collection, and delivery using our removals vehicles. These extras are optional and clearly itemised in your quotation, so you can keep things simple or choose a fully managed solution depending on your budget and circumstances.
How is professional storage different from using a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service typically focuses only on transport, often without a dedicated storage facility, formal agreements or comprehensive insurance. Storage Northolt provides purpose-built self storage with proper security measures, documented contracts and clear procedures. Our trained staff understand safe lifting, packing and stacking, and we operate with goods in transit insurance and public liability cover. You also benefit from a stable, fixed-location facility where you can access your belongings, rather than relying on someone’s garage or ad-hoc arrangements that may not protect your possessions properly.
How far in advance should I book storage?
If you know your dates, it is wise to reserve a unit one to two weeks ahead, especially during busy moving seasons when demand is higher. Early booking gives you the best choice of unit sizes and allows time to organise packing and transport calmly. That said, we understand plans can change quickly, so we also handle many short-notice bookings. Simply get in touch as soon as you think you may need storage and we will advise on availability, practical timings and any preparation that will make move-in day smoother.
