Top Moving to Storage related questions

In the UK, most people pay £25–£60 per hour for a Tasker, depending on the size of the job, the vehicle required, and whether packing help is included.

Monthly storage centre costs vary by location and how much space the unit occupies, but on average, you’ll pay £60–£200 a month for a standard unit, with London and other major cities at the higher end.

You can rent a storage unit for as long as you need. Anything from a single week to several years should work. Most facilities offer rolling contracts, giving you flexibility if your plans change.

No, you can’t. Storage units aren’t legally permitted to be used as residential, business, or mailing addresses due to safety and occupancy regulations.

Pros: hassle-free storage, flexible contracts, secure facilities, space for decluttering, and support during removals and storage transitions. Cons: ongoing monthly fees, limited access hours depending on the provider, and restrictions on what you can store.

A good removals service provider will have verified Airtasker profiles, genuine reviews, clear pricing, and transparent communication. Avoid anyone who pressures you for upfront payment, refuses to provide written details, or has no credible online presence.

Most packers and moving services won’t handle hazardous materials, flammable goods, perishable food, chemicals, or anything prohibited under UK transport and safety regulations. Always check with your movers and storage companies before packing day.

What does a moving to storage service include?

A moving to storage service in the UK typically covers everything from packing support and careful loading to safe transport and organising your belongings once they arrive at your chosen self storage facility. 

Whether you’re downsizing, decluttering, or preparing for a relocation, Airtasker connects you with movers who can tailor the service to suit your timeline, budget, and storage requirements. For other moving options, explore Airtasker’s main removals services.

Here’s what’s typically included when booking a moving to storage service on Airtasker:

Packing and preparation for storage

If you need help getting your items ready for storage, you can request packing and preparation support when posting your task. This may include wrapping fragile items, organising boxes by room, disassembling furniture, and labeling cartons so they’re easy to find later. 

If you prefer to prepare everything on your own, your storage removals expert can jump straight to loading. But for many customers, having a helping hand with packing makes a world of difference, especially when moving houses.

Loading your items safely

Once everything’s boxed up, your storage removals expert will handle the heavy lifting. They’ll load your household goods, appliances, furniture, and storage totes into their vehicle with care. Whether you’re moving from one storage unit to another or transporting items from home into a self-storage facility, your Tasker will ensure your belongings are safely placed and evenly secured, so you're stress-free from A to B.

Transport to your storage unit

After loading up, your storage removals expert will transport your items to the storage facility of your choice. They’re familiar with common storage simple site layouts and access rules, which help keep everything running smoothly. They’ll coordinate with you regarding gate codes, unit numbers, and any time restrictions. For those with storage options which are close to home, some man with a van removals experts offer small van or moving truck options to keep costs low.

Unloading and organising your storage unit

Once they arrive, your storage removals expert can unload everything directly into your storage unit. They can also help you organise your items inside the space so you can easily access what you need later. If you’re setting aside seasonal items or storing business inventory, a bit of extra organisation goes a long way. 

Additional services

Depending on the Tasker you choose, you might also get help wrapping furniture, discarding old packing materials, or reorganizing an existing unit. You can also ask for help taking items to donation centres or transporting unwanted goods to a recycling facility. Just specify any add-ons you need when posting your task so your Tasker can plan accordingly.

Wapping, Greater London, E1W

20th Oct 2026

Hello. The lift in our office is currently broken and I need two heavy pieces of furniture carrying up to the second floor. The first set of stairs is a winding staircase which makes it a bit trickier. The units do not have wheels on the bottom either. They are very heavy. The location is in SE1 2NE - I don't know why it says Wapping in the ad. I would like this doing asap. Edit - this is a 2 man job.

Mohammed and his team were SO helpful. They carried two very heavy office storage units up two flights of stairs with no bother. Will definitely be using them again.

I need to move things from a storage unit at SW2 1HF a 6 minute drive to SW12 0LT. We need to reach the final location before 4.30pm. Things include: 2 chests of drawers, boxes, 1 sofa bed, a desk, a chair, a shelving unit — approx half of a Luton van in total I’m guessing the job should take around one hour as it is a very short distance.

Marvin is lovely & very considerate of the items he moves. Would recommend & work with again! — just make sure to schedule arrival time well in advance if there’s a tight deadline :)
