Why are there no prices on this page yet?

Because the yard is still being built, and quoting a rate we might have to revise would be worse than saying nothing. What we can do is be straight about the mechanics: what makes storage cost what it does in Leeds, what we have already committed to, and how to check that any quote you get — ours or anyone else's — is actually the deal it looks like.

What determines the cost of a storage unit?

Six things move the number, in roughly this order of impact.

1. Size. The single biggest factor. Going from a 10ft to a 20ft roughly doubles your space, and the price moves with it — though rarely in a straight line, since the fixed costs per unit are the same.
2. How long you stay. Longer commitments get better rates almost everywhere. This is where our 12-month founding deal does the most work.
3. Drive-up or indoor. Container storage in a yard is typically cheaper per square foot than a heated unit inside a warehouse, because the building itself is the expensive part.
4. Location. Land near the centre costs more than land on the ring road, so city-fringe sites often price above out-of-town ones. Weigh that against the fuel and time of every visit.
5. Insurance. Sometimes bundled, sometimes a compulsory add-on, sometimes your own contents policy can be extended. It is the most common reason a quote comes in above the headline rate.
6. Fees and deposits. Admin fees, padlock charges, deposits and minimum terms all change the real first-month cost.

What does it cost to store furniture?

Furniture is the most common thing people put into domestic storage, and the easiest to misjudge — it is bulky rather than heavy, so you are paying for the space a wardrobe takes up, not what it weighs. As a rough guide, a 1–2 bed flat's furniture fits a 10ft, a 3-bed house fills a 20ft, and a 4–5 bed house needs a 40ft. The size guide has the full dimensions. Sofas stood on end and beds dismantled save more room than anything else you can do.

Two things push a furniture quote up more than people expect. Insurance is usually priced on declared value, and household furniture adds up faster than it feels like it should — a sofa, a dining set and three bedrooms' worth is easily five figures to replace. And furniture storage during a house move often runs shorter than the minimum term a site will sell you, so check what happens if your completion date slips.

The founding member deals, in plain numbers

Whatever the published rate turns out to be, here is what the two deals actually do to it. Pick whichever suits your situation when we open — you do not choose now.

Both are locked to your registration, not to the date you move in, so registering early costs nothing and loses nothing. The list closes on opening day and standard rates apply after that.

The Leeds price-beat promise

Find a genuine written quote for comparable storage in Leeds or the surrounding area and we will beat it. “Comparable” is doing real work in that sentence, so here is what we mean by it: a similar amount of space, a similar contract length, and similar access. A 20ft drive-up container with 24/7 access against a 20ft drive-up container with 24/7 access is a fair comparison. That same container against a half-size indoor unit on weekday office hours is not.

What we need from you: the quote in writing, dated, naming the size and the term. That is it.

How do you compare storage quotes in Leeds?

Storage is one of those markets where the advertised price and the amount leaving your account can be quite different. Whoever you end up with, ask these:

• Is that price per week or per month, and does it include VAT?
• Is insurance included, compulsory, or can I use my own contents cover?
• Is there an admin or set-up fee? A deposit? A charge for a padlock?
• What is the minimum term, and what notice do I give to leave?
• Is it an introductory rate, and what does it revert to?
• What hours can I actually get in — and is that reception hours or genuine 24/7?
• Do I drive to my door, or trolley through a building?

The last two matter more than people expect. A unit that is £5 a month cheaper but only reachable 9–5 on weekdays is not cheaper if you have to take an afternoon off to use it.

Is cheap self storage in Leeds worth it?

Sometimes, yes — if the cheap option genuinely fits what you are doing. The traps are the ones above: an introductory rate that jumps, compulsory insurance stacked on top, or a site so far out that every visit costs an hour. Cheap storage that you can only reach on a weekday afternoon is not cheap if it costs you half a day's work to load it.

Our position is not that we will have the lowest sticker price in Leeds; it is that we will beat a like-for-like quote and be honest about what “like-for-like” means, which is a more useful promise than a headline rate with conditions under it.
