Free up loft, garage or spare-room space without throwing a thing away. Compare small, affordable UK self storage units for seasonal kit, hobby gear and sentimental items.
Real reasons people in your shoes use self storage — not generic marketing talk.
Turn a cluttered spare room back into an office, nursery or guest room without binning a thing.
Skis, camping gear, Christmas decorations and garden furniture out of sight until you need them.
Photo albums, kids' artwork and inherited heirlooms safe and accessible without filling the loft.
A 25 sq ft unit costs as little as £15-25/month — less than a streaming bundle for proper space.
Honest answers to the questions movers, businesses and families ask us most.
Most decluttering projects fit comfortably in a 25-50 sq ft unit. 25 sq ft holds roughly 30 large boxes (a garden shed's worth). 50 sq ft fits the contents of a small one-bedroom flat including some furniture. If you're storing bikes, kayaks or larger sports gear, size up to 75 sq ft.
Almost anything domestic: clothes, books, seasonal decorations, sports equipment, baby and children's gear (cots, prams, toys you're saving for a sibling), hobby equipment, tools, garden furniture, archives and paperwork. There are restrictions on perishable food, plants, live animals, flammables, firearms and anything illegal — your facility will share a full list at sign-up.
Start with the 'maybe' pile rather than what's clearly junk. Items you can't bear to bin but don't need this year are the perfect candidates for storage. Pack into uniform boxes (Really Useful boxes or storage tubs), label every side, and keep an inventory list on your phone. Place items you'll want sooner near the door.
If you're a homeowner, the cost of extending or moving to a larger home dwarfs years of storage rent. If you're renting, freeing up a spare room can let you downsize to a cheaper flat. For most households a small unit pays for itself in either reclaimed space, sanity, or rent saved.
