Secure, Flexible Self Storage in Kentish Town
Our Kentish Town facility is designed for people who want straightforward storage, clear pricing and reliable access. Whether you are between moves, renovating, decluttering or running a growing business, we offer unit sizes and terms that fit around you, not the other way round.
All units are inside a monitored building with CCTV, controlled access and robust fire and security measures. With a removals background, we know how to handle items properly and how to store them so they stay in good condition for as long as you need.
Who Our Self Storage in Kentish Town Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are renovating, selling, moving, or simply creating more space at home. Store furniture, appliances, boxes of personal items, sports gear and seasonal belongings in a clean, dry and fully insured environment.
Renters
Perfect for short tenancies, flat shares and moving between rooms or properties. Keep non-essential items, excess furniture or bulky possessions safe during contract changes or house hunting, without overloading your living space.
Landlords
Use our self storage to hold furniture between lets, keep replacement appliances, or store fixtures and fittings while you refresh a property. It helps streamline void periods and keeps your properties looking their best.
Businesses
Our units suit online retailers, tradespeople, professionals and local shops. Store stock, tools, documents, exhibition materials or equipment securely, without committing to long commercial leases. Flexible access and professional handling make it easier to run your business efficiently.
Students
Students at nearby universities and colleges can store belongings safely over the summer or during placement years. No need to cart everything back home and then return with it again.

How Our Self Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact our Kentish Town team by phone, email or online form with an outline of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few straightforward questions, recommend a suitable unit size and provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on your requirements.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger volumes or business storage, we can carry out a quick virtual or onsite survey. This helps ensure you choose the right unit size and layout. As experienced movers, we can often save you money by advising on how to pack efficiently and avoid paying for space you will not use.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can bring your items ready packed, or choose our packing and preparation service. Our trained team can supply professional-grade boxes, wrapping materials and protective covers, and if required can also pack your items for you. This reduces the risk of damage in transit and storage and keeps everything organised and labelled.
4. Loading & Transport
Bring your belongings to our Kentish Town facility yourself, or combine self storage with our removals and collection service. We can collect items from your home, office or student accommodation, load them carefully onto our vehicles and transport them directly into your unit, saving you time and lifting.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, items are unloaded and placed neatly inside your unit. If we are handling the unloading, we will stack boxes logically, protect fragile items and position bulkier pieces at the back or sides so you can access what you need easily later. You keep your own lock and key or access code for complete control.
Transparent, Straightforward Pricing
We believe self storage should be simple and predictable. Our pricing is based on:
- Unit size (measured in square or cubic feet/metres)
- Length of stay (short-term or long-term)
- Optional services such as packing, collection and insurance upgrades
There are no hidden access charges for normal use and no surprise fees. We explain all costs clearly at the outset so you can budget with confidence. If your needs change, we can usually move you to a larger or smaller unit at short notice.
Why Choose Professional Self Storage Over DIY Options
Trying to cram belongings into a friend’s loft or a damp garage might seem cheaper, but it often leads to damage, disputes and inconvenience. Using a professional self storage facility in Kentish Town offers several advantages:
- Clean, dry and secure environment designed specifically for storage
- 24/7 monitored security systems and controlled access
- Short and long-term flexibility instead of ad hoc arrangements
- Options for collection, packing and removals managed by experts
- Clear terms, insurance options and professional accountability
Compared with a casual man-and-van leaving items in a lock-up, our approach is documented, insured and backed by experienced staff.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a storage and removals specialist, we take protection seriously. Our operation is:
- Fully insured with appropriate goods in transit insurance when we are handling transport
- Covered by public liability insurance for work on your premises and at our facility
- Run by trained teams who know how to lift, pack and store items correctly
Basic cover is built into our service when we move your goods, with optional additional insurance available for high-value consignments. We are always happy to explain how cover works in plain language so you know exactly where you stand.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Protecting your belongings goes hand in hand with looking after our local environment. We use robust reusable crates where possible, encourage the use of recycled and recyclable packing materials, and avoid unnecessary plastic. Our vans are routed efficiently to reduce mileage, and we maintain equipment to minimise waste and emissions.
Inside the units, we focus on correct stacking, use of protective covers and thoughtful layout so that items remain stable and well ventilated. This careful approach reduces the risk of damage and prolongs the life of your possessions.
Real-World Ways Our Kentish Town Self Storage Helps
Moving House
If completion dates do not line up or you need to clear your property to help it sell, self storage provides a safe holding space. We can integrate storage into your full house move so your belongings go from old property to storage and then to your new home with minimal handling.
Office Relocation and Business Growth
Businesses often use self storage when relocating, downsizing office space or expanding stock levels. Temporary storage avoids rushing decisions, allows staged moves and keeps essential equipment accessible while you reorganise. For online sellers, a unit can act as a scalable storeroom without the cost of a full warehouse.
Urgent and Short-Notice Situations
Life does not always give much warning. Whether a sudden change in tenancy, urgent repairs or a last-minute move, we can often arrange self storage space in Kentish Town at short notice. Our removals team can step in to collect and store your items quickly, helping you deal with the situation calmly and safely.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Kentish Town cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size of unit you need and how long you require it. Smaller units suitable for a few boxes and small items cost significantly less than larger spaces for full household contents or business stock. We offer discounts for longer stays and can often reduce costs by helping you choose the most efficient size. All quotes are itemised and transparent, with no hidden access or admin fees for standard use. Contact us with a rough list of items and we will provide a tailored estimate.
Can you offer same-day or urgent self storage?
Yes, in many cases we can arrange same-day or short-notice storage in Kentish Town, especially for smaller units. Availability does vary with demand, but we will always do our best to find a practical solution. If required, we can also send a removals team to collect your belongings the same day, subject to schedule and location. Calling us as early as possible gives us the best chance to secure space and vehicles, but we are used to dealing with tight deadlines and unexpected changes.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
When we transport your items, they are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to standard terms and conditions. For items stored in your unit, we can arrange insurance based on a declared value, or you may be able to extend your own contents or business policy to cover them. We always recommend having appropriate insurance in place for peace of mind. Our team will explain the options, what is included as standard and how to ensure higher-value items are fully protected throughout their time in storage.
What is included in your self storage service?
Our core self storage service includes a secure, clean unit in Kentish Town, monitored security, controlled access and friendly support from our onsite team. You are free to bring and arrange your belongings as you wish during opening hours. In addition, we offer optional services such as packing materials, professional packing, collection and delivery, and help with loading or unloading. We can combine self storage with full removals for house or office moves, providing a single, joined-up solution rather than separate arrangements.
How is this different from using a casual man-and-van and a lock-up?
A casual man-and-van and a basic lock-up might seem cheaper, but they usually lack formal contracts, robust security and proper insurance. With our professional self storage in Kentish Town, you receive clear terms, monitored premises, documented cover and support from trained staff. Units are clean, dry and purpose-built for storage, which helps prevent damage from damp or pests. Because we are accountable for the service we provide, you have a reliable point of contact if anything needs attention, rather than relying on informal arrangements.
How far in advance should I book a unit?
If you know your dates, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly during busy moving periods such as the end of the month or summer. This gives you the best choice of unit sizes and allows time to arrange packing or collection if needed. That said, we regularly accommodate last-minute bookings, and our schedule is flexible. Even if plans change, we can often adjust your start date, upgrade or downsize your unit, or tie your booking in with a removals slot to make the whole process smoother.
