Who Our Self Storage Is For
Homeowners
If you’re moving house, staging your home for sale, or renovating, our self storage is ideal for safely holding furniture, appliances, garden equipment and personal belongings. We can combine removals and storage so your move is seamless.
Renters
Tenancy ending before your new place is ready? Our flexible units are perfect for short gaps between rentals. Keep your possessions secure without relying on friends’ garages or overfilling a new flat.
Landlords
We regularly help landlords store furniture between lets, hold replacement items, or clear a property quickly after a tenancy. Our fully insured service gives you peace of mind while you get your property ready.
Businesses
From online retailers to trades and local offices, our New Southgate storage units are used for stock, archived documents, tools, exhibition stands and seasonal items. Flexible contracts allow you to upsize or downsize as your business changes, without committing to an expensive warehouse.
Students
Students often use our smaller units during holidays, gap years or study abroad periods. It’s a cost-effective alternative to hauling belongings home and back every term, with the reassurance of a secure, local facility.

How Our Self Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or online form, explaining what you need to store and for how long. We ask a few practical questions to estimate the right unit size and access type for you. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining unit size, weekly or monthly rate, and any optional extras such as collection or packing materials.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex storage needs, we can carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This helps us confirm the space required and logistics if we are also handling removals. For businesses, we can look at how frequently you’ll need access to stock or files and plan a unit that suits your workflow.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or we can supply professional boxes, wrapping and tape. If you prefer, our trained packing team can come to your property and prepare everything for storage, ensuring fragile and bulky items are protected for longer-term holding.
4. Loading & Transport
You can bring items to our New Southgate facility yourself, or we can provide a full removals service. Our vehicles are equipped for safe transport, with blankets, straps and trolleys. We load carefully to minimise movement in transit, especially for delicate or high-value items.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, items are unloaded into your allocated unit. If we’re handling the move, we place heavier items at the back and floor level, lighter or more frequently used items towards the front. When you’re ready to move out, we can either meet you on-site or collect and deliver your goods to your new address.
Transparent Pricing & How We Charge
We believe in clear, honest pricing. Storage costs are based on:
- Unit size (measured in square feet or cubic capacity)
- Length of stay (short-term or long-term)
- Any additional services (collection, packing, removals, packing materials)
Your quote will set out all charges, billing frequency and notice periods. There are no hidden key fees or surprise extras. If your needs change – for example, you need a smaller or larger unit – we’ll explain any price difference before making adjustments.
Why Choose Professional Self Storage Over DIY Options
Using a professional facility like Storage New Southgate offers several advantages over using a friend’s garage or an informal arrangement:
- Security – monitored access, CCTV and controlled entry systems
- Condition – dry, clean units designed to protect belongings
- Insurance compatibility – easier to insure contents in a recognised storage facility
- Professional handling when combined with our removals service
- Clear contracts and predictable costs
Compared with a casual man-and-van offering “storage”, you know exactly where your items are, who has access, and what standards of security and protection apply.
Insurance & Professional Standards
As an experienced removals and storage company, we work to professional standards and carry appropriate cover, including:
- Goods in transit insurance when we transport your items to or from storage
- Public liability cover for work we carry out on your premises
- Trained and vetted staff handling your belongings
Contents inside your unit can often be covered either by our recommended insurance options or by extending your own home or business policy. We’ll explain what’s included in our cover and what you may wish to insure separately, so you can make an informed decision.
Care, Protection & Sustainability
We treat stored belongings with the same level of care as items on a move. Our team uses protective blankets, proper lifting techniques and sensible stacking to avoid damage. We encourage the use of reusable crates where practical and recycle cardboard and packaging materials wherever possible.
Our vehicles are maintained efficiently to reduce emissions, and by combining removals and storage runs, we minimise unnecessary journeys. This not only saves our customers money but also reduces the environmental impact of each job.
Real-World Self Storage Use Cases
Moving House with a Gap Between Completions
Many customers use our New Southgate self storage when they sell their property but can’t move into the new one straight away. We collect their goods on completion day, hold everything securely, then deliver once the new keys are available.
Office Relocation and Business Expansion
Businesses use our units during office moves, renovations, or while expanding. Desks, IT equipment, files and marketing materials can be stored safely while new premises are prepared, keeping day-to-day operations as undisturbed as possible.
Urgent or Last-Minute Storage
Sometimes storage is needed at very short notice – an unexpected sale, a tenancy ending abruptly or an urgent clearance. Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-day or next-day storage and, where required, combine it with a rapid removals service.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in New Southgate cost?
Costs depend mainly on unit size and how long you need it. Smaller units suitable for boxes and a few small items are cheaper, while larger rooms for full house contents or business stock cost more. We’ll always discuss your inventory and suggest the most efficient size, so you’re not paying for unused space. Prices are usually quoted weekly or monthly, with clear billing and no hidden fees. Contact us with a rough list of items and we’ll provide a tailored quotation.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Yes, in many cases we can offer same-day or very short-notice storage in New Southgate, depending on unit availability and your requirements. If you also need collection and transport, we’ll check our removals schedule and advise realistically what we can do. The more detail you can provide when you call – property type, access, volume of goods – the better we can plan. Even if we’re fully booked for removals, we may still be able to reserve a unit for you to bring items yourself.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
When we transport your goods to or from the facility, they are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to our terms. For the period your items are in storage, you can either take out cover through us (if available) or arrange it via your own contents or business insurer. Many policies can be extended to include items kept in a recognised storage facility. We’ll explain clearly what our cover includes and help you understand any additional insurance you might need for full peace of mind.
What’s included in your self storage service?
At its core, our service includes a secure, clean storage unit at our New Southgate facility, access during agreed opening hours, and support from our on-site team. We can then add optional services such as packing materials, professional packing, collection and delivery, and full removals for moves in or out of storage. We also provide guidance on unit size, packing tips and safe stacking. You choose the level of help you need, from simple self-access storage to a complete end-to-end moving and storage package.
How is professional self storage different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van may offer to “keep your things”, but often that means storing them in an unregulated lock-up or shared space, with unclear security and insurance. Our self storage facility provides individual units, controlled access, CCTV and documented procedures. You know exactly where your belongings are and who has access. When combined with our professional removals service, your items are handled, transported and stored to recognised standards, giving you far greater protection and accountability than an informal arrangement.
How far in advance should I book storage?
Ideally, book as soon as you know you’ll need storage, especially during busy periods such as summer and year-end. A week or two’s notice usually gives us good flexibility to offer your preferred unit size and any additional services. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate last-minute bookings where possible. If your dates are uncertain, we can still reserve a provisional space and adjust as things become clearer, explaining any notice requirements in advance.
