Who Our Self Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are moving house, renovating or simply reclaiming your loft or garage. Store furniture, boxes, seasonal items and valuables in a safe, accessible unit while you get your home in order.
Renters
If you are between tenancies, house-sharing or moving back home for a time, self storage lets you keep your belongings secure without committing to an oversized rental property.
Landlords
Use our units for part-furnished items, spare furniture, white goods and maintenance equipment. It is an efficient way to manage void periods, refurbishments and changing furniture packages.
Businesses
From sole traders to established companies, we support business storage including document archives, stock, exhibition equipment, tools and office furniture. Our professional team can also coordinate your office removals and storage as a single project.
Students
Students in and around Coombe use our self storage for the summer break or term-time changes. Share a unit with friends to keep costs down and avoid lugging everything back home and then out again.

How Our Self Storage and Removals Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Storage Coombe by phone or online and tell us what you need to store, for how long, and whether you require collection. We will estimate the unit size required and provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering storage fees and any removals services requested.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves or full house contents, we recommend a survey. This can usually be done virtually via video call, or onsite in Coombe if access is complex. The survey helps us confirm the right unit size, number of removal staff and whether special equipment is needed.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can handle packing yourself or use our packing service. Our trained packers use sturdy cartons, wrapping materials and protective covers to safeguard furniture and fragile items. We label boxes carefully, making it easier to locate items later within the unit.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our removals team arrives at your property, protects access routes and carefully loads your belongings into our vehicles. Each load is secured for transit and taken directly to our Coombe storage facility, minimising handling and risk.
5. Unloading & Unit Placement
At the facility, we unload into your allocated storage unit, stacking items to maximise space while keeping important boxes accessible. Furniture is wrapped or covered as needed, and we can provide an inventory list if requested.
Transparent Pricing for Self Storage
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your storage quote will typically include:
- Weekly or monthly unit rental based on size
- Access during our published opening hours
- Optional collection and delivery via our removals team
- Optional packing materials and packing services
- Details of insurance options
Charges depend on unit size, length of stay and optional services. Longer-term clients often benefit from discounted rates, and because we are local to Coombe, our collection prices are competitive. We will always explain your options clearly before you commit.
Why Choose Professional Self Storage over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using a professional storage and removals company offers significant advantages over a DIY approach or an informal man-and-van service:
- Security: Purpose-built, monitored storage beats a garage or shed for safety and dryness.
- Protection: Trained staff use proper handling techniques and materials.
- Insurance: Our goods in transit and facility insurance give meaningful protection.
- Reliability: Booked time slots, written confirmations and clear terms.
- Continuity: One accountable company handling both removals and storage, rather than multiple informal providers.
With Storage Coombe, you know exactly who is responsible for your belongings at every stage.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our duty of care seriously and operate to industry best practice. Our cover and standards include:
- Goods in transit insurance while your belongings are being moved to or from storage
- Public liability cover for work at your property and in our facility
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling fragile and bulky items
- Secure premises with CCTV, access controls and alarm systems
We are happy to discuss insurance levels and, if necessary, arrange extended cover for particularly high-value consignments.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Every item we store is treated as if it were our own. We use protective blankets, mattress covers, sofa covers and specialist packing methods to prevent scuffs, tears and breakages. Our facility is dry, well-ventilated and regularly inspected.
We also take a practical approach to sustainability, including:
- Reusing strong cartons where appropriate
- Offering recyclable packing materials
- Planning efficient collection routes around Coombe to reduce mileage
This careful approach helps protect both your belongings and the environment.
Real-World Self Storage Use Cases
Moving House
If completion dates do not line up, self storage provides a safe holding point for your entire household. We collect from your old property, store for as long as required and deliver when you receive the keys to your new home in or around Coombe.
Office Relocation and Refits
Businesses use our units to hold furniture, files and equipment during office moves or refurbishments. We can phase deliveries to match your fit-out schedule, reducing disruption for your staff and customers.
Urgent or Same-Day Moves into Storage
Sometimes circumstances change quickly: a sudden tenancy end, flood damage, relationship change or urgent declutter before a property sale. Because we are local, we can often arrange same-day or next-day collection into storage, subject to availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in Coombe cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need, how long you plan to store for and whether you require collection and packing. Smaller units suitable for a few boxes and small items are naturally cheaper than larger rooms that take full house contents or business stock. We price weekly or monthly, with discounts sometimes available for longer stays. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us with a list of items or a rough room count, and we will provide a clear, itemised quote.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
In many cases, yes. Because we are based in Coombe and operate our own removals vehicles, we can often react quickly to urgent requests. Same-day or next-day storage is subject to unit and vehicle availability, so it is always worth calling as soon as you know you have an urgent requirement. We will talk through what needs to be moved, suggest a suitable unit size and confirm timings. Even if we cannot do same-day, we will usually be able to offer a very prompt alternative.
What insurance cover do you provide?
We arrange goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being moved between your property and our Coombe storage facility. Our premises are also protected by security measures and appropriate insurance for stored goods, subject to terms and value limits. We will explain the standard cover included, plus any optional top-ups for particularly high-value items or business stock. It is important you declare the approximate value of your goods so we can ensure the cover is sufficient for your needs.
What is included in your self storage service?
At its simplest, our service includes a clean, secure storage unit, access during opening hours and support from our onsite team. Most customers also choose at least some of our additional services, such as collection by our removals team, supply of packing materials or full packing. We can inventory items on request and advise on how best to stack and protect belongings. Your quote will clearly state what is included so you can decide whether to add or remove any optional services.
How is professional storage different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van might be suitable for very small, low-value moves, but it rarely offers the safeguards that a professional operator provides. With Storage Coombe you get trained staff, proper insurance, secure and purpose-built storage, documented bookings and clear terms and conditions. Our vehicles carry protective equipment and our facility is monitored and controlled. In contrast, informal services may lack adequate cover, continuity and accountability if problems arise, which can be risky when you are trusting someone with your belongings.
How far in advance should I book?
For planned moves, we recommend booking storage and removals at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as month-ends and summer. This gives us time to schedule vehicles, staff and ensure the right unit size is reserved for you. However, we understand that life does not always run to plan, so we keep some flexibility for short-notice bookings. Even if you need storage at very short notice, contact us and we will do our best to accommodate you.
