About Self Storage Kingston upon Thames
Our Story in Kingston upon Thames
Self Storage Kingston upon Thames was founded with a simple aim: to provide safe, flexible and genuinely local self storage and removal services to the communities along the Thames. Starting with a small facility close to Kingston town centre, our company has grown steadily over the years, supporting residents and businesses from Surbiton to Norbiton, and from Kingston Hill to Canbury.
Our roots are firmly in Kingston upon Thames. Many of our earliest customers came from the streets around Richmond Road, Kingston Road and the neighbourhoods close to Kingston University. Over time, word spread across Berrylands, Ham, New Malden and Teddington that there was a dependable, well-run self storage option in the area, backed up by a reliable removal company service. Today, we serve customers from all parts of the Royal Borough, including those living near Richmond Park, Bushy Park and the riverside by Kingston Bridge.
Years of Experience You Can Trust
We have been proudly operating in the Kingston upon Thames area for many years, refining our approach to self storage and local removals with every move, every box and every customer. This long-standing presence gives us a deep understanding of the area’s streets, estates and traffic patterns, from navigating the busy Kingston one-way system to carefully planning removals around the Bentall Centre and the Ancient Market Place.
In that time, we have supported students storing their belongings between tenancies, families moving between homes on Portsmouth Road or Kingston Hill, and businesses relocating around Fairfield, Norbiton and Surbiton. Our experience is not just in storage and transport; it is in making every stage of your move and storage as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Fully Licensed and Environment Agency Compliant
Self Storage Kingston upon Thames operates as a properly licensed business, including registration with the Environment Agency for waste handling and disposal activities associated with our removal company services. This means we are authorised to manage and transport waste items that can arise from house moves, clearances or office relocations, and to do so in a way that meets strict regulations.
Our Environment Agency licensing underpins our commitment to legal, responsible and ethical operations. We do not cut corners or pass waste on to unlicensed operators. When you choose our self storage or area removal service, you can be confident that any unwanted items will be dealt with appropriately and traceably.
Professional, Trained and Local Staff
Our team is made up of trained, experienced professionals who know Kingston upon Thames inside out. Many of our staff live locally, with strong connections to areas such as Kingston Vale, Hampton Wick, Tolworth and Chessington. They understand parking restrictions on residential roads, the best times of day to move around key routes like Coombe Lane and the A307, and how to handle delicate moves in and out of period properties and new-build developments.
All staff receive ongoing training in safe lifting, handling and packing, as well as customer service and site safety. Whether they are carefully carrying furniture from a flat near Canbury Gardens or loading boxes from a shop close to the Riverside Walk, our team works with care, courtesy and attention to detail.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide dependable self storage and removal services for Kingston upon Thames and the surrounding area, built on three core principles: trust, transparency and community. We aim to offer clear pricing, flexible options and honest advice, whether you need a small storage unit for a few months or a full household move across the borough.
We want every customer to feel that Self Storage Kingston upon Thames is a long-term partner they can rely on, not just for a single move, but whenever life changes bring new storage or relocation needs.
Eco-Responsibility and Recycling Partnerships
Caring for the local environment is an essential part of how we operate. Based in a riverside borough with treasured green spaces like Richmond Park, Bushy Park and Home Park near Hampton Court, we understand the importance of minimising our impact on the environment.
We work closely with local borough recycling centres and approved partners to ensure that items removed during house moves or clearances are reused or recycled wherever possible. When our removal company collects unwanted items, we sort and direct them towards appropriate reuse routes, donation opportunities or recycling facilities instead of sending everything directly to landfill.
We also maintain and update our vehicle fleet with fuel efficiency in mind, plan routes to reduce unnecessary mileage through Kingston town centre and surrounding areas, and make responsible use of packaging materials. We encourage customers to reuse boxes and materials wherever possible and provide guidance on how to pack in a way that reduces waste.
Community Ties and Local Involvement
Being part of the community is at the heart of what we do. Over the years, we have provided storage and removal support for local charities, community groups and small businesses operating around Kingston Market Place, the riverside arts venues, and the neighbourhoods near Kingston Hospital and Norbiton station.
We have helped local families during major life changes, from downsizing from long-standing homes near Kingston Hill and Coombe to first-time buyers moving into flats around Surbiton and Berrylands. Our area removal service regularly assists local businesses moving between offices close to the railway stations at Kingston, Norbiton and Surbiton, as well as shops and cafes near the Bentall Centre and Clarence Street.
We are proud of our reputation as a friendly, approachable local operator. Customers often return to us over the years, recommending Self Storage Kingston upon Thames to neighbours, colleagues and friends because they know we understand the area and care about the people who live and work here.
