But First: What We Offer You at Wigwam Self Storage
Wigwam Self Storage offers modern, secure and affordable storage across 14 convenient locations including Alton, Bath, Bromsgrove, Burton-on-Trent, Cheltenham, Chipping Norton, Dorking, Leatherhead, Lincoln, Reading, Shipston-on-Stour, Tewkesbury, Warminster and Marlow. Most of our units are purpose-built inside clean, well-lit warehouses.
At selected sites like Chipping Norton and Shipston-on-Stour, we also offer drive-up units and external containers. Whether you’re storing household items or business stock, we make it easy to find the right space at the right price.
The Benefits Of Our Self Storage Solutions
Unlike our self storage units, our storage containers offer convenient drive-up access, allowing customers to easily load and unload goods straight into their containers.
Here are a few other benefits of our container storage hire service:
- Short and long term container storage options
- Domestic and commercial storage packages
- Free access, 7 days a week
- Packaging materials and padlocks for sale
- Access controlled with 24-hour CCTV surveillance
- Convenient drive-up unit access
Factors Affecting Self Storage Prices:
1. Storage Unit Size
Storage units range from compact lockers to large warehouse-style spaces, and prices are typically calculated per square foot. While smaller units have a lower total cost, they often work out more expensive per square foot.
Larger units offer better value for money in terms of space, even though the overall price is higher. Choosing the right size for your needs is key to keeping costs down without paying for space you don’t need.
2. Location
Where your storage facility is located has a major impact on the price you’ll pay. Units in busy city centres generally cost more, and as you move away from major urban areas and into the Midlands or the North, prices generally drop. Comparing rates across different regions can help you find better value for your budget.
3. Length of Stay
How long you plan to use storage can have a big impact on the overall cost. Many providers offer short-term storage deals like 50% off for the first 8 weeks, which is ideal if you only need space for a month or two.
For longer stays, discounts or loyalty rates are often available, especially if you’re committing to six months or more. It’s also worth asking about special offers for NHS staff, teachers, military personnel, or emergency service workers, as many companies provide additional savings for these groups.
4. Amenities and Services
Today’s self storage facilities are more advanced than ever, and the added features can influence the price. Many UK providers now offer 24-hour access, climate control and phone-based keyless entry as standard features.
5. Insurance and Security
Most storage providers require you to purchase insurance for your belongings, either by using their own cover options like Enhanced Liability or through a third-party insurance policy.
The total insurance cost usually depends on the replacement value of what you’re storing. While serious incidents are uncommon, it’s important to make sure your items are fully protected.
Self Storage Prices in the UK
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to self storage pricing. What you pay depends on where you are, how much space you need, and what features the facility offers. On average, a standard 25 sq ft unit might cost anywhere from £12 to £45 per week, depending on location. Units in or near major cities tend to sit at the higher end of that range, while storage in smaller towns or rural areas is usually more affordable.
Wigwam Self Storage keeps pricing competitive across all of our locations, with clean, secure and flexible units available in Bromsgrove, Burton-on-Trent, Lincoln, Shipston-on-Stour, and Chipping Norton. We offer a variety of unit sizes to suit personal and business storage needs, and our expert team can help you choose the right space so you’re not paying for more than you need.
Tech-Powered Security: Why Smarter Storage Is Worth the Price
While prices vary, features like 24-hour access, keyless entry or enhanced security may influence the rate. According to the 2025 SSA UK Annual Report, more UK facilities are adding biometric access, AI-monitored CCTV and smart pricing tools. These upgrades offer added convenience and protection, which many customers see as worth the slight increase in cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Standard rental includes your chosen unit size, access during opening hours, and built-in security such as alarm systems. Some providers may charge extra for items like padlocks, insurance or extended access, so it’s always worth checking what’s included in your rate.
While your rental fee covers the basics, there are several additional costs to keep in mind:
Contents Protection (Insurance)
All customers are required to have contents protection in place.
You can choose Wigwam’s cover, which is charged based on the maximum replacement value of your items.
If you prefer to use your own insurance, you can provide proof within 14 days, and we’ll refund the charge in full. We recommend starting with our cover to ensure your items are protected from day one.
Payment Terms
At Wigwam, our minimum storage period is 2 weeks. Payments are taken every 4 weeks by card or Direct Debit. Cash and cheque payments are not accepted
Padlocks
Most of our facilities use a Mobile Smart Entry System, which is free of charge and doesn’t require a padlock. Only one location still uses padlocks, so it’s best to check when booking.
Packing Materials
Items like boxes, tape and bubble wrap are not included in the rental. These can be purchased at Wigwam’s on-site packaging shop
Transport and Moving Costs
The cost of getting your items to the facility is not included. Whether you use your own vehicle, a man-and-van service, or a removals company, transport is an added expense
Getting a quote is simple. Call us on 0800 254 5585 or email hello@wigwamstorage.co.uk and our team will help you choose the right unit at the best price.
Whether you’re moving, decluttering or expanding your business, Wigwam Self Storage offers flexible, secure and affordable options across the UK. All stores are open 7 days a week from 6am to 10pm.
Customer Reviews
I would definitely recommend Wigwam Self Storage to anyone looking for a safe and reliable place to store their belongings. Great service!
On top of that, the dolly trolleys are meant to be returned to a designated point after use, but in practice no one does this, so you end up hunting for one. Most of the time they’re left in a separate building I don’t have access to, meaning I have to walk around 50m through corridors and up stairs carrying my belongings just to reach my unit. I reported this to reception and was told they’d return the trolleys to the proper point, but nothing has changed.
Parking is another issue - the boxing gym attached to the building also uses the car park, so it often feels crowded.
Only use this facility if you’re desperate. Otherwise, I’d look elsewhere.
Easy to navigate the site with easy access and facilities !
Well done Wigwam!!
Transparent pricing
Very happy with the service.
