Self Storage in Greenwich with Storage Greenwich
At Storage Greenwich, we provide secure, flexible self storage solutions for households, businesses and students across Greenwich and the surrounding areas. Run by experienced local removals and storage professionals, our facilities are designed to keep your belongings safe, protected and easily accessible whenever you need them.
Professional Self Storage, Run by Removals Experts
Because we operate both removals and storage, we understand how people really use self storage: for moves, refurbishments, business stock, and all the life events in between. Our units are clean, dry and fully insured, with sensible access hours and straightforward terms. Whether you need a small locker for a few boxes or a large unit for furniture and equipment, we can match the space to your needs.
Local Expertise in Greenwich
Being based in Greenwich means we know the area, the housing stock and the challenges of London living: limited space, tight access and busy schedules. We regularly support customers from Greenwich, Blackheath, Deptford, Charlton and the wider South East London area.
Our team can advise on unit sizes, best times for loading, and practicalities such as parking, permits and coordinating with your removals. If you prefer, our removals crews can collect from your home or office, bring everything into storage, and later redeliver to your new address.
Who Our Self Storage Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling or renovating, self storage is ideal for decluttering, protecting furniture during building works, or holding belongings between completion dates. We frequently help homeowners store full house contents, single rooms or seasonal items like garden furniture and sports equipment.
Renters
Tenancies do not always line up perfectly. Our flexible storage allows renters to bridge short gaps between rentals, store excess furniture that will not fit into a new flat, or keep personal items safe while house sharing. You only pay for the space and time you actually need.
Landlords
Landlords often use our units to store furniture between lets, hold replacement appliances, or keep staging items safe. We can work around check-in and check-out dates and coordinate access with your contractors or letting agent if required.
Businesses
For businesses, self storage is a cost-effective alternative to a larger office or warehouse. We support trades, online retailers, professional services and charities with space for stock, tools, marketing materials, archives and event equipment. Our professional staff can help you plan shelving and layout so you get the most from your unit.
Students
Greenwich and nearby areas have a large student population. Our smaller units are ideal for term-time or summer storage of books, clothes, small furniture and electronics. Avoid moving everything back home and enjoy a simple, secure place to keep your things until next term.
What You Can Store (and What You Can’t)
Items Commonly Stored
- Household furniture and furnishings

Items We Cannot Accept
To protect all customers and comply with regulations, some items are excluded from storage:

- Illegal items or anything obtained unlawfully

If you are unsure whether a particular item is allowed, our team will advise before you book.
How Our Self Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or online form with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few simple questions about volume, access needs and any timing constraints. Based on this, we recommend a unit size and provide a clear, no-obligation quote.
2. Storage Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
If your requirements are more complex, or you are combining storage with removals, we can arrange a virtual video survey or an onsite visit. This helps us confirm the right unit size, discuss any special packing requirements and plan access for larger pieces such as pianos or oversized furniture.
3. Packing & Preparation
You are welcome to pack and bring items yourself, or you can use our professional packing and removals service. Our trained teams can supply packing materials, wrap fragile items, and prepare furniture for storage, ensuring everything is well protected and labelled for easy retrieval.
4. Loading & Transport
Bring your belongings to our Greenwich storage facility using your own vehicle, or let our removals crews collect from your address. We load carefully to make best use of the unit, avoid crushing boxes, and ensure heavier items are safely positioned. For business customers, we can schedule regular collections or deliveries if needed.
5. Unloading, Access & Future Move-Out
Once your goods are in storage, you have access during our published opening hours. When you are ready to move out, simply let us know and we can either arrange redelivery through our removals service or assist you when you come to collect. We make move-out as straightforward as move-in, with no hidden steps.
Transparent Pricing for Self Storage in Greenwich
We keep pricing simple. Your cost depends mainly on three factors: unit size, length of stay and any optional services such as packing or collection and delivery. We explain all charges in advance, including deposits and notice periods.
There are no unexpected admin fees. If your needs change – for example, you need a smaller or larger unit – we will help you transfer, so you are not paying for space you do not use. We are always happy to compare options and help you choose the most cost-effective arrangement.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over Informal Options
Using a professional storage facility is very different from storing items in a friend’s garage or hiring a casual man-and-van with an unknown lock-up. With Storage Greenwich you benefit from:
- Fully insured units with appropriate goods in transit insurance when we transport items
- Professional, monitored premises with controlled access
- Dry, secure storage designed to protect your belongings from damp and damage
- Clear contracts, predictable costs and proper invoices for business use
- Support from trained staff who handle moves and storage every day
DIY options can seem cheaper but often lead to damage, loss or disputes. Our approach is to provide reliable, well-managed storage you can trust.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a removals and storage company, we work to recognised industry standards. Our services include:
- Goods in transit insurance when we collect or deliver your belongings
- Public liability cover for work at your property and on our premises
- Trained moving teams who understand safe lifting, packing and loading
We will explain insurance options clearly when you book. You can often choose between standard cover and additional protection for higher-value items, depending on your circumstances and any existing policies you may hold.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Looking after your belongings properly starts with good preparation. We recommend sturdy boxes, appropriate padding and clear labelling. When you use our packing service, we wrap and protect items as if they were our own, using high-quality materials and proven techniques.
Sustainability matters to us. Wherever possible we reuse packing materials, offer reusable crates to business customers, and encourage responsible recycling of unwanted items rather than sending them to landfill. Our facilities are managed to minimise waste and energy use while maintaining the security and climate conditions your possessions require.
Real-World Ways Customers Use Our Storage
Moving House
Moves do not always run to a neat timetable. Self storage is often used to bridge the gap between selling and buying, to hold non-essential items while a property is staged, or to simplify a long-distance move. Because we offer both removals and storage, we can plan everything as one joined-up service.
Office and Business Relocation
Businesses use our Greenwich units during office moves, fit-outs and restructures. You can store furniture, IT equipment, files and stock safely offsite while your new premises are prepared. We can also provide ongoing storage for archive boxes or infrequently used equipment.
Urgent or Short-Notice Storage
Sometimes storage is needed quickly – a last-minute change of plans, an unexpected landlord decision, or urgent repairs at home or work. Subject to availability, we can often arrange units and, if required, removals support at short notice. Contact us as early as you can and we will do our best to accommodate urgent needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Greenwich cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you choose and how long you need it for. Smaller units suitable for a few boxes and small items are understandably cheaper than larger spaces that can hold the contents of a whole flat or office. We charge monthly, with clear pricing that includes basic access and security. Optional services such as packing, collection and delivery are quoted separately so you can decide what you need. Contact us with a rough inventory and we will provide a tailored, no-obligation quote.
Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?
In many cases, yes. If we have units available, we can often arrange storage on the same day, particularly for smaller spaces or short-term needs. For larger or more complex requirements, we will do our best to respond quickly and may be able to send a surveyor or removals crew at short notice. The sooner you call us, the more options we can offer. Urgent bookings follow the same professional standards, with proper paperwork, security checks and insurance options explained clearly.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your goods are protected by our site security measures and you can also arrange insurance cover for the period they are stored. When we transport your items, our goods in transit insurance provides protection up to agreed limits. We will discuss insurance options when you book, including any requirements for valuation and packing standards. Some customers choose to extend their home or business insurance to cover storage; others prefer a policy arranged through us. We are happy to explain the differences so you can choose the right level of protection.
What is included in your self storage service?
Our core service includes a secure, clean unit in our Greenwich facility, use of your own lock, and access during our published opening hours. The site is monitored and managed by professional staff. In addition, you can choose optional extras such as packing materials, trained packing crews, collection and delivery, and assistance with loading or unloading. We provide clear documentation, invoices and terms, so you know exactly what is included. If you need something specific – for example regular business deliveries – we can usually build this into a tailored plan.
How is professional storage different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van might move items cheaply, but usually offers limited protection and no proper storage environment. With Storage Greenwich, your belongings are handled by trained teams, held in a secure, purpose-built facility, and can be covered by appropriate insurance. We use suitable packing, stacking and loading methods to reduce risk of damage. You also have a clear contract, predictable costs and a consistent point of contact. For anything more than very short-term or low-value items, professional storage is generally safer and more reliable than improvised solutions.
How far in advance should I book storage?
We recommend booking as early as you can, especially during busy periods such as the summer and month-end. A week or two’s notice is usually enough for straightforward requirements, but larger moves and combined removals-and-storage bookings benefit from more planning time. That said, we regularly help customers at short notice and will always try to accommodate you where capacity allows. If your dates are uncertain, we can hold a provisional booking and adjust details once your plans firm up.
