If you’re taking the exciting step of moving overseas, you’re going to have a lot of preparation to do. One important item on your to-do list will be to sort out your belongings. What will you take with you and how will you ship it, and what will you do with anything you leave behind?

It may not be feasible to ship everything you own to your new country. But there may be items you can’t bear to sell or give away like family heirlooms or antique furniture, or things you’ll need at a later date.

For example, you may be moving to a small apartment abroad for a year-long work contract, but have plans to move back to your 2-bed home in the UK. In that case, you’ll need somewhere safe to store your extra furniture and belongings until your return.

For all of these scenarios, long-term storage is the ideal solution.

Here at Kiwi Storage, we regularly help individuals, families and even businesses moving overseas. We have a conveniently located self-storage unit in Wandsworth, and offer both affordable pricing and flexible storage options.

Why choose us for long-term storage?

If you’re storing items of financial and/or sentimental value for months or even years, you need to find a storage solution you can wholeheartedly trust. It’s a different prospect compared to hiring a locker or small self-storage container for just a few weeks.

You need to be confident that your belongings will be safe, protected and ready for you to access when you return from your overseas adventure. So, you should choose your storage company very carefully.

Here are just a few reasons why Kiwi Storage in Wandsworth could be just what you’re looking for…

A convenient, central Wandsworth location

You’ll have a mountain of things to do before moving day. So the last thing you need is a long drive to an obscure industrial estate in the middle of nowhere – this is what you’ll experience with some storage facilities.

Kiwi Storage is different, as we’ve made sure to choose central, convenient locations that can be reached easily.

Our long-term storage unit in Wandsworth is located on Garratt Lane, one of the major roads in the area and one which connects Wandsworth High Street to Tooting Broadway. It’s easy to reach by car, and there’s plenty of parking available.

We’re also less than 20 minutes walk (10 minutes by bus) from Wandsworth Town train station if you ever need to visit your unit on foot.

Access when you need it

A super secure storage unit is great, but you also need convenient access at times that suit you.

For some overseas movers, it may be a whole year before you need to access your stuff. But for others, regular access may be required. For example, you may be gradually moving your belongings overseas, or simply need to pop in during visits to the UK to check on things.

Whatever you need, you’ll find it easy to access your Kiwi Storage unit. We offer convenient opening hours, including weekends. Extended access outside standing opening hours may also be available on request.

Easy online booking

Booking your storage doesn’t have to be a time-consuming hassle. We make it incredibly easy, where you can get quotes and book storage online in just a few clicks. This can be enormously helpful if you’re planning a big overseas move and have a million things to do.

Of course, our friendly team is always on the other end of the phone if you need them – just call 020 8264 0550 if you need help.
