We regularly support customers across East Sheen, Mortlake, Richmond, Sheen Lane and surrounding postcodes, so we understand typical flat layouts, tight stairwells and parking challenges in the area. Our trained teams come prepared with the correct equipment and protection to handle these safely.
Who Our Self Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, renovating or simply creating more space at home, our storage units are ideal for furniture, seasonal items and family belongings. We can collect directly from your door and place items into storage for as long as you need.
Renters
Tenants often need flexible, short-term storage when moving between rentals or waiting for a new tenancy to start. We offer convenient, contract-friendly storage that fits around your move dates, with options for small or larger units.
Landlords
Landlords use our storage for surplus furniture, appliances and fixtures during refurbishments or between lets. We help you clear properties quickly, store items safely and return them when you are ready to re-furnish.
Businesses
Local businesses in East Sheen rely on us for document archives, stock, tools, POS materials and office furniture. We provide secure access, consistent conditions and the option to arrange professional collection and redelivery when things need to move.
Students
Students needing storage over holidays or when changing accommodation can share a unit with friends to keep costs sensible. We commonly store suitcases, books, small furniture and IT equipment for local and London-based students.

How Our Self Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with details of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few practical questions about volume, access and timing so we can recommend the right unit size and any additional services such as collection or packing.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves into storage, we offer a professional survey, either virtually via video call or in person. This allows us to assess the volume accurately, identify any access challenges and suggest the best combination of unit size and removals support, helping to avoid wasted space and unexpected costs.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or we can provide a full or partial packing service. When we pack, we use quality materials, including double-walled boxes, export wrap and furniture covers. Everything is labelled clearly for easy retrieval, and fragile items are given extra protection before being moved to storage.
4. Loading & Transport
On the agreed day, our trained team arrives on time with the correct vehicle and equipment. We protect floors and banisters where needed, dismantle agreed furniture and load items safely onto our vehicle. Your goods are then transported directly to our East Sheen storage facility under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
On arrival, we unload and place your items into your allocated unit in an organised way, keeping heavier pieces at the bottom and ensuring access to anything you may need sooner. We secure the unit and confirm arrangements for future access or redelivery back to your property or new address.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will typically include:
- Monthly storage fee based on unit size and duration
- Optional collection and delivery charges
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Insurance cover, where requested or required
There are no hidden admin charges for standard bookings. If your needs change, we can usually adjust your unit size, and we will always explain any cost differences in advance so you can make an informed decision.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using a professional storage provider offers important advantages over a casual man-and-van or improvised garage space. Your belongings are handled by trained staff using the correct equipment, greatly reducing the risk of damage. Our units are purpose-built, dry and secure, unlike sheds or shared garages which can suffer from damp and pests.
In addition, we provide clear contracts, goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, so you know exactly where you stand if something goes wrong. With a man-and-van, these protections are often limited or missing altogether.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to high professional standards to protect both you and your belongings:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being moved between your property and our storage facility.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage or injury during our work at your property.
- Trained moving teams – our staff receive regular training in safe lifting, packing and protective handling of furniture and delicate items.
We are always happy to explain coverage levels and help you decide whether to rely on our policy, your own home insurance, or a combination of both.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Every item we store is handled with care. We use quilted covers, furniture blankets and stretch wrap where appropriate, and we can supply mattress covers and specialist packaging on request. Floors and walls are protected during collection to minimise any risk to your property.
We are also mindful of sustainability. We reuse sturdy cartons where appropriate, encourage clients to recycle materials after use, and plan our vehicle routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions. Well-packed units make more efficient use of space, which in turn reduces the overall environmental impact.
Common Real-World Storage Uses
Moving House
Chains do not always line up neatly. If you have a gap between completion dates, we can move everything into storage for a few days, weeks or months, then deliver to your new property when you are ready. This avoids rushing or compromising on your move.
Office Relocation
Businesses relocating often need temporary storage for furniture, equipment or archived files. We can decommission your old office, store everything safely and bring it into your new space in stages as it becomes ready.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
Sometimes circumstances change quickly – a sudden sale, urgent repairs or a relationship breakdown. Our flexible self storage allows you to secure your belongings quickly while you focus on the bigger decisions. Subject to availability, we can often arrange rapid collection and storage at short notice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in East Sheen cost?
The cost depends mainly on the unit size you need and how long you plan to store for. Smaller units suitable for boxes and a few small items are naturally cheaper than larger units designed for full house contents or business stock. Your quote will clearly show the monthly storage fee, plus any optional services such as collection, delivery and packing. We will always help you choose the most efficient size so you are not paying for unused space. There are no hidden charges for standard bookings.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage, especially for smaller loads. If you are able to bring items directly to our East Sheen facility, we can usually allocate a unit quickly once paperwork and payment are completed. For urgent collections, availability depends on our vehicle and crew schedule on that particular day. If we cannot move everything immediately, we may be able to prioritise essentials first and return for the remainder soon after.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them between your property and our facility. For the period they are stored, cover can be arranged either through our recommended policy or via your own home or business insurance, depending on your preference. We will discuss the value of your items and explain the options clearly, including any limits or exclusions. Our aim is for you to have appropriate, transparent protection from collection through to final delivery.
What is included in your self storage service?
At its simplest, our service includes a secure, clean storage unit in East Sheen, plus support from our office team. Many clients add optional extras such as collection from their property, professional packing, supply of boxes and materials, and redelivery from storage to a new address. We can also dismantle and reassemble standard furniture when combining storage with removals. Your written quote will list everything included so you know exactly what to expect and can tailor the service to suit your needs.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without proper insurance, protective materials or a secure storage facility. By contrast, we provide purpose-built units, trained staff, documented procedures and both goods in transit insurance and public liability cover. We carefully plan access, pack and load safely and maintain organised records of what is stored. This level of professionalism reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes and gives you a clear point of contact throughout your time in storage.
How far in advance should I book storage?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you know your likely dates, particularly during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives you the best choice of unit sizes and allows us to schedule any removals or packing support you need. That said, we understand that plans can change, so we do our best to accommodate shorter notice where possible. If your dates are uncertain, we can often reserve a provisional slot and confirm details closer to the time, subject to availability.
