Barnet Self Storage Services

RMV is an AIM-accredited removal and storage company that has operated across North London for over fifteen years. We hold full Goods in Transit and warehouse-keeper liability insurance, and every container sits inside a premises protected by 24-hour CCTV, intruder alarms, and perimeter security fencing.

How Barnet Self-Storage Works

Each self-storage unit measures 155 cm wide, 215 cm deep, and 245 cm tall with roughly 35 square feet of floor space and 280 cubic feet of volume.

That is enough to hold the contents of a large bedroom or a studio flat. For bigger properties, units combine: two containers suit a one-bedroom flat, three handle a standard two-bedroom, and six will absorb the contents of a four- or five-bedroom family home in areas like Arkley, Totteridge, or Lyonsdown. You choose the number of units at the time of booking and only ever pay for the space you actually fill.

The loading itself is handled by our trained crew. They arrive at your EN4 or EN5 address, dismantle beds, wardrobes, and tables where needed, wrap each item in protective blankets, and load the container in a sequence designed to maximise space and minimise handling on return.

Customers who prefer to manage their own loading can drop items at our site free of charge during weekday opening hours. Either way, storage unit rental runs on a rolling monthly basis with no fixed contract, so you are never locked into a term that outlasts your actual need.

Storage During a House Move

Chain delays, exchange gaps, and misaligned completion dates are a routine part of buying and selling property in Barnet. A two-week overlap between selling in Chipping Barnet and completing on a new build in East Barnet can easily stretch to six weeks.

Storage during a house move bridges that gap without forcing you to negotiate temporary lets or impose on family. Our Barnet removals team can load your home directly into containers on moving day, hold everything at the facility for as long as the chain needs, and then deliver to your new address once keys are in hand.

The removal and short-term storage during removal run as a single coordinated job, so your belongings are handled by the same crew throughout.

For smaller moves with a single room of furniture going into storage ahead of renovation work, or the contents of a rented flat between tenancies, our Barnet man and van service collects, loads, and delivers to the storage facility in a single trip. It is a moving and storage service built around the reality that not every Barnet move needs a three-van operation.

Who Uses Self-Storage in Barnet?

Barnet has one of the most varied housing profiles in North London, and the storage needs that come with it are just as varied. Families in detached houses along Galley Lane and Barnet Road use furniture storage while renovating kitchens or loft-converting.

Landlords turning over rental properties in New Barnet and Cockfosters store tenant belongings during refurbishment.

Student storage picks up every summer as Middlesex University students in the Hendon campus clear halls and need somewhere for mattresses, desks, and boxes until September. Flat sharers across EN4 and EN5 rotate seasonal storage with 3 winter coats, cycling equipment, and Christmas decorations swapping in and out through the year.

Business storage units serve a different set of requirements. Sole traders and small firms around the High Street and Stapylton Road keep overflow inventory, trade tools, and exhibition materials in containers rather than paying for commercial floor space they only use part-time.

Document storage and archive storage suit professional practices accountants, solicitors, medical clinics and that must retain physical records under regulatory obligations but cannot justify dedicating office square footage to filing cabinets.

Our containers are dry, ventilated, and insured to £2,000 per unit as standard, with additional cover available for higher-value contents.

Storage Unit Sizes and Self-Storage Prices

Every container is the same physical dimensions, which makes calculating cost straightforward: one unit at £19.99 per week, scaling linearly as you add more.

That transparent pricing model means the total self-storage cost is always predictable with no access fees hidden in small print, no surcharges for weekend collections, no price jumps after an introductory period.

Customers searching for cheap self-storage or affordable self-storage in the Barnet area will find that our per-square-foot rate undercuts most walk-in facilities along the A1 and A1000 corridor, and that rate includes the collection, delivery, crew labour, furniture wrapping, and dismantling that other providers charge separately.

Not sure what size storage unit you need? The free storage calculator on our website lets you enter a room count and an approximate furniture list.

The result maps to a container quantity, and the price updates in real time. If you would rather speak to someone, call 0208 0900 232 and our team will walk through the estimate based on what you are storing.

Packing for Storage

Items going into long term storage need more than a few bin bags and some tape. Mattresses should be bagged to prevent damp absorption; glass and china need individual wrapping; wardrobes store better dismantled flat than standing upright.

Our crew handles all of this as part of the loading service, but customers who want to pack ahead of collection day can order materials from the Packing Shop: boxes, bubble wrap, wardrobe cartons, mattress covers, and tape delivered to any Barnet postcode.

Our blog also carries practical guides on how to pack a storage unit efficiently and what you can store in a storage unit under standard insurance terms.
