Packaging Material & Storage Boxes
Our comprehensive range of packaging materials has everything you need - all in one place. This includes plastic and cardboard storage boxes, as well as wrapping material, tape, and much more.
We’ve got a range of self storage boxes, including cardboard storage boxes that come in many shapes and sizes, as well as several plastic storage boxes, for a more long-term solution. Our full range of wrapping materials and tapes will protect your things and help to keep them safe in storage. We even have a value range for the cost conscious.
All of our materials are available in our site receptions for you to purchase whenever you need them. If you’re unsure how many you might need, our helpful store team can make a recommendation based on the things you need to store or your unit size.
Our packaging materials are available for anyone to purchase but we do offer additional discounts to our storage customers.
If you give us a call on 020 3627 7574 in advance then we will happily put any packaging materials aside for you to collect later too.

All of your FAQ’s
What is self storage and how does it work?
How much does a storage unit cost?
The price of storage units will largely depend upon the amount of space you require but for some context, our smallest units usually cost around £15 per week to rent out.
How long do I have to stay for?
At Attic Self Storage we usually ask customers to stay for a minimum of a week but you’re free to stay as long as you like and give the notice to move out at any time. We do have a minimum spend of £75. We will bill you monthly and then refund any unused rent when you move out of your unit. Whilst you’re with us you can upsize or downsize your unit or even take another one – it’s all completely within your control.
The terms of the agreement are largely stipulated by our trade body, the SSA UK, and have been agreed with Trading Standards, but if you have any concerns then our team is always on hand to help.
Do I have to sign a long lease?
Absolutely not! You will need to sign a storage license agreement (contract) as part of the check in process but you can stay for as little as one week. The terms of the agreement are largely stipulated by our trade body, the SSA UK and have been agreed with Trading Standards, but if you have any concerns then our teams are always on hand to help.
Do I need to protect my goods while in storage?
We are able to protect your goods with Protection Plan using an arrangement with our industry specialist insurance brokers. With knowledge of the self-storage industry and customer needs, in the unlikely event of loss or damage they handle and process claims quickly and with minimum hassle. We do need to charge for the administration costs of this protection and these charges will be added to your storage costs. You are perfectly welcome to take out your own insurance cover but since it is a requirement of the Self Storage Association UK, we will have to ask for evidence that you have this in place before you can move your things in. Most of our customers do however prefer to use our arrangements as it is the most convenient option.
