What Our Self Storage Service Includes
Our self storage in Wimbledon is designed to be simple, safe and flexible. Whether you need to store a few boxes between moves or an entire office’s worth of equipment, we offer:
- A choice of unit sizes – from small lockers to large rooms
- Short- and long-term contracts with flexible extensions
- Clean, dry, alarmed storage units

Because we also operate as an experienced removals company, we understand how storage fits into a move. We can handle the heavy lifting, transport your goods to our Wimbledon facility, store them securely and then deliver them when you are ready.
Local Wimbledon Self Storage Expertise
We work with customers across Wimbledon, Raynes Park, Merton and wider South West London. Our local knowledge means we’re used to:
- Accessing period properties, flats and narrow streets
- Co-ordinating parking and access for collection vehicles
- Timing storage moves around tenancy dates and completion days
Because we’re local, we can offer practical advice on timings, access and the best unit size for your needs, based on what people in Wimbledon typically store and for how long.
Who Our Self Storage Is For
Homeowners
Perfect when you are decluttering for a sale, renovating, in between homes or downsizing. Keep furniture, appliances, seasonal items and family keepsakes in a secure unit while you get your new space organised.
Renters
Ideal for short lets, moving between rentals or when you need to reduce what you keep at the property. Store bulky items, bikes, spare furniture and personal effects without having to give them up.
Landlords
Use our self storage to hold furniture between tenancies, store fixtures during refurbishment, or keep show-home items safe. It helps you turn properties around quickly without cluttering your own premises.
Businesses
From sole traders to growing companies, self storage is a cost-effective alternative to leasing extra office or warehouse space. Store stock, tools, event equipment, archive files, office furniture and marketing materials securely and access them when required.
Students
Students at London universities often use our Wimbledon storage during holidays, study abroad periods or house moves. Store bedding, books, small furniture and personal belongings securely instead of hauling everything home and back again.

How Our Self Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a rough list of what you need to store and for how long. We will discuss your needs, recommend a suitable unit size and provide a clear, no-obligation quotation, including any optional collection or removals services.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger storage requirements, we can arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This helps us check access, understand exactly what you are storing and ensure we recommend the right size unit. It also lets us plan any required transport, parking and protection materials.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your belongings yourself or use our professional packing service. If we are collecting, our team will bring blankets, trolleys and any requested packing materials. We pay particular attention to fragile and high-value items, making sure everything is correctly wrapped and labelled before loading.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained movers carefully load your belongings, using protective covers and securing loads properly for transport to our Wimbledon storage facility. If you are bringing items yourself, we will guide you through the unloading process and help you make the most efficient use of your unit space.
5. Unloading & Placement in Your Unit
On arrival, we unload and place your items into your allocated unit, stacking them safely and accessibly. Heavier items go at the bottom and we leave clear walkways where possible so you can reach what you need during your rental. When you are ready for your goods back, we can either meet you at the unit or arrange redelivery to your new address.
Transparent Pricing for Self Storage
We aim to keep our pricing clear and predictable. Your cost will depend on:
- Unit size
- Length of stay
- Whether you require collection/delivery
- Any optional services, such as packing or materials
We provide itemised quotations so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden access fees for using your unit during agreed hours, and we explain notice periods and any discounts for longer-term storage in advance.
Why Choose Professional Self Storage Over DIY Options
Keeping belongings in a friend’s garage, a damp shed or an unsecured lock-up may seem cheaper, but it often leads to damage, disputes or security issues. By choosing a professional facility like Storage Wimbledon, you benefit from:
- Clean, dry, purpose-built storage units
- Better security measures than a typical garage
- Clear contracts and agreed responsibilities
- Optional help from trained movers for bulky items
- Options for insurance to protect your belongings in transit
Compared with a casual man-and-van using ad-hoc storage, we offer structure, documentation and ongoing access, giving you peace of mind that your possessions are properly looked after.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As an established removals and storage company, we operate to recognised professional standards. Our services include:
- Goods in transit insurance available when we transport your items to and from the unit
- Public liability cover for work we carry out at your home, office or student accommodation
- Trained moving teams used to handling fragile and bulky belongings
We will explain insurance options clearly before work begins so you understand what is covered and how valuations work. Our aim is to protect not only your belongings, but also your property and anyone present during moves.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Our teams use blankets, floor protection and appropriate lifting techniques to prevent damage. In storage, we encourage the use of sturdy, reusable containers and proper stacking to reduce the risk of crushing or distortion over time.
Where possible, we adopt a sustainable approach by:
- Offering reusable crates instead of single-use boxes, where available
- Recycling cardboard and packing materials responsibly
- Planning routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage
The combination of care, organisation and thoughtful planning helps extend the life of your belongings and reduces waste.
Real-World Self Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Completion dates do not always line up. Our self storage provides a safe holding point for your furniture and personal items between properties, preventing last-minute panic and keeping your chain moving smoothly.
Office Relocation
When you are refurbishing or relocating an office, storage can bridge the gap. Keep desks, chairs, IT equipment and archives secure offsite while you set up the new space, then bring everything back in a controlled, organised way.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Life does not always give much warning. From sudden tenancy changes to emergency repairs, we can often arrange storage at short notice. Our combined removals and storage service means we can collect, store and later redeliver with minimal disruption.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Wimbledon cost?
Pricing depends mainly on unit size, duration and whether you need us to collect or deliver your items. Smaller units for boxes and a few pieces of furniture are naturally cheaper than larger rooms suitable for a full house or office. We will talk through what you plan to store and recommend the most cost-effective option rather than the largest space. All quotes are itemised so you can see storage charges separately from any removals, packing or materials.
Can you offer same-day or urgent self storage?
Where availability allows, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage, especially for smaller units. If you also need collection, our ability to help will depend on vehicle and crew schedules, but we will always be honest about what we can do. For urgent moves, we prioritise clear communication: we confirm the unit size, access arrangements and costs before we proceed so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
Are my belongings insured in storage and during transport?
When we transport your items to and from our Wimbledon facility, goods in transit insurance can be provided, subject to terms and declared values. Within the storage facility, you are responsible for insuring your contents, although we can often assist with arranging suitable cover if required. We also hold public liability insurance for our work at your premises. We will explain how cover works, what is included and any limits or exclusions so you can make an informed decision.
What is included in your self storage service?
At its simplest, our service includes a clean, secure storage unit of an agreed size, access during stated opening hours and support from our team on choosing and managing your space. Many customers add optional services such as collection and delivery, packing, supply of boxes and materials, and help with loading or unloading. We tailor what we provide to your situation, whether that is a straightforward student storage unit or a full house move into temporary storage.
How is professional storage different from a man-and-van with a lock-up?
A casual man-and-van using an ad-hoc garage or lock-up rarely offers the same level of security, documentation or accountability as a professional storage provider. With Storage Wimbledon, you know exactly where your goods are, the conditions they are kept in and who has access. We use trained staff, appropriate protective equipment and structured processes, backed by insurance and clear terms. This reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes and gives you reliable access to your belongings when you need them.
How far in advance should I book self storage?
For the best choice of unit size and access times, it is sensible to book at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly during busy moving periods such as the end of the month or summer holidays. That said, we understand that plans change quickly, and we will always try to accommodate last-minute requirements. If you are not yet sure of your exact dates, we can provide an initial quotation and hold provisional arrangements while your plans firm up.
