At Storage New Southgate, we provide straightforward, secure and flexible student storage tailored to the way students really live and move.

- Secure, local storage in our monitored facility
- Flexible short- and medium-term options (from a few weeks to many months)
- Return delivery to your new address or back to halls

All moves are carried out by our own trained, uniformed and professional teams, with full goods in transit protection during collection and return.
Local Expertise in New Southgate and North London
We are a local company based in New Southgate, working daily with students across North London and wider London universities. We regularly support students from halls and private accommodation around:
- New Southgate and surrounding postcodes
- North London campuses and student houses
- Central London halls and shared flats
Because we move people around New Southgate and London every day, we understand parking restrictions, building access, lift use, and the typical layouts of student halls and HMOs. This local knowledge means fewer delays, smoother access and realistic time slots.
Who Our Student Storage Service Is For
Students
Our service is built with students in mind. Ideal if you are:
- Heading home overseas or elsewhere in the UK between terms
- Moving from halls into a shared house
- On placement, study abroad or an internship
- Taking a break in your studies but returning later
Homeowners and Renters
If you are a parent or a renter helping a student move, we offer simple, fixed-rate storage packages. We can collect from home, halls or a combination of addresses, so you do not have to transport everything yourself.
Landlords
Landlords in New Southgate often use our storage when they need a room cleared between tenancies or while carrying out refurbishments. We can remove and store student belongings temporarily, keeping items safe and documented, then return them when agreed.
Businesses and Institutions
We work with universities, language schools and training providers who need bulk student storage for groups. This might include storing luggage during short programmes, or term-time clearances where multiple students need their belongings kept together and catalogued.

- Suitcases, rucksacks and duffel bags
- Boxes of clothes, books, kitchenware and personal items
- Study materials, folders, printers and small office equipment
- Small furniture such as bedside tables, desk chairs and small shelving

- Perishable or open food and drink
- Live plants or animals
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including paint, gas canisters and solvents)
- Illegal items or substances
- Cash, jewellery, high-value antiques or irreplaceable documents
If you are unsure about a particular item, talk to us before packing and we will confirm whether we can take it or suggest an alternative.
Our Step-by-Step Student Storage Process
1. Enquiry & quote
You contact us with a rough list of what you need to store, your collection address in or around New Southgate, and how long you expect to store for. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and return charges.
2. Survey (virtual or onsite)
For most student jobs, a quick virtual survey (photos or video call) is enough for us to confirm space requirements and access. For larger moves or shared houses with multiple students, we can visit in person to assess parking, stairs and loading times.
3. Packing & preparation
You can pack your own belongings using sturdy boxes, or request our packing service. If we pack, our trained team bring professional materials and ensure items are wrapped and labelled clearly. This helps with easy retrieval and safe storage.
4. Loading & transport
On the agreed day, our professional movers arrive in a suitable vehicle, protect key items and load everything carefully. Your belongings are then transported directly to our secure storage facility under goods in transit insurance cover.
5. Unloading & placement in storage
At our facility, we unload, place your items in the allocated storage area and record unit details against your name. When you are ready, you simply book a return slot, and we deliver back to your chosen address – halls, a new flat, or another property in New Southgate or across London.
Transparent Pricing for Student Storage
We understand that students work to a budget, so we keep pricing as clear as possible. Your quote will typically include:
- Collection charge (based on time, access and distance from New Southgate)
- Storage fee (per box, item or storage volume, charged weekly or monthly)
- Return delivery charge
- Optional extras (packing service, materials, additional insurance on high-value declared items)
There are no hidden handling fees. We explain how any changes – such as extending your storage period or adding extra items – will be charged, so you can plan your finances with confidence.
Why Choose Professional Student Storage Instead of DIY
Many students consider storing belongings with friends, in a garage or using a casual man-and-van. While that can seem cheaper, it often leads to transport problems, damage or last-minute cancellations. By using a professional and fully insured company, you benefit from:
- Reliable booked time slots and confirmed collection dates
- Properly packed and protected items
- Secure, monitored storage rather than damp or unsecured spaces
- Clear paperwork, receipts and inventory on request
- Support if your plans change or you need a longer stay
Our teams move students every term, so we know how to work around exam timetables, building rules and travel arrangements.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take the safety of your belongings seriously. All student collections and deliveries are protected by goods in transit insurance, and our storage facility has robust security measures. In addition, we maintain public liability cover to protect you and your building while we work on site.
Our crews are trained in correct lifting techniques, handling fragile items and working in tight spaces like halls corridors and stairwells. Vehicles are kept clean, well maintained and appropriate for residential streets in New Southgate and London.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Our approach combines careful handling with a focus on reducing waste where possible. We use quality reusable transit blankets, and we encourage sturdy, reusable boxes rather than cheap one-use packaging. When we do supply packing materials, we aim for recyclable or recycled options.
During collection and delivery we take care to protect your building, using floor and door protection where needed, and working quietly and respectfully around neighbours and other residents.
Real-World Student Storage Use Cases
Moving house between academic years
Many students change address every year. Instead of moving everything home and back again, we collect directly from your current place in New Southgate or across London, store over the summer, and then deliver to your new address at the start of term.
Placement, internship or year abroad
If you are working or studying away from London for a term or a year, we can store your belongings safely until you return. This avoids paying rent simply to keep your things in place.
Urgent moves and last-minute changes
Sometimes tenancy dates change at short notice, or travel plans shift. We can often help with short-notice collections, providing temporary storage until your new accommodation is ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does student storage in New Southgate cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much you are storing, how long for, and how far we need to travel for collection and return. We typically charge a collection fee based on time and distance, plus a weekly or monthly storage fee per box, suitcase or storage volume. Return delivery is priced similarly to collection. We will always give you a clear written quote before you book, with all charges explained so you can compare options and share details with parents or guarantors if needed.
Can you offer same-day or urgent student storage?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to help with same-day or short-notice student storage in New Southgate and the surrounding areas. If your tenancy has changed unexpectedly or you need to leave halls quickly, contact us as soon as possible with details of your items and dates. While we cannot guarantee availability at very short notice, we will always be honest about what we can do and suggest the earliest possible slot that fits around our existing commitments.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your items are covered by our standard goods in transit insurance while we are transporting them, and by our storage cover while they are in our facility, subject to our terms and conditions. This provides a sensible level of protection for typical student belongings. If you have particularly high-value items, we may ask you to declare them so we can advise on additional cover or best packing practices. We also hold public liability insurance to protect you and your building while we are working on site.
What is included in your student storage service?
Our standard service includes collection from your room, flat or house; careful loading into our vehicle; secure storage for the agreed period; and return delivery to your chosen address. We can also supply boxes and packing materials, and offer an optional packing service if you prefer us to pack your belongings professionally. We will discuss access (lifts, stairs, parking) in advance so that everything runs smoothly on the day, and we provide clear documentation confirming what we have taken into storage.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may help with one-off transport, but often does not include secure storage, formal insurance or trained staff. With us, you are using a professional removals and storage company with structured procedures, fully insured vehicles, documented bookings and clear terms. We offer secure, monitored storage, fixed return dates where required, and support if your plans change. This is especially important for students who may be overseas or away from London and need dependable service without being on site.
How far in advance should I book student storage?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking as soon as you know your tenancy end or travel dates – ideally two to four weeks in advance during busy periods such as end of term. However, we understand that student plans can change, so we will always try to accommodate later bookings where our schedule allows. Early contact also gives us time to advise on packing, access arrangements and any parking permissions needed around New Southgate or your particular building.
