easyStorage Essex provides the complete storage solution. We offer “Collect, Store, Return” in our bright orange lorries with professional crew who can pack, dismantle, carry, load and pack.
based on 7 reviews"Ed, Clayton and Dan moved us from a pretty big house to a much smaller one - it was complicated and involved a lot of coming and going. They were FANTASTIC. All of them made the process much less stressful than it could have been. Nothing was too much trouble. They took incredible care packing our furniture and pictures into the pods; whatever we threw at them in terms of weight (in one case a whole shed of wood) they just got on with it with a lot of laughter and very hard work. I would thoroughly recommend them and will definitely use them again for any storage or removals. I dont usually write reviews but felt strongly about writing this one. Rosie Smith"

How much does container and self-storage cost in London?
London properties notoriously lack space and come with a high price tag for those wanting more room. Whether you’re moving to the city, hanging around in the capital after University or your business is overflowing with stock, container or self-storage is the answer.
The average cost of a self-storage unit in London is £33.06, according to SSA’s UK Industry Report. London is the most expensive area in the UK for storage units as demand is high. This is a common trend in big cities, the closer you get to the centre, the more expensive prices go.

Container storage in London
When comparing quotes, you will have the option of choosing between self-storage or container storage. Self-storage units of varying sizes are located within a secure building. Container storage consists of large metal containers that are outdoors in remote locations. It's most suitable if you're moving big or heavy items such as vehicles or large furniture.
Container storage is completely safe as the units are only accessed by staff members and clients with active CCTV. Some types of container storage such as pod storage are actually portable, meaning your unit can be delivered straight to your door. This is especially convenient should you be looking to store a vehicle as it can be driven straight into the container.
The cost of container storage will vary depending on your location, but the price is usually based on the size of the container. If you want to visit your container, keep in mind that you may be expected to book an appointment due to its remote location.
Moving house storage in London
The property market in London is made up mainly of small flats, meaning many people are on the hunt for extra space without paying a premium.
Using container or self-storage units is a great way to create space without getting rid of prized possessions. Our data shows that the average customer in London requires between 75 and 100 sq ft of storage space, ideal for the contents of a 2-bed house.
Self-storage is often preferred over container storage when moving house as the units are inside a safe and secure building, protecting even the most fragile items. But container storage does provide movers with larger units.
Putting your items into storage, even if it’s temporary, will help save you money on removal costs. You won't have to rush to make a decision on your furniture either, as the flexibility of storage means you can leave your items for as little as a week, or long-term if needed.

Business storage in London
The City of London alone is home to over 24,000 businesses, with many of those opening up second or even third offices. Whether you’re a long-established business or you’re just setting up a new company and looking for extra space, self-storage for business is an ideal way to save time, money and stress.
Whilst container storage provides you with the most space, most businesses will use self-storage units instead. As the containers are stored in outdoor remote locations, they can be affected by extreme weather conditions. This means a lot of companies prefer self-storage units as they are protected against all weather.
Rest assured, whether you’re storing additional stock, office desks or even private documents, your belongings will be safe and secure with our storage companies. Putting your items into storage offers a flexible and affordable approach to help your business grow.

Student storage in London
London is home to the most universities in any UK city, many of which are world-class. With Imperial College London ranking as the 8th best university in the world, there is a wealth of exciting opportunities for education in the city.
Many students leave their accommodation for weeks at a time during term holidays, unfortunately putting your items at risk. With container or self-storage, you can rest assured knowing your belongings are secure and safe, with access to them at any time. Student storage can be perfect for those moving into halls, storing items between terms or when moving into a new student house.
Self-storage is flexible, offering solutions for single items or whole bedrooms. With many providers offering short and long-term solutions, self-storage can really benefit students in London. Self-storage services will be better suited to students rather than containerised storage as they offer the perfect size units.
