Short-Term Storage Costs in London

Short-term storage is priced differently from long-term storage due to shorter durations and increased handling.

Costs are influenced by:

• Volume of items stored

• Length of storage

• Collection and delivery requirements

If storage is likely to extend beyond a few months, long-term storage may offer better monthly value.

Short-Term Storage vs Long-Term Storage – Which Is Right?

Short-term storage is designed for uncertain or changing timelines, while long-term storage is suited to stable, planned storage over several months.

Choose short-term storage if:

• Your move dates are not confirmed

• You are renovating and need items out temporarily

• You expect to need your belongings back soon

If you know you will need storage for several months or longer, long-term storage may be more suitable.
