Self storage in Dorking starts from £26.50 a week, including VAT, for a 16 sq ft unit at our site on Curtis Road. That is the one number that is actually current, replacing a few different figures that have been floating around in different places. Below you will find every size we hold at Dorking, what is included, and the costs that sit alongside the weekly rate, so you can work out the true cost before you book rather than after.
Why Prices Vary at Dorking
A handful of factors set the Dorking price, worth knowing before you get to the table.
- Size. The bigger the unit, the more it costs. That is the main driver, by some distance.
- Floor. At Dorking, a ground-floor unit costs more than an upper-floor unit of the same size, for the convenience of driving straight up to it. A 100 sq ft unit, for example, is £92 a week on the ground floor against £83.50 a week on an upper floor.
- Length of stay. Our current offer, 50% off your first 8 weeks, applies whatever size or floor you take.
- Availability, demand and time of year. The prices below are our standard from-prices, but they move with demand, and 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.

There is no deposit to pay. There is a notice period of 14 days before you move out, and the minimum stay at Dorking 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.

Storage in Dorking
Dorking sits in the Mole Gap, where the River Mole cuts through the North Downs, with Box Hill rising close by on the edge of the Surrey Hills National Landscape. The town has held a market since at least 1240, once so well known for its poultry trade that the Dorking chicken breed is named after it.
Curtis Road sits about 0.3 miles from Dorking West station, close enough that a good number of the people who store with us walk down with a case rather than drive. Most people who store with us are dealing with something ordinary rather than dramatic: a house move stuck between chains, a renovation overflowing into a spare room, a business that has run out of office space. Most storage pages leave the small print, like the notice period and what happens if you leave partway through a month, for later. We put it on this page instead, so you know exactly what you are agreeing to before you call. The wider Mole Valley district is home to around 5,400 registered businesses, including 90 in the transport and storage sector alone, according to 2021 ONS business data. You can read more about the Dorking site itself, or see how prices compare across our other towns if Dorking is not the only site you are weighing up.

Why does a ground-floor unit cost more than an upper-floor unit?
