Who Our Self Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, renovating or decluttering, our self storage is ideal for keeping furniture, boxes and seasonal items safely out of the way. We regularly help homeowners stage their properties by storing excess belongings until after completion.
Renters
Between tenancies or moving into a smaller place? A storage unit allows you to keep your furniture and personal items without rushing decisions about what to keep or discard. It is also useful for storing bulky items that will not fit in your new rental.
Landlords
Landlords use our units to hold furniture between lets, store replacement white goods, or keep tools and materials secure. It is a practical way to manage furnished and part-furnished properties around Falconwood.
Businesses
Local businesses, trades and online retailers use our business storage for stock, files, tools and equipment. It is often more cost-effective and flexible than taking on extra commercial space, with the benefit of secure access and helpful staff.
Students
Students needing storage between terms or during a year abroad can share a unit to keep belongings safe without paying rent on a room. It is especially useful for those returning home for summer but wishing to leave books, clothing and kitchen items near campus.
What You Can Store with Us
Our units are suitable for a wide range of household and business items, including:
- Furniture: sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
- Boxes of clothes, books, toys and personal effects
- Household appliances and electricals
- Office furniture, filing cabinets and archives
- Tools, trade equipment and exhibition materials
- Sports gear, hobby equipment and seasonal items
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot accept:
- Perishable goods or food likely to spoil
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals)
- Illegal items or anything obtained unlawfully
- Live animals or plants
- Unregistered firearms or weapons
- Cash or high-value jewellery that should be held in a bank or safe-deposit facility
If you are unsure about a particular item, our professional team will be happy to advise before you book.
How Our Self Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or email with an outline of what you need to store and for how long. We will discuss unit sizes, access requirements and any additional services, such as collection or packing. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote.
2. Storage Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
To ensure you only pay for the space you need, we can carry out a virtual or onsite survey. We look at the volume and type of items, how they can be stacked, and any special handling requirements. This helps us recommend the most suitable unit size and layout.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your belongings yourself or use our professional packing service, where our trained teams supply quality materials and safely pack your items. We advise on labelling, protecting fragile goods and optimising boxes for stacking in your unit.
4. Loading & Transport
If you wish, our removals crews can collect items from your home, office or student accommodation and bring them directly to your storage unit. We use protective blankets, straps and trolleys to minimise the risk of damage in transit and on site.
5. Unloading & Placement in Your Unit
On arrival at Storage Falconwood, we carefully unload and place items into your allocated unit. We stack and arrange them logically so that frequently used items remain accessible. Once everything is in, the unit is locked and you retain the key or access credentials.
Transparent and Fair Pricing
Our pricing is straightforward and explained clearly before you commit. Costs are typically based on:
- Unit size (e.g. small locker, medium unit, large room)
- Length of stay (short or long term)
- Optional services (collection, packing, packing materials)
There are no hidden charges for basic access during opening hours. We discuss any additional fees, such as out-of-hours access or insurance upgrades, in advance so you can budget with confidence.
Why Choose Professional Storage over DIY or Casual Options
Using a professional storage company like Storage Falconwood offers several advantages over storing items in a friend’s garage, a damp shed, or using a casual man-and-van with no formal facility:
- Purpose-built, secure units rather than unsuitable spaces
- Proper inventory, handling and stacking to protect your belongings
- Goods in transit insurance when we collect and deliver
- Reliable access and clear terms, rather than informal arrangements
- Support from trained staff who move and store items daily
This reduces the risk of damage, loss and disputes, and offers greater peace of mind.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised industry standards.
- Goods in transit insurance covers your belongings while being moved to or from our facility when transported by us.
- Public liability cover protects you and your property while we are working on your premises or assisting on site.
- All staff are trained in safe lifting, packing and handling techniques.
We can also discuss additional cover for high-value items if required. Policy details and limits are available on request, and we always encourage customers to confirm that the level of cover matches their needs.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your possessions as if they were our own. That means using protective blankets, proper stacking techniques and suitable packing materials to minimise the risk of knocks, scuffs or crushing. Units are dry, clean and ventilated to help protect against damp and dust.
We also take a responsible approach to sustainability where possible by reusing sturdy packing materials, offering reusable crates on some moves, and recycling cardboard and plastics. When customers no longer need certain items, we can advise on local donation and recycling options rather than sending everything to landfill.
Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House
When completion dates do not line up, or you want to declutter before marketing your property, self storage is invaluable. We can move your items into storage, then deliver them to your new home once you are ready, reducing stress on moving day.
Office Relocation
Businesses relocating around Falconwood often need temporary space for furniture, files and IT equipment. Using our business storage means you can phase your move, keep critical equipment accessible and avoid overcrowding your new premises while you settle in.
Urgent or Short-Notice Storage
Life does not always give much warning. If you need storage quickly due to a last-minute move, refurbishment or change in circumstances, we do our best to offer rapid solutions. Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-week, and occasionally same-day, unit access and collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Falconwood cost?
Prices depend mainly on the size of unit you need and how long you require it. Smaller units for boxes and a few smaller items cost less than rooms large enough for full house contents. We quote on a weekly or monthly basis and explain any optional extras, such as collection, packing or upgraded insurance. There are no hidden access fees during normal opening hours. Contact us with a rough list of items or room count and we will provide a clear, tailored quote before you commit.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where availability allows, we can often arrange storage at short notice, and occasionally on the same day. The sooner you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of unit size and collection slots. For urgent situations, we prioritise clear communication and practical solutions, such as temporary overspill units or phased collections. While we cannot guarantee same-day every time, we will always explain what is realistically possible and work with you to secure space as quickly as we can.
What insurance cover do you provide?
When we transport your belongings to or from Storage Falconwood, they are covered by our goods in transit insurance, up to the policy limits. While in store, customers typically have cover through our standard storage insurance or their own home or business policy, depending on what they prefer. We also hold public liability cover to protect you and your property while we are working on site. We are happy to share policy details, limits and conditions so you can decide if additional cover is necessary for high-value items.
What is included in your self storage service?
Our core service includes secure, locked storage space in Falconwood, monitored by CCTV and controlled access. You get a clean, dry unit, access during agreed opening hours, and support from our professional team on choosing sizes and arranging your move-in. For an additional charge, we can also provide packing materials, a professional packing service, collection from your property, and redelivery at the end of your storage period. Everything included and optional is clearly explained in your quote so you know exactly what to expect.
How is professional storage different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only and may drop your items in a garage or lock-up with little security or paperwork. By contrast, Storage Falconwood provides purpose-built, secure units with monitored access, clear contracts, and trained staff who understand careful handling and stacking. We combine goods in transit insurance with robust on-site security and proper documentation. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, loss or misunderstandings and offers more predictable access and standards than informal arrangements.
How far in advance should I book storage?
If possible, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy moving periods such as the end of the month or summer. This gives you the best choice of unit sizes and collection slots. However, we know that plans can change, so we also accommodate last-minute bookings where availability allows. If you are unsure of exact dates, we can often reserve a provisional unit and adjust your start date once your plans are confirmed, keeping everything as flexible as we reasonably can.
