About Self Storage Richmond upon Thames

Our Story in Richmond upon Thames

Self Storage Richmond upon Thames was founded to give local residents, businesses and students a secure, reliable and genuinely local storage and removal service they could trust. Starting with just a small set of units near Twickenham Road, we have grown steadily over the years by focusing on one thing above all else: making storage and moving simpler for people who live and work in Richmond upon Thames.

From the early days helping families moving between flats around Richmond Green to supporting growing businesses along Kew Road and Richmond Hill, we have always seen ourselves as part of the local fabric. Our team lives in and around the borough, shops on George Street, walks in Richmond Park and Bushy Park and understands the everyday challenges of parking, narrow streets, and busy traffic around places like Twickenham Stadium, Teddington High Street and the River Thames.

Years of Experience Serving the Borough

For well over a decade, Self Storage Richmond upon Thames has supported customers across the borough with secure storage and dependable removals. During this time, we have helped people relocate between period homes on The Vineyard and The Green, student flats near St Mary’s University in Twickenham, riverside apartments in Brentford and Isleworth, and family homes in East Sheen, St Margarets and Ham.

Our long-standing presence means we know the local streets, estates and parking rules inside out. Whether you are moving near North Sheen Recreation Ground, around the Richmond Riverside area, or into developments near the old Twickenham Film Studios, our experience allows us to plan moves efficiently and safely.

Environment Agency Licensed and Compliant

We take our legal and environmental responsibilities seriously. As a removal company in the area handling furniture, household items and business equipment, we are fully licensed with the Environment Agency for the transport and management of waste. This means that when we remove unwanted items as part of a move or clear-out, you can be confident they are dealt with responsibly and in accordance with current regulations.

Our Environment Agency licensing underpins our commitment to being a responsible area removal service. We keep up to date with changes to legislation and best practice so that our customers never have to worry about where their items end up or whether they have been disposed of correctly.

Highly Trained Local Staff

Our team is made up of trained, permanent staff rather than casual or temporary labour. Every member of our crew receives thorough training in manual handling, safe loading, protective packing, and the secure operation of our self storage facilities.

Because we specialise in Self Storage Richmond upon Thames, our team is also trained specifically for local conditions. They understand the quirks of moving furniture into Victorian terraces off Kew Gardens Road, managing access in mansion blocks near Richmond Bridge and carefully navigating narrow residential roads around Strawberry Hill, Whitton and Hampton.

Customers often tell us that our staff feel more like helpful neighbours than a typical removal company in the area. We take pride in that and work hard to maintain this standard of service.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide secure, flexible and affordable Self Storage Richmond upon Thames solutions alongside a reliable, community-focused removal service for the entire borough. We aim to remove the stress from moving, decluttering, renovating and downsizing by combining professional standards with a friendly local approach.

We believe that great service is not just about moving boxes; it is about listening carefully, planning thoroughly and treating every item and every home with respect. Whether you need a small storage unit during a refurbishment near Richmond Park or a full house move across the borough, we strive to deliver the same attentive, high-quality service every time.

Eco-Responsibility and Recycling Partnerships

As a long-term provider of storage and removal services in Richmond upon Thames, we are committed to protecting the local environment. Our eco-responsibility policy focuses on reducing waste, increasing recycling rates and lowering our carbon footprint wherever possible.

We work closely with local borough recycling centres, including the Townmead Road Re-use and Recycling Centre in Kew, to ensure that items which cannot be reused are disposed of correctly. Wherever we can, we separate recyclable materials and direct them to appropriate facilities rather than sending them to landfill.

Our partnerships also extend to local charities and reuse projects in Richmond, Twickenham and Teddington. When customers have furniture, white goods or other items that are still in good condition but no longer needed, we do our best to help find them a new home through trusted community partners. This approach means that using Self Storage Richmond upon Thames or our area removal service can be part of a more sustainable way of moving and decluttering.

In addition, we continually review our own operations, from route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage, to the materials we use for packing and protection. Where practical, we favour reusable blankets, durable crates and recyclable packing materials over single-use plastics.

Deep Roots in the Community

Our connection to Richmond upon Thames runs through everything we do. Over the years, we have supported local schools, sports clubs and community events, from seasonal fairs near Old Deer Park to charity collections in Twickenham, Kew and Barnes. We understand that when you choose a Self Storage Richmond upon Thames provider or a removal company in the area, you are not just looking for a service; you are placing your belongings in the hands of people you need to trust.

Because many of our staff live within the borough, they take extra pride in representing the area well. You might see our vehicles near Marble Hill Park, along Hampton Court Road, or by the shops on Richmond Hill, and we want them to stand for reliability, care and respect for neighbours.
