Professional Self Storage in Surrey Quays
Our self storage facility in Surrey Quays is designed for real-life moves: temporary space between properties, long-term storage when downsizing, or overflow stock for busy businesses. Every unit is individually locked, the site is monitored 24/7, and all goods in our care are covered by appropriate goods in transit and public liability insurance.
Whether you bring items in yourself or use our removals team to collect and deliver, you get a professional, fully insured service managed by trained storage staff who understand how to handle furniture, fragile items and business equipment correctly.
Who Our Self Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are selling, renovating or decluttering. Store furniture, boxes, appliances and seasonal items while you create space at home or wait for your completion date. We can collect, store and later redeliver everything to your new address.
Renters
If your tenancy dates do not line up or you are moving into a smaller property, self storage provides a safe holding space for your belongings. Keep what you want, when you want, without rushing decisions or overcrowding your new place.
Landlords
Use our units to store furniture and white goods between lets, or to clear properties quickly after tenants move out. We can work to tight turnarounds and coordinate directly with you or your agents.
Businesses
Our storage is popular with local retailers, tradespeople and offices. Store stock, tools, archive files, event equipment and office furniture in a secure, accessible location close to Canary Wharf, Canada Water and wider South East London.
Students
Students from universities and colleges across London use our smaller units for term-time or holiday storage. Keep books, clothes, bikes and small furniture safe between moves without hauling everything back home.

How Our Self Storage & Collection Service Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with a brief description of what you need to store and for how long. We will recommend a suitable unit size and provide a clear, written quotation for storage and, if required, our removals or collection service.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves, we can arrange a short virtual survey or onsite visit to assess the volume of goods, access at your property and any special handling requirements. This helps us allocate the right unit size, vehicles and team, and avoids surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You are welcome to pack and bring items yourself, or you can use our professional packing service. Our trained crew use quality boxes, wrapping materials and furniture covers, ensuring everything is protected for transport and storage. We label boxes clearly to make retrieval and redelivery straightforward.
4. Loading & Transport
If you book our removals service, our team will carefully load your items, using protective blankets, ties and floor coverings where needed. Everything is transported in purpose-built vehicles under goods in transit insurance. On arrival at our Surrey Quays facility, items are moved directly into your allocated unit.
5. Unloading, Placement & Access
Items are stacked methodically in your unit, with heavier pieces at the bottom and walkways where practical, so you can reach what you need. Access is straightforward during opening hours, and we can assist with trolley use and handling if required. When you are ready, we can deliver your belongings to your new address or simply arrange for you to collect.
Transparent Pricing & Unit Sizes
We believe storage should be easy to budget for. Our pricing is based on:
- Unit size – from small lockers to large rooms for full house contents
- Length of stay – short and long-term options, with discounts for longer bookings
- Optional extras – such as packing, collection and delivery, and packing materials
Your quote will always be clear, with no hidden charges for basic access or standard insurance. If you are unsure what size you need, we will guide you based on our experience of similar moves and can adjust if your requirements change.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using a proper storage facility and professional removals team in Surrey Quays offers several advantages over DIY or a casual man-and-van:
- Security: Purpose-built facility with monitored access and CCTV, not a makeshift garage or lock-up.
- Insurance: Appropriate goods in transit and facility cover, rather than relying on your own home policy.
- Handling: Trained staff using the right equipment to avoid damage to property or belongings.
- Reliability: Scheduled times, written documentation and a clear contract.
- Support: Practical advice on packing, unit choice and move planning from people who do this every day.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and we treat them accordingly. Storage Surrey Quays operates to recognised industry standards, with:
- Goods in transit insurance for items we move between your property and our facility
- Public liability cover for work carried out at your premises and within our site
- Trained, background-checked staff accustomed to handling fragile, bulky and high-value items
- Documented processes for inventory, access control and incident reporting
We are always happy to explain exactly what is covered and can provide confirmation of insurance on request, so you have full peace of mind.
Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability
We put protection first – for your belongings, your property and the environment. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are bagged and appliances are transported upright where required. We use reusable transit blankets, re-use boxes where practical, and can supply durable crates as a more sustainable alternative to single-use cardboard.
Our vehicles are maintained for efficiency, and we plan routes sensibly around Surrey Quays and wider London to minimise unnecessary mileage. Where possible, we recycle packaging materials and encourage customers to do the same after their move.
Real-World Uses of Our Self Storage in Surrey Quays
Moving House
If completion dates do not line up or you are renovating a new property, we can move your belongings into storage for a few weeks or months. Once you are ready, we deliver everything to your new address and place items into the correct rooms.
Office & Business Relocations
Businesses use our storage to hold furniture, IT equipment and documents during phased office moves or refurbishments. We can coordinate out-of-hours collections and deliveries to minimise disruption to staff and customers.
Urgent & Same-Week Moves
Life does not always run to plan. If you need storage at short notice due to a sudden completion date, tenancy change or emergency works at your property, we will do our best to accommodate you quickly, subject to unit availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Surrey Quays cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need and how long you store for. Smaller lockers and student-sized units are naturally cheaper than rooms suitable for a full two or three-bedroom property. Longer stays usually attract better weekly or monthly rates than very short-term bookings. We will recommend the smallest practical unit to keep your costs sensible and provide a clear written quote before you commit. There are no hidden charges for basic access during opening hours or for standard insurance cover.
Can you provide same-day or urgent self storage?
Where we have units available, we can often arrange storage at very short notice, including same-day in some cases. The key is to contact us as early as possible, even if your plans are not finalised. We will advise on availability, likely unit size and whether we can also provide collection and removal within your timescale. For urgent situations, we prioritise clear communication and realistic time slots so you know exactly what is possible and when your belongings will be safely stored.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Items we transport to and from our Surrey Quays facility are covered by our goods in transit insurance, and we also maintain appropriate public liability cover. Many customers choose to supplement this with their own contents insurance or a separate storage policy, especially for high-value items. We are transparent about what our insurance includes and excludes, and can provide documentation on request. If you have particular concerns about specific items, tell us in advance so we can advise on best practice and any additional protection you may wish to arrange.
What is included in your self storage service?
As standard, you get a clean, dry, secure unit, access during agreed opening hours, basic insurance cover, and support from our professional on-site team. We can also supply trolleys and handling equipment to help you move items to and from your unit. Optional services include packing, collection and delivery, and provision of packing materials such as boxes, tape and covers. We will set all of this out clearly in your quote, so you can choose the level of help that suits your needs and budget.
How is this different from using a man-and-van and a cheap lock-up?
A casual man-and-van and basic lock-up can appear cheaper at first glance, but often lack adequate security, proper insurance and professional standards. With Storage Surrey Quays you get a monitored, purpose-built facility, trained staff, documented procedures and clear protection for your belongings. We handle items correctly, keep accurate records and operate under written terms, so you know exactly where you stand. For most people, the small difference in cost is outweighed by the peace of mind and lower risk of damage or loss.
How far in advance should I book self storage?
For the best choice of unit sizes and moving dates, we recommend enquiring as soon as you know you will need storage – ideally two to four weeks in advance for larger household moves. That said, we regularly accommodate shorter notice bookings and will always try to help, especially for smaller units. Once you have accepted our quote, we can reserve your unit and, if required, book in our removals team. If your dates change, talk to us early and we will work with you to adjust where possible.
