How Our Self Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with an outline of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few simple questions so we can recommend the right unit size and provide a clear, no-obligation quote. We will also discuss any help you may need with removals or transport.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
To ensure you only pay for the space you actually need, we can carry out a quick virtual survey by video call or an onsite visit. As experienced movers, we are very accurate at judging volumes, so you avoid the cost of an oversized unit or the frustration of picking one that is too small.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your belongings yourself, or we can supply professional packing materials such as boxes, tape and protective covers. Our removals teams also offer a full packing service if you prefer everything handled for you. We will advise you on how best to pack for safe, long-term storage, including labelling and stacking.
4. Loading & Transport
You are welcome to bring items in your own vehicle, or you can book our removals and transport service. Our trained moving teams will carefully load your belongings, securing them properly for the journey. Every vehicle we use is covered by goods in transit insurance for added peace of mind.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival at Storage Tolworth, we will guide you to your allocated unit. If using our removals service, our team will unload, stack and arrange your items carefully to maximise space and ensure safe access. We can also provide shelving by arrangement for better organisation, particularly for business and archive storage.
Transparent Self Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will set out:
- Unit size and weekly or monthly rate
- Any discounts for longer-term storage
- Optional costs for packing materials or packing services
- Any removals or transport charges if required
There are no hidden administration fees or surprise extras. We explain payment options, notice periods and access arrangements from the outset so you can budget with confidence.
Why Choose Professional Self Storage Over DIY Options
Using a professional self storage facility in Tolworth offers major advantages over garages, sheds or casual lock-ups:
- Purpose-built, dry units protected against damp and pests
- CCTV, controlled access and secure locking systems
- Insured premises with documented safety procedures
- Support from trained staff who understand handling and stacking
- Flexible contracts instead of informal, unstable arrangements
Combined with our removals experience, we can not only store your items but also advise on how to move, pack and protect them properly, reducing the risk of damage or loss.
Insurance & Professional Standards
As a storage and removals specialist, we take protection seriously. Our operation is supported by:
- Goods in transit insurance when we collect and deliver belongings
- Public liability cover for safe operation on and around our site
- Trained moving teams following established best practice
- Documented procedures for security, access control and incident reporting
We are committed to handling your possessions with the same care we would use for our own. If you have high-value or specialist items, we will discuss suitable cover and additional precautions before anything is moved.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We focus on keeping your belongings in excellent condition, while minimising waste and environmental impact. That includes:
- Clean, dry, regularly inspected units
- Protective materials such as blankets, covers and corner guards
- Guidance on safe stacking to avoid crushing and distortion
- Re-usable crates and durable packaging options where practical
- Responsible recycling of damaged cardboard and materials
By storing items correctly and avoiding unnecessary damage, you prolong their life and reduce the need for replacement, which is better for your budget and the environment.
Real-World Uses for Our Tolworth Self Storage
Moving House
If completion dates do not line up or you need to stage your home for sale, storage can bridge the gap. We often combine removals and self storage, collecting everything on move-out day and delivering it again once you receive your keys.
Office and Business Relocation
Businesses use our units to hold stock and equipment while relocating or reconfiguring their workspace. Storing items offsite lets you phase a move sensibly and keep operations running.
Renovations and Refits
Clearing rooms properly before builders start protects your belongings from dust, paint and accidental damage. Once the work is complete, we can deliver everything back, ready to place.
Urgent or Short-Notice Storage
Life does not always give much warning. Whether it is a sudden sale, a change of tenancy or a burst pipe, we will do our best to arrange same-day or next-day storage where units are available, including collection by our removals team if required.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Tolworth cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need and how long you plan to store for. Smaller units suitable for boxes and a few items of furniture are naturally cheaper than larger spaces designed for full house moves or business stock. We price per week or per month, with discounts often available for longer stays. Your quote will clearly show the unit size, rate and any optional services such as packing or removals, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit.
Can you offer same-day or urgent self storage?
Where we have availability, we can usually arrange same-day or next-day storage. If you can bring items yourself, we simply set up the paperwork and access for your arrival. If you also need help moving at short notice, our removals team will do their best to schedule a van and crew. Urgent bookings are handled on a first-come, first-served basis, so it is always worth calling us as soon as you know you need space. We will be upfront about timescales and options.
Is my property insured while in storage?
Our facility is covered by building and site insurance, and when we transport your goods we have goods in transit insurance in place. However, individual contents cover can vary, and many customers choose to extend their own home or business insurance to include items in storage. We will explain exactly what our policies cover and where you may wish to add extra protection, particularly for high-value goods. Our aim is to ensure you understand your position fully, without small print or ambiguity.
What is included in your self storage service?
Our core service includes a clean, secure, private unit; access during agreed opening hours; and on-site support from our professional team. We also provide trolleys and basic handling equipment to help move items from your vehicle. Optional extras include packing materials, a full or partial packing service, and collection or delivery by our removals crews. All details are set out in your agreement so you know what is included as standard and what can be added if you need extra help.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?
A man-and-van can move items from A to B, but rarely offers secure, insured storage and ongoing support. With Storage Tolworth, you are using a dedicated, monitored facility with proper access control, documented procedures and trained staff who handle storage every day. We can combine professional removals, expert packing and long- or short-term storage in one joined-up service. This reduces the risk of damage, misunderstanding or unexpected costs, and gives you a clear point of contact throughout.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For planned moves, we recommend booking as early as you can, particularly during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives you the best choice of unit sizes and allows time to arrange packing or removals if needed. That said, we understand that plans change and sometimes storage becomes necessary at short notice. We keep some flexibility in our schedule to accommodate urgent requests where possible. The sooner you contact us, the more options we can offer.
