So read on for help finding the cheapest prices for self-storage in Clapham Junction.

Assess your needs and choose the right size unit

Before you can start researching storage options in the Clapham Junction area, it’s worth taking the time to define your needs.

Crucially, you need to know how much storage space you need – and this means taking a thorough inventory of your stuff. This may mean counting boxes or measuring your items, so that you get at least and estimated m2 figure.

Use our handy space estimator tool to find the right sized unit, with options ranging from 5 square foot to 150 square foot at our Kiwi Storage Wandsworth site. There’s a unit for everyone, whether you’re storing just a few boxes or the entire contents of a four-bedroom house.

When it comes to the cost of storage, size really matters. Storage units are usually priced according to size, so you want to get the closest match to the volume of items you’ll be storing. Otherwise, you could end up paying extra for space you don’t use - or you may not be able to fit
everything in.

Tips for making the most of your storage space

The smaller the unit, the cheaper it’ll be. So with this in mind, here are some ways you can shrink down your storage requirements and make the most of the space:

• De-clutter as much as possible, making sure you only store items you absolutely hang on to. Even just getting rid of one box could save you money, as it could mean the difference between unit sizes.
• Pack your stuff and your unit carefully and strategically. This includes techniques like vac-packing items like bedding, storing items inside each other and using shelving to optimise the space.
• Consider sharing a unit with a trusted friend or family member, and then you can halve the
  cost.

Check the small print for extra charges

It’s always worth checking the small print before booking storage space, just in case there are any hidden or extra charges. Some storage companies may charge extra for:

• Insurance
• Accessing your unit outside of standard opening hours
• Quarterly or annual rent increases
• Cancelling your unit or moving out of it early.

Final check – does the unit meet your needs as well as your budget?

So far, we’ve focused on getting you the cheapest prices for storage in Clapham Junction. But cost isn’t the only thing that matters. You should also make sure the storage unit fits your other requirements, particularly in relation to security, access and cleanliness.

Above all, you need to make sure the location is convenient for you. If you live in the area and need to pop in regularly, the site needs to be near a major road or local public transport links.
