It&#8217;s vital to think about things like storage and transportation when planning a move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Often the relocation process isn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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, a storage unit is all you need. But how much will it cost per month?<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"background-color:#e6e6e6; padding:20px; margin:20px 0;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight:bold; margin-top:0;\">TL;DR<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-bottom:0;\">\n<li>Self-storage in the UK costs roughly \u00a360\u2013\u00a3160 per month for a unit sized 4.6m\u00b2\u201319m\u00b2, depending on location and unit size.<\/li>\n<li>A 1-bedroom home typically needs 3 storage containers (around 20m\u00b3); a 2-bedroom home needs 5 (36m\u00b3); a 3-bedroom home needs 7 (57m\u00b3).<\/li>\n<li>A managed storage service from a removals company includes collection and transportation, self-storage does not, making it cheaper on paper but more hands-on for you.<\/li>\n<li>Central London self-storage costs at least three times more than outer-London rates.<\/li>\n<li>Fantastic Club members pay around \u00a368\/month per storage container; non-members pay around \u00a380\/month.<\/li>\n<li>Caravan and furniture storage costs are

1-bedroom home, rising to \u00a350\u2013\u00a370+ per week for a larger unit needed for a 3-bedroom property. The total you pay depends on the number of containers required and how long you need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It costs roughly \u00a320 to hire a 250 cubic feet (\u22487m\u00b3) storage container for a week. Approximately the size of a small garden shed, this storage unit is perfect for holding a few household <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-pack-fragile-items-moving\/\">items that will fit into several boxes<\/a>. A single mattress, an armchair, a dresser, or sports equipment will also fit inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have items you only use occasionally that clutter up your home, this is the perfect storage solution. The total storage costs will depend on the number of containers and the duration of storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following are a few guidelines for calculating how much storage will cost for 1, 2, and 3-bedroom houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-bedroom_house_storage_costs\"><\/span>1-bedroom house storage costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Size of the house<\/strong><\/td><td>1-bedroom<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>The average volume of items<\/strong><\/td><td>20m\u00b3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Storage containers required<\/strong><\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Furniture covers costs<\/strong><\/td><td>\u00a320 per container<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Storage service cost per week<\/strong><\/td><td>\u00a321 for club members (per container, per week, multiply by the number of containers required)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-bedroom_house_storage_costs\"><\/span>2-bedroom house storage costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Size of the house<\/strong><\/td><td>2-bedroom<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>The average volume of items<\/strong><\/td><td>36m\u00b3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Storage containers required<\/strong><\/td><td>5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Furniture covers costs<\/strong><\/td><td>\u00a320 per container<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Storage service cost per week<\/strong><\/td><td>\u00a321 for club members (per container, per week, multiply by the number of containers required)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-bedroom_house_storage_costs\"><\/span>3-bedroom house storage costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Size of the house<\/strong><\/td><td>3-bedroom<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>The average volume of items<\/strong><\/td><td>57m\u00b3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Storage containers required<\/strong><\/td><td>7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Furniture covers costs<\/strong><\/td><td>\u00a320 per container<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Storage service cost per week<\/strong><\/td><td>\u00a321 for club members (per container, per week, multiply by the number of containers required)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"cta_container_holder obf\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"title\">Calculate your storage costs!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-title\">Enter your postcode to view our rates and availability in your area.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"postcode-field-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dynamic-helper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<form id=\"check-prices-form\" class=\"default-check-price-form\" action=\"\">\n\t                            <span class=\"the-postfield-wrap\">\n\t                                <input id=\"postcode-field\" type=\"text\" class=\"the-postfield\"  name=\"postcode-field\" data-default-service-category=\"\"\ndata-default-service-type=\"\">\n\t                                <div class=\"typewriter-box\">\n\t                                    <span class=\"typewriter\"><\/span>\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t                                 <span class=\"moving-label\">Enter your postcode<\/span>\n\t                                <label for=\"postcode-field\" class=\"error-message\">Add a valid postcode e.g. SE1 2TH<\/label>\n\t                            <\/span>\n\t                            <span class=\"submit-wrapper-with-loader active\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"load-holder-lds-eclipse\">\n                                            <div class=\"load-lds-eclipse\"><\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n\t                                <input id=\"check-prices-submit\" name=\"check-prices-submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Check Prices & Availability\" rel=\"nofollow\" disabled>\n\t                            <\/span>\n\t                        <\/form>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info_text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For questions about the services we offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/\">visit our main site<\/a> or you can always call us at <a href=\"tel:\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Furniture_storage_costs\"><\/span>Furniture storage costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furniture storage costs in the UK depend mainly on volume, duration, and whether disassembly or collection is required.

In Central London, expect to pay at least three times more than outer-London rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cost for a self-storage service should be much lower than that of the removals and storage service.

Outdoor storage on an open site is the most affordable option, typically costing \u00a315\u2013\u00a340 per month. Covered storage under a canopy or barn roof sits in the mid-range at around \u00a340\u2013\u00a380 per month, while fully indoor, climate-controlled storage can reach \u00a380\u2013\u00a3150 per month or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Location plays a big role, just as it does with household storage costs. Facilities in or near major cities tend to charge a significant premium over those in rural areas. If you only need to store your caravan seasonally, many sites offer short-term or flexible monthly contracts rather than locking you into a full year, which can keep the overall cost down. Always check whether the site is CaSSOA-accredited, as this is the recognised quality and security standard for caravan storage in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Storage costs vary widely depending on unit size, how long you need it, and where you&#8217;re based, a small outer-London self-storage unit and a managed service for a 3-bedroom London home sit at opposite ends of the price scale. The most practical takeaway: if you need help moving as well as storing, getting a combined quote for removals and storage together almost always saves money compared to booking them separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the calculator above to get an accurate figure for your situation, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/storage\/\">request a storage quote<\/a> directly and we&#8217;ll work out the right solution for your move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Understanding storage costs is one of the key financial decisions when planning a house move.
