If you’re currently using self storage in London, there’s a good chance you could be paying more than you need to.

Many people stay with the same storage provider for years without reviewing their costs, even though prices increase and storage needs change. Switching storage company can significantly reduce your monthly bill — especially if you choose a provider that offers collection, flexible sizing, and transparent pricing.

Is Your Storage Unit the Right Size?

One of the most common reasons customers overpay for storage is unused space.

If your unit is half empty, you’re likely paying for space you don’t need. If it’s packed so tightly that access is difficult, you may be using the space inefficiently.

Switching storage is the ideal time to reassess:

  • What items you still actually need
  • What can be sold, donated, or disposed of
  • What unit size best fits your current situation

You can use our Storage Space Calculator to quickly estimate the right unit size and avoid overpaying.

Storage Should Fit Around Your Life

Not all storage companies offer the same level of convenience. Before switching, it’s worth considering what matters most to you:

  • Convenience – Do you want to avoid travelling to a storage unit?
  • Flexibility – Can you easily upsize or downsize if your needs change?
  • Security – Are your items protected with CCTV and controlled access?
  • Access – Can you arrange collection and delivery when it suits you?

At I Like To Move It Move It, we specialise in click & collect storage, meaning we collect your items, store them securely, and return them when needed, saving you time, effort, and transport costs.
