Who Our Self Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you’re moving home, redecorating or waiting on a completion date, our self storage is ideal for keeping furniture, appliances and personal belongings safe and out of the way. Many local homeowners use us to stage their property for sale, storing bulky items to make rooms feel more spacious.
Renters
Short-term lets, flat shares and changing landlords can make storage tricky. Our flexible agreements give renters the option to store everything from suitcases and bikes to full flat contents, without committing to a long contract. Perfect if you’re between tenancies or travelling.
Landlords
Landlords in and around Haggerston use our units to store furniture sets, white goods, maintenance tools and seasonal items between lets. It keeps properties clear, reduces damage risk, and allows you to turn around tenancies more quickly.
Businesses
From start-ups to established firms, our business storage options are popular with companies needing extra space without the cost of a larger office or warehouse. Store documents, stock, promotional materials, spare furniture and equipment securely, with flexible access hours.
Students
Students at nearby universities and colleges often need storage over the summer or during term-time moves. Our smaller, budget-friendly units are ideal for boxes, clothes, books, bikes and small furniture. You avoid hauling everything back home and can pick it up easily at the start of term.

How Our Self Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Start by contacting Storage Haggerston by phone, email or our online form. Tell us what you need to store and for how long. We’ll recommend suitable unit sizes and provide a clear, no-obligation quote with all costs explained upfront.
2. Storage Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
If you’re unsure about size, we can arrange a quick virtual survey or an onsite visit if we’re also handling your removals. We use our experience to estimate space accurately so you avoid paying for unused capacity or ending up too tight on room.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your belongings yourself, or choose our professional packing service. We use quality materials, blankets and wrapping to protect items during transport and while in storage. Clear labelling and sensible box sizes make later access much easier.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
You’re welcome to bring items to the Haggerston facility yourself, or we can provide a professional removals team to collect from your property. Our crews are experienced in handling awkward access, stairwells and parking restrictions across London.
5. Unloading & Placement in Your Unit
Once at the facility, items are carefully unloaded and placed neatly in your unit. We stack safely, leaving room for access where needed. You secure the unit with your own padlock and retain full control of access for the duration of your stay.
Transparent, Straightforward Pricing
We believe in clear, predictable pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote will show:
- Unit size and weekly or monthly storage rate
- Any collection/removal charges if we’re transporting items for you
- Optional packing and materials costs if requested
- Insurance arrangements and cover levels for your goods
Prices depend on unit size, length of stay and any additional services you choose. Longer-term bookings can attract better rates, and we’ll always suggest the most cost-effective option based on your circumstances.
Why Choose Professional Self Storage Over DIY or Casual Options
Using a proper self storage facility like Storage Haggerston offers several advantages over keeping items in a friend’s garage, a garden shed or using a casual man-and-van setup:
- Security: monitored premises, restricted access and individual unit locks
- Protection: clean, dry units that help prevent damp, mould and pest damage
- Fully insured: appropriate goods in storage cover, unlike many informal options
- Professional handling: if we move your goods, they’re loaded and stacked correctly
- Predictable costs and formal agreement, rather than uncertain or changing arrangements
Insurance & Professional Standards
As experienced removals and storage professionals, we take responsibility for looking after your belongings seriously. Our operations are supported by:
- Goods in transit insurance when we collect and deliver your items
- Public liability cover for work at your home, office and within our facility
- Trained teams experienced in safe lifting, packing and stacking
We’ll explain how cover works, the limits involved and what you need to declare in terms of value so your belongings are properly protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
From initial packing to long-term storage, we focus on care and protection at every stage. Furniture is wrapped and cushioned, boxes are kept off the floor where appropriate, and units are inspected regularly for cleanliness and security.
We’re also working to reduce our environmental impact by:
- Using reusable plastic crates on request for some moves
- Offering high-quality, recyclable packing materials
- Planning collection routes efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage
Looking after your belongings shouldn’t come at the expense of the environment, and we’re committed to improving our practice as better options become available.
Real-World Self Storage Use Cases in Haggerston
Moving House
Chain delays, overlapping completion dates and last-minute issues are common. Self storage gives you a buffer, allowing you to move out on time, store your contents securely, and move into the new property when it’s ready – without rushing or compromising on care.
Office Relocations and Refits
Businesses use our units during office moves or refurbishments to keep furniture, IT equipment and files safe and organised. It means contractors have space to work while your assets remain protected and easy to access when needed.
Urgent and Short-Notice Situations
Life doesn’t always give much warning. Whether it’s an unexpected eviction, emergency repairs, or a sudden decision to relocate, we do our best to offer rapid access to suitable units and, where required, swift removals support to move your items into storage at short notice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Haggerston cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need, how long you’ll be storing for, and whether you’d like us to collect your belongings. Smaller units for boxes and a few items are naturally more affordable than larger spaces for full households or business stock. We price weekly or monthly, with discounts sometimes available for longer stays. When you contact us, we’ll ask a few questions about what you’re storing and provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what you’ll be paying.
Can you provide same-day or urgent self storage?
Where space allows, we can often arrange same-day or very short-notice storage in Haggerston. If you also need transport, we’ll check our removals schedule and aim to allocate a crew and vehicle as quickly as possible. Availability does vary, especially at weekends and at the end of the month, so it’s always best to call us as soon as you know you need space. Even if we’re very busy, we’ll talk through practical options and do our best to find a workable solution.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes, your goods can be covered while in storage, but it’s important to understand how the cover works. We hold appropriate insurance for our operation and can arrange goods cover up to an agreed value, based on what you store and any specific requirements. We’ll explain the limits, exclusions and any conditions when you book. In some cases, you may choose to extend or supplement this with your own policy. Our team will outline all options so you can make an informed decision before you move in.
What’s included in your self storage service?
Our core service includes a clean, secure storage unit, access during agreed hours, monitoring, and the facility’s basic running costs. You can then add optional services to suit your needs: professional packing, supply of boxes and materials, collection and delivery by our removals team, and help with loading and unloading. We tailor everything to your situation, whether you simply want a unit and handle the rest yourself, or prefer a fully managed solution where we take care of the heavy lifting and logistics for you.
How is your service different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without a secure, dedicated storage facility or formal insurance for long-term storage. At Storage Haggerston, we combine professional removals expertise with a purpose-built self storage site. Your belongings are stored in an individually locked unit within a monitored environment, with clear paperwork and agreed cover. Our trained staff handle items correctly, plan access, and provide continuity from collection through to final delivery, offering a much more robust and reliable service.
How far in advance should I book self storage?
Ideally, book as soon as you know you’ll need space – particularly during busy periods such as summer, month-end and around major holidays. A week or two’s notice is usually enough to guarantee your preferred unit size and arrange any packing or removals support. That said, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate last-minute bookings where capacity allows. Even if your dates aren’t fixed, it’s worth discussing options early so we can pencil in provisional arrangements.
