Renters
If you’re moving between rentals, downsizing, or heading abroad for work, we can hold your possessions securely so you don’t have to rush decisions about what to keep or sell.

Our Step-by-Step Self Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll recommend an appropriate unit size and provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on space and duration, with no hidden extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
If you are unsure of space requirements, we can carry out a quick virtual survey using photos or video, or an onsite assessment if we’re handling your removals as well. As removals professionals, we are used to judging volume accurately, so we’ll help you avoid over- or under-booking.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own goods, or we can provide professional packing materials and a full or partial packing service. We use double-walled cartons, furniture covers and export wrap where needed to prevent damage and dust build-up during storage.
4. Loading & Transport
Bring your items to our Fulwell facility yourself, or let our removals team collect them from your home or office. Our crews are trained in safe lifting, stacking and protection, so everything is loaded correctly for storage, not just transport.
5. Unloading, Placement & Ongoing Access
We position your items in the unit to make best use of the space and to give you access to anything you may need to retrieve during the storage period. You’ll have agreed access times and straightforward procedures for visiting your unit or arranging further collections/deliveries.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
Our self storage pricing is based on three main factors:
- Unit size (measured by square footage or cubic capacity)
- Length of stay (short-term or ongoing)
- Any additional services (packing, collection, redelivery)
You pay a simple weekly or monthly rate, with clear terms and notice periods. We don’t lure you in with unrealistic teaser rates and then increase costs sharply later. As movers ourselves, we know how disruptive surprise charges can be, so your quote sets out everything in plain English.
Why Choose Professional Self Storage Over DIY Options
Using a professional storage provider is very different from renting a garage or leaving items in a friend’s loft. Our facility offers:
- Purpose-built, dry units designed for furniture and household goods
- Security systems, access controls and regular checks
- Proper ventilation to reduce damp and mould risks
- Optional removals and packing support by trained staff
Compared with a casual man-and-van and a lock-up, you benefit from documented terms, clear liability, and professional handling throughout. That translates into fewer breakages, less stress, and better long-term protection of your belongings.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We operate to the same standards we apply in our removals business, including:
- Goods in transit insurance when we collect or deliver your items
- Public liability cover for work carried out on-site and at your property
- Trained storage and removals teams who understand safe handling and stacking
Your own household or business policy may also cover items in storage; we recommend checking this and we can supply any documentation your insurer requires. Our aim is to ensure that if the unexpected happens, you are properly protected and not left arguing over small print.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat stored items with the same care we would when moving them into a new home. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are protected, and fragile items are packed so they can withstand both transport and time in storage.
Where possible, we use recyclable packaging materials and encourage the re-use of boxes rather than single-use plastics. Our crews are trained to minimise waste, avoid unnecessary trips and plan efficient routes, reducing fuel usage and our environmental footprint around Fulwell and the surrounding areas.
Real-World Ways Our Fulwell Self Storage Helps
Moving House
Chains rarely line up perfectly. Temporary storage lets you move out on time, even if your new place is not quite ready. We can collect from your current property, store your goods, and then deliver to your new address when the keys are finally in your hand.
Office & Business Relocations
Businesses often need phased moves. We can hold surplus desks, files and stock while you fit out new premises, then deliver items as each area is completed, reducing disruption for staff and customers.
Urgent & Short-Notice Needs
Life can change quickly – separation, bereavement, emergency repairs or flooding all create a sudden need for space. Our team will respond quickly and practically, helping you stabilise the situation and protect your possessions while you make longer-term plans.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Fulwell cost?
Costs depend mainly on the unit size and how long you need it for. Smaller units suitable for a few boxes and small items are obviously cheaper than spaces that can hold the contents of an entire house. We’ll talk through exactly what you plan to store and suggest the smallest suitable size so you’re not overpaying. Prices are quoted weekly or monthly, clearly showing any optional extras such as collection, packing or redelivery. There are no hidden admin charges or surprise rate hikes once you are in.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where availability allows, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage in Fulwell. If needed, our removals team can collect your belongings at short notice and move them straight into a secure unit. This is especially useful after last-minute changes to completion dates, emergency works at home, or unforeseen issues with a tenancy. Call us as early in the day as you can; we’ll confirm what space is available, agree times, and explain any additional costs associated with urgent collections or out-of-hours access.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
When we collect or deliver your goods, they are protected by our goods in transit insurance. While in storage, cover can be arranged either through your own insurer or via a policy we help you put in place. We’ll clearly explain what is and isn’t covered so there are no grey areas. Our site security, restricted access and regular checks are designed to minimise risk in the first place, but proper insurance ensures that, in the unlikely event of a problem, you are not left out of pocket.
What is included in your self storage service?
Our core service includes a secure, clean storage unit in Fulwell, access during agreed hours, and support from our on-site team. Most customers also make use of our packing materials, trolleys and handling advice. If required, you can add collection from your property, professional packing, assistance with unloading, and final delivery to another address when storage ends. We’ll set out exactly what’s included in your quote so you know whether you’re paying for storage only, or a fully managed move-and-store package tailored to your circumstances.
How is professional storage different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service will typically move items from A to B and then leave them wherever you ask, often with no clear contract or liability. By contrast, we operate a managed storage facility with trained staff, documented terms, insurance arrangements and systems designed for long-term care of belongings. Units are dry, secure and monitored, and our handling standards match those of a reputable removals firm. In simple terms, you benefit from far better protection, clearer responsibilities and a more reliable service from start to finish.
How far in advance should I book self storage?
For the best choice of unit sizes and dates, it’s sensible to book one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy moving periods such as month-end and summer. That said, we understand that plans often change, so we will always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests. Once you know approximate dates and volume, contact us to reserve space. If your schedule shifts slightly, we can usually adjust your start date or upgrade/downgrade the unit size without difficulty, subject to availability at the Fulwell facility.
