- Modern security with CCTV and controlled access

Local Storage Expertise in Colindale
We know Colindale and the wider North West London area extremely well. Many of our storage customers are moving in and out of new-build flats, period conversions and terraced homes, which often have limited internal storage. We also work closely with local businesses along the Edgware Road corridor and in nearby retail and light industrial estates.
Because we also operate as a removals company, we can coordinate your move and storage together. If you are moving within Colindale, Hendon, Burnt Oak, Mill Hill or central London, we can collect your items, store them safely, and deliver them on your chosen date – all managed by one trained, experienced team.
Who Our Self Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are selling, downsizing, renovating or simply reclaiming your loft or garage. Store furniture, seasonal items, sports gear and family belongings without cluttering up your home.
Renters
If you are between tenancies, house-sharing, or don’t want to commit to a larger property just for storage, our flexible units let you keep your possessions safe on a rolling basis without long contracts.
Landlords
Use self storage to hold furniture between lets, keep replacement appliances and spares, or store fixtures while refurbishing. It’s a practical way to keep rental properties presentable and uncluttered.
Businesses
Perfect for stock, documents, exhibition materials, tools and equipment. Our secure rooms are a cost-effective alternative to leasing more commercial space, with predictable monthly costs and no business rates on the unit.
Students
Based in Colindale, Hendon or central London for university? Store your belongings over the summer or during placements instead of dragging everything home. Ideal for books, clothes, small furniture and kitchen items.

Our storage rooms are suitable for most everyday household and business items, including:
- Furniture – sofas, beds, tables, wardrobes and shelving
- Boxes of clothes, books, toys and personal items
- Appliances such as microwaves, fridges and washing machines (defrosted and dry)
- Business documents, archive boxes and records
- Stock for online shops and small retailers

How Our Self Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We will recommend a unit size and provide a clear, no-obligation price based on your requirements.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
If you are not sure what size unit you need, we can carry out a short virtual survey via video call, or in some cases visit your property. As experienced movers, we are good at estimating space accurately so you are not paying for unused capacity.
3. Packing & Preparation
You are welcome to pack your own items, or we can provide a packing service through our removals team. We use quality boxes, wrapping and protective materials to keep your belongings safe in store. Proper packing reduces the risk of damage and makes best use of the storage space.
4. Loading & Transport
Bring your items to our Colindale facility yourself, or choose our collection service. Our trained moving teams will carefully load, blanket-wrap and secure your goods in the vehicle, then unload them directly into your storage room.
5. Unloading, Storage & Access
Once your goods are in your unit, you secure it with your own lock and key or access code. During opening hours you can visit, add or remove items as needed. When you are ready to move out, simply clear the unit and give the agreed notice period.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We keep our pricing simple and clear. Your monthly storage cost is based on:
- Unit size (measured in square feet or cubic capacity)
- Length of stay – short term or ongoing
- Any additional services, such as collection, packing or delivery
There are no hidden fees for basic access, and we will explain any optional charges (for example, packing materials) in advance. Longer-term customers and business accounts may be eligible for discounted rates. We are always happy to compare sizes and options with you to ensure you only pay for the space you genuinely need.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Storing belongings with a fully insured, established storage and removals company offers several advantages over using informal options:
- Purpose-built, secure facility rather than a garage or lock-up
- Consistent temperature and dry conditions to protect furniture and fabrics
- Proper contracts, clear terms and documented inventory if required
- Access to trained staff who handle heavy and delicate items safely
- Optional collection and delivery by our own teams – not subcontractors
With casual man-and-van arrangements, you often have no formal protection if something is lost, damaged or access becomes an issue. Our service is designed to be reliable, accountable and straightforward.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a long-established removals and storage provider, we take protection seriously. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance when our teams collect and deliver your items
- Public liability cover for work we undertake on your premises
- Security measures including CCTV and controlled access to the facility
- Trained moving teams used to handling fragile, bulky and high-value items
We will explain exactly what is covered under our policies and what may require separate cover. Clear, honest advice is part of our professional approach.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat stored items with the same care as if they were remaining in your home or office. That means using protective materials, sensible stacking, and avoiding overloading boxes or shelving. If we pack for you, our crews ensure everything is labelled clearly to make retrieval simple.
We are also conscious of our environmental responsibilities. Where possible we use reusable crates, recyclable materials and efficient route planning for collections and deliveries to minimise fuel usage. We encourage customers to reuse cartons where safe, and we can advise on best practices for a more sustainable move and storage plan.
Real-World Uses for Our Self Storage in Colindale
Moving House
If your purchase and sale dates don’t quite line up, or you are moving abroad temporarily, self storage gives you breathing space. We can manage the move-out, storage period and final delivery.
Office Relocation or Refurbishment
Businesses often store desks, chairs, filing cabinets, IT equipment and archive boxes with us while changing premises or refurbishing. It keeps the working environment clear and protects items from dust and damage.
Urgent or Last-Minute Storage
Sometimes life moves quickly – a sudden tenancy end, emergency repair, or unexpected work abroad. Subject to availability, we can arrange same-day or short-notice storage, including collection where required.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Colindale cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size of unit you need and how long you plan to store for. Smaller units suitable for boxes and a few pieces of furniture are naturally cheaper than rooms large enough for a full house. We charge a simple monthly fee, with discounts sometimes available for longer commitments or business users. There are no hidden access charges. Contact us with a rough list of items or room count and we will suggest an appropriate size and provide a clear, detailed quote before you commit.
Can you offer same-day or urgent self storage?
In many cases, yes. If we have suitable units available, we can set up storage on the same day, and where required arrange rapid collection through our removals teams. This is particularly helpful if a tenancy ends unexpectedly, a sale completes sooner than planned, or emergency works are needed at your property. The more information you can give us when you call – what you need to store and any access restrictions – the quicker we can confirm availability and pricing. We always do our best to accommodate urgent requests.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
We maintain goods in transit insurance for items we move to and from the storage facility, and public liability cover for our work. For items in store, many customers choose to extend their existing home or business insurance to cover goods at our address, or take out separate storage insurance. We will clearly explain what our policies include and what remains your responsibility. Our facility has CCTV and controlled access as standard, but insurance is an additional layer of protection for peace of mind, particularly for higher-value items.
What is included in your self storage service?
As standard, you receive a secure, clean, dry unit in our Colindale facility, access during our published opening hours, and support from our on-site team. You can bring your goods in yourself, or add optional services such as professional packing, collection from your home or office, and redelivery at the end of your storage period. We can also supply packing materials like boxes, tape and bubble wrap. All charges are explained upfront so you can decide what level of service suits your budget and timescale best.
How is professional storage different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically focuses on transport only and may deliver your belongings to an off-site lock-up with very limited facilities or security. By contrast, we operate a dedicated storage facility with monitored access, CCTV and proper contracts. Our trained staff handle your items carefully, we provide fully insured transit when we move your goods, and your unit is clean, dry and fit for longer-term storage. You also benefit from clear terms, predictable costs and a stable, established business you can contact easily if your plans change.
How far in advance should I book self storage?
If you know your dates, it is sensible to reserve your unit one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end when moves peak. This gives you the widest choice of unit sizes and time slots for any collection service you might need. That said, we understand that plans change, and we regularly help customers at short notice. Even if you are unsure of exact dates, we can advise on likely availability and hold a provisional booking while your arrangements are finalised.
