At Storage Biggin Hill, we provide secure, flexible self storage for homes and businesses in and around Biggin Hill. As established local removals and storage professionals, we understand exactly what you need when space is tight, you are between properties, or you simply want your belongings somewhere safe, dry and accessible.
Professional Self Storage You Can Rely On
Our self storage facility in Biggin Hill is designed for people who want simple, straightforward storage with professional standards. Whether you are storing a few boxes or the full contents of a house, you get clean units, clear pricing and help from a team that moves and protects customers’ belongings every day.
We combine our removals expertise with purpose-built storage so your goods are handled correctly from door to store and back again. You can bring your own items to us, or we can collect, load, transport and place them into your unit for you.
Who Our Self Storage in Biggin Hill Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are decluttering before a sale, renovating, or between homes. Store furniture, white goods, seasonal items and family possessions securely while you get your property sorted.
Renters
Perfect if you are moving between rentals, house-sharing, or need to downsize without parting with your belongings. Flexible terms mean you are not tied into long contracts.
Landlords
Use our units to store furniture and appliances between tenancies, keep replacement items ready, or hold staged furnishings safely. It helps keep your properties clear, tidy and ready to let.
Businesses
Our storage is popular with local trades, online retailers and offices. Store tools, stock, marketing materials, archived files or spare furniture in a secure unit rather than filling valuable office space.
Students
If you are heading home for the holidays or on a placement, keep your belongings safe in Biggin Hill instead of hauling everything back and forth. Share a unit with friends to keep costs down.

How Our Self Storage Service Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We will recommend an appropriate unit size and provide a clear, no-obligation price based on space, duration and any additional services such as collection or packing.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex storage requirements, we can carry out a quick virtual or onsite survey. This ensures the unit size is right first time and allows us to plan any removals or transport support if you prefer us to do the heavy lifting.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your items yourself or use our professional packing service. If we pack, we use quality cartons and materials, wrapping fragile items carefully to minimise risk in transit and while stored. We label everything clearly so it is easy to find when you need it again.
4. Loading & Transport
Bring your belongings to our Biggin Hill facility in your own vehicle, or ask us to collect them using our removal vans and trained team. We load systematically, using protective blankets, straps and covers where needed, keeping furniture and boxes secure throughout the journey.
5. Unloading & Placement in Your Unit
On arrival, items are unloaded carefully and placed logically within your unit, with heavier items at the base and walkways where possible. If we are handling the move, we can create an inventory on request, helping you keep track of what is stored and where.
Transparent, Straightforward Pricing
We keep our pricing simple and transparent. Your cost is based on:
- Unit size (how much space you need)
- Length of stay (short or long-term storage)
- Any optional services (collection, packing, packing materials)
There are no hidden extras. We confirm everything in writing before you commit, so you know exactly what you are paying and what is included. Longer-term customers may benefit from reduced rates; we are happy to discuss options that suit your budget.
Why Use Professional Self Storage Instead of a Casual Option?
Choosing a fully managed facility like Storage Biggin Hill gives you far more protection and convenience than a casual lock-up or ad-hoc arrangement. Our site is monitored, access controlled and managed by an experienced professional team used to handling people’s possessions responsibly.
With us, you know your items are stored indoors, off the ground, in appropriate conditions – not in a damp garage or unsecured outbuilding. We offer optional collection by trained movers, so you avoid injury, vehicle damage or the risk of belongings being loaded badly by an inexperienced man-and-van operator.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a removals and storage company, we work to clear procedures and standards. Our operation is set up to protect you and your belongings at every step.
- Goods in transit insurance when we collect and deliver your items
- Public liability cover for work carried out on your premises
- Trained moving teams used to handling furniture, fragile items and awkward loads
We will explain the scope of cover, what is included as standard and any optional additional cover where appropriate. You remain responsible for insuring the contents of your unit, and many customers extend their household or business policy; we can guide you on what to ask your insurer.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat stored goods with the same care we give during a house move. Furniture is protected with blankets or covers during handling, and we encourage the use of sturdy, reusable crates and strong boxes.
Where possible, we source recyclable packing materials and re-use cartons in good condition. We minimise unnecessary journeys by planning collections efficiently around Biggin Hill and the surrounding areas, helping to reduce emissions while still providing a responsive service.
Common Real-World Uses for Our Biggin Hill Self Storage
Moving House
If your purchase and sale do not line up, or you are moving into temporary accommodation, self storage bridges the gap. We can move the bulk of your belongings into storage, leaving just what you need day-to-day, and then deliver from the unit straight to your new property when you get the keys.
Office and Business Relocations
Businesses use our units to stage office moves, store surplus furniture or hold archived documents offsite. Storing with us allows you to keep your new space clear and only bring items back in when needed, reducing disruption and downtime.
Urgent or Short-Notice Situations
Sometimes storage is needed at short notice – a property chain collapses, a refurbishment overruns, or circumstances change unexpectedly. Because we operate both removals and self storage locally, we can usually respond quickly, providing temporary space and the vehicles and staff to move your items safely.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Biggin Hill cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need and for how long. Smaller units suitable for boxes and a few bits of furniture are less expensive, while larger units for full house contents naturally cost more. We charge monthly, with clear rates for each unit size and no hidden fees. Optional services such as collection, packing and packing materials are priced separately, so you only pay for what you actually use. Contact us with a list of items or rough volume and we will provide a tailored quotation.
Do you offer same-day or urgent self storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or very short-notice storage for Biggin Hill customers, particularly if you are flexible on unit size. If you can bring items to us, we will allocate a unit and complete paperwork on arrival. If you also need collection, we will do our best to schedule a van and team quickly, though this depends on existing bookings. Call us as soon as you know you need urgent storage so we can confirm availability and options straight away.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
When we collect and transport your items to or from the facility, they are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to our terms and conditions. While in storage, responsibility for insuring the contents normally sits with you as the customer. Many people extend their household or business policy to cover goods stored away from home. We will explain the values involved and can provide a schedule of items if we have packed and inventoried them. We strongly recommend ensuring you have adequate cover in place for the full replacement value.
What is included in your self storage service?
At its simplest, you get a clean, secure storage unit in Biggin Hill, access during agreed hours, and support from our on-site team. Beyond that, you can add services to suit your needs: professional collection and delivery by our removals vehicles, packing services, supply of boxes and materials, and help planning how best to use the space in your unit. We are also happy to advise on what can and cannot be stored, the best way to pack fragile items, and how to organise your unit so you can reach the things you need most easily.
How is self storage different from using a man-and-van?
A man-and-van service usually provides only transport from A to B, with no long-term storage, limited accountability and varying levels of protection. Our self storage gives you secure, monitored space in a professionally managed facility, with proper contracts, clear terms and support from trained staff. If we handle the move as well, your items are loaded correctly, protected in transit, covered by appropriate insurance and placed carefully into your unit. You remain in control of the space, with the reassurance that your belongings are stored in suitable conditions rather than a makeshift lock-up.
How far in advance should I book self storage?
If you know your dates, it is wise to reserve a unit as soon as possible, especially during busy periods such as summer or month-end when moves are common. Booking early guarantees the right size of unit and allows time to plan packing and collection properly. However, we understand that plans can change, so we stay flexible and will always try to accommodate last-minute requests where we have availability. A quick call or message with your rough timings and volume is enough for us to hold space and talk you through the next steps.
