Harlow Storage: What You Need to Know Before You Book
Harlow is a planned new town built across the CM17, CM18, CM19, and CM20 postcode districts, covering roughly 26 square kilometres of west Essex. The town was designed in the late 1940s by Sir Frederick Gibberd and has grown steadily into a commercial and logistics hub thanks to its M11 corridor position and the nearby Stansted Airport freight routes.
That growth brings real demand for storage. Harlow has a population of around 90,000 people, a busy industrial park concentrated along Edinburgh Way and River Way, and a high rate of flat and apartment living in areas like The Stow, Bishopsgate, and Mark Hall. When you live in a flat or a terraced house on Mowbray Road or Roding Road, spare space is simply not available.
Our storage units in Harlow are available in a range of sizes, starting from 25 sq ft lockers suitable for a few boxes up to 300 sq ft units that can hold a full four-bedroom house clearance. Pricing is weekly, with no setup fee. You pay only for the space you use. Units are ground-floor, drive-up accessible, so you never carry items up stairs or through narrow corridors. This matters when you're moving heavy furniture from a property on Second Avenue or unloading a transit van after a house move in Netteswell.
Storage in Harlow costs less than renting additional commercial space in the town centre, and far less than upgrading to a larger property just to hold possessions you use only seasonally. For businesses, it is a variable cost you can increase or decrease month by month without a landlord's approval.
Access to Your Storage Unit in Harlow
Access hours matter more than most people realise when they first book a storage unit.
A unit that closes at 6pm is useless to a sole trader who finishes deliveries on the River Way Industrial Estate at 7pm. Giant Van offers extended access hours, with most of our Harlow facilities open seven days a week from early morning until late evening.
Each customer receives a unique PIN code and a dedicated padlock for their unit.
No staff member can enter your unit without your permission. Security cameras cover every entry point, loading bay, and corridor, and footage is retained for a minimum of 30 days. All cameras operate under CCTV signage in full compliance with ICO guidance for data retention.
Vehicle access is a practical priority for Harlow customers.
Our facilities include turning space for long-wheelbase vans and small lorries. If you're a market trader based near The Stow or a contractor working around the Harlow Mill area, you can pull a Transit Custom or a Sprinter directly up to your unit door and unload without the awkward carry from a shared loading bay. Trolleys and pallet trucks are available on-site at no extra charge. If you need to park your van overnight while you're away or your firm requires a second vehicle to remain secure on-site, ask our team about vehicle storage options when you call .

Storage Unit Sizes and Prices in Harlow
Our Harlow storage units are priced by size on a weekly basis, with no setup fee and no exit charge. The following sizes are our most commonly booked options. A 25 sq ft locker is suitable for 10 to 15 medium packing boxes, a bicycle, or a small amount of business archive. This size is popular with flat residents in Bishopsgate and The Stow who need seasonal storage without paying for a full unit. A 50 sq ft unit holds the contents of a studio flat or small one-bedroom property. It fits a sofa, a bed frame, a wardrobe, and roughly 20 boxes. A 100 sq ft unit is our most popular size for residential customers. It holds the contents of a two to three-bedroom property comfortably, including white goods. A 200 sq ft unit is suited to four-bedroom house clearances, small business stock, or catering and event equipment. Pallet truck access is included. A 300 sq ft unit is our largest standard offering. It is used primarily by businesses on the Edinburgh Way and River Way industrial zones for stock overflow, equipment storage, and document archiving. Call 020 3129 6180 for a current price quote. Prices vary slightly by facility location and by the time of year, and we always confirm the exact weekly rate before you commit to a booking.

6 Tips
These are practical steps drawn from experience with thousands of storage customers across Essex and Hertfordshire.
When boxes are stacked five high, you cannot see the lid. Use a permanent marker in large print and note both the room of origin and the main contents. A label reading "Kitchen, CM17 move, plates and mugs" is infinitely more useful than "Box 14."
Bed frames, wardrobes, and flat-pack shelving take up a fraction of the floor space once broken down. Keep all screws and bolts in a zip-lock bag taped to the main frame. Do not leave this to memory.
Items you may access regularly, such as seasonal sports equipment, tax records from the previous year, or catering supplies, should sit within two metres of the door.
Our staff check units periodically as part of security rounds.
Even a well-sealed facility can experience minor condensation in winter. Lifting boxes by a few centimetres eliminates the risk of damp damage to cardboard at ground level.

Trolleys are at the loading bay entrance. Our staff are present during business hours if you need assistance locating anything on-site, but we do not enter your unit during loading.

Areas Around Harlow We Cover for Collections and Drop-Offs
Our storage service in Harlow sits at the centre of a collection network that extends across west Essex and into parts of Hertfordshire.
If you need us to collect items from your property before bringing them to the unit, our van team operates across the following areas as a standard part of our booking options.
Within Harlow itself, we cover Old Harlow (CM17), Potter Street, Matching Tye, Little Parndon, Netteswell, Kingsmoor, Church Langley, The Stow, Staple Tye, and Bushey Ley.
We also cover the Harlow Town station area and the Terminus Street retail zone for commercial customers.
Outside Harlow, we regularly collect from Epping (CM16), Sawbridgeworth (CM21), Hoddesdon (EN11), Ware (SG12), Hertford (SG13), Bishops Stortford (CM23), and Great Dunmow (CM6).
These towns are all within a 20-mile radius of our primary Harlow site and fall within our standard collection zone.
Longer-distance collections, for example from Chelmsford (CM1, CM2) or Braintree (CM7), are available at an additional mileage charge quoted at the time of booking.
We do not subcontract collection work. The team that collects from your address in Sawbridgeworth is the same team that loads and locks your unit in Harlow.
For commercial customers with multiple collection points across the area, we offer a scheduled collection arrangement on a fortnightly or monthly basis.
Call to discuss a commercial account.

Why Harlow Customers Choose Giant Van Storage
The Harlow storage market has grown in the past decade as the town has attracted more logistics businesses and as house prices in the surrounding area have pushed people into smaller properties. Several large national operators run facilities along the M11 corridor, but most impose minimum contract lengths of four weeks or more, charge for access outside standard hours, and bundle security as a premium option.
Giant Van was built around the idea that storage should be simple. No contracts that tie you in for months. No fees buried in small print. No call centres that cannot answer basic questions about your unit.
Our team know Harlow. We know that the Town Station car park is always congested on a Saturday morning and that Edinburgh Way is your best bet for a clear run in a loaded van. We know that Church Langley residents are often moving because of school catchment changes and that businesses on the River Way estate need forklift-height loading bays, not domestic trolleys.
We also handle time-sensitive situations. Property chains in CM20 break down regularly. When a completion date shifts by a week and you are homeless for seven days, we can hold your furniture with a same-day booking and next-day clearance. We have done this hundreds of times for Harlow families.
For businesses, we operate as a flexible overflow warehouse. E-commerce sellers, market traders, caterers serving the Harvey Centre, and contractors working on the Harlow regeneration projects along the Water Gardens area all use us as a cost-effective alternative to committing to commercial lease space.

Best Times to Book Storage in Harlow
6 Tips
This aligns with the UK conveyancing season, when the majority of house completions take place. If you are in a Harlow chain or completing on a property in CM18 or CM19, book your unit at least two weeks before your expected completion date. Units of 100 sq ft and above sell out fastest during this window.
Unit availability is highest, and we often run reduced-rate promotions for bookings made during this window. If you have flexibility on timing, a winter booking can save you 10 to 15 percent against peak-season rates.
Weekend afternoons, particularly Saturday between 1pm and 4pm, are the busiest access periods. If you are moving a large volume of items, a weekday move reduces the time spent waiting for loading bay access.
Our team can tell you exactly what is available at each of our Harlow-area facilities and confirm your booking within minutes.
Self-Storage vs Removals Company Storage in Harlow
5 Tips
You can add items, remove items, or swap things around without involving any staff. There is no minimum packing requirement, and you do not need to book an appointment to access your goods.
Your items are loaded into a sealed container by the removals team, which means you cannot access individual boxes without a full retrieval. This model suits people who want their furniture held untouched for a defined period, such as six months between property transactions. It is not suited to frequent access.
Container storage includes a handling service, which is reflected in the cost.
If you are unsure which suits your situation, call 020 3129 6180 and our team will give you an honest recommendation.
Giant Van provides storage harlow customers can book without a minimum contract, with units available from 25 sq ft lockers up to large 300 sq ft rooms.

Flexible Units for Homes and Businesses — FAQs
How much does storage in Harlow cost per week?
Prices at Giant Van depend on unit size and season. Small 25 sq ft lockers start at the lower end of the market, while 100 sq ft units, our most popular size, are priced competitively against other Harlow facilities. We charge weekly with no setup fee or exit charge. Call for a current quote specific to your move-in date and size requirement.
Can I access my storage unit in Harlow at the weekend?
Yes. Our Harlow facilities are open seven days a week, including weekends and bank holidays, with extended hours covering early morning to late evening. Your personal PIN code and padlock give you direct access without needing to involve staff. Saturday afternoons between 1pm and 4pm are the busiest access periods, so weekday mornings are quieter if you are moving large volumes.
Is there CCTV at your Harlow storage site?
24-hour CCTV monitoring is included as standard at all Giant Van facilities in Harlow. Cameras cover every entry point, loading bay, and internal corridor. Footage is retained for a minimum of 30 days in compliance with ICO data retention guidelines. There is no additional charge for security monitoring. It is part of the base price of every unit we rent.
What is the minimum rental period for a storage unit in Harlow?
Giant Van does not impose a minimum rental period. You can rent a unit for a single week if that is all you need. We require seven days' written notice to vacate, but there are no penalties for ending your rental early. This makes us a practical option for Harlow customers in property chains where completion dates can change at short notice and storage needs are unpredictable.
Which Harlow postcodes do you serve?
We serve all four Harlow postcode districts: CM17 (Old Harlow, Potter Street), CM18 (Harlow town centre, Kingsmoor), CM19 (Pinnacles, Little Parndon), and CM20 (Netteswell, Mark Hall, Harlow Town station area). We also collect from surrounding towns including Epping CM16, Sawbridgeworth CM21, Hoddesdon EN11, and Bishops Stortford CM23 within our standard collection zone.
Can businesses use Giant Van storage in Harlow?
Yes. Business customers make up a significant share of our Harlow bookings. We work with e-commerce sellers, market traders, contractors, and firms on the Edinburgh Way and River Way industrial estates who need flexible overflow space without signing a commercial lease. Pallet truck access is included for units of 200 sq ft and above. Commercial account arrangements with scheduled collections are available on request.
What items cannot be stored in your Harlow units?
We do not permit the storage of food, perishables, liquids that may freeze and expand, gas cylinders, flammable liquids, paint, or any item regulated under UK health and safety legislation. Firearms and ammunition require a separate licensed storage arrangement. Standard household furniture, clothing, electronics, business stock, documents, and non-motorised equipment are all accepted without restriction.
Do you offer contents insurance for items stored in Harlow?
An optional contents protection plan is available starting from £3.50 per week for contents valued up to £3,000. Higher-value coverage tiers are available on request. Before purchasing, check your existing home or business insurance policy, as many insurers extend cover to goods held in off-site storage automatically. Our team can advise on coverage options when you call .
