Who Our Self Storage Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you’re decluttering before a sale, renovating, or bridging a gap between homes. We can collect directly from your property, store securely and redeliver when you’re ready to move in.
Renters
If your tenancy dates don’t line up or you’re moving into a smaller place, self storage gives you breathing space. Keep furniture, boxes and seasonal items safely stored without losing them in a rush move.
Landlords
Use our units to hold furniture between tenancies, store replacement items, or clear a property quickly after a tenancy ends. We can also support with professional removals when changing from furnished to unfurnished lets.
Businesses
Perfect for excess stock, archived files, exhibition materials or office furniture during a refit. Our storage ties in seamlessly with our office removals service, keeping downtime to a minimum.
Students
Heading home for the holidays or a placement year? Store books, clothing, kitchen items and small furniture near your Hampstead or central London halls, rather than taking everything back and forth.
What You Can and Can’t Store
Items Commonly Stored
- Household furniture and furnishings
- Clothing, books and personal effects
- IT equipment, office furniture and files
- Sports equipment and hobby items
- Kitchenware and small appliances

Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, the following are not permitted:
- Perishable or open food and drink

If you’re unsure about a particular item, we’ll advise you clearly before you book so there are no surprises on the day.
How Our Self Storage & Removal Process Works
We can offer storage-only, where you bring items to us, or a combined removal and storage service where our trained team handles everything for you.
1. Enquiry & Quote
Get in touch by phone or online. We’ll ask a few questions about what you plan to store, how long for, and whether you’d like us to collect. Based on this, we’ll recommend a unit size and provide a clear, itemised quote with storage fees and any collection/delivery costs.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger homes or business moves into storage, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This helps us confirm access, volumes and any special handling requirements. It ensures we allocate the right van, team and packaging materials, and that you only pay for the space you actually need.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or use our professional packing service. If we pack for you, we use quality boxes, wrapping and protection for fragile and high-value items. Everything is labelled clearly for easy retrieval and eventual redelivery.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional moving team arrives on the agreed date, protects floors and access routes, and carefully loads your belongings. Items are secured in the vehicle and covered by our goods in transit insurance as they travel from your Hampstead property to our storage facility.
5. Unloading & Storage Placement
On arrival, your goods are unloaded methodically into your designated storage unit. We stack and arrange items to maximise space and prevent damage, and can work from an agreed inventory. When you’re ready, we can either give you access to the unit or arrange redelivery back to your new address.
Transparent Pricing
We keep pricing straightforward and transparent so you can budget with confidence.
- Storage is charged by unit size and length of stay
- Collection and redelivery are quoted separately, based on distance, access and labour
- Packing materials and professional packing are optional add-ons
- Insurance during transport is included up to an agreed limit, with options to increase cover if required
There are no hidden charges for basic access to your unit, and we’ll explain any optional extras clearly in writing before you commit.
Why Use Professional Storage & Removals Instead of DIY or Man-and-Van?
Using a casual man-and-van or trying to move into storage yourself can seem cheaper, but often costs more in damage, delays and stress.
- Our teams are trained in safe lifting, packing and loading
- We carry goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- We provide the right protective materials for furniture, mattresses and fragile items
- We know our storage facility inside out, so your goods are stacked securely and logically
- You deal with one accountable, professional company from collection to redelivery
This reduces the risk of breakages, back injuries, arguments with building managers and unexpected extra trips.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a locally established removals and storage company, we operate to clear professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while being moved to and from storage
- Public liability insurance for work carried out at your home, office or building
- Trained, uniformed staff experienced in domestic and commercial moves
- Use of suitable vehicles and equipment for the items and properties we handle
- Clear terms and conditions, including how to declare any particularly high-value items
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat stored goods as if they were our own. That means careful wrapping, sensible stacking and respect for your property and neighbours. We also work to minimise waste and environmental impact:
- Using reusable protective blankets and equipment
- Offering return/reuse of boxes where possible
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Advising on decluttering and responsible disposal before you move into storage
Real-World Self Storage Use Cases
Moving House
If your sale and purchase don’t line up, we can move you out, store your contents safely, and then deliver everything to your new Hampstead or London home when the keys are ready.
Office Relocation or Refurbishment
Businesses use our storage to hold furniture, documents and equipment while they refit or relocate. We can phase collections and deliveries to match your project schedule, keeping disruption to staff and clients to a minimum.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
Sometimes things change quickly – a tenancy ends, a buyer wants a fast completion, or a flood or leak means you need to clear a room in a hurry. Subject to availability, we can provide rapid collection into storage and help stabilise a stressful situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Hampstead cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need and how long you plan to store for. Smaller units for students or a few boxes are naturally cheaper than spaces large enough for a full family home or business stock. We’ll talk through what you’re storing, recommend a sensible size, and give you a clear monthly price. Collection, packing and redelivery are quoted separately, so you only pay for the services you actually need. There are no surprise admin fees or compulsory extras.
Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?
Where our schedule and unit availability allow, we can often arrange same-day or next-day storage for urgent situations. The more information you can give us when you call – property access, rough volume, any parking restrictions – the faster we can respond. In genuinely urgent cases, we prioritise securing your items safely into storage first, then agree redelivery and finer details later. It’s always best to call rather than email for short-notice bookings so we can confirm options immediately.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we’re moving them between your property and our facility. This is included as standard up to an agreed value limit, which we’ll explain before you book. Storage facilities typically require you to have insurance for the period items are in the unit itself; we can guide you on suitable cover or, where available, arrange it as an add-on. Our public liability cover also protects you in the unlikely event of damage to building fabric during our work.
What’s included in your self storage service?
At a basic level, you’re hiring a clean, secure unit of a chosen size, with access during agreed hours and a straightforward monthly fee. Many customers combine this with our professional removals services, including collection from their home or office, optional packing, and eventual redelivery. We also provide standard protective materials when we handle the move, and can assist with inventories for larger or business loads. We’ll outline clearly what’s included in your particular quote so you can compare options easily.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?
A casual man-and-van will usually offer transport only, with no meaningful insurance, limited equipment and little accountability if something goes wrong. With Storage Hampstead, you’re working with a professional, fully insured removals and storage company. Our staff are trained, our vehicles are equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys, and we understand how to pack for safe storage, not just a quick trip. You also get a proper paper trail, clear terms and a single point of contact throughout your time with us.
How far in advance should I book self storage?
For planned moves, booking one to three weeks in advance usually gives you the best choice of dates and unit sizes, especially at busy times such as month-end or summer. That said, we understand property transactions and tenancies often change at the last minute, so we keep some flexibility where we can. If you’re unsure of exact dates, we can pencil in a provisional booking and firm it up once your plans are confirmed. Early contact always makes it easier to secure what you need.
