This ever-growing small market town just 15 miles northwest of London has excellent transport links and a thriving business community.

Comprising a mixture of typical UK housing such as Victorian terraces, pre-war semis and modern housing, storage problems can often be an unwelcome feature for many residents and businesses.

Self storage is growing in popularity as a way to solve this issue, with Cinch being a major provider.

Storage Unit Sizes

Self storage in Watford comes in various sizes. It can be hard to visualise what a certain sized unit looks like, so here’s a handy table to help you figure it out:

Ranging from large lockers to warehouse-sized spaces, we can help both domestic and business customers. Trolleys are available for loading or unloading to help when you’re shifting larger quantities or heavier items.

For business use, we also offer serviced offices. This is a perfect solution for those who need to combine office space with storage capacity.

A further option is a drive-up unit, enabling you to pull up directly outside your storage area. It makes storage very quick and convenient without compromising on security or quality.

Storage Costs

Storage costs vary depending on your needs and location, but you’ll typically pay 20-30% less in Watford than you would in Central London.

Factors that determine the cost include:

• The unit size you need
• Where the unit is located – ground floor vs upper floor
• When you need access to your unit – standard hours vs extended hours
• How long you need your unit for
• Whether you take our insurance for the unit

When you’re comparing facilities and making decisions, it’s important to compare like for like:

• Look at storage capacity (square footage) as well as monthly costs.
• Factor in geographical location as well as location within the facility.
• Check the out-of-hours availability.
• Assess how easily you can get to the facility.

Security Peace of Mind

We take security for your possessions as seriously as you do. With self storage in Watford you’ll find:

• Monitored 24/7 CCTV surveillance.
• Individual alarms on each unit.
• Smoke and fire detectors in every unit.
• Personal PIN code access giving customer-only entry. Every access is logged.
• Well-lit premises with perimeter security.

Extended Hours Access

Staff are on site during normal 9-5 business hours. Access outside these times is available via pin-code.

If you know you’ll need to access your storage unit either before or after normal business hours, please speak to the staff beforehand to arrange things.
