Ilford Self Storage Services

In Ilford, our container service removes all of that. We drop a container at your IG1, IG2 or IG3 address, wrap and load everything for you, and move the sealed unit to our facility. Whenever you are ready, your container is delivered to any address.

AIM accredited and in business for over fifteen years, RMV handles removals and storage across London. Full insurance for goods in transit and in our warehouse, plus 24-hour CCTV, intruder alarms and perimeter fencing, keeps everything protected.

Access gates, perimeter fencing, intruder alarms and 24-hour CCTV protect the containers. Verifiable credentials are a better guide than introductory discounts when choosing storage. See our About Us page for the company's history and standards.

Storage Costs for Ilford Homes

Containers are 245 cm high on a 155 cm by 215 cm base, for 280 cubic feet of storage each.

Storage is priced per container at £19.99 weekly, up to £119.94 a week for six.

Included in the price are collection from your IG1, IG2 or IG3 address, crew labour, furniture dismantling, wrapping, transport and return delivery. No introductory discount that resets, no per-visit fees and no weekend premiums.

In IG1, our all-in price usually beats a walk-in depot once you count the van hire, fuel and loading you would otherwise do yourself.

When comparing storage, count the van hire and loading as well as the weekly price.

Pay month to month for storage, with no contract to commit to. Cancel at any time, with no exit fees or minimum stay: give at least 10 working days' notice, and storage is charged until the notice period ends.

It is suited to a short completion gap or to storing for a year or longer overseas.

Picking a Container Count

That is the contents of a studio flat or a large bedroom. Two containers cover a one-bedroom home.

Three cover a standard two- or three-bedroom home, the dominant format in the Edwardian terraces between Cranbrook Road and Perth Road in IG1 and the inter-war semis that fill the streets around Valentines Park and toward Gants Hill in IG2.

Four to six containers absorb the larger detached houses found along Wanstead Park Road and the family homes in Barkingside and Clayhall. Book as few or as many containers as you need, from archive boxes to a full home.

To avoid paying for empty space, the online calculator suggests a container number from your room count.

Storage During an Ilford House Move

Ilford’s property market spans a wide range, from ex-council flats on the Loxford estate to the detached houses along Cranbrook Road and the period villas near Valentines Park, with the Edwardian terraces that line roads like Balfour Road and Khartoum Road forming the borough’s largest housing category.

The Elizabeth line has accelerated turnover in IG1 by cutting travel time to the West End and Canary Wharf, and chains in this market tend to be long. Storage during a house move bridges the gap when completions slip.

On the day you leave, our Ilford removals team loads your home into containers; we deliver to the new place as soon as you get the keys. You book the move and the storage together, handled by the same crew under one insurance policy.

Smaller jobs follow the same model. A single room clearing ahead of a kitchen refit, furniture removed during a bathroom extension, or belongings that will not fit a downsized flat near the High Road, our Ilford man and van collects, loads, and delivers to the facility in one trip.

Storage between houses is one of our most common bookings here, and doing removals and storage together keeps it simple. One call arranges both, so you do not need separate firms for the move and the storage.

Who Uses Self-Storage in Ilford?

Storage facilities near Ilford serve a densely populated borough where Edwardian terraces and inter-war semis were built without garages and where most properties rely on a single rear reception room that doubles as dining space and home office.

Homeowners across IG1 and IG2 use furniture storage during kitchen extensions, loft conversions, and the rear-and-side-return projects that have become the standard renovation across Redbridge. Landlords managing HMO conversions along Ilford Lane and the streets near Seven Kings rotate tenant furnishings between lets.

Student storage London picks up each summer from University of East London students at the Docklands and Stratford campuses who rent in the IG postcodes for affordability and need somewhere to hold belongings during breaks.

Business storage units serve the independent retailers, textile businesses, and food wholesalers along Ilford Lane and the High Road.

Document storage and archive storage suit the solicitor offices, dental surgeries, and accountancy practices clustered around Cranbrook Road and the streets behind the station, premises with limited floor space and years of regulatory records to retain.

Seasonal storage works for any Ilford household where garden tools, children’s equipment, festival decorations, and outdoor furniture compete for the same limited shed or hallway space, a reality in the Edwardian terraces where the only external storage was a small coal bunker in the rear yard.

Vehicle storage suits residents in permit-restricted streets who keep a second car or a vehicle they cannot park outside the property year-round.

Bike storage units serve the cycling commuters heading to Ilford or Manor Park stations who lack covered parking at home and face theft risk from front-garden storage.

Garage storage units appeal to trades professionals across the IG postcodes, electricians, plumbers, and builders who need a secure place for tools and materials without committing to commercial rent on the A12 corridor. Containers are ventilated, dry and clean, and each has £2,000 of cover, extendable for valuables.

Packing for Storage

Items heading into storage for a while need the right protection. Mattresses need sealed covers; glassware and ceramics need individual wrapping; upholstered furniture needs dust sheets.

Prefer to be packed in advance? Book our Ilford packing service; or order materials from the Packing Shop and we deliver them to your IG1, IG2 or IG3 address.

There are packing guides and insurance notes on what you can store on our blog. Cost is important, but protection is what brings your things back undamaged.
