How much does self storage cost in Bradford? (2026 prices)
At Space Buddy, our smallest unit (a 10 sq ft Pico locker) is £7.00/week at the standard rate, or £3.50/week for your first 12 months with the launch offer. Every size scales from one flat rate — £36/sq ft per year — so you can work out any unit’s price yourself. Here’s exactly how it breaks down.
Storage pricing can feel opaque — quotes that only appear after you hand over your details, prices that depend on availability on the day, or headline rates that don’t mention what happens after month one. We’d rather just show the maths. Every price on this page is calculated from the same rate we use on our own sizes & prices page, so there’s nothing hidden between here and checkout.
Bradford storage prices by size
All prices below are shown before VAT (standard 20% UK VAT is added at checkout), with the standard rate and the launch-offer rate for your first 12 months side by side.
| Size | Good for | Weekly (offer) | Weekly (standard) | Monthly (standard) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pico locker (10 sq ft) | A student's belongings or a few boxes | £3.50 | £7.00 | £30.00 |
| Nano (15 sq ft) | Small furniture, bikes, seasonal items | £5.25 | £10.50 | £45.00 |
| Core (25 sq ft) | A one-bedroom flat’s contents | £8.75 | £17.25 | £75.00 |
| Max (50 sq ft) | A two-bedroom home | £17.25 | £34.50 | £150.00 |
| Titan (100 sq ft) | A four-bedroom house or business stock | £34.50 | £69.25 | £300.00 |
Example: a 50 sq ft Max unit is £17.25/week for your first 12 months, then £34.50/week (£75.00/month offer, £150.00/month standard) from month 13.
How the £36/sq ft/year rate works
Every unit at Space Buddy is priced from one flat annual rate: £36 per square foot, per year. From there:
- Weekly price = (size in sq ft × £36) ÷ 52, rounded to the nearest 25p
- Monthly price = (size in sq ft × £36) ÷ 12
- Bigger units cost more in total, but the price per square foot never changes — there’s no premium for smaller units or discount tiers that only kick in above a certain size

What the 50% launch offer actually means
50% off your first 12 months for every customer, on any unit size, then the standard rate from month 13. There’s no separate student rate or scarcity gimmick — it’s the same half-price first year for everyone who books before we open, because we’re a brand-new facility (opening 21 september 2026) and it’s how we say thank you to early customers.
The honest bit
The discount runs for 12 months from your move-in date. From month 13, you pay the standard rate for your unit — the same figure shown in the “Weekly (standard)” column above. There’s no deposit, no minimum contract beyond the one-week rolling term, and just one week’s notice to leave. On a mid-size unit, the offer typically works out at ~£450 saved across the first year.
What actually affects self storage prices
Storage pricing varies a fair amount across the UK — small local facilities and city-centre chain sites can each land anywhere from roughly £15 to £45+ a week for a comparable-sized unit, largely down to a handful of factors:
- Unit size — the biggest single factor; price scales with floor area
- Location — city-centre and high-footfall sites typically cost more than out-of-town units
- Access model — 24/7 self-service access (like ours) vs. staffed-hours-only access
- Contract length and notice period — rolling weekly terms vs. long minimum contracts
- What’s included — electronic locks and PIN codes included vs. bring-your-own-padlock, insurance requirements, and whether deposits are charged
We haven’t quoted specific competitors here because prices change often and vary by promotion — if you’re comparing, ask for their price including VAT, with no deposit, and check the notice period before you sign anything.
