Who Our Self Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect when you’re moving house, renovating, decluttering or preparing a property for sale. Store furniture, white goods, seasonal items and family keepsakes securely until you’re ready for them again.
Renters
If you’re between tenancies, moving in with a partner or house-sharing with limited space, self storage is a flexible way to keep excess furniture and boxes without committing to a bigger, more expensive rental property.
Landlords
Landlords use our units to store furniture during void periods, keep replacement appliances and fixtures on hand, and hold inventory for multiple properties while refurbishments are carried out.
Businesses
From sole traders to growing SMEs, our storage is ideal for stock, archived files, exhibition equipment, tools and office furniture. A great alternative to taking on extra commercial space, with clear, predictable costs.
Students
Students at nearby colleges and universities can avoid carting belongings home every term. Store bedding, books, clothes, small furniture and tech safely between terms or during a placement year.

How Our Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online and tell us what you need to store, for how long, and how often you expect to access it. We’ll recommend an appropriate unit size and provide a clear, no-obligation quote with all charges explained.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
If you’re unsure on volume, we can arrange a quick video call or, where appropriate, an onsite visit by one of our experienced team. We’ll assess your items just as we would for a removals survey, ensuring you don’t pay for more space than you really need.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or our removals crew can provide a professional packing service using proper boxes, wrapping and export-standard materials. We also supply boxes, tape, bubble wrap and furniture covers if you prefer to do it yourself.
4. Loading & Transport
Bring your items to our Ardleigh Green facility yourself, or book our removals vehicles for collection. As a trained removals company, we load carefully to minimise risk of damage in transit and in storage.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, either you or our team will place items in your unit, stacking safely and efficiently. We can help you create walkways and logical areas so you can access things easily later. You keep the key or access code and can visit during our opening hours.
Transparent, Straightforward Pricing
We believe storage pricing should be easy to understand. Our charges are based on:
- Unit size (measured in square feet or cubic feet)
- Length of stay (weekly or monthly)
- Any optional extras (packing materials, removals transport, packing service)
You’ll receive a clear breakdown before you commit, with no hidden “admin” extras. Long-term and pre-paid bookings may qualify for discounts, and we’ll always try to match the space to your genuine needs rather than upselling a larger unit.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Storing with a fully insured, established company like Storage Ardleigh Green offers several advantages over ad-hoc solutions:
- Purpose-built storage environment – dry, ventilated, monitored and maintained
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover when we move your goods
- Trained staff handling your belongings, not casual labour
- Secure access controls and detailed records of occupancy
- Clear terms and conditions, with a proper contract and invoicing
In contrast, informal arrangements in garages, sheds or borrowed space can leave your possessions exposed to damp, theft or disputes over access and responsibilities.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a removals and storage specialist, we follow professional industry standards. Where we provide transport, your goods are protected by goods in transit insurance, and our operations are backed by public liability cover. We can also discuss additional cover for high-value items if required, and we’ll always be honest about what is and isn’t covered so you can make an informed decision.
Our teams are trained in safe lifting, loading, stacking and protecting goods for longer-term storage. We handle your possessions with the same care we would expect for our own.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Protecting your belongings starts with the basics: clean, dry units; regular inspections; and sensible rules on what can be stored. We encourage the use of proper boxes, furniture covers and breathable materials to reduce the risk of damage.
We also take a practical approach to sustainability. We reuse strong cartons where suitable, offer durable reusable covers, and can advise on how to minimise waste when packing. Where materials can’t be reused, we dispose of them responsibly through appropriate recycling streams.
Real-World Self Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Often completion and moving dates don’t line up. Use our units as a buffer between properties so you don’t have to rush decisions or cram everything into temporary accommodation.
Office Moves and Business Growth
During an office relocation or refurbishment, store spare desks, filing cabinets, IT equipment and archives securely. As your business grows, use self storage as a flexible extension of your workspace without taking on a longer lease.
Urgent or Short-Notice Storage
Sometimes circumstances change quickly – a sale falls through, a tenant moves out unexpectedly or building work is brought forward. Subject to availability, we can arrange storage at short notice, and our removals vehicles can help you move items into your unit promptly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Ardleigh Green cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of the unit and how long you need it for. Smaller units suitable for boxes and a few smaller items are naturally cheaper than larger spaces for full house contents. We charge on a weekly or monthly basis, with discounts sometimes available for longer-term commitments or prepayment. There may be additional costs if you choose extras such as our packing service or collection and delivery using our vehicles. We’ll always provide a clear written quote before you commit.
Can you offer same-day or urgent self storage?
In many cases, yes. If we have units available, we can usually arrange storage at very short notice, and often on the same day. Call us as soon as you know you need space so we can confirm availability and size options. If you also require transport, our removals team will do their best to fit you in around existing bookings. While we can’t guarantee every emergency, we are used to dealing with last-minute moves and will always look for a practical solution.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
When we transport your goods to or from our facility, they are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to our terms and conditions. While in storage, we require that items are insured, either through your existing home or business policy or through an additional policy arranged for the unit. We can provide guidance on suitable cover and indicative values. Insurance arrangements will be explained clearly when you sign up, so you understand exactly how your possessions are protected.
What’s included in your self storage service?
Our core service includes a clean, secure, allocated unit; controlled access during opening hours; CCTV and security; and straightforward billing. You can then add optional services such as supply of packing materials, a professional packing service, collection and delivery by our removals vehicles, and help with loading and stacking. We’re also on hand for practical advice about packing, unit size and how best to arrange your belongings. You only pay for the options you actually need, keeping the service flexible.
How is professional storage different from a basic man-and-van service?
A basic man-and-van typically offers transport only, with goods often going to ad-hoc or third-party locations with limited controls. By contrast, we provide a dedicated, monitored storage facility plus trained staff, documented procedures and appropriate insurance. Your items are held in a secure, purpose-built environment under a clear contract. We also offer continuity: the same company collects, stores and, if required, redelivers your belongings. This reduces risk, confusion and potential disputes over damage or access.
How far in advance should I book self storage?
If you know your dates, it’s sensible to reserve a unit one to four weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. Early booking gives you the widest choice of unit sizes and helps us coordinate any removals assistance you may need. That said, we understand that plans change and sometimes storage is needed quickly. If your timescale is tight, still get in touch – we’ll check live availability and try to offer a practical option, even at short notice.
