Who Our Self Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Homeowners use our storage when moving, renovating or simply reclaiming space. Store furniture, seasonal items, sports equipment, family heirlooms and more while you stage your home for sale, complete building work, or downsize at your own pace.
Renters
If your tenancy dates do not quite line up, or you are moving into a furnished property, storage is often the most practical option. Keep your belongings safe between lets, or store bulky items that will not fit in your new place, without giving them up.
Landlords
Landlords in Osidge use our units to hold furniture during refurbishments, store replacement white goods, or keep fixtures safe between tenancies. Reliable professional storage helps you protect your investment and avoid cluttering your own home or office.
Businesses
From sole traders to growing companies, business customers benefit from extra space without the cost of a larger lease. Store stock, files, event equipment, tools, displays or archives. Our storage works especially well alongside commercial removals and office relocation projects.
Students
Students at nearby universities and colleges often need short-term storage over the summer or while on placement. Share a unit with friends to keep costs down, avoid moving everything home and back again, and know your possessions are secure while you are away.
What You Can Store with Us
Our units are suitable for most household and business items, including:
- Furniture and soft furnishings
- Boxes, books and personal belongings
- Clothing, sports kit and hobby equipment
- Office furniture, files and archives
- Stock, merchandise and marketing materials
- Tools, light machinery and trade equipment (subject to conditions)
Items We Cannot Accept
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from storage. You cannot store:
- Perishable goods or food items
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas cylinders, fuels, solvents, fireworks)
- Illegal items or goods obtained unlawfully
- Live animals or plants
- Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents (we recommend a safe deposit facility instead)
- Unregistered or leaking vehicles and machinery
If you are unsure, our professional team will advise what is and is not suitable.
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 a few quick questions, suggest an appropriate unit size and provide a clear, no-obligation price. If you are moving with us, we can build storage into your removals quotation.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger requirements, or if you are unsure on space, we can carry out a simple virtual survey (video call) or, where appropriate, an onsite visit. This helps us recommend the most efficient combination of unit sizes and avoid you paying for unused space.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can provide a packing service through our removals teams. We supply quality boxes, wrapping materials and protective covers. Proper packing reduces the risk of damage in transit and while stacked in storage, especially for fragile or high-value items.
4. Loading & Transport
Bring your belongings to our Osidge facility yourself, or ask about our collection service. Our trained removals crews use appropriate lifting techniques, trolleys and protective equipment. Your goods are loaded, transported and unloaded under our goods in transit insurance cover when using our vehicles.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the facility we will guide you to your unit, help you understand how best to stack items safely, and ensure you know how to lock and access the space. If our removals team is handling everything, they will place boxes and furniture logically so you can easily reach what you are likely to need first.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We keep pricing straightforward and transparent. Costs are typically based on:
- Unit size (cubic feet or metres)
- Duration of storage (short-term or long-term)
- Any additional services (collection, packing, insurance upgrades)
You will receive a clear written confirmation of your weekly or monthly rate, any discounts for longer stays, and notice periods. There are no hidden fees for access during opening hours, and we explain any optional charges up front so you can budget confidently.
Why Use Professional Storage vs DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Using a professional storage and removals company offers several advantages over ad-hoc solutions:
- Purpose-built, secure facility rather than a garage or shed
- Trained staff handling your belongings, not casual labour
- Documented contracts and insurance cover
- Linked removals, packing and storage services for a smoother move
- Proper lifting equipment, trolleys and protection materials
A basic man-and-van may seem cheaper initially, but if items are damaged, poorly stored or inaccessible when you need them, any saving quickly disappears. With Storage Osidge you know exactly where your goods are, how they are protected and who is responsible.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibility for your possessions seriously. Our operations are backed by:
- Goods in transit insurance when our vehicles are used for collection and delivery
- Public liability cover for work on your premises and at our facility
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling furniture, antiques, electronics and business equipment
We follow industry best practice for packing, lifting and stacking items and maintain our premises to a high standard of cleanliness and security.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Our approach is built around care and responsibility. We use high-quality protective materials, clean blankets and covers, and we handle items as if they were our own. Where possible, we prioritise reusable crates, recycled cardboard and responsible disposal of any waste packaging. Efficient route planning for our vehicles also helps reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions.
Common Real-World Use Cases
Moving House with a Gap Between Dates
If you are selling in Osidge but cannot move into your new home straight away, we can pack, collect and store your entire household. When your new property is ready, we deliver everything back, placing furniture and boxes into the correct rooms.
Office Relocation and Business Storage
Businesses often need temporary storage during refurbishments or office moves. We can hold spare desks, filing cabinets, stock and IT equipment while your new space is prepared, ensuring continuity and reducing clutter on site.
Urgent Moves and Emergency Storage
Sometimes circumstances change suddenly: a breakdown in a tenancy, a last-minute completion date, or urgent building works. Where capacity allows, we can arrange same-day or rapid storage, combining collection and secure holding until you have a longer-term plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Osidge cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you require and how long you need it. Smaller units suitable for a few boxes and small items are naturally cheaper than spaces large enough for the contents of a full house or office. We price weekly or monthly, with discounts often available for longer-term storage. Once we understand what you are storing and for how long, we will provide a clear written quotation so you know your exact costs before committing.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where we have availability, we can usually arrange storage at short notice, and in some cases on the same day. This is particularly useful if a move date changes suddenly or you need to clear a property quickly. Contact us as early in the day as possible to discuss your situation. We will check unit availability, explain access times and, if required, coordinate a removals team and vehicle to collect your belongings and bring them into storage safely.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Our operations are supported by goods in transit insurance when we are transporting your items, and by our own facility insurance for the building itself. We will explain the standard level of cover included and any options to increase protection based on the value of your goods. It is important that you declare an accurate value for your belongings. We are always happy to talk through what is covered and how claims would work, so you have complete peace of mind.
What is included in your self storage service?
Our core service includes a clean, dry, secure unit of an appropriate size, use of trolleys on site, monitored access during opening hours and support from our professional staff. Additional services such as packing materials, packing by our removals teams, collection and delivery can be added as required. We outline exactly what is and is not included in your agreement so there are no surprises. You can increase or decrease your space over time, subject to availability, if your needs change.
How is this different from using a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers short-distance transport only, often without proper contracts or insurance. With Storage Osidge you are using a professional removals and storage company, operating from a secure facility with structured procedures, trained staff and clear liability. Your goods are stored in a controlled environment rather than a shed or lock-up, and we can coordinate longer-term storage with your move. This reduces risk of damage, loss and access issues, and provides a much more reliable, accountable service.
How far in advance should I book storage?
If possible, we recommend getting in touch at least one to two weeks before you need storage, especially during busy moving periods such as summer and month-end. This gives us the best chance of offering your ideal unit size and any linked removals services. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we also keep some flexibility for short-notice bookings. Even if you are unsure of exact dates, we can provide provisional options and guidance so you are prepared.
