I think it entirely depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking to store furniture then that rate isn't bad, compared to some of the quotes I had when I was looking for storage for a friend.

why not look at renting garage space instead? There are plenty that are secure. Mine costs 40pm...

How much did they charge to store your friend?

Long time ago - about six years, we used A2B - it was about £7 a week plus vat. You had to pay to access it as well though - but if it is long term storage that you're after, it may work out cheaper.

x2 leather 3 seaters, x2 antique dressers, x2 antique single drawers, x2 double bed frames, x3 large mirrors, x3 tiffany lamps, plus boxes of bedding, makes you wonder if ebay are worth giving a try - minus the lamps

We had one large sofa, large wardrobe, three chests of drawers, and various other stuff like garden furniture. Had loads of spare space out of one of the 7ft by 7ft by 6ft boxes. They are £9.70 a week - so even if you needed two, you're not talking £30 a week.

 

Somewhere else here quoting £7 & vat

Only issue I can see is if your sofas are longer than 7 ft long.
