Boxroom Reading sits on Island Road just south of the town centre, 90 seconds from the A33 and one junction from the M4 at J11 — close enough that a van from Whitley, Earley or central Reading barely warms up. The store mixes big drive-up rooms for house moves with smaller climate-controlled units that suit the University of Reading crowd over summer and home-business stock all year. Everything is behind PIN-code entry with round-the-clock CCTV and individual door alarms, and the flat, wide corridors mean one person with a free trolley can empty a car in minutes. Prices start at £16 a week for a locker, weekly rolling terms, no deposit, and you can reserve online for free with nothing to pay until you move in. The on-site shop covers boxes, locks and bubble wrap.

Good to know

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.
