Whether you are between moves, renovating, running a local business or simply short on space, we provide practical storage solutions backed by professional, local knowledge.
Who Our Self Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, renovating or downsizing, our storage is ideal for furniture, appliances, seasonal items and keepsakes. Store your belongings safely while you redecorate or prepare your home for viewings, without cluttering your living space.
Renters
For tenants in Strawberry Hill’s flats and maisonettes, space is at a premium. Our units give you room for spare furniture, sports kit, hobby equipment and personal archives, with flexible terms that work around tenancy changes and short-term leases.
Landlords
Local landlords use our self storage to hold furniture, white goods and furnishings between tenancies, or to store fixtures when switching between furnished and unfurnished lets. It’s a straightforward way to protect your assets without overfilling your own property.
Businesses
We support small and medium businesses across Strawberry Hill and Twickenham with storage for stock, exhibition equipment, archive boxes and tools. Our secure units offer an affordable alternative to taking on larger commercial premises, with clear invoicing and business-friendly access.
Students
With good connections to London universities and colleges, students use our facility to store belongings over the summer, during placements or when changing accommodation. Share a unit with course mates to keep costs sensible and avoid repeated long-distance trips.

- Sofas, beds, tables, wardrobes and other furniture

Our Step-by-Step Self Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or via our online form with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We will recommend an appropriate unit size and provide a clear, no-obligation price based on your requirements. There are no hidden extras for basic access and security.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
If you are unsure about the space you need, we can carry out a quick virtual survey using photos or video, or you can visit our Strawberry Hill site for an in-person look. This helps you avoid paying for more space than you actually need, and ensures your chosen unit size will work in practice.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack and prepare your items yourself, or, if required, we can provide a professional packing service and supply quality boxes, wrapping materials and tape. We always recommend using strong cartons, bubble wrap and proper labelling so items remain protected and easy to find while in storage.
4. Loading & Transport
Bring your items to our facility using your own vehicle, or combine storage with our removals service and let our trained team collect from your home or office. Our staff are trained in correct lifting and stacking techniques to minimise the risk of damage in transit and while loading your unit.
5. Unloading & Placement in Your Unit
On arrival, you unload directly into your allocated unit. We are on hand to advise on safe stacking, access aisles and making the most of the space. You keep your own key or lock combination, giving you control over who can access your belongings during the storage period.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
Our pricing is straightforward and easy to understand. Unit costs are based on:
- Unit size (from small locker-style spaces to larger rooms)
- Length of stay (short-term or ongoing storage)
- Any additional services, such as packing or collection
We explain all charges before you commit, and confirm everything in writing. There are no unexpected administration fees, and we will always tell you if there is a more cost-effective option, such as downsizing your unit once you have had a clear-out.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY Garages or Casual Options
Storing items in a friend’s garage, a damp shed or with a casual man-and-van may seem cheaper, but it often leads to damage, mould, loss and disputes. Our self storage facility offers:
- Clean, dry, purpose-built units
- Monitored access and security measures
- Clear terms and conditions for your protection
- Optional support from trained removals staff when moving items in and out
This professional approach significantly reduces the risk of loss or damage, and gives you a clear point of contact if you need help.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a storage and removals operator, we maintain robust insurance and operating standards:
- Goods in transit insurance when we collect or deliver your items as part of our removals service
- Public liability cover for work carried out on your premises and within our facility
- Trained teams who handle your belongings using industry-approved methods and equipment
While your own contents or business policy may cover items in storage, we can also arrange additional cover where required. We are happy to discuss options so you understand exactly what is protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat stored items with the same care as if they were part of a full removal. That means advising on proper packing, careful stacking and using covers for soft furnishings and mattresses. Our facility is kept clean and well ventilated to help guard against damp and dust.
We also take a practical approach to sustainability. We prioritise reusable crates where possible, encourage customers to reuse or recycle packing materials and consolidate journeys when providing collection or delivery, helping to reduce unnecessary mileage around Strawberry Hill and beyond.
Common Self Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Use our units as a buffer when completion dates do not line up, or when you want to declutter before putting a property on the market. We can combine self storage with a full removals service for a smooth, staged move.
Office Relocation or Refurbishment
Businesses use our storage to hold furniture, files and equipment during relocations, or while refurbishing existing premises. We can move items in phases, helping you maintain operations with minimal disruption.
Urgent or Short-Notice Needs
Life does not always give much warning. Whether you face an unexpected tenancy change, emergency works at home or a sudden influx of business stock, we do our best to offer fast, flexible storage options. Where possible, we can arrange same-day or next-day access and collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Strawberry Hill cost?
Costs depend on the size of unit you choose and how long you need it. Smaller units suitable for boxes and a few small items are naturally cheaper than larger spaces suitable for full households or business stock. We price per week or per month, with discounts available for longer-term commitments. There are no hidden charges for standard access or security. Contact us with a rough list of items and we will provide a clear, written quote tailored to your exact needs.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where we have availability, we will always try to arrange same-day or next-day storage for urgent situations, such as last-minute tenancy changes, emergency repairs or delayed completion dates. If you can bring items to us, we will set up a unit and paperwork quickly. If you also require collection, our ability to respond on the same day will depend on existing removals bookings, but we will advise honestly and do our best to accommodate you.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
When we collect or deliver your goods as part of a removals service, they are covered by our goods in transit insurance. While items are in storage, many customers choose to cover them under their own home or business insurance, which often includes an option for stored contents. If you do not have suitable cover, we can discuss additional insurance options for extra peace of mind. We are fully transparent about what is and is not included, so you can make an informed decision.
What is included in your self storage service?
Our core service includes a clean, secure unit, monitored facility access, basic on-site assistance and clear contractual terms. You are free to access your belongings during agreed opening hours. Optional extras include packing materials, a professional packing service and collection or delivery using our removals vehicles and staff. We will explain all available services and their costs upfront, so you can choose the level of support that best suits your situation and budget.
How is professional storage different from a casual man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van arrangement typically offers short-term transport only, with little or no control over where items are kept afterwards. By contrast, we provide purpose-built, secure units, formal contracts, insured removals options and trained staff who handle your belongings properly. You retain control over access to your unit, and you have a clear, accountable point of contact for any questions. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes compared with informal arrangements.
How far in advance should I book storage?
If you know your dates, booking one to two weeks in advance is ideal, especially during busy moving periods such as summer and month-end. However, we understand that storage needs can arise suddenly, so we always keep some flexibility in our schedule. Even if your timings are uncertain, we are happy to discuss options, pencil in provisional dates and adjust as your plans firm up. The earlier you get in touch, the easier it is for us to reserve the right space for you.
