Who Our Self Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you’re selling, renovating or decluttering, our self storage is ideal for keeping furniture, appliances and personal possessions out of the way yet easily accessible. Many homeowners use us for short-term storage between house moves or while builders are in.
Renters
If you’re between tenancies, house-sharing, or moving into a smaller flat, we provide flexible units that can grow or shrink with your needs. Store boxes, bikes, seasonal items and spare furniture without cluttering your living space.
Landlords
Landlords use our storage for surplus furniture, white goods and maintenance equipment between lets. We offer convenient access hours so you can retrieve or swap items quickly when preparing properties for new tenants.
Businesses
From tradespeople and online retailers to local offices, our storage units work well for stock, tools, archives and equipment. It’s a cost-effective alternative to taking on a larger lease, with the flexibility to adjust your space as your business changes.
Students
Students in Bounds Green and nearby campuses often need storage between terms or during placements. Our smaller units and shared storage options are ideal for suitcases, books, small furniture and course materials when you’re away.

How Our Self Storage Service Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with an outline of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll discuss the volume of items, access requirements and any special considerations, then recommend a suitable unit size. You’ll receive a clear, no-obligation quote with all expected costs explained.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
To help avoid over- or under-booking space, we can carry out a quick virtual survey using photos or video, or arrange a visit if you’d like us to assess items at your home or office. This ensures you only pay for the space you actually need and can plan your move into storage more efficiently.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can provide professional packing and materials such as boxes, bubble wrap and furniture covers. We’ll advise on how to pack to protect fragile items, label boxes clearly and maximise the use of your unit. Proper packing reduces the risk of damage and makes retrieval much easier later.
4. Loading & Transport
You’re welcome to bring goods in your own vehicle, or we can combine our removals and storage services to handle the loading and transport for you. Our trained team use blankets, straps and trolleys to protect and move your belongings safely. We’ll schedule arrival to suit you and minimise disruption to neighbours or your business.
5. Unloading & Placement in Your Unit
At our Bounds Green facility, we’ll guide you to your unit and, if we’re transporting for you, carefully stack items to make best use of the space. Heavier items are placed at the bottom, with clear walkways where possible so you can access things you might need during storage. When your term ends, we can again offer transport to your new address if required.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
Our pricing is simple and transparent. The main factors affecting cost are:
- Unit size (measured in square or cubic feet)
- Length of stay (short-term or long-term discounts)
- Optional services such as packing, materials and transport
You’ll receive a clear breakdown before you commit, with no hidden admin fees. We offer flexible terms, from a few weeks to long-term storage, with straightforward notice periods if your plans change.
Why Choose Professional Storage and Removals Over DIY
Doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van might look cheaper on paper, but it often proves more stressful and risky. With Storage Bounds Green you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to handle and protect furniture and fragile items
- Purpose-built equipment: trolleys, blankets, straps and ramps
- Secure, monitored storage rather than ad-hoc garages or sheds
- Proper goods in transit cover and public liability insurance
- Clear agreements, invoices and professional standards of service
This reduces the likelihood of damage, disputes and unexpected costs, while saving you time and physical effort.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take the safety of your belongings seriously. Our operation is fully insured and run to high professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance when we transport your items to or from the facility
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property while we’re working on-site
- Secure, monitored premises with CCTV and controlled access
- Trained, uniformed staff working to clear procedures and checklists
We’ll explain exactly what is covered and can point you towards additional cover options if you’re storing particularly high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your possessions as if they were our own. Protective covers, careful stacking and correct lifting techniques are standard practice. We also aim to minimise our environmental impact by:
- Re-using and recycling packing materials where safe and appropriate
- Offering durable crates as an alternative to single-use boxes (subject to availability)
- Planning transport efficiently to reduce unnecessary journeys
By helping you store items instead of discarding them, we also support a more sustainable approach to managing space during moves, renovations and business changes.
Real-World Ways Our Self Storage Helps
Moving House
When completion dates don’t quite align or you’re staging your property for sale, our self storage provides a safe holding space for furniture and boxes. Combined with our removals service, it smooths out the gaps and reduces pressure on moving day.
Office and Business Relocations
Businesses use our facility to store office furniture, files and stock during refurbishments, relocations or seasonal peaks. We can coordinate collections and deliveries outside normal working hours to keep disruption to a minimum.
Urgent and Short-Notice Storage
Life doesn’t always give much notice. If you need space quickly due to a sudden move, inheritance, separation or emergency works at your property, we’ll do our best to arrange same-day or next-day storage and, where possible, transport support.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Bounds Green cost?
Costs depend on the size of unit you need, how long you plan to store for and whether you require extras such as packing or transport. Smaller units for boxes and a few items are naturally cheaper than larger, full-household spaces. We price per week or month with discounts for longer stays, and all charges are clearly outlined before you commit. There are no hidden admin fees. Contact us with a rough list of items and we’ll recommend an appropriate unit size and provide a tailored quote.
Can you offer same-day or urgent self storage?
In many cases, yes. If we have suitable units available, we can set up storage on the same day or at short notice. This is particularly useful if a move date changes suddenly, you experience a flood or leak, or you need to clear space quickly. Call us as early as possible and we’ll confirm availability, arrange paperwork and, if required, organise our removals team to collect and deliver your items into storage. While we can’t guarantee same-day every time, we always do our best to accommodate urgent situations.
What insurance cover do you provide for stored items?
Our facility is protected by building insurance and security, and when we transport your goods they are covered by our goods in transit insurance. However, individual item cover for goods in storage is often arranged through your own home or business policy, or through additional storage insurance. We’ll explain what our insurance includes, typical limits and any exclusions, so you can decide whether you need extra cover. If you’re unsure, we can provide documentation for your insurer and guidance on the level of protection that’s appropriate for the value of your belongings.
What’s included in your self storage service?
Our core service includes a secure, lockable unit, access during our published opening hours, on-site staff during staffed hours, and use of basic handling equipment such as trolleys. We can also supply packing materials, arrange professional packing and provide removals transport as optional extras. You’re free to load and organise your unit as you prefer, or we can do this for you as part of a combined removals and storage package. All terms, access arrangements and any additional services are explained and agreed in writing before you move in.
How is professional storage different from using a cheap man-and-van and a garage?
With a casual man-and-van and ad-hoc garage or lock-up, there’s often little or no formal contract, unclear insurance and limited security. Our professional service provides a secure, purpose-built facility with CCTV, controlled access and clear terms and conditions. Your items are handled by trained staff, covered by appropriate insurance, and stored in a clean, dry environment. This greatly reduces the risk of damage, theft or disputes. The slightly higher initial cost is often offset by peace of mind, better protection and more efficient use of space.
How far in advance should I book a storage unit?
During busy periods such as summer and month-end, units can book up quickly, so we recommend reserving as soon as you know you’ll need space. For planned moves or renovations, booking two to four weeks in advance usually guarantees the best choice of unit sizes. That said, we do regularly accommodate last-minute requests when space allows. If your dates are uncertain, we can hold a provisional booking and adjust your start date within reason, keeping the process flexible around your changing plans.
