Finding the Best Storage Facilities in London: A Guide from Kingston and Richmond Removals

When you're sorting out a move in London, storage is a big part of the deal. Whether you're decluttering, downsizing, or just need a temporary spot for your gear, finding the right facility is key. We know the score, so as the pros at Kingston and Richmond Removals, we’ve put together this no-nonsense guide to the best storage options in London.

Self-Storage: Your On-Demand Locker

Self-storage is ace for when you need regular access to your stuff. It's basically your own private locker that you can get into whenever you fancy. Big Yellow, Self Storage, and Access Self Storage are the big players in this game. They've got locations all over London, so you'll never be far from your things.

• Easy Access: You get your own code to get in and out of the building, even outside of normal hours. This is a massive plus for busy Londoners who need flexibility.

• Pricing: Self-storage can be a bit more expensive than other options, but many places like Big Yellow offer sweet deals, such as 50% off for the first 4 weeks. It's a great commercial offer to get you started.

If you know you'll need regular access to your belongings, then self-storage is probably the right choice for you.

Container Storage: The Smart Choice for Long-Term Storage

For a longer-term storage solution, we're big fans of container storage. This is what we use ourselves for larger jobs with partners like Clockwork. This option is far more cost-effective, especially if you're not planning on visiting your items all the time.

With container storage, your belongings are packed directly into large, secure containers at our yard. To visit your items, you need to book an appointment with our office, and there is a small handling fee. It's a bit less flexible than self-storage, but the trade-off is a much better deal for long-term storage solutions.

How We Keep Your Stuff Safe

Regardless of whether you choose self-storage or container storage, you want to know your belongings are safe. At Kingston and Richmond Removals, we are the experts when it comes to the protection of your items. Every piece of furniture, and every box, is treated with the utmost care.

We wrap everything in special plastic protective covers. We also use a brilliant product called Furniguard. This stuff is a robust, puncture-resistant, and water-resistant furniture wrap. It’s a game-changer and a much better alternative to old-school bubble wrap or foam. It gives us peace of mind knowing your valuable items are safe and sound.
