Moving house can be a complicated and stressful experience, as well as a huge financial investment. It’s vital to think about things like storage and transportation when planning a move.
Often the relocation process isn’t as simple as loading from your old place and unloading directly at your new home. Hiring a self-storage unit is the perfect solution for storing household items for a while. If you need time to refresh your new property before you move in, need to move out earlier than you can move in, or you need to declutter your property before the big day, storage service is all you need! But how much will a storage cell cost per month?

House storage costs per month in the UK
It costs roughly £20 to hire a 250 cubic feet storage container for a week. Approximately the size of a small garden shed, this storage unit is perfect for holding a few household items that will fit into several boxes. A single mattress, an armchair, a dresser, or sports equipment will also fit inside. If you have items you only use occasionally that clutter up your home, this is the perfect storage solution. The total cost of storage will depend on the number of containers and the duration of storage.
The following are a few guidelines for calculating how much storage will cost for 1, 2, and 3-bedroom houses.

Furniture storage costs
The cost of furniture storage is influenced by many factors. Some of them are major and impact the price significantly. Others are minor and may apply only insignificant changes in the price.
What impacts the furniture storage costs the most:
- The volume of furniture
- Furniture disassembly service (when furniture cannot fit in a storage container or takes too much space if stored in assembled condition)
- Period of the storage service
- The number of storage containers required
- Mattress covers (or similar helpful materials)
- Loading and transportation to the storage facility, completed by movers
Ask your removals company if any other things may influence the cost of the storage service you need.
What else may change the price for the storage service a little:
- Discounts
- Additional packing/protection
- Moving abroad with an international removals company
- Man and van service with a Luton van
The average furniture storage cost for a 2-bedroom property, including furniture disassembly, removal service, and storage service for 2 weeks, cost approximately £292.
This storage service price is simply approximate. It may be lower or higher if you reduce/increase the length of the storage period. If you have much more furniture inside your property than the average household, this may further increase the cost of the removal service. The price will be higher if you move everything from the property, not just the furniture.
Furniture storage costs per month
For non-members, the storage service we offer costs £80/month.
For Fantastic Club members, it is approximately £68/month.
This is what you will have to pay for the storage service only (1 container for 1 month). Please, keep in mind that your overall costs will be higher because you’ll have to pay for removal service before the storage.
A team of skilled movers will come to your address and will load and transport all your furniture to the storage facility at a price rate of about £60/h. Upon additional request and if necessary, you can also book furniture disassembly service, starting at £35/h.
What if I need only furniture removals without using a storage unit?
Okay. The experts at Fantastic Removals can help you arrange your furniture pick-up and delivery service in no time, give us a call.
When it comes to the cost of the furniture removal services bear in mind that, again, many different factors can affect the final quote. For example, the length of the job, the complexity of the move, the distance between locations, the size of the van required, and any other services you may choose to avail.
If you are looking to lower the furniture removal cost, here are some tips you may find useful:

Choose only what you want to take with you. Sell or get rid of unwanted furniture and the rest of your belongings before moving day. Pack whatever you can, and only leave what you can’t to the professionals. This will shorten the length of the moving job and lessen the number of movers needed for it. Do not schedule your move during peak season or weekends. Movers usually charge less for the transportation and delivery of your belongings on weekdays and off-peak months. Get additional moving insurance. This will be helpful if something does go wrong during the move. Be on the lookout for free boxes. Choose your van size carefully. Anything too big or too small may end up costing you more. Do not settle for the first mover that you encounter. Compare, compare, compare!

Removals and storage costs
The storage service we offer is completed after movers come and load all of your belongings into moving vans. For this removal service, you have to pay a part of the total for the booking of the storage containers.
Expert movers will disassemble your furniture, if necessary and will load it into the vans for safer and easier transportation to the storage facility.

How much does self-storage cost?
The cost for a self-storage service should be much lower than that of the removals + storage service. After all, you don’t have to pay professionals to load and drive your items to the storage during a change of address. If you do need help with transporting your stuff, however, we can assist you by delivering your items to a self-storage facility.
