Student Storage FAQs

What size storage unit do I need?

It depends on how much you are storing. A few boxes and suitcases need much less space than the contents of a full student bedroom. You can get a rough idea of how much space you need by measuring out your items first or use our space calculator. Don’t worry if you need more or less space, you can change your unit once you have moved in at any time without penalty.

Can I store my belongings just for the summer?

Yes. We provide storage for as little as one month, making our student storage ideal for the gap between university tenancies, particularly if you would otherwise need to take everything home and bring it back again a few weeks later.

Can I book storage before my tenancy ends?

Yes, and booking in advance is usually a good idea if you already know your moving date. End-of-term periods can be busy, so arranging your unit online beforehand gives you one less thing to organise on moving day.

Can I share a storage unit with my housemates?

Yes. If several of you only have a relatively small amount to store, sharing one suitable unit can be convenient and affordable. We recommend clearly labelling every box with the owner’s name before putting anything into storage.

What can I put into a student storage unit?

Typical items include clothes, books, bedding, kitchen equipment, bicycles, TVs, monitors, furniture, suitcases and boxes of personal belongings. Dangerous, illegal, hazardous or perishable items should not be stored. If you are unsure about a particular item, check our storage terms before moving in.

Can I drive right up to my storage unit?

Yes. Our drive-up storage makes loading and unloading easier, as you can park your car or van right next to your storage unit.

Do I need to visit the storage site before booking?

No. You can choose your storage unit and complete your booking online, so there is no need to visit the site beforehand.

Is your storage suitable for students studying in Norwich?

Yes. Our Norfolk location is convenient for students in Norwich who may be studying at the UEA or Norwich University of the Arts who need storage between accommodation, during the summer or while on placement.

What should I do before moving my belongings into storage?

Pack everything into strong boxes, label them clearly and make sure clothing, bedding and other fabrics are completely dry. Keep anything you may need again soon near the front of your unit. Once you know what you are storing, you can choose a suitable unit and book online.
