Storage Enfield collection with London House Removals team loading sealed storage containers

Need storage in Enfield? Container storage starts at £30 per week (inc VAT), with insurance up to £25,000 included. I run London House Removals and I have been collecting, storing and redelivering belongings across the EN postcodes since 2010.

The big self-storage names want you to rent a van, drive to their yard, and haul your own boxes. That is not how I work. My team collects from your door anywhere in Enfield, seals everything into a tagged container at our secure facility in Rainham, and brings it back when you need it. You never lift a thing. If you would rather have your own keys and visit whenever you like, I also arrange self-storage rooms through Big Yellow.

1st week of storage is FREE with any removal booking. No minimum spend. No catches. Just mention it when you book. The removal is charged normally, your first week of storage costs nothing.

What does storage cost in Enfield?

£30 per week (inc VAT) per 250 cubic foot container. That is the headline number. Insurance up to £25,000 is included in the weekly price. What is not included is collection and delivery, which are priced as a separate removal job. That keeps the storage rate honest and predictable.

How many containers you will need:

What you are storingContainersWeekly cost (inc VAT)
Contents of a 1-bed flat1 to 2£30 to £60
Contents of a 2-bed house2 to 4£60 to £120
Contents of a 3-bed house4 to 6£120 to £180
A few rooms of furniture1£30

These are ballpark figures. I quote properly after a quick video survey or phone call. It takes about 10 to 20 minutes and it is free. Storage is billed in 4-week blocks. If you vacate early, refunds are calculated per full week remaining.

What is included: sealed container storage at our secure facility in Rainham (RM13), and insurance up to £25,000.

What is not included: collection and delivery from your Enfield address (priced as a removal job), packing service if you want us to pack for you, container inspection at £30 (inc VAT), and assisted access at £24 (inc VAT) per hour per person if you ever need to go through your things.

Container storage vs self-storage

There are two ways to store with me. One is hands-off, the other gives you your own keys. The right choice depends on whether you want regular access or set-and-forget security.

If you want to visit your things regularly, self-storage is the better fit. If you want them stored safely and brought back when you are ready, container storage is simpler and usually cheaper once you add up van hire, fuel, and your own time. Either way, your first week is FREE when you book a removal with me.

Self-storage with us comes in two levels:

– Hands-off (we manage it): I arrange the room, move your items in, and hold the keys. You tell me when you want things collected or delivered. If you need to inspect items, I send a mover to accompany you. That is £24 (inc VAT) per hour with a 2-hour minimum, and 8 days notice.

– Hands-on (you keep the keys): We transport and load your items into the room, then hand you the keys. You visit whenever Big Yellow is open. No notice, no mover needed. The Big Yellow branch we use most often is on Advent Way in Edmonton, N18, which sits just south of Enfield and is handy for most EN postcodes.

What fits in a 250 cubic foot container

Each container is 250 cubic feet, roughly 7 cubic metres. Think of it as the size of a large garden shed. One container typically holds:

– A double bed, dismantled, with the mattress

– A three-seater sofa

– A chest of drawers and a bedside table

– 10 to 15 standard moving boxes

– A few lamps, small tables, and odd bits

For box-only storage, one container holds about 30 to 40 standard tea-chest boxes. If you are packing yourself, use double-wall boxes. Single-wall ones buckle under the weight in storage. I sell proper packing materials or can point you to where to get them. My packing service London page has the details if you would rather we did it for you.

How storage in Enfield works

Step 1. Tell me what you need
Call 0207 118 7778 or use the online form. Tell me roughly what you are storing and where in Enfield it is coming from. If you are unsure about quantities, that is fine. We sort it out on the survey.
Step 2. Quick survey, 10 to 20 minutes
A video call or in-person visit. I work out how many containers you need and give you a fixed price for storage plus the collection and delivery. No obligation.
Step 3. We collect and store
On the agreed day my team arrives, loads everything into the van, and takes it to our secure facility in Rainham. Each container is sealed with a unique tag. Your things stay in that container until you need them back. They never get mixed with anyone else’s belongings.
Step 4. We redeliver when you are ready
Give me 7 days notice and I bring your containers to wherever you need them. Your new home, your old one, a different address entirely. First week of storage is on me with any removal.

Parking and access in Enfield

This is where local knowledge matters. Enfield is a mix of suburban houses with their own drives, busy town-centre streets, and the tight terraced roads around Ponders End and Enfield Highway. Collecting from an Enfield address usually means fewer parking headaches than inner London, but the town centre and railway approaches still need planning.

I cover EN1 (Enfield Highway, Bush Hill Park), EN2 (Enfield Town, Chase Side, Forty Hill), and EN3 (Ponders End, Brimsdown, Enfield Lock), plus the surrounding areas. From my base in Walthamstow I am up the A10 or A1010 and at most Enfield doors within 20 to 30 minutes.

What I know about collecting from these streets:

– Enfield is one of the easier London boroughs for removals parking. Many Enfield Town and Bush Hill Park homes have drives or unrestricted residential roads. Where you do need a bay reserved, Enfield Council handles parking suspensions. The resident applies and pays, and I tell you who to contact and what to ask for. The best place to check is the Enfield Council website. Search for “parking suspension” and you will find the application and fees.

– Enfield Town centre around Church Street and the Palace Gardens area has time-limited and permit bays. If you are above a shop or in a flat there, we plan the loading window around the restrictions.

– The older terrace streets around Ponders End and Enfield Lock can be narrow. My crew is used to tight access and brings the right equipment.

– I bring floor coverings and blankets for every collection. Hallways, stairs, and landings are all protected.

If your move has a gap between homes, my house removals London page covers the full removal side of the job, including surveys, crews, and how the day runs.

Frequently asked questions

How much is storage in Enfield?+
£30 per week (inc VAT) per 250 cubic foot container, with insurance up to £25,000 included. Collection from your Enfield address and redelivery are priced as a separate removal job. A 1-bed flat usually fills 1 to 2 containers, so £30 to £60 per week. First week is FREE with any removal.
What Enfield postcodes do you collect from?+
All EN postcodes: EN1 (Enfield Highway, Bush Hill Park), EN2 (Enfield Town, Chase Side, Forty Hill), and EN3 (Ponders End, Brimsdown, Enfield Lock), plus nearby areas such as Palmers Green and Southgate. From my Walthamstow base I am at most Enfield doors within 20 to 30 minutes.
Is collection and delivery included in the £30 a week?+
No. The £30 per week covers storage and insurance only. Collection from your address and redelivery when you need things back are priced as a removal job. Ask for a combined quote so you see the full cost in one place. It keeps the weekly storage rate predictable.
Do you offer self-storage I can visit anytime?+
Yes. As well as my container storage, I arrange self-storage rooms through Big Yellow, usually the Edmonton branch on Advent Way N18, just south of Enfield. With the hands-on option you keep the keys and visit during opening hours with no notice. I transport and load your items in. Prices vary by room size and are quoted by Big Yellow.
How do I get my things back?+
For container storage, give me 7 days notice and tell me where and when you want delivery. I redeliver to your new home, your old address, or a different address entirely. For self-storage where I hold the keys, 8 days notice for delivery. Redelivery is the most common scenario: people store between moves, then send everything to the new place.
Is my stuff insured while it is in storage?+
Yes. Container storage includes insurance up to £25,000 in the weekly price. If you need higher cover, I quote that separately, or you can upgrade to £50,000. For self-storage rooms, insurance is calculated by Big Yellow based on declared value. It is also worth checking whether your home contents policy covers items in storage. Many do, and it can save you money.
What is the minimum storage period?+
There is no minimum term for container storage. You are not locked into anything. Storage is billed in 4-week blocks and refunded per full week if you vacate early. First week is FREE with any removal, no minimum spend.
What should not go in storage?+
No perishable food, live plants, animals, flammable materials such as paint, petrol, chemicals or gas bottles, illegal items, cash, or jewellery. Keep irreplaceable valuables and important documents with you rather than in storage. If you are unsure about something specific, ask me before packing it.
Can you store my things while I am moving house?+
That is the most common reason people call me. You sell your place, the chain delays, and you need somewhere safe for your belongings for a week or three months. I handle the removal and the storage in one job, so you are not coordinating two companies. When the new place is ready, I deliver everything there.
Where is your storage facility?+
My container storage facility is in Rainham, RM13, in Essex. It is a secure site and each container is sealed with a unique tag. Self-storage rooms are arranged through Big Yellow, usually the Edmonton branch on Advent Way N18, which sits just south of Enfield and is the handiest option for most EN postcodes.
How do I get a quote for storage in Enfield?+
Call 0207 118 7778 or fill in the online form. A free 10 to 20 minute survey, either by video call or phone, then a fixed price for storage plus collection and delivery. No obligation. Quote is valid for 28 days.
