Islington Self Storage Services

RMV's Islington storage cuts out all of those steps. A secure container arrives at your N1 or N5 address, our crew loads it carefully and we take it to our monitored site. We return the same container, unopened, to any address you choose.

RMV brings more than fifteen years of London removals and storage experience, backed by AIM accreditation. From collection to storage, your things are covered by Goods in Transit and warehouse-keeper liability insurance, inside a site with CCTV, alarms and fencing. Containers sit inside a controlled-access facility with fencing, alarms and 24-hour cameras.

Asking is self-storage worth it? Credentials you can verify matter more than a temporary offer. Find out more about RMV on our About Us page.

What You Pay for Storage in Islington

Each unit is a 155 cm wide, 215 cm deep box, 245 cm tall, holding about 280 cubic feet.

Expect £19.99 a week for one container, £59.97 for three and £119.94 for six. No extras: collection from your N1 or N5 address, dismantling, wrapping, transport and delivery back are part of the rate.

There are no weekend surcharges, no per-visit fees and no rates that double after a promotion. Customers searching for cheap self-storage or affordable self-storage in N1 will find that the total cost undercuts corridor-access units once you add the van hire, fuel, and loading labour those facilities assume you will arrange yourself.

Storage is booked on a rolling monthly basis rather than a fixed contract. No minimum stay applies, and you can cancel at any time: give at least 10 working days' notice, and storage is charged until the notice period ends.

Short gaps between moves and long stays abroad are equally covered.

From One Room to a Whole House

A single container holds the contents of a large bedroom or a studio flat, the format that fills the mansion-block conversions along Holloway Road and the newer flats around Angel and the canal basin. One-bedroom properties generally take two units.

Three cover a standard two-bedroom home, the most common layout in the later Victorian terraces between Highbury Corner and Holloway and the streets off Liverpool Road. Four to six containers absorb the larger Georgian townhouses around Gibson Square and Lonsdale Square and the family homes toward Highbury Fields.

Only the containers you use are charged, small loads and whole houses alike. Our calculator matches rooms and furniture to containers and updates the price in real time.

Storage During an Islington House Move

The Islington property market is one of the most competitive in London, Georgian townhouses on the Barnsbury squares routinely exceed two million pounds, while ex-council flats on the Packington and Bemerton estates change hands for a fraction of that price.

Chains are long, buyers are leveraged, and completions slip. Rental turnover across the borough is equally unpredictable, with tenancy end dates rarely aligning with the start of a new let. Those gaps are where storage helps.

Your home is loaded into containers by our Islington removals team on moving day and delivered when the new property is yours. With house removals with storage in one booking, your belongings never pass between different companies.

Smaller jobs follow the same model. A single room clearing ahead of a kitchen refit in a listed terrace where council planning adds months to a build schedule, furniture removed during a basement conversion, or belongings from a flat that is being staged for sale, our Islington man and van collects, loads, and delivers to the facility in one trip.

Storing between houses is a frequent request, and one provider for both makes it easier. With RMV, removals and storage come from one company, booked with one call.

Who Uses Self-Storage in Islington?

Storage facilities near Islington serve a borough where living space is at a premium and almost no residential property has a garage. Homeowners across N1 and N5 use furniture storage during kitchen upgrades, rewiring projects, and the basement and rear-extension builds that dominate Islington’s conservation areas. Landlords managing rental flats along Upper Street, Essex Road, and the streets around Canonbury rotate furnishings between tenancies.

Student storage London picks up each summer from City, University of London students at the Northampton Square campus and the postgraduate renters across N1 who store between academic years or internship placements.

Business storage units serve the independent boutiques, galleries, and restaurants along Upper Street and Cross Street, as well as the architectural practices, media agencies, and tech firms that occupy converted premises around Clerkenwell and the Angel.

Document storage and archive storage suit the solicitor offices, medical practices, and financial advisers around Barnsbury and Highbury Corner that retain years of physical records under regulatory obligations but operate from period properties with no filing capacity.

Seasonal storage works for any Islington household where garden furniture, pushchairs, bicycles, and sporting equipment compete for hallway space in a Victorian terrace where the original coal cellar is the only built-in storage the property was designed to include.

Vehicle storage suits residents in CPZ-restricted streets who keep a second car or a classic vehicle. Bike storage units serve the cycling commuters heading to Kings Cross or Angel who lack covered parking at home and face persistent theft risk from hallway or communal-area storage.

Garage storage units appeal to trades professionals across N1 who need a secure place for tools and materials without committing to commercial rent in one of London’s most expensive inner boroughs. Every unit is clean, dry and ventilated, with £2,000 insurance included and more on offer.

Packing for Storage

Some preparation keeps stored belongings in the condition they went in. Bag your mattresses, wrap glasses and plates separately and cover upholstery to keep dust off.

Our crew wraps everything as it loads, but you can also book the Islington packing service or get supplies from our Packing Shop delivered to your N1 or N5 address.
