Storage in London
On-site storage units for London, delivered by van and built by hand
In London, dense housing, constant refurbishment projects and active commercial environment leave very little spare room. A Door To Store unit arrives flat-packed on a van and is built by hand on your drive, forecourt, yard or site, and it works around limited space and busy schedules. London is about 33.2 road miles from our Luton depot, roughly 56 minutes by van, so the quote adds the mileage beyond 30 miles.
Delivery to London
33.2 miles out, so the quote adds mileage
Every quote starts with the same steel unit and the same two-person team from our depot in Slip End, Luton. What changes from town to town is the transport line, and for London it looks like this.
About 33.2 road miles from Luton, so the quote adds the mileage beyond 30 miles at £2 + VAT per mile each way: roughly £8 + VAT each way for London, once for delivery and once for collection. That figure is an estimate based on the typical road distance to the town centre; the exact amount is worked out from your postcode when you get a quote.
Congestion Charge: addresses inside the central London zone add £15 per visit, so once for delivery and once for collection. The quote checks your full postcode against the zone, not just the district, so it only appears where it genuinely applies.
ULEZ: no charge. Our van is ULEZ compliant, so nothing is added for driving inside the zone to reach London.

Which size
Three sizes that suit London properties
Space is the constraint in London, so we start with the units that fit a parking space and go up from there. Prices exclude VAT and are the same in every town; only the transport line changes.
Fits a parking space
Our smallest unit sits within a single parking space. A room of furniture or a builder's tools and materials.
Quote the 2 × 2 mA room during works
The contents of one or two rooms while a flat is refurbished, or a house move that has not lined up.
Quote the 2 × 4 mSite and contractor storage
A long unit for contractors and commercial premises where the van cannot keep coming back.
Quote the 2 × 8 mWhere we can put it
Drives, gardens, yards and sites
The same rules apply in every town we cover. If the panels can be carried in and the ground is firm, the unit can go there.
- The route in must be free of low branches, narrow gates and tight turns. No cranes, HGVs or HIABs: the panels come through by hand.
- The unit is temporary and not fixed down, so planning permission is not usually needed. Check with the local planning authority for a listed property or a conservation area, or if it is staying long term.
- Not sure your spot will work? Tell us about the access when you enquire and we will confirm it before anything is booked.
How it works
Delivered, assembled, collected
Give us about 7 days' notice, and our team is in London roughly 56 minutes after leaving the depot.

- No cranes, no HGVs, no HIABs
- Minimum 2,150 mm height clearance on the route in
- Weekday installations, Saturdays by appointment
Assembled by hand, on site
Our team builds the unit in the agreed spot on a firm, reasonably level surface. No permanent fixings, and planning permission is not usually needed.
- Driveways, patios, gardens, yards and sites
- Two built-in deadlocks on the door
- Once loaded, the unit stays where it was built
Used, then collected
Keep it for four weeks or a lot longer. When you have finished and the unit is empty, we come back, dismantle it and take it away.
- Give us 7 working days' notice to off-hire

- Nothing left behind on your property
We deliver and assemble the unit. We do not transport or handle your belongings, so you load it at your own pace and keep the keys.

Questions
Questions about storage in London
Is London within the 30-mile delivery band?
No. London is about 33.2 road miles from our depot in Luton, so the quote adds £2 + VAT for every mile beyond 30, each way. For a typical London address that is roughly £8 + VAT for delivery and the same again for collection. The exact figure is worked out from your postcode.
How long does delivery to London take from Luton?
The drive is about 56 minutes (33.2 road miles). We usually need 7 days' notice to book the installation, and can sometimes work at shorter notice subject to availability. Installations run 9 am to 4 pm Monday to Friday, and 9 am to 3 pm on Saturdays by appointment.

Do you charge the Congestion Charge or ULEZ for London?
The Congestion Charge (£15 per visit) is added only where your full postcode falls inside the central zone; it shows on the quote as a separate line for delivery and for collection. There is no ULEZ charge for London: our van is ULEZ compliant, so nothing is added for driving inside the zone.
What does a storage unit cost in London?
Hire starts at £35 + VAT per week for the 2 × 2 m unit, billed every four weeks with a minimum hire of 4 weeks.

Can you install on a London driveway or in a garden?
Yes, in most cases. Driveways are the most common spot, and rear gardens work if there is a route in with at least 2,150 mm of height clearance and a firm, reasonably level surface at the end of it. The unit is built by hand from flat-packed panels, so a side passage or a gate is not a problem. It is temporary and not fixed down, so planning permission is not usually needed.
