Professional Self Storage from a Local Removals Expert
Because we run a busy removals operation alongside our storage facility, we know exactly what people need from reliable self storage in St Johns. Easy access, clear pricing, and the reassurance that belongings are properly protected. Our storage is ideal whether you’re storing for a few weeks during a move, or for the long term while you free up valuable space at home or work.
All units are within a secure, monitored site, and we can combine your storage with professional collection and delivery using our removals vehicles and trained teams if needed.
Who Our Self Storage in St Johns Is For
Homeowners
Perfect if you’re decluttering to sell, renovating, or completing a chain where dates don’t quite align. Store furniture, appliances, garden tools, seasonal items and more in a safe, dry unit while you get your property just how you want it.
Renters
If you’re between tenancies, moving into a smaller place, or sharing and short on space, our units are ideal for keeping your personal belongings secure. Flexible terms mean you’re not tied into long contracts while your plans settle.
Landlords
Use our storage for furniture between lets, appliances during refurbishments, or spare fixtures and fittings. It’s an easy way to keep items out of the property but close at hand, without cluttering your own garage or office.
Businesses
From online retailers and trades to professional offices, businesses use our self storage for stock, files, exhibition stands, tools and equipment. It’s a cost-effective alternative to upsizing your premises, with the option of our removals team handling larger loads.
Students
Students in St Johns and nearby areas can avoid hauling everything home each term. Store bedding, books, small furniture and personal items securely between semesters or during a year abroad, with units sized for student budgets.

How Our Self Storage Service Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Get in touch by phone or online and tell us what you need to store, roughly how many boxes or items, and for how long. We’ll recommend a suitable unit size and provide a clear, no-obligation quote, including any optional collection or delivery by our removals team.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex storage needs, we can carry out a quick virtual survey (video or photos) or an onsite visit. This helps ensure you have the right amount of space and, if we’re collecting, that we bring the right vehicle and equipment on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can provide professional packing services and quality materials. Our removals team uses sturdy cartons, furniture covers and protective wrapping to keep everything safe in transit and while in store. Proper packing also makes better use of your unit space.
4. Loading & Transport
Either bring your items to our St Johns facility yourself, or let us handle the heavy lifting. Our trained moving teams carefully load your belongings, secure them in our vehicles and transport them directly into your allocated unit.
5. Unloading, Placement & Access
We stack your unit methodically so frequently used items are accessible towards the front. You’ll receive details of how to access the facility and your unit. When you’re ready to move out or retrieve items, we can either deliver them back to you or you can collect at your convenience.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We keep pricing straightforward so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Unit costs are based on:
- Unit size (from small lockers to larger rooms)
- Length of stay (short or long term)
- Any optional services (collection, delivery, packing, materials)
Your quote will state the weekly or monthly storage rate, any introductory offers, and notice periods. There are no hidden extras for basic access. We’ll talk you through the most cost-effective unit size so you’re not paying for wasted space.
Why Use Professional Self Storage Instead of DIY Options
Storing belongings in a friend’s garage or a cheap lock-up might seem attractive, but it often leads to damp damage, poor security and limited access. Our purpose-built facility in St Johns offers:
- Better security than most private garages or sheds
- Dry, well-maintained units designed for storage
- Flexible terms rather than long informal commitments
- Optional support from an experienced removals team
Compared with a casual man-and-van plus ad-hoc storage, you benefit from fully insured handling, professional standards and clear accountability from a single, established company.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a removals and storage specialist, we take protection seriously. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance when we transport your items to or from our facility
- Public liability cover for your peace of mind while we’re working on your premises
- Trained staff experienced in lifting, packing and storing safely
We’ll discuss insurance options for items while in storage, including any cover you may already have via your own policies. Our team will also advise on best practice to minimise risk, such as correct packing and not overloading boxes.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat stored items with the same care as we do during a full house move. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are covered, and boxes are stacked safely to prevent crushing. Where possible, we use reusable crates, protective blankets and durable materials to cut down on waste.
We encourage customers to reuse boxes, choose recyclable packing materials and avoid unnecessary trips by planning deliveries and collections efficiently. Our aim is to offer a practical storage service in St Johns while keeping our environmental impact as low as is reasonable.
Typical Self Storage Use Cases
Moving House
If your sale and purchase dates don’t quite match, or you’re moving into temporary accommodation, storage bridges the gap. We can move you out, place everything into storage, then deliver to your new home when it’s ready.
Office and Business Relocation
When relocating or refurbishing business premises, storage allows you to decant furniture, IT equipment and files in stages. This keeps your workspace clear and reduces downtime, while our removals team handles the logistics.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes you need to clear a property quickly – an unexpected sale, a sudden tenancy end, or a family situation. In these cases, we can provide rapid collection and storage, giving you time to decide calmly what to keep, sell or donate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does self storage in St Johns cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need and how long you plan to store for. Smaller units suitable for boxes and a few small items are naturally cheaper than larger rooms that take full house contents. We price per week or per month with clear, written quotes, and we’ll always suggest the smallest practical unit to avoid overpaying. Optional services such as collection, delivery and packing are itemised separately so you can choose what you actually need.
Can you provide same-day or urgent self storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage in St Johns, particularly if you’re flexible on unit size. If you also need transport, our removals team will do their best to schedule a vehicle and crew quickly, even outside standard booking windows. The sooner you contact us, the more options we’ll have. We’ll explain availability, any time restrictions for access on the first day, and how to get your items safely into store without rushing.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
When we transport your goods to or from our facility, they’re covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to standard terms. For items while they are in your unit, many customers choose to extend their own home or business cover, or arrange separate storage insurance. We’ll outline the options and any limits clearly before you sign. Regardless of cover, we maintain a secure, well-managed site and follow industry-standard practices to reduce the risk of loss or damage.
What’s included in your self storage service?
Our core service includes a secure, clean unit at our St Johns facility, basic access during agreed opening hours, and support from our team in choosing the right size and layout. You can then add services such as professional packing, supply of boxes and materials, collection from your address, and delivery out of storage when you’re ready. We’ll clearly separate unit rental from any optional extras, so you only pay for the level of help you actually want.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often with minimal protection, limited accountability and no dedicated storage facility. We provide a complete, professional solution: secure purpose-built storage in St Johns, trained crews, appropriate insurances and a clearly documented service. Your goods are handled systematically, recorded as they go into store, and returned in an organised way. You benefit from dealing with one established company for both moving and storage, rather than juggling separate, informal providers.
How far in advance should I book self storage?
For the best choice of unit sizes and move-in dates, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead, especially during busy moving periods such as summer and month-ends. That said, we understand plans can change quickly, so we’ll always try to accommodate late bookings where space allows. As soon as you know you may need storage in St Johns, contact us for a provisional quote. We can then firm up unit size and dates as your situation becomes clearer.
