Typical costs
Rates vary by size, location, and demand. Expect roughly £50 to £150 or more per month for a 50–75 sq ft unit. Many sites offer first-month discounts. Check the contract length and notice period. Insurance is often required or offered as an add-on.
What to check
Opening hours and access (24-hour vs business hours), security (CCTV, gated), and whether you need to provide your own lock. Compare at least two or three providers. Read the contract for notice periods and any price increases.
