Who Our Self Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are moving house, renovating or decluttering. Store furniture, appliances, boxes of belongings, seasonal items and more while you get your property sorted without tripping over boxes at home.
Renters
If your tenancy dates do not quite line up, or you are moving into a smaller flat, self storage gives you a safe, short-term base for belongings. It is also handy if your landlord will not allow bulky items to stay in the property.
Landlords
Use storage while refurbishing between tenants, replacing furniture in a furnished let, or holding items you may reuse in future. We regularly support landlords around Mitcham with flexible, rolling storage.
Businesses
From online retailers and tradespeople to local offices, self storage is a cost-effective alternative to taking on extra commercial space. Store stock, tools, documents, exhibition materials and archived files in a secure unit without long leases.
Students
Perfect for term-time to holiday transitions. Instead of dragging everything home and back again, keep your possessions in Mitcham in a small unit, knowing they are safe until you return.

How Our Self Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask simple questions about volume, access needs and timing, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote for storage and any optional collection or removal services.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex storage requirements, we can arrange a quick virtual or onsite survey. This helps us recommend the most cost-effective unit size and plan any professional removal support if you would like us to collect items from your home or office.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or use our packing service with high-quality materials supplied. We will advise on the best way to protect items for longer-term storage, including how to label boxes and wrap furniture to minimise damage and make retrieval easier.
4. Loading & Transport
Bring your goods to our Mitcham facility yourself, or let our trained removals team collect them using purpose-built vehicles. We handle loading carefully, using blankets, straps and trolleys to protect both your goods and our building.
5. Unloading & Placement in Your Unit
On arrival, we unload directly into your unit and help you position items sensibly so you can access what you need without emptying the whole space. When you are ready to move out or move items on, we can also provide return transport as a complete, end-to-end service.
Transparent Pricing for Self Storage
We keep pricing simple and open. Your total cost is based on:
- Unit size (in square feet/metres)
- Length of stay (weekly or monthly rolling contracts)
- Any optional services such as collection, packing or insurance upgrades
You will receive a clear quote before you commit, with no hidden admin or exit fees. We can also adjust your unit size if your needs change, so you do not pay for unused space.
Why Use Professional Self Storage Instead of a Shed or Casual Solution
Using a professional self storage company in Mitcham offers several advantages over trying to pile belongings into a shed, garage or borrowed corner of a friend’s home:
- Purpose-built, dry units that reduce the risk of damp and mould
- 24/7 monitored security and controlled access
- Goods in transit and facility insurance options for peace of mind
- Experienced staff who know how to store items safely for the long term
- Flexible access and the ability to upsize or downsize as your needs change
Compared to a casual man-and-van with an unknown lock-up, you gain clear contracts, regulated insurance and trained staff handling your possessions with care.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to high standards, with a strong focus on protecting your belongings at every stage.
Goods in Transit Insurance
If we collect or return your goods using our vehicles, they are covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance, subject to policy limits and terms. This offers reassurance that items are protected during loading, travel and unloading.
Public Liability Cover
Our business is backed by public liability cover, protecting you and your property while we work on-site at your home, office or at our Mitcham facility.
Trained Moving and Storage Teams
All handling is carried out by trained, experienced staff who understand safe lifting, stacking and securing techniques. We use appropriate equipment and protect your items as if they were our own.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We pay attention to the small details that protect your belongings and minimise our impact on the environment.
- Use of reusable blankets, straps and crates where possible
- Encouraging customers to reuse boxes and materials
- Responsible recycling of damaged packing materials
- Efficient vehicle routing to cut unnecessary mileage
- Regular cleaning and maintenance to keep units dry and secure
Our aim is to provide safe storage while operating in a way that is considerate of our community and environment.
Real-World Self Storage Use Cases
Moving House
When completion dates do not line up, or you are downsizing temporarily, self storage bridges the gap. Store full house contents, or just larger items, while you complete your move at a sensible pace.
Office Relocation or Refurbishment
Businesses use our units when relocating, refurbishing or upgrading IT. Desks, chairs, stock, archives and equipment can be held securely so your team can work around building works or phased moves.
Urgent or Short-Notice Needs
Life does not always give much warning. Whether you need to clear a property quickly, separate belongings during a relationship change, or respond to a flooding or damage issue, we can often arrange storage at short notice, subject to availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Mitcham cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need and how long you want it for. Smaller lockers for a few boxes are naturally cheaper than full-size rooms for furniture or business stock. We charge on a weekly or monthly basis with discounts for longer stays. There may be additional charges if you choose optional services such as collection, packing or enhanced insurance. We always provide a clear, itemised quote before you commit, so you know exactly what you are paying for and can choose the most economical option.
Can you provide same-day or urgent self storage?
In many cases we can offer same-day or short-notice storage in Mitcham, depending on current availability and the size of unit required. If you need urgent space, the best step is to call us as early as possible with a quick overview of what you need to store. We will check our live availability, suggest suitable unit sizes and, if required, arrange rapid collection using our professional removals team. While we cannot guarantee same-day every time, we do our best to accommodate urgent situations quickly and safely.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Our facility is covered by appropriate insurance, and if we transport your goods they are protected by goods in transit insurance within policy limits. However, we still recommend that customers have suitable contents cover in place, either through our own insurance options or their existing home or business policy. We will clearly explain what is and is not covered when you book, including any value limits or exclusions. Our aim is that you fully understand your level of protection and can choose the insurance option that best matches the value of your belongings.
What is included in a self storage service?
Our core self storage service includes a secure, clean unit in Mitcham, access during agreed opening hours, monitored security and basic support from our on-site team. You can bring items yourself or add optional services such as professional packing, collection, delivery or packing materials. We also provide trolleys and equipment on-site to help you move items to and from your unit. Any additional costs, such as insurance upgrades or extended access arrangements, will be discussed and agreed in advance so you can tailor the service to your needs.
How is self storage different from using a man-and-van with a lock-up?
With a professional self storage facility like Storage Mitcham, you get a purpose-built, monitored environment with proper contracts, clear insurance terms and trained staff. Casual man-and-van operators using unregulated lock-ups often cannot offer the same level of security, documentation or protection for your belongings. At our Mitcham site, access is controlled, units are dry and regularly checked, and you can visit your belongings during agreed hours. This gives you far more certainty and peace of mind compared to a makeshift arrangement in an unknown building.
How far in advance should I book self storage?
Where possible, we recommend booking at least a week or two in advance, especially if you have fixed moving dates or need a specific unit size. This gives us time to plan, reserve the right space and, if required, coordinate any removals or packing support. However, we know plans can change quickly, so we also accommodate last-minute bookings whenever we have availability. The earlier you contact us with your dates and requirements, the more choice you will have over unit sizes and optional services.
