UK-wide equivalent: roughly £97 to £131/month for the same size. Actual quoted prices vary widely between facilities, which is exactly why it pays to compare.

An honest benchmark, not a sales pitch
We use the latest industry-wide operator revenue data, the same numbers the storage industry publishes about itself, to give you a realistic monthly cost band before you start enquiring.
Pick region & size
Choose one of nine SSA regions and a typical unit size, from 25 sq ft (a few boxes) up to 150 sq ft (3-bed contents).

What the band actually means
The figure is an indicative monthly cost derived from regional operator revenue per sq ft. That's a useful benchmark, but it's an industry-wide operator metric, so actual quoted weekly prices for a real unit vary by facility, size, access hours and current offers.
- Around 46% of people surveyed expect storage to cost over £150 per month.
- Quoted prices vary widely between facilities in the same area, which is why comparing pays.
- Falling regional prices in 2025 mean booking later isn't always cheaper.
- Offers like 50% off the first 8 weeks are common, so always ask.
