Self Storage in New Addington – Secure, Flexible Units for Every Need
At Storage New Addington, we provide straightforward, secure self storage for local households, landlords, students and businesses who need extra space without any hassle. As experienced removals and storage professionals, we understand how stressful clutter, moving dates and lack of space can be, so we’ve designed a service that is practical, well organised and easy to use.
Professional Self Storage with Local New Addington Expertise
We work in and around New Addington every day, supporting home moves, office relocations and long-term storage needs. That means we understand local property sizes, parking challenges and timing pressures. Whether you’re between homes on King Henry’s Drive, renovating a flat near the tram stop, or downsizing a family house, we can recommend the right unit size and access arrangements based on real experience, not guesswork.
Our facility offers clean, dry and secure storage units in a range of sizes, with flexible terms to suit short or long stays. You can bring your own items to us, or combine storage with our professional removals service for a complete, joined-up solution.
Who Our Self Storage in New Addington Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you’re selling, staging your home, renovating or simply reclaiming your garage or loft. Store furniture, seasonal items, sports kit and anything that’s taking over your living space. Our units help keep your property tidy and presentable while you focus on your sale or project.
Renters
Perfect for people between tenancies, relocating for work, or moving into a smaller rental. Avoid rushing a move or parting with furniture you still want. Our flexible agreements mean you only pay for the space and time you actually need.
Landlords
Landlords use our storage to hold furniture between lets, keep replacement appliances, or store tools and maintenance equipment securely away from properties. It’s a simple way to protect your investment and keep void periods smooth and organised.
Businesses
Local businesses rely on our secure units for stock, documents, exhibition materials and equipment. It’s often more cost-effective than expanding into bigger premises, and gives you the flexibility to scale space up and down as your business changes.
Students
Students from New Addington and the wider area store belongings with us between terms, gap years or accommodation changes. Keep books, clothing and electronics safe over the holidays instead of dragging everything back and forth.

How Our Self Storage & Integrated Removals Process Works
You can simply hire a unit and bring things yourself, or you can use our removals teams for a door-to-door service. When we handle the move into storage, our process follows five clear steps:
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask a few straightforward questions and recommend an appropriate unit size. You’ll receive a transparent quote covering storage fees and, if required, our removals and packing services – no hidden extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex jobs, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us assess volume accurately, identify any access issues and plan parking or loading at your New Addington address. It means we turn up with the right-sized vehicle, team and packing materials on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or we can provide professional packing using quality materials. Our trained team carefully wrap fragile items, disassemble furniture where needed and label boxes clearly so everything is easy to find once in storage. We also offer packing materials for customers doing it themselves.
4. Loading & Transport into Storage
On moving day, our professional crew arrive on time, protect floors and doorways, and load your belongings safely. Everything is secured in the vehicle and transported directly to our New Addington storage facility. We place items methodically in your unit, keeping heavier items at the base and fragile boxes protected.
5. Unloading & Placement / Future Redelivery
If we are moving items from your home into storage only, we will stack and arrange the unit so you can access what you’re likely to need first. When you’re ready to move out of storage, we can return and deliver everything to your new address, unloading and placing furniture in the correct rooms.
Transparent Pricing – How Our Self Storage Costs Work
We believe pricing should be straightforward. Our self storage fees are based on:
- Unit size (how much space you need)
- Length of stay (short-term or long-term)
- Any optional services, such as packing, removals or materials
There are no surprise charges for basic access. We explain any optional extras clearly before you commit, so you can budget with confidence. Longer-term storage and combined removals-and-storage bookings may attract discounted rates, which we’ll discuss openly during your quotation.
Why Use Professional Storage & Removals Instead of DIY
Hiring a casual man-and-van or doing everything yourself can seem cheaper, but often leads to damage, delays and stress. Our trained teams handle heavy and awkward items safely, using the correct equipment and protective materials. We know how to pack storage units efficiently so you don’t pay for space you don’t need, and we work to agreed timescales.
With a casual service, you may have little to no protection if something is broken, lost or delayed. With us, you gain proper documentation, fully insured transport and storage, and accountable, experienced professionals overseeing the entire job.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our services are backed by:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they’re being moved between your property and our storage facility.
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property while we are working on-site.
- Trained moving teams – experienced staff who follow clear handling and safety procedures.
Policy details and limits are always available on request, and we’ll advise you if any particularly high-value items require additional cover or a different form of storage.
Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability
Everything we do is built around care and respect for your property. We use furniture blankets, mattress protectors, corner guards and appropriate packing methods to keep items safe in transit and storage. Units are kept clean, dry and well-maintained.
Where possible, we reuse cartons, blankets and timber stillages, and source packing materials responsibly. We plan our routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions. For customers, that means a tidier, less wasteful move and storage experience, without compromising on protection.
Real-World Ways Our New Addington Self Storage Helps
Moving House
Completion dates rarely line up perfectly. Our storage allows you to move out on time, store everything safely, and move into your new home when it’s ready. We handle collection, storage and redelivery so you don’t have to juggle multiple companies.
Office Relocation or Refurbishment
When offices are being refitted, downsized or relocated, secure storage keeps furniture, files and equipment out of the way but close at hand. We can move selected items to storage while leaving essential kit in place so your team can keep working.
Urgent or Last-Minute Situations
Life doesn’t always give much notice – whether it’s a sudden move, a separation, or emergency repairs. Where we have availability, we can arrange fast turnaround storage and transport to help get you out of difficulty quickly and calmly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in New Addington cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need and how long you plan to store for. Smaller units for a few boxes and suitcases are naturally cheaper than spaces for full house contents. We’ll ask what you’re storing and suggest the most economical option, so you’re not paying for empty space. We provide a clear weekly or monthly storage rate, plus any optional removals or packing fees up front, so you can compare options and budget with confidence.
Can you offer same-day or urgent self storage?
Where space and crew schedules allow, we do our best to help with same-day or urgent storage needs. If you call early, we can usually confirm availability quickly and advise whether we can also provide collection that day. In some cases, you might bring items directly to the facility yourself while we arrange removals for larger pieces later. Urgent jobs are handled with the same care and organisation as planned moves, just on a tighter timescale.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and during transport?
Yes. Our services include goods in transit insurance for items we move between your property and our facility, and cover for goods in our care while stored, subject to policy terms and declared values. We also carry public liability cover when working at your home or business address. We’ll explain the level of standard cover included, and where appropriate, discuss any additional insurance you might consider for particularly high-value or specialist items.
What’s included in your self storage and removals service?
As standard, you get a clean, secure storage unit, agreed access hours, and basic account management. If you book removals with us, that also includes a professional team, vehicle, protective blankets and careful loading and unloading. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and redelivery from storage to your new address. We’ll tailor the service to what you actually need, rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all package.
How is this different from a casual man-and-van service?
With a casual man-and-van, you usually get transport only, with limited accountability if something goes wrong. With us, you’re using a professional removals and storage company: trained staff, proper planning, fully insured services, and a secure facility rather than a lock-up or garage. We use the correct equipment, protect your property, and provide documentation for your booking. That reduces the risk of damage, missed timings and disputes, and gives you a clear point of contact throughout.
How far in advance should I book self storage?
Where possible, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you also require our removals team, or you’re moving at peak times such as month-end or school holidays. That said, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where capacity allows. Early contact simply gives you more choice on unit sizes and move dates, and makes the whole process smoother and less stressful.
