Self-storage units come in a range of sizes and are located inside buildings owned by the storage company. Container storage has large metal containers you can rent that are located outdoors in remote compounds and warehouses. Whilst this can make them more susceptible to extreme weather, the containers are ideal for moving large or heavy items. These are the two storage types you can choose from when comparing quotes with Compare My Move.
Container storage is very secure as the units can only be accessed by verified staff members and clients. Despite being stored outside, the containers are very sturdy, clean and constantly monitored. All of our storage partners use active CCTV as well as state-of-the-art fire/theft alarms and security systems.
The cost of container storage will mostly depend on the size of the container and its location. Whilst cheaper than self-storage, it can be seen as less flexible as you may need to book appointments in advance when visiting the facility.
At Compare My Move, we understand the challenges that moving house can present, which is why we set out to make the processes easier. When moving house, you may find yourself needing somewhere to store your belongings in the interim. Whether there is a delay in the chain, you sell your house before buying another or you’re waiting to move into a new build, container and self-storage options can be a huge benefit.
Additionally, with space across London costing a premium and flats and homes typically smaller than many other parts of the country, additional storage space can be essential. Rather than getting rid of cherished items, self-storage units and containers allow you to store them securely until you need access to them.
West London is home to over 100,000 businesses ranging from small and medium enterprises to global brands, according to Capital West London. Furthermore, West London has a higher proportion of start-ups and micro-businesses than the rest of the capital.
Storage facilities can be essential for those with a business, especially in London where office space can be limited and often expensive. Be it for overflow of stock, storing office supplies and equipment or essential paperwork, a storage unit can save both time and money for your business.
Many self-storage units can be accessed 24/7 across West London, making it convenient for collecting items and storing additional supplies whenever you need to. So whether you are an established business or just starting out, this flexible approach for storage can be a huge asset to your business, in addition to keeping your items safe and secure. If you need to store larger items, container storage is the better option for your business.

West London has a healthy student population, with the University of West London ranking 34th in the country in September 2020. Whether you are moving within West London for University or across the city, country or even internationally, container or self-storage can be essential for many students. This is especially the case for those in dorm rooms, house shares or small student flats where space is limited.
Having the option of a storage unit offers flexible solutions for students who need to store items either during term time, during holidays and between accommodation. I can also be hugely beneficial to those studying abroad as part of their course. Many storage companies will offer deals and special rates for students so it is worth discussing your options directly with self storage companies to get the best option for you.
