Self storage in Reading starts from £15 a week, including VAT, for a 20 sq ft unit on the first floor at our site on Bridgewater Close. That figure is the real, current price, not a promotional headline with the detail added later. Below is every size we hold at Reading, on both floors, what comes included, and the costs that sit alongside the weekly rate, so you know the full picture before you book, not after.
Why Prices Vary at Reading
A few things push the Reading price up or down, and they are worth knowing before you reach the table.
- Size. The bigger the unit, the more it costs. That is the main driver, by some distance.
- Floor. At Reading, a first-floor unit costs less than a ground-floor unit of the same size. Floor is a genuine part of the price here, not just a detail.
- Length of stay. Our current offer, 50% off your first 8 weeks, applies whatever size you take.
- Availability, demand and time of year. The prices below are our standard from-prices, but like most things worth having, they move with demand. A unit at Reading can cost more in a busy month, such as the summer moving season, than in a quiet one (nationally, self storage search interest peaks in the first half of August). What you are quoted on the day is what it actually costs then, not a fixed number pulled from this page.
Self Storage Prices in Reading by Unit Size
Here is the full range we hold at Reading, shown by floor since the two are priced differently here. All prices include VAT, so there is nothing added at the till or on your invoice. The table shows our standard weekly rate, and what that becomes under our current offer of 50% off your first 8 weeks. Prices shown are current as of September 2026 and move with demand and season, as explained above, so confirm the exact figure for your date and size when you get a quote.

Additional Costs to Consider
The weekly price is not the whole story anywhere in this trade, and we would sooner you had the rest of it from us now than discover it later.
There is no deposit to pay. There is a notice period of 14 days before you move out, and the minimum stay at Reading is two weeks. Most customers also take Contents Protection, priced against what you are storing, unless you can show your own insurance covers it, in which case tell us within 14 days and we will sort out the difference. Wigwam Self Storage is an accredited member of the UK Self Storage Association, the body that sets standards for storage operators across the country.
Storage in Reading, Caversham, Woodley and Earley
Reading sits where the River Thames meets the River Kennet, a spot that has drawn trade and settlement for centuries. Henry I founded Reading Abbey here in 1121, and he is buried within its grounds, though little of the original church survives beyond the 12th-century gateway and ruins. These days it is better known as a major commercial and technology centre, home to UK operations for firms like Microsoft, Oracle and Cisco. Bridgewater Close is a short drive from all of it.
Bridgewater Close sits close to the M4 at Junction 11 and a short run from Reading West station, so we see as many vans from Caversham, Woodley and Earley as we do from Reading itself, with Tilehurst not far behind. Most of what we store is ordinary life that needs somewhere to sit for a while: a house move that has not quite lined up, a renovation that has taken over a room too many, a business that has outgrown the spare corner of an office. One thing to know if you are storing for a business: our sites are unmanned, so we cannot sign for deliveries or accept stock on your behalf the way a staffed depot might. That is a plain trade-off for the honest price and the flexible terms, and it is better planned around now than discovered on moving day. The wider Reading area is home to around 6,880 registered businesses, including 395 in the transport and storage sector alone, according to 2021 ONS business data.
