Personal storage at Safestore is designed for individuals and households who need extra space for their belongings, either short term or long term. Whether you are moving home, renovating, downsizing, or dealing with a change in circumstances, personal storage gives you secure, accessible space without committing to more space than you need.

Our personal storage units are available in a wide range of sizes, making it easy to store anything from a few boxes to larger household items like furniture or appliances. With locations across the UK, including secure London storage facilities, you can find a store that fits naturally into your daily routine.

Flexible storage that fits your plans

Everyone uses storage differently, which is why personal storage is suitable for a wide range of situations. You might need short term storage while waiting for a house move to complete, or longer term storage to free up space at home. Students often use storage between terms, while others use it to store furniture, seasonal items, or belongings they are not ready to part with.

We keep things simple with clear contracts and transparent pricing, so you can choose the option that works for you. If you are weighing up your options, you can compare storage unit prices across our locations to find the right balance of size, location, and cost.

Getting started is straightforward

Getting started with personal storage is easy. Choose a store, select a unit size, and move in at a time that suits you. Many of our stores also stock essential moving supplies, so you can pick up storage boxes and packaging at the same time, saving you an extra trip elsewhere.

Our stores are designed with convenience and security in mind, giving you confidence that your belongings are well protected and easy to access when you need them.

Personal storage for different life situations

Personal storage is often used during key life moments. Students frequently rely on affordable university storage during holidays or placements, while families use storage during renovations or when helping a loved one downsize. Others simply want extra breathing space at home without making permanent changes.

Whatever your reason, personal storage provides flexibility and reassurance during times of change.

  • I had a really ...

    I had a really great experience with this Safestore branch. The whole process was easy from start to finish. Big thank you to Samir, Leila, and Ranj, they are all super helpful, friendly, and take the time to explain everything properly, which I really appreciate!! They made what could’ve been a stressful situation feel simple and straightforward. The storage facility itself is clean, secure, and well organised. I felt really looked after and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Safestore to anyone looking for self-storage!!

  • I am so grateful ...

    I am so grateful to Ranj from Safestore for all his hard work in helping with my storage needs. I had spoken to many other companies on the same road offering similar services but Ranj outshined them all with his exceptional customer service skills and cheerful nature. It was a personable service from start to finish. I appreciate him going above and beyond to get me sorted very quickly. Thank you Ranj. I highly recommend Safestore Wandsworth.
