London Student Storage

The price per unit is determined by the size of the room you need. The rental charge is calculated according to the amount of floor space of the storage room, the smaller the floor area the lower the price.

Prices may also vary on the unit location in the storage centre. For instance ground floor and closer to access doors may be a higher price than on a higher level requiring lift or stair access.

In a word No. You simply pay for the storage you need.

You will need to provide proof of insurance from your household cover or take out insurance through us on a new for old basis.

Please refer to our unit size comparison which provides useful information to help you work out how much storage you need. Alternatively one of our helpful team can assist you with selecting the right size unit.

Generally students use 10 - 15sqft of storage.

Self Storage:

This generally won’t be a problem. Subject to availability we can either provide a larger storage unit or provide additional units. Please note that this is dependent on availability at the facility. We also have additional storage space at other locations and our friendly team will work out a plan.

What documentation do I need to book?

We require two forms of ID. A copy of your drivers licence, passport or student ID and a photo of you holding up the ID (just to make sure it is actually you!)

We will also need an emergency contact number in case you are overseas for example.

Self Storage:

Not a problem. There are no charges.

Once your collection day and time is confirmed our team will arrive and load your items. They will collect from anywhere in the collection address, but your goods must be packed and any items that require disassembling to be disassembled or extra charges may be incurred.

Likewise when you need your goods back, a team will deliver them at the agreed date and time.

This will very much depend on exactly what you want to store in them. It can also depend, to an extent, on where you get the boxes.

All of the boxes available from our sister company Kiwi Movers are double-walled to help strengthen the box structure. Hence, whatever size of box someone recommends you go for, you might need some extra allowance when ordering boxes from Kiwi Movers. 

However, the added strength of these boxes helps to prevent them from inadvertently breaking when they are being used to transport goods. Therefore, ordering these particular storage boxes can help to prevent you from needing to replace them too soon.

The names of some types of boxes — like ‘book boxes’ and ‘wardrobe boxes’ — are self-explanatory about what they are specially designed for. Size dimensions for each kind of box can also be found here.

When estimating what size packing boxes you will need, you should also take account of what other packing materials you will use with them. These could include tape and bubble wrap, both of which are also supplied by Kiwi Movers.

Bubble wrap can be crucial for cushioning a box’s contents but also take up a surprising amount of space within the box itself. Meanwhile, tape would be used for keeping a packed box firmly closed.

So, you should carefully consider how much free space a box would leave you with once the required amount of bubble wrap has been put into it and the upper flaps of the box have been taped shut and flat.

Here, exactly what you seek to store is a vital factor. Our student storage solutions include self storage and mobile storage — but, whichever of these two types of storage unit you are looking to book from us, you can benefit from heeding a few loose guidelines.

As you can see from our space estimator tool, a locker of 9 square feet can be deemed sufficient for student storage. That’s because this size is enough to accommodate backpacks as well as small boxes. However, your own student storage needs could be more demanding than this.

You might want to consider a larger size if, for example, you are a mature student who will be living at home during their studies and consequently in possession of larger items, like bikes, white goods and furniture.

Nonetheless, even you do have bulky items like these, we can move them into a self-storage unit that fits your items - and wallet - best.

To find out which storage solution will work for your situation, or for further details about how the sizes of our storage units differ, you can email us at [email protected]. We’ll be more than happy to help!

When placing treasured belongings into storage units, you want to be confident that they will keep them safe and secure for however long your items are stored there.

Since you are a student, this could potentially be years on end. However, you can take comfort that we leave no stone unturned when it comes to the security at our London storage facilities.

These sites are monitored by CCTV 24 hours a day, while the modern storage containers at these facilities are tamper proof and accessible only via restricted means of authorisation. These include facial recognition and number plate recognition.

We also have onsite systems ensuring that activity at the storage facility is recorded. With all of these layers of security in place, you can be confident that your stored items will remain safe and sound even if you leave them untouched for years.

Of course, the storage units we offer include not only self storage compartments but also our Kiwi. These, too, are built for strength and safety — and members of our team can advise you on how to fill these vessels without putting their contents at risk.

Whether you use self storage or mobile storage, we will have qualified drivers safely transport your items to any of the above-mentioned storage facilities run by Kiwi Storage. This means that you don’t have to fret about the possibility of your belongings being damaged in transit.

Here at Kiwi Storage, we have endeavoured to provide an in-depth level of online information about the differing sizes of our storage units as well as an insight into what stuff — and how much of it — could be fitted into them.

However, we also know that discerning how much student storage space you will actually need can be much easier said than done — especially if you have never previously used any storage services like those available from Kiwi Storage.

While a 9-square-foot locker can provide more than enough storage for students in many instances, you might need a 25-square-foot unit instead if you are seeking to store bulkier items like white goods and flat-packed beds.

You might require something even bigger still if, say, you are living in a small studio flat and will need somewhere to temporarily keep its contents as you relocate from this residence to another one. That’s where a 35-square-foot storage unit from Kiwi Storage can help.

Our Kiwi are sized at 35sqft as standard, offering a solid storage solution perfect for the contents of homes ranging from one-bedroom flats to five-bedroom houses.

If you remain unsure what size of storage unit you ought to choose, don’t hesitate to call us on (+44) 020 8877 9682 or 0800 988 69 55. Also keep in mind that, if you accidentally select the wrong size, you could simply switch to a different one at our storage facility later — even on the moving-in date.
