At Storage Feltham we provide straightforward, secure student storage for term-time, holidays, placements and gap years.

Who Our Student Storage Service Is For
Although this service is tailored to students, it’s also ideal for a range of local customers in and around Feltham:
- Students leaving halls, house‑shares or private rentals between terms
- Homeowners with children at university who need short‑term storage during moves
- Renters changing accommodation mid‑year or between contracts
- Landlords needing contents stored while refurbishing student lets
- Businesses holding student marketing materials or seasonal equipment
Local Expertise in Feltham
We’re based in the Feltham area and work daily with local halls, student houses and shared accommodation. Our team knows the one‑way systems, parking restrictions and tight staircases that come with student properties.
We regularly serve students moving between Feltham, central London, and nearby universities and colleges. This means fast, reliable collection slots around exam periods and popular move‑out dates, with realistic timings rather than guesswork.
How Our Student Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & quote
Contact us by phone or online with your collection and return dates, addresses and a rough list of what you need to store. We’ll provide a clear, no‑obligation quote based on the volume of goods, access and duration of storage. Prices are explained in plain English with no hidden extras.
2. Survey – virtual or onsite
For most student storage, a quick virtual survey is enough. You can send photos or a short video of your room, or we can run through a checklist with you. For larger loads, we may visit in person. This ensures we send the right size vehicle, number of staff and packing materials on the day.
3. Packing & preparation
You can choose from two options:
- Self-packed storage – you pack your boxes; we supply materials if needed.
- Full packing service – our trained team packs everything for you.
Either way, we provide high‑quality boxes, tape and protective wrap, and we label all items clearly so that redelivery is simple and organised.
4. Loading & transport
On collection day, our professional movers arrive within the agreed time window. We protect doors and stairways where necessary, carefully carry your belongings to the van and load them securely. Everything is inventoried so we know exactly what’s in store, and your goods are then transported directly to our secure storage facility.
5. Unloading & secure storage
At our facility, your items are unloaded carefully into clean, dry storage units. Units are monitored, alarmed and access‑controlled. Your labelled items are stacked safely to prevent crushing or damage, and remain untouched until your agreed redelivery date or until you request them.
6. Redelivery & placement
When you’re ready to move back, let us know your new address and preferred date. We’ll agree a time window, deliver your belongings, and place boxes and furniture into the rooms you specify, not just at the front door.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We understand students need predictable costs. Our pricing is based on:
- Volume of goods (number of boxes and furniture items)
- Length of storage
- Collection and redelivery locations
- Whether you require packing services or materials
You’ll receive a written quote outlining all charges, including collection, storage and redelivery. There are no surprise fees for stairs, evening slots or standard access. Any optional extras – such as packing or extra boxes – are clearly listed so you can decide what suits your budget.
Why Use Professional Storage Feltham Instead of DIY or Man-and-Van?
Trying to manage student storage yourself, or using an informal man‑and‑van, often looks cheaper at first glance but can quickly become more expensive and risky.
- Proper protection – we use blankets, wraps and ties to secure your belongings.
- Fully insured – your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance and our public liability cover.
- Trained staff – our team is trained in safe lifting, packing and loading.
- Secure storage – purpose‑built, monitored facilities, not a random garage or lock‑up.
- Reliable timings – confirmed collection slots, ideal around exams or travel plans.
By using a professional company, you reduce the risk of damage, loss and last‑minute cancellations that can disrupt your move and your studies.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your belongings are protected throughout their journey with us. We provide:
- Goods in transit insurance while your items are being moved to and from storage
- Public liability cover for work in halls, shared houses and private homes
- Trained moving teams following recognised industry practices for handling and packing
We maintain our vehicles regularly, use appropriate lifting equipment and keep detailed inventories. If you have particularly delicate or high‑value items, we’ll discuss suitable packing options and any additional cover you may require.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat student belongings with the same respect as a full house move. Furniture is wrapped, boxes are stacked safely, and fragile items are clearly marked and handled with care.
We also work to minimise waste. Wherever possible we reuse sturdy crates and blankets, encourage responsible recycling of unwanted items, and source packing materials from suppliers with strong environmental credentials. If you wish to donate, sell or recycle certain belongings rather than store them, we can offer practical guidance.
Real‑World Student Storage Use Cases
- Summer holiday storage – clear your room at the end of term, fly home with hand luggage only, and return to your belongings when the new term starts.
- Placement or study abroad – store your essentials safely while you’re away on a placement, internship or exchange programme.
- Moving between rentals – keep your items in secure storage if there’s a gap between tenancies or you’re waiting for a new contract to start.
- Urgent moves – if you need to vacate quickly due to landlord changes, course transfers or personal reasons, we can often arrange fast collection and storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does student storage in Feltham cost?
Costs depend on how much you’re storing, how long for, and whether you need collection and redelivery. As a guide, many students store a few boxes, a bike and some small furniture for the summer at a very manageable monthly rate. We’ll ask for a rough list or photos and then provide a clear, itemised quote with collection, storage and redelivery shown separately. There are no hidden extras, and you only pay for the space and services you actually need.
Can you offer same-day or urgent student storage?
In many cases we can help with same‑day or short‑notice storage, especially outside the busiest changeover weekends. If you need to vacate quickly, contact us as soon as possible with your address, approximate volume and deadline. We’ll check vehicle and crew availability and offer the earliest collection slot we can. Although we can’t guarantee every last‑minute request, our local base in Feltham means we can respond far more quickly than distant providers.
Are my belongings insured while in student storage?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being collected and redelivered, and by our storage cover while in our facility, subject to our terms and conditions. We’ll explain the standard limits in your quote. For particularly valuable items, we may recommend additional cover or that you keep them with you. Our public liability cover also protects you and your building while we’re working on site.
What’s included in your student storage service?
Our standard service includes collection from your room or property, careful loading, secure storage in our Feltham facility, and redelivery to your new address at the end of the agreed period. We can supply boxes and packing materials, and we also offer a full packing service if you prefer us to handle everything. A detailed inventory, basic insurance and placement of items into the correct rooms on redelivery are all part of the service.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man‑and‑van typically offers transport only, often without proper insurance, inventories or secure storage. We provide a complete service: trained staff, protective materials, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover, and monitored storage units. We also confirm timings in advance and keep clear records of what we’re storing for you. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes, and gives you a single responsible company looking after your belongings from start to finish.
How far in advance should I book student storage?
For peak periods, such as end‑of‑term and summer holidays, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance to secure your preferred dates and times. Outside these busy windows, a few days’ notice is often enough. That said, if you find yourself needing storage at short notice, it’s always worth asking – we’ll do our best to fit you in. Early booking also allows time to arrange packing materials and plan around exams or travel.
