HOLD Self Storage

HOLD Self Storage: self storage in central London

HOLD Self Storage is a storage company founded by Londoners for Londoners. Its first site is in King's Cross, in central London, and it presents itself as an alternative to the traditional self storage chains. The company says it was created by industry veterans who were looking for a different model, focused on people and the environment.

The building is newly built and is described as modern and well maintained. The company states that it offers 24-hour access with a PIN code on request, alarmed units, off-street parking and loading bays. Security includes CCTV and alarmed buildings.

Storage services for individuals and businesses

HOLD offers self storage units for various uses. Among the applications it mentions are moving home, furniture storage, student storage, short-term storage, storage during renovations and furniture storage. For businesses it offers small business storage, e-commerce storage, archiving and documents, office storage, warehouse, stock and secure tools. It also offers mailbox rental.

The company also sells packing materials and boxes through its shop. The sign-up process is described in three steps: choose the size of the room, get a free quote online and book and move in. Billing is monthly, with no long-term contract and one month's notice to leave the unit. Insurance cover is required, for which the company offers a protection plan.

Access, opening hours and conditions

24-hour access is available on request. Office hours are Monday to Friday 8:30am-5pm, Saturday 9:30am-6:30pm and Sunday 10am-4pm. The company states that 24-hour access can be requested and that the units are alarmed.

The company applies a price match guarantee within a three-mile radius and offers free van hire for the move. At the time of the analysis, the site was advertising a promotion of £2 for the first month's rent, subject to terms and conditions.

Commitment to people and the environment

HOLD presents itself as a company accredited as a Living Wage Employer and has received a Feefo Gold Service Award. Its founder was chairman of the Self Storage Association UK. The company states that it has supported 133 local businesses, 8 charities and more than 100 jobs. It also mentions environmental and community commitments, without detailing them in the available information.
