At Storage Earls Court we provide secure, flexible self storage for households, businesses, landlords and students across Earls Court and the surrounding London areas. Run by an experienced removals and storage team, our focus is simple: clean, secure units, fair pricing and a straightforward service you can rely on.
Professional Self Storage You Can Rely On
Our self storage facility is designed around the way people in Earls Court actually live and work. Whether you are between moves, renovating, downsizing or simply short of space, we offer a range of unit sizes on flexible terms, all managed by a professional, local team.
Unlike many casual storage options, we combine proper removals know-how with modern storage security. That means good access, sensible loading space, thought-through layouts and the right materials to keep your belongings protected.
Local Storage Expertise in Earls Court
Working in Earls Court and West London for years, we understand the realities of storage in this part of London: tight stairwells, parking restrictions, basement flats and busy move days. Our team knows the local streets, access routes and regulations, which helps us plan your move into storage efficiently and with minimum disruption.
We can also coordinate your storage with our removals services, giving you a smooth door-to-door experience from any address in Earls Court, Kensington, Fulham, Chelsea and wider London.
Who Our Self Storage Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are selling, staging your property, renovating or waiting for your new home to complete. Store furniture, white goods, personal items and seasonal belongings securely while keeping your current property clutter-free and safe for works.
Renters
Perfect for renters changing flats, moving in with a partner or heading abroad for a period. Keep what you want to return to, without paying for a larger rental property just to hold your belongings.
Landlords
Use our units to hold furniture between tenancies, store appliances, or keep replacement items ready for quick turnaround. Self storage gives you flexibility when refurbishing or updating properties.
Businesses
From sole traders to established companies, our storage is suitable for stock, marketing materials, documents, tools and small equipment. A cost-effective alternative to taking on extra office or warehouse space, on fully flexible terms.
Students
Students at Imperial, UCL and other London universities use our storage between terms and during placements. Store books, clothes, small furniture and tech so you do not have to cart everything home and back again.

How Our Storage & Removals Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a brief outline of what you need to store, where you are based and for how long. We will recommend a suitable unit size and provide a clear, itemised quote for storage and any removals support required. No hidden fees and no pressure.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves into storage, we can arrange a virtual video survey or an onsite visit. This lets us assess volumes accurately, plan access, and check any parking or building considerations in Earls Court. From this we can confirm the right unit size and the crew you will need.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or we can provide professional packing services and materials. Our team uses sturdy boxes, wrapping, furniture covers and mattress protectors to ensure your goods are well protected for the duration of storage.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our trained removals crew will arrive on time, protect floors and doorways where required, and carefully load your items. We manage parking and access within Earls Court as far as regulations allow. Your goods are then transported in our vehicles under goods in transit insurance to our storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the facility, we unload and stack your unit sensibly, maximising the space and ensuring heavier items are correctly placed. If you are likely to need access to specific boxes while in storage, we will position them accordingly. When you are ready to move out, we can reverse the process and deliver your belongings to your new address.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We charge based on three main elements: unit size, duration of storage and any optional removals or packing services. You only pay for the space you actually need, and you can usually scale up or down if your requirements change.
All quotes clearly show:
- Monthly storage fee for your chosen unit
- Any collection or delivery charges
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Insurance arrangements and any applicable taxes
There are no surprise charges for access or standard administration. If additional services are requested, we always confirm costs first.
Why Choose Professional Self Storage Over DIY Options
Trying to manage storage yourself using ad-hoc garages, sheds or casual facilities can expose your belongings to damp, theft and inadequate security. With a professional storage provider like Storage Earls Court, you benefit from:
- Purpose-built, clean and dry units designed for long-term storage
- Fully insured transport and storage options
- Trained teams who know how to protect and handle your items properly
- Secure premises with controlled access
- Clear terms, fair notice periods and documented agreements
This is particularly important for valuable household items, sentimental belongings and business stock where loss or damage could be costly.
Insurance & Professional Standards
As an established removals and storage company, we operate to recognised industry standards and carry appropriate cover, including:
- Goods in transit insurance for items we move into or out of storage
- Public liability cover for work on your premises and at our facility
- Optional extended cover for higher-value consignments, if required
Our staff are trained in safe lifting, packing and handling techniques, and we follow clear procedures for inventory, vehicle loading and unit security. If you need documentation for your own insurer or business records, we can provide this on request.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Floors and doorways are protected where required; furniture is wrapped; and boxes are stacked to prevent crushing. In storage, we plan the unit layout to keep items stable and accessible.
We also take a practical approach to sustainability: reusing strong cartons where safe to do so, recycling materials where possible, and planning routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage. It is a sensible, low-waste approach that benefits everyone.
Real-World Self Storage Use Cases
Moving House with a Gap Between Dates
If your completion dates do not line up, we can move you out of your current home in Earls Court, place your belongings in storage for as long as needed, then deliver to your new address once you have the keys. This removes the stress of forced short-term rentals or last-minute arrangements.
Office and Business Relocations
Businesses use our units for files, surplus furniture, seasonal stock and equipment during office moves or refurbishments. We can coordinate directly with your office move plan so downtime is minimised and staff can get back to work quickly.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes things move faster than planned: a quick sale, an unexpected change of tenancy or a job offer abroad. Our team can often arrange rapid collection and short-notice storage, giving you breathing space to decide your next steps without rushing decisions about what to keep or sell.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Earls Court cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size of unit you need and how long you require it for. Smaller units suitable for boxes and a few items of furniture cost less than larger spaces that can hold the contents of a full flat or house. We provide a clear monthly rate with no hidden access charges, plus any collection or delivery fees if you use our removals service. Contact us with a rough list of items and we will recommend the most cost-effective option for your situation.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where availability allows, we can often arrange same-day or very short-notice storage, particularly within Earls Court and nearby areas. The earlier you contact us, the easier it is to secure the right unit size and organise a removals crew if you need collection. For urgent moves, we focus on the essentials first: protecting your belongings, getting them safely into storage and handling paperwork efficiently so you are not held up. Just let us know your timescales and we will confirm what is realistically possible.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them to and from storage. For the period they remain in the unit, we can arrange cover based on a declared value, or you can use your own insurer if they permit it. Our facility also benefits from robust security measures as standard. During your quote, we will explain the insurance options clearly, including any limits and exclusions, so you can choose the level of protection that suits your belongings.
What is included in your self storage service?
At its simplest, our service includes a secure, clean unit in our Earls Court facility with agreed access arrangements and transparent monthly pricing. You can then add optional services such as collection from your property, professional packing, supply of wrapping materials and delivery out of storage at the end. We help you choose the right combination so you only pay for what you genuinely need. Throughout, our local team is on hand to advise on packing, unit size and any access questions.
How is Storage Earls Court different from a man-and-van service?
A casual man-and-van typically offers basic transport only, often without proper insurance, inventory control or secure storage facilities. Storage Earls Court provides a complete, professional service: secure units, documented agreements, fully insured transport options and trained staff who handle your belongings correctly. We plan access, advise on packing, and coordinate the whole process. This reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes and is particularly important for full home contents, business stock or any items you cannot easily replace.
How far in advance should I book self storage?
For the best choice of unit sizes and move dates, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as end-of-month and summer. However, we understand that plans in London often change quickly, so we do our best to accommodate shorter notice whenever possible. If your move date is not fixed yet, we can still discuss options, estimate the unit size and pencil in provisional arrangements so that you are ready to move once your plans are confirmed.
