Guide to the Size and Price of a 25 Sq Ft Storage Unit

As a London-based storage provider, we understand how limited space can be when you live and work in the city. Many homes and offices simply don’t have enough room to store everything long term. That’s where our 25 sq ft storage units come in.

Suitable for long-term storage and personal or business use, a 25 sq ft unit typically measures 5 × 5 feet. If you’re wondering how big is a 25 sq ft storage unit (or how big is a 5 × 5 storage unit), it’s designed for people who have more items than space and need a practical way to create some breathing room without committing to a larger unit.

Because this size sits at the smaller end of storage unit options, it isn’t intended to hold the full contents of a home or flat during a move. However, it works well for light storage, including boxes, tools and small furniture items.

A 5 × 5 storage unit (25 sq ft) offers roughly the same capacity as a small garden shed or the load space of a panel van. It can typically hold:

• 25–35 standard-sized boxes or
• The contents of a small garden shed

This makes 25 sq ft storage an ideal choice for decluttering, seasonal storage , or small business storage where space is limited but accessibility still matters.

What Can You Use a 25 Sq Ft Storage Unit to Store?

A 25 sq ft storage unit is perfect for securely storing personal belongings and seasonal items, whether for short- or long-term use. Some items you could store include, but are not limited to:

• Small kitchen appliances (microwaves, air fryers)
• Compact furniture items, such as a dresser or a TV stand
• Gardening tools and equipment
• Clothes, personal items and miscellaneous belongings storied in boxes

If you’re using a 5 × 5 storage unit to free up space in an office or warehouse, it’s well suited to light business storage that doesn’t need daily access, including:

• Archived documents, files and folders
• Small workshop tools and trade equipment
• Spare inventory
• Office furniture, such as a small desk or shelving unit
