Self Storage Streatham – Secure, Flexible Space When You Need It
At Storage Streatham, we provide safe, clean and professionally managed self storage units for households, students and businesses across Streatham and the surrounding areas. Run by an experienced removals and storage team, our facility is designed to make storing your belongings straightforward, flexible and fully protected.
What Our Self Storage Service Includes
Our self storage in Streatham is a secure, access-controlled facility where you rent your own private unit for as long as you need it. You bring your items to us, lock your unit, and retain full control over what’s stored and when you access it.
All units are within a monitored building, with modern security systems and procedures managed by a trained, on-site team. Whether you need a few weeks between moves or a long-term space for business stock, we match the unit size to your needs and help you avoid paying for unused space.
Local Streatham Expertise
We know Streatham inside out – from family homes off Streatham Common to high street shops and busy shared houses. Our local knowledge means:
- Easy directions from key roads and nearby stations
- Practical advice on short-term storage between moves in and out of Streatham
- Flexible access options that work around London traffic and working hours
- Trusted recommendations for professional removals, packing and clearance support if needed
Because we’re rooted in the area, we understand the challenges of smaller properties, limited on-street parking and tight moving timescales – and our service is built around solving those problems.
Who Our Self Storage in Streatham Is For
Homeowners
If you’re decluttering before a sale, renovating, or downsizing, our units are ideal for storing furniture, boxes and seasonal items. Keep your home clear and presentable while your belongings stay safe and accessible nearby.
Renters
Short-term leases and overlapping tenancies are common in Streatham. Use self storage to bridge the gap between moves, store bulky items you can’t fit in your current flat, or keep possessions secure while you’re abroad.
Landlords
Landlords use our units to store furniture between tenancies, keep replacement white goods on standby, or hold fixtures and fittings securely off-site. It’s a simple way to manage furnished and part-furnished properties without overloading your own premises.
Businesses
From online retailers to tradespeople and local offices, business customers rely on our secure units for stock, tools, archive files, event equipment and marketing materials. We offer flexible terms that scale with busy and quieter periods, helping you control costs.
Students
Students moving in and out of Streatham each term can avoid dragging belongings across the country. Store bedding, kitchenware, books and small furniture safely over the holidays, ready for your return. We can combine storage with removal support if you need help moving items in or out.

How Our Self Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with details of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask a few practical questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on realistic unit sizes rather than guesswork.
2. Storage Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
Where helpful, we offer a quick virtual survey, or you can visit the facility to see unit sizes in person. As experienced movers, we’re used to estimating space accurately from photos, videos or a brief list of items. This keeps your costs fair and reduces the risk of overpaying.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can provide professional packing materials and services. We advise using sturdy boxes, proper wrapping for fragile items and good labelling. If you want us to manage everything, our trained team can collect from your property, pack, protect and place your belongings straight into your unit.
4. Loading & Transport
Bring your possessions to our Streatham facility in your own vehicle, or book our removals van and crew. We plan routes and timings carefully to minimise disruption, particularly on busy local roads. Our team use protective covers and straps to keep items secure in transit.
5. Unloading & Placement in Your Unit
Once at the facility, you’ll be shown your unit and how access works. If you use our team, we’ll unload, stack and organise items for safe, efficient use of space, leaving clear walkways where possible. You lock the unit and retain the key or access details. From there, you can visit according to your agreed access times.
Transparent Pricing & Flexible Terms
Our pricing is straightforward and clearly explained from the outset. Costs depend on:
- Unit size required
- Length of stay (short or long term)
- Any additional services such as packing or collection
We do not hide charges in unclear terms. Any fees for access changes, insurance upgrades or ancillary services are explained before you sign. Many customers choose rolling agreements so they can extend or reduce as life changes. We’re always happy to review your unit size and suggest downsizing if you no longer need as much space.
Why Choose Professional Self Storage Instead of Makeshift Options
Storing belongings in a friend’s garage or an unregulated lock-up may seem cheaper, but it carries real risks. With a professional self storage provider like Storage Streatham you benefit from:
- Purpose-built, dry and secure units designed for safe storage
- Clear contracts and agreed responsibilities on both sides
- Fully insured premises with monitored security
- Support from trained staff used to handling delicate and bulky items
- Access arrangements that suit your schedule rather than someone else’s goodwill
Over time, the peace of mind and reduced risk of damage or loss usually far outweigh any perceived saving from informal storage.
Insurance & Professional Standards
As part of our commitment to protecting your belongings, we operate under robust insurance and professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance for items moved by our vehicles and crews
- Public liability cover for safe operation of our facilities and services
- Trained staff experienced in both removals and storage handling
We can discuss insurance options for items while they are stored, including cover values and any exclusions. Our procedures are designed to minimise risk through careful handling, appropriate packing and secure access control.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your possessions as if they were our own. Our teams use padded covers, floor protection and proper stacking to reduce pressure on furniture and boxes. We encourage customers to use quality materials so items remain in good condition over time.
Sustainability matters to us. We aim to reduce waste by reusing crates where appropriate, offering recycled cartons, and responsibly recycling unwanted packing materials. Efficient use of unit space also means a smaller footprint, benefiting both you and the environment.
Real-World Ways People Use Our Self Storage
Moving House

Office & Business Relocation
Businesses use our units to hold desks, chairs, IT equipment and files during refurbishments or relocations. It avoids overloading temporary office space and keeps essential items safe but accessible.
Urgent & Short-Notice Moves
Life doesn’t always give much warning. If you need to vacate a property quickly, our storage units provide an immediate, organised solution. We can often arrange rapid collection and storage, giving you breathing space to plan your next steps properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Streatham cost?
Costs depend mainly on the unit size you need and how long you plan to store for. Smaller units for a few boxes and bags are naturally cheaper than spaces suitable for full house contents or large business stock. We price monthly as standard, with options for longer-term discounts in some cases. When you contact us, we’ll estimate the space required and provide a clear quote with no hidden extras. If you later find you need more or less room, we’ll help you move to a different unit size where available.
Can you offer same-day or urgent self storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or very short-notice storage, especially for emergency moves or last-minute changes of plan. The sooner you call us, the more options we’ll have on unit sizes and access times. If you also need help moving your items, we’ll check removals team availability and do our best to coordinate collection and storage in one seamless visit. While we can’t guarantee same-day space during peak periods, we always aim to find a practical, short-term solution.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Our facility and operations are protected by goods in transit insurance (when we move your items) and public liability cover. For contents stored in your unit, we can discuss suitable cover options based on the value of your belongings. Some customers choose to extend existing home or business policies to include items in storage. Others prefer cover arranged separately through us or a specialist provider. We’ll explain what is and isn’t included as standard, any documentation needed, and how to ensure your items are properly protected throughout their stay.
What’s included in your self storage service?
At the core, you receive a clean, dry, secure unit in our Streatham facility, with agreed access hours and clear contract terms. Our on-site team provide guidance on unit sizes, packing, and safe stacking of items. If required, we can add optional services: delivery of packing materials, professional packing by our crews, collection from your property, and later redelivery from storage. Security monitoring, building maintenance and basic customer support are all included in your rental. Any optional extras are quoted in advance so you can choose exactly what you need.
How is professional self storage different from a man-and-van or informal storage?
A casual man-and-van might move your items to a garage or lock-up, but you often have limited control over access, little clarity on insurance, and no guarantee of conditions. With our professional self storage, you have your own dedicated, lockable unit in a purpose-built facility, backed by formal agreements and clear responsibilities. Security, fire safety and building standards are properly managed. You can access your belongings according to agreed hours without relying on someone else’s availability, and you know exactly what you’re paying for and how your possessions are protected.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For the best choice of unit sizes and to coordinate any removals or packing support, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. This is especially important during busy moving periods such as summer and month-end. That said, we know plans can change quickly, so we keep some flexibility for short-notice enquiries. Even if your dates aren’t fixed, getting in touch early allows us to advise on likely options, reserve provisional space where possible, and help you plan packaging and logistics in good time.
