Short term storage in London is certainly available, but it can sometimes be difficult to find. Many self-storage facilities insist on longer contracts, or only offer discounts and the best prices when you sign up for longer.

Kiwi Storage is different, offering a huge choice of self-storage, mobile storage and left luggage storage options to suit absolutely all circumstances. Take a unit for as little as a month or a whole year, store just a few boxes or the contents of an entire 4-bedroom house – it’s completely up to you.

Who uses short term storage in London?

There are a huge range of different situations where short term storage can be incredibly useful. Most are commonplace, experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Moving house is possibly the most popular reason for needing a short term storage solution, especially in London.

Perhaps you’re buying a house, but need to move out of your current property and rent for a while until your completion date. If it’s impossible to fit the whole contents of a house into a rented flat, you could make very good use of a self-storage unit.

Similarly, students moving out of halls and (eventually) into second-year rental accommodation may also need a small storage unit for a couple of months over the summer holidays.

• Other common reasons for needing short term storage include:Travelling. If you’re off an adventure and are travelling light, you can make use of our super handy
• left luggage storage service. Drop your stuff off at our conveniently located facility in Wandsworth (not far from Clapham Junction) and then go catch your train, plane or bus. Your belongings will be waiting for you when you get back. This option is also a good one for international tourists and
  business travellers visiting the UK, and don’t want to carry heavy bags around.
• Storing seasonal equipment. Avid skier, kayaker or cross country cyclist? If your hobby is weather dependent, you might need somewhere safe and dry to store bulky equipment during the off season.
• Decorating and renovating. If you’re tackling a DIY project or even a whole-house renovation, the first job will be to clear out each room. If you’ve run out of space, a storage unit can give you somewhere to keep furniture, boxes and other items while you tackle messy work like building,
  plastering and painting.

For extra convenience, consider mobile storage

You might know about or have even used self-storage before, but did you know about mobile storage? It’s a new, ultra-convenient solution for short term storage.

The idea is genius. Instead of you having to load up the car with your stuff – or hire a van if you don’t have a car – the storage unit comes to you.

At Kiwi Storage, we have mobile storage units of all sizes, along with a team of experienced movers. They’re ready to come to your chosen address, pack your stuff and then return the unit to one of our secure facilities.

All you need to do is pick the day and time for collection, and make sure your stuff is all boxed up and ready. When you’re ready, you can arrange for everything to be delivered back to you.

This gives you the flexibility and affordability of self-storage, along with the convenience of what is essentially a parcel collection and delivery service.

What’s the minimum commitment for self-storage?

The whole point of short term storage is that it is low commitment. You don’t want to sign up and pay for 6 months of storage when you’ll be moving your stuff out again in just a month or 6 weeks.

This is why at Kiwi Storage, we make our storage solutions as easy and flexible as possible. The standard minimum storage term is a month, and you can cancel with just a couple of weeks’ notice. Need weekly or even daily storage? Give our team a call on 020 8877 9682 to discuss options.

We’re also flexible on space. You won’t need to pay a fortune for a huge unit you’ll use just a corner of, as we have plenty of small and medium size units available. Our smallest is a 9 sq ft locker, ideal for storing a few boxes or bags (this is a popular option for student storage).
