How to find cheap storage in Wandsworth

We’re here to help, with a handy guide on finding the cheapest prices for self-storage in Wandsworth. It all starts with a spot of research.

Assess your needs

Before you start shopping around for storage, you need to pinpoint exactly what you’re looking for. The most important thing is to know exactly how much space you need, or you could end up paying extra for space you simply don’t use.

Storage facilities typically offer units in a wide range of different sizes, spanning everything from a shed-size unit right through to larger spaces in which you can fit the contents of a four-bedroom house. For example, at the Kiwi Storage site in Wandsworth, we have units from 5 square foot to 150 square foot.

Each is priced accordingly, so it’s crucial to get the one that matches the amount of stuff you have. You can use our handy space estimator tool to work out what size unit you need.

Get lots of quotes

To find the very cheapest prices for self storage in Wandsworth, you’re going to need to get and compare a few different quotes. The first place you contact isn’t necessarily going to be the cheapest, so it’s best to try a few.

Pay close attention to promotional offers, such as introductory discounts or price-match guarantees. There may also be discounts available for longer bookings, so you could make some savings if you’re looking for long-term storage.

Check for extra charges

In most cases, the price you’re quoted for a storage unit will be the price you pay. But it’s not unheard of for storage facilities to charge extra fees, for things like:

• Insurance
• Security deposits
• Accessing your unit outside of standard hours.

It’s always worth checking these before you sign a contract for the storage unit. You should also check the small print on the contract itself, to make sure there are no surprise rent increases or charges for moving out of your unit early.

Make sure it meets your needs

A word of warning at this point – a storage unit may be the cheapest you can find, but it’s no good if it doesn’t meet your needs.

Key things to check are the cleanliness and security of the facility, as well as the access requirements. Can you access your unit when you need to, and what are the procedures like?

Another crucial factor is the location. Ideally, you’ll want your unit to be in central Wandsworth, near a major road and local transport links.

Good to know: the Kiwi Storage Wandsworth facility is on Merton Road, right in the heart of the borough.

It’s just minutes away from Southfields Tube and Earlsfield Train Station, as well as local bus routes. And it’s conveniently located for easy access to and from the A3, if you’re coming by car.

We have a choice of self-storage units, and even offer mobile storage where we come to you.

Tips for saving money on self-storage in Wandsworth

Now, here are some quick additional tips to help you get the cheapest prices for self-storage in Wandsworth:

• Pack your stuff and your unit carefully and strategically. This includes techniques like vac-packing items like bedding, storing items inside each other and planning out the best way to organise your storage unit.
• De-clutter. Before moving anything into your unit, make absolutely sure it’s something you want or need to hang on to. Getting rid of just a few items could make the difference between unit sizes, which could save you money.
• Consider sharing a unit with a trusted friend or family member, and then you can halve the cost.
