Quick answer
How much does secure storage cost in London?
There are three parts: collection, the storage itself and the return trip.
More about this service
Collection and return use our hourly van-and-crew rates. A Small Transit with a driver is £55 an hour with a 2-hour minimum, so from £110. Storage is through a partner facility and costs about £250–£350 a month for a one-bedroom flat's contents, VAT included, with the first month paid upfront.
It works best when everything is wrapped, labelled and listed before it leaves your home. That way the right boxes come back first.
Giga Removals moves homes and businesses across the UK from a London base.

Where we operate
Secure storage collection across London
We collect from all over London, including Ilford, Stratford, Croydon, Hackney, Islington and West London, and we deliver across the UK. See all areas.
Renovations, tenancy gaps, downsizing and student summers. Each needs a clear return date.
Labelled boxes and a photo list make a staged return easy when only some rooms are ready.
Tip
Photograph serial numbers on appliances before we collect them. It makes checking them back in simple.
Label each box by room and mark anything fragile, oversized or needed first. We use that to plan the collection and the return.
