Karl was very friendly and took the time to explain everything clearly and patiently during my first visit. The facilities are modern, and the fact that everything can be accessed and managed through an app gives me peace of mind about security. Another great advantage is that there’s no need to bring or purchase a separate padlock. Mark, who assisted me during the consultation, also made every effort to accommodate all my needs and requirements.

Chris helped me set up my space. The premises were amazing and so clean, the app was comprehensive and easy to use and I didn’t even need a padlock. They even offered desk / office space as part of the package. Wow.
So impressed with the service.

Tayo is the hero of the day, he stayed late after closing just to give myself and my girlfriend a top class experience that I do not think you could get anywhere else. Despite only being there a few months, he truly went above and beyond to represent the company in a more than perfect way. I can only thank Tayo for his great duty and bless him. The company is lucky to have such an employee. I hope to see him run the place one day.

All of your FAQ’s

Can temporary storage solutions be used for both personal and business purposes?

Absolutely! Short term storage is ideal for everything from house moves and renovations to temporary relocations, university breaks and creating extra space at home. It's also a practical solution during life's more unexpected moments, whether you're downsizing, managing an estate or navigating a major life change.

For businesses, temporary storage offers a flexible way to manage stock, equipment, documents and office moves. It's particularly useful during seasonal peaks, refurbishment projects or periods of growth when you need additional space without the commitment of larger premises. Whatever the reason, our team can help you find the right unit and make the process as smooth as possible.

How do I choose the best temporary storage solution for my needs?

If you're new to self storage, choosing the right unit size and rental period can feel overwhelming. At Attic Self Storage, we're here to make it simple. You can rent a storage unit from as little as a week, with flexible terms that can be tailored to your circumstances.

If you're unsure how long you'll need storage for, it's often better to allow a little extra time. If you move out earlier than expected, you may be eligible for a refund on any unused rent.

To find the right unit size, try our online storage calculator or explore our unit sizes using our virtual tours. You'll be able to see exactly how much space you need before you book.

How much does short term storage cost for two weeks?

Storage costs vary depending on the size of unit you need and the location you choose, but our units start from just £15 per week, meaning two weeks of storage can cost from around £30. We also offer introductory promotions throughout the year, helping you get even better value on short-term storage.

The quickest way to get an accurate price is to request an instant quote online or speak to our team. We'll help you find the right space for your belongings and budget.

What is the difference between short term and long term storage?

The main difference is simply how long you need the space. Short-term storage is designed for temporary situations, such as house moves, renovations, relocations or seasonal business requirements. Long-term storage is better suited to items you need to store for several months or longer.

Your rental renews automatically every month until you give notice, giving you complete flexibility without a lengthy commitment. Whether you're storing for a few weeks or several months, you'll benefit from the same great facilities, security and customer support throughout your stay.
