Benefits of Using a Self Storage Facility in Leeds
We won’t pretend that booking a self storage unit will solve all your problems. But it does solve one big problem: protecting your valuables.
Moving house means that your most prized possessions will be in transit. Think about that sofa you saved up to buy, or your treasured collection of family heirlooms. Whatever it is, you don’t want it being bashed about in the back of your car.
Instead, you can store your things in a storage unit until you’re ready to arrange them in your new home. Extra storage allows you to settle in and avoid the dreaded stack of boxes.
As well as peace of mind, you can expect:
- Affordability: New customers can benefit from 50% off for the first 12 weeks
- Flexible rentals: Flexible short-term and long-term rentals mean that our customers only pay for what they need
- Multiple locations: We have three self storage facilities in Leeds so there’s bound to be a Ready Steady Store near you
- Security: 24/7 CCTV monitoring and app-controlled access

Why Do Families in Leeds Use Self Storage Facilities While Moving House?

The answer is simple: secure self storage.
When you move house or renovate your space, you’re in danger of damaging or destroying your things. Then, on top of the cost of moving or renovating, you’ve got to pay for replacements.
But when you rent a storage unit with Ready Steady Store, you can be at ease. It’s simple to store the things that matter to you most and retrieve them when you’re ready.
It’s a great failsafe when chains stall or fall through completely. If your move-in dates change or you don’t complete on the day you were expecting, at least you won’t have to worry about your valuables.
Contactless access makes the whole process as simple as possible. The Ready Steady Store App is your key. It uses Near Field Communication (NFC) to unlock your unit; no one else has access to it.
Busy families love the fact that we’ve partnered with Enterprise to offer discounted van hire. When you store with us, you get access to exclusive offers from Enterprise, including a 24-hour rental window to fit around your schedule.
Price of Self Storage in Leeds
One of the most common self storage questions we get is about the cost.
When you choose Ready Steady Store, you won’t have to pay for more days, weeks, or months than you need. Our flexible, short- or long-term contracts allow families in Leeds to secure a storage unit for exactly as long as they need it.
New customers get 50% off for up to 12 weeks, perfect for families redecorating, moving homes or just freeing up some extra space.
Prices are based on the size of the unit, the length of the stay and the location. Central locations are likely to be in more demand, meaning they could cost more.

Contents Protection Plan
We don’t believe in leaving things to chance. To keep your valuables safe and sound, we tell all our customers that they need contents protection to store with us.
We have a dedicated Contents Protection Plan for customers who prefer to add it straight onto their storage unit plan.
You’re welcome to use your own contents insurance, but you’ll have to speak to your insurance provider and ask them to sign a letter. The letter should state that they know their insurance will be used for items in self storage.
This is important because some people try to use their existing home insurance plan, only to discover that it isn’t suitable for a self storage facility.
Expert View
“The average person moves house about six times during their lifetime. A lot of people lose their valuables along the way or find out they’ve destroyed something precious to them. There’s so much pressure to get things done as quickly as possible, but that’s not always realistic.
Rebecca Donohoe, Area Manager at Ready Steady Store Leeds
A storage unit can really take the pressure off, and it will protect the items that matter to you most. Customers in Leeds get 50% off for up to the first 12 weeks and, if your storage unit saves you from buying a new sofa, it’s well worth the cost.”
Frequently Asked Leeds Self Storage Questions
Do I need self storage when moving house?
It all depends on your situation.
In most cases, move-in dates aren’t set in stone. This can cause a lot of problems, especially for big families that have a lot of furniture and valuables.
Even when your move-in dates are set in stone, it’s stressful to live in that in-between phase while you’re waiting for a new house. Boxes stack up, and your current space might start to feel less like a home and more like a dumping ground.
Self storage is an effective way to bridge the gap.
Can I book a self storage unit for a month?
Yes. Our minimum rental period is four weeks.
How does self storage work?
From start to finish, the whole process is as simple as possible. In fact, you can choose a unit size, sign the contract and start storing furniture and boxes within a few hours.
