Box it. Drop it. Done.
The whole Boxroom system in three steps. No jargon, no small print ambush — this is genuinely all there is to it.
Box it.
- Work out what you're storing — the size guide turns "a one-bed flat and a bike" into a unit size in under a minute.
- Reserve your Box online or by phone. It's free, takes no card details, and holds your price for 28 days.
- Need boxes? Order packing materials with your quote and they'll be waiting at reception.
Drop it.
- Bring photo ID on move-in day — that's the whole admin. You'll get your personal PIN code and your unit.
- Drive up to the covered loading bay, grab a free trolley or pallet truck, and use the goods lift if you're above ground.
- One trip or twenty — access is included, every day, with 24/7 entry at many stores.
Done.
- Your things sit behind your padlock, an individual door alarm, and CCTV that never blinks.
- Billing is weekly with no deposit. Switch unit sizes whenever life changes.
- Finished? Give seven days' notice, empty your unit, and your last bill adjusts to the day you leave.
The details people ask about
How much does self storage cost?
Prices depend on unit size and location. A 10 sq ft locker starts at £14 a week at our South East stores and around £21 a week in London; a 100 sq ft room for a full house move runs from £53 to £81 a week. Every price is per week with no deposit, and new customers get 50% off their first 8 weeks. Get an exact price with a free online quote — it takes under a minute.
What size unit do I need?
As a rule of thumb: a 25 sq ft unit fits the contents of a small van, 50 sq ft takes a one-bed flat, and 100 sq ft handles a two-bed house including white goods. Our interactive size guide narrows it down from what you're actually storing, and if you get it wrong you can switch sizes at any time — you only ever pay for the space you're in.
Is there a minimum stay or a deposit?
The minimum stay is one week and there's no deposit. Storage runs week to week; when you're done, give us seven days' notice and your last invoice is adjusted to the day you move out.
When can I access my unit?
Most stores are open every day 6am–10pm with your personal PIN code, and several — including Borehamwood, Woking, Crawley, Kingston and Croydon — offer 24/7 access as standard. Access hours are listed on each store's page.
How secure are Boxroom stores?
Every store has PIN-code entry, CCTV running around the clock, and individually alarmed units. Only you hold the key to your padlock — staff can't open your unit. Stores are also protected by fire and smoke detection throughout.
What can't I store?
No food or perishables, plants, animals, flammables (fuel, gas bottles, paint thinners), fireworks or explosives, illegal goods, or anything living or leaking. Cash, jewellery and irreplaceable items are best kept at home. If in doubt, ask the store team.
Do I need insurance?
Your goods must be insured while in storage. Many home contents policies extend to self storage — check yours. If not, we can arrange cover from £1 a week when you book, or you can bring your own policy certificate.
