What’s Actually Included at That Price
The from-rate isn’t the whole story, it already bundles security, access and refund terms most competitors treat as extras.
A two-week minimum, not a locked-in year
You can book for as little as two weeks, not months you don’t need.
Unused days refunded after your notice
Give 14 days’ notice to end the agreement, vacate the unit, and any paid days you didn’t use are refunded, three separate steps, not one blurred promise.
Individually alarmed units and monitored CCTV
Security is baked into the price, not an add-on.
The insurance requirement, honestly framed
Contents protection is genuinely mandatory, either Wigwam’s own cover or your own equivalent. If you supply proof of your own cover, Wigwam’s own charge is refunded within 14 days, a concrete detail, not an upsell dressed up as a requirement.
Why Alton’s Price Varies by Size and Term
Small, medium and large are bands, not one fixed price.
Unit size bands aren’t a single price
An exact unit within a band may sit above or below the headline “from” figure, depending on the specific size.
Term length and the current promotion
The current 50% off first 8 weeks offer is promotional, not a baseline rate, and it’s dated 23 July 2026, check the live page for what’s running now. Once that introductory period ends, the standard weekly rate for your size applies, so it’s worth checking what that figure is before you book, not just the headline discounted one.
Why the exact price within a band still moves
Two units in the same size band aren’t always priced identically. Availability at the time you book, and how much of that band’s stock is already taken, both play into where within the range your specific unit lands. That’s normal across the industry, and it’s exactly why the table above is a ballpark and the quote engine gives you the number that actually applies to you.
Is Alton’s Price Fair? How It Compares to Typical UK Rates
Alton’s from-rates sit at or below the low end of typical UK bands for equivalent sizes, according to industry pricing guides.
Industry pricing guides suggest roughly £15-£25 a week for 25 sq ft, £22-£40 for 50 sq ft, £40-£65 for 100 sq ft, and £60-£90 for 150 sq ft, as of 23 July 2026.
| Size band | Typical UK range | Alton’s from-rate | Where it sits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small (25-50 sq ft) | £15-£40/wk | £8/wk | Below the typical range |
| Medium (75-100 sq ft) | £40-£65/wk | £44/wk | At the low end |
| Large (150+ sq ft) | £60-£90/wk | £71/wk | Within the typical range |
That’s not a coincidence dressed up as a selling point, it’s the current promotional rate holding at or under the low end across all three bands. Separately, Wigwam’s own UK pricing guide shows how Alton compares against Wigwam’s other towns, if you want to check pricing elsewhere in the network too.

Entry is via smart entry, with a fob available if you’d rather not use the app.
How Alton Compares if You’re Checking More Than One Option
If you’ve got other tabs open, a lower headline number elsewhere is worth a second look before you book on price alone. Ask what it actually includes: is the unit individually alarmed, is access genuinely 6am to 10pm every day or restricted to office hours, is there a minimum term longer than two weeks, and are unused paid days refunded if you leave early. A cheaper weekly rate that comes with a six-month tie-in or daytime-only access can end up costing more, in money or in flexibility, than Wigwam’s from-rate with none of those catches attached.
Picture someone clearing a parent’s house in Alton over a few weeks, not sure yet whether they’ll need the unit for a fortnight or two months. A locked-in minimum term turns that uncertainty into a bet against yourself. A two-week minimum with unused days refunded doesn’t, it just matches the price to how long the job actually takes.
