Protect sofas, beds, tables and bulky items in climate-controlled UK self storage. Compare indoor and container options on weekly all-in price near you.
Real reasons people in your shoes use self storage — not generic marketing talk.
Indoor units keep humidity stable, preventing warping, mould and damage to wood and upholstery.
Container and ground-floor units let you reverse a van right up to the door — no long carries.
Whether it's for one month or two years, furniture stored properly comes out exactly as it went in.
Bulky items like sofas pack tall — a smaller unit goes further than you'd think with the right plan.
Honest answers to the questions movers, businesses and families ask us most.
Indoor units (inside a heated building) are best for upholstered, wooden and antique pieces — they stay dry, dust-free and at a stable temperature. Shipping containers are cheaper and offer drive-up access but condense moisture in cold weather, so they're best for sturdy items, garden furniture or short stays.
Disassemble what you can (bed frames, table legs, modular sofas) to save space and prevent stress damage. Wrap upholstery in breathable cotton sheets — never plastic, which traps moisture. Stand mattresses on their long edge in a mattress bag, place wooden items on pallets or cardboard off the floor, and leave a small gap between items for air circulation.
A 25 sq ft unit fits a small sofa plus a few boxes. A 50 sq ft unit holds the contents of a one-bedroom flat including a bed, sofa and dining set. A 100 sq ft unit comfortably holds a full 2-3 bedroom house worth of furniture if packed efficiently.
Not if you choose a reputable facility and pack correctly. The two main risks are damp (mitigated by climate-controlled indoor units) and physical damage in transit (mitigated by proper wrapping and disassembly). Many facilities sell mattress bags, sofa covers and furniture pads at reception.
