Who Our Self Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you’re renovating, redecorating or moving house, our units are ideal for storing furniture, boxes and seasonal items. Store as little or as much as you like, from a few valuables to the contents of an entire home.
Renters
Renters often need short-term flexibility. Use our self storage to keep belongings safe between tenancies, while you travel, or when your current property simply doesn’t have enough space.
Landlords
Landlords use our facility for storing furniture, appliances and materials between lets, during refurbishments, or when switching between furnished and unfurnished tenancies. It’s a simple way to protect assets without cluttering up your own home or office.
Businesses
From online retailers to tradespeople and professional services, our business storage options provide space for stock, files, tools, display stands and equipment. You get the benefit of secure storage without the cost and commitment of a full warehouse or office.
Students
Students in Kentish Town and nearby universities can store belongings safely over the summer or during placements. Rather than dragging everything home, place your items in a small unit and collect them when term starts again.

How Our Self Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with an idea of what you need to store and for how long. We will recommend a suitable unit size and provide a clear quotation with no hidden extras. Where helpful, we can also arrange our removals and collection service to transport your items into storage.
2. Storage Survey & Unit Selection
We can talk you through unit sizes over the phone, via video call or at our Kentish Town facility. A quick survey of your items – virtual or onsite – helps us avoid over- or under-sizing your unit, so you only pay for the space you genuinely need.
3. Packing & Preparation
You are welcome to pack and prepare your belongings yourself, or you can request our professional packing service. We use quality cartons, wrapping materials and protective covers. Fragile and high-value items receive extra protection, ensuring they remain safe for however long they are stored.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
You can bring your items directly to our Kentish Town facility using your own vehicle, or book our trained removals team to handle collection. Our vehicles are equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys to keep everything stable in transit. On arrival, we help position items sensibly within your unit for secure, efficient use of space.
5. Safe Storage, Access & Support
Once in storage, your unit is locked and accessible during agreed opening hours. Our facility features monitored access and robust security measures. If you need advice on reorganising your unit, upsizing or downsizing, or arranging onward transport, our experienced team is available to help.
Transparent Pricing and Flexible Terms
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your storage cost is based on:
- Unit size (from small lockers to larger rooms)
- Length of stay (short- and long-term options)
- Any optional services (packing, collection, delivery)
There are no hidden access or admin fees. We explain all charges upfront so you can budget with confidence. Discounts may be available for longer-term bookings and business customers storing multiple units; we are happy to provide tailored quotes for regular commercial use.
Why Choose Professional Self Storage Over a Casual Option
Using a professional facility like Self Storage Kentish Town offers major benefits over ad-hoc storage in a friend’s garage or a casual lock-up:
- Security: Purpose-built units with controlled access and regular checks.
- Condition: Clean, dry storage helps prevent damp, mould and pest damage.
- Insurance: Our cover supports appropriate protection for your goods, unlike informal arrangements.
- Flexibility: Change unit size or end your storage with proper notice.
- Professional support: Advice from an experienced removals and storage team.
For many people, the value of knowing possessions are properly protected easily outweighs the small cost difference compared with casual options.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a facility run by an established removals professional, we take standards seriously. Our storage service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance when you use our vehicles to bring items into or out of storage.
- Public liability cover for safe operation at our premises.
- Trained, professional staff who understand safe handling, lifting and stacking techniques.
We will explain how insurance applies to your specific situation, including any need to advise your own contents insurer. Our goal is to ensure you fully understand the level of protection in place before you store.
Care, Protection and Sustainable Practices
Looking after your belongings properly starts with careful preparation. We encourage the use of sturdy, reusable crates and cartons, and we can supply high-quality packing materials where needed. Our team advises on how to wrap, label and stack items so they remain in good condition throughout storage.
We are mindful of sustainability, aiming to minimise waste by reusing protective blankets, recycling packaging where appropriate, and recommending packing approaches that avoid unnecessary materials. Efficient use of unit space also means you are not paying to store empty air.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Kentish Town cost?
Prices depend mainly on the size of unit you need and how long you plan to store for. Smaller units suitable for boxes and a few small items cost less than larger rooms designed for the contents of a full property or business stock. We provide clear weekly or monthly rates with no hidden access fees. Longer-term bookings and business customers may benefit from discounted rates. The easiest way to get an accurate figure is to tell us roughly what you need to store and we’ll recommend an appropriate unit size and price.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day storage in Kentish Town. If you also need help collecting your items, our removals team can usually respond at short notice, especially for local moves. Availability will depend on unit space and vehicle scheduling, so it’s best to call as early as possible in the day. Even if you’re under pressure from a landlord or an unexpected change of plans, we’ll do our best to find a practical short-term solution and then refine the arrangement once things have settled.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
When we transport your items to and from the facility using our vehicles, they’re covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to standard terms and limits. While in storage, you may be covered by your existing home or business insurance, or you can arrange separate cover if needed. We’ll explain how our own policies operate and what information your insurer may require, such as the facility address and security measures. Our aim is to ensure you have suitable protection in place and a clear understanding of what is and isn’t covered before you sign your storage agreement.
What’s included in your self storage service?
Our core service includes a clean, dry, secure storage unit in Kentish Town, access during agreed opening hours, and support from our professional on-site team. You can also add optional services such as packing, supply of boxes and materials, collection from your property, and redelivery when you’re ready. We help you choose the right unit size, advise on packing and stacking, and remain available if you need to adjust your unit or extend your stay. Everything is designed to be straightforward, with clear terms and no surprise charges.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van and lock-up?
A casual man-and-van combined with an informal lock-up may look cheaper at first glance, but it rarely offers the same level of protection or reliability. Our service combines trained movers, proper handling equipment, a secure, well-maintained facility and clear insurance arrangements. Units are purpose-built, with controlled access and regular oversight, reducing the risks of damp, damage or loss. You also benefit from professional support when planning space, moving in and moving out. For valuable possessions or business stock, this higher standard of care and accountability is usually worth the modest extra cost.
How far in advance should I book storage?
If you know your dates, booking one to two weeks ahead is ideal, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives you the best choice of unit sizes and allows time to arrange packing and transport. However, life is not always predictable, and we regularly accommodate last-minute requests where space and schedules allow. Even if your plans are uncertain, we can provisionally discuss options and unit sizes so that when you are ready to confirm, the process is quick and straightforward.
