Storage costs in the UK
Does anyone know how much storage costs are in the UK, and/or any names of stoarage companies you may have used. I will be moving back at the end of February, with most of our belongings, and will have to store them until my husband joins me a few months later. They will be coming into London, Thamesport I think?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I use The Big Yellow Storage Company in Brighton. Two hours drive from London. They charge 52 pounds for a medium sized cage, and have been very professional to deal with.

Just do a google search for storage depots in the area you need. Alternatively have you got any friends/family that have an empty garage or shed?
yes I am trying to weigh all the pro's and con's. It seems in the long run it will be cheaper to store it than try to replace it all. Although when I was over in London before Christmas I was suprised at how little prices there have gone up since I came out here. It really used to seem like a bargain basement to shop in Vancouver compared to England, but not anymore.Thanks.
