Storage in E-7 and E-11
What a E-7 and E-11 job usually looks like
E-11 is apartments, and apartments change everything about a collection. There's no store room, no garage and no spare bedroom to pile things into, which is exactly why people here store in the first place. E-7 sits at the other end of the same road with large houses on large plots. We work both, and the difference is measured in flights of stairs.
Most households we collect from E-7 and E-11 land on a 10 x 10, which is 100 square feet and runs PKR 20,000 to 25,000 a month. That is a guide and not a quote. What decides it is the volume you actually have, not the number of bedrooms you started with, and two houses of the same size rarely need the same unit once one of them has sold its wardrobes and the other hasn't.
The rent covers the space and the security. Collection and delivery are quoted separately, because a third-floor flat with no lift and a ground-floor house are not the same job, and pricing them the same means one of you is paying for the other.
Who calls us
Why people in E-7 and E-11 take a unit
Storage is rarely something anyone planned for. These are the three reasons we hear most often from E-7 and E-11, Islamabad specifically.
Flats with nowhere to put anything
A two bedroom apartment has no attic. Winter bedding, a second set of crockery, a cot nobody needs yet and the boxes from the last move all compete with the space you actually live in. The smallest units on the rate card exist for precisely this, and they cost less a month than most people guess.
Professionals and students leaving
A posting to another city, a course abroad, a job that starts in Dubai in five weeks. Giving up the flat and storing the contents is cheaper than paying rent on an empty apartment to keep hold of a bed and a fridge.
Landlords turning a flat around
Between tenants there's usually a set of furniture belonging to the owner, and a week of painting that shouldn't happen around it. A short booking covers the turnaround and the furniture comes back clean.
What it costs
The rate card, in full
One national rate. E-7 and E-11, Islamabad isn't priced differently to anywhere else we operate, so if somebody local is quoting you more for the same floor area, this is the number to hold them against.
Units, pay for the floor area you take
| Unit | Floor area | What it holds | Per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 x 5 | 25 sq ft | A studio or a single room. Cartons, a bed, a couple of appliances. | PKR 5,000 to 6,250 |
| 10 x 10 | 100 sq ft | A 1 or 2 bedroom flat, furniture and appliances included. | PKR 20,000 to 25,000 |
| 10 x 15 | 150 sq ft | A 2 to 3 bedroom house with its white goods. | PKR 30,000 to 37,500 |
| 10 x 20 | 200 sq ft | A 3 to 4 bedroom house, everything in it. | PKR 40,000 to 50,000 |
Units are billed at PKR 200 to 250 per square foot per month. Where you land in that band depends on the floor the unit is on and how often you need access. 1 month minimum. Collection and delivery are quoted separately.
Containers, a flat rate for the whole sealed box
| Container | Usable space | What it holds | Per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 ft container | 149 sq ft1,170 cu ft | A 2 to 3 bedroom house. Sealed, and nobody else's things share it. | PKR 30,000≈ PKR 201/sq ft |
| 40 ft container | 304 sq ft2,390 cu ft | A 4 to 5 bedroom house, or a shop's full stock and fittings. | PKR 50,000≈ PKR 164/sq ft |
Containers are a flat monthly rate for the whole sealed box. The bigger the box, the less you pay per square foot. Compare the per-foot figures above against the PKR 200 to 250 unit band. Internal dimensions shown, not the external size the box is named after.

Collection day
Lifts, and what the lift will actually take
The building's lift decides the day. A service lift that takes a fridge is a different job from a passenger lift that takes a wardrobe only on its side, and both are different again from a lift that's out. Most buildings here want the lift booked with management for a move, which is worth doing when you book rather than on the morning. Tell us the floor, whether there's a service lift and whether it can be reserved. If the honest answer is a stair carry from the fifth floor, that's fine. It just isn't the same job, and the quote should say so before you agree to it.
None of this changes your monthly rent, which is based on the floor area you take and nothing else. It changes the collection quote, and we would far rather it changed the quote than the morning.
How a collection runsOne thing we do not do: cold storage
We do not offer refrigerated or temperature-controlled storage. Our units are dry, ventilated and pest-controlled, which is right for furniture, appliances, documents and household goods, and wrong for anything that needs to be kept cold. If you need cold storage, we would rather tell you now than take a booking we cannot honour.
Questions
4 questions people in E-7 and E-11 ask
These are specific to E-7 and E-11, Islamabad. The general questions about how storage works are answered in full on the FAQ page.
What's the smallest unit you do, and is it enough for a flat?
The smallest on the rate card suits a studio or a single room, and the next size up takes a one or two bedroom flat with its furniture and appliances. Most E-11 apartments land in one of those two. If you aren't sure, the size calculator works it out from what you're actually storing rather than from the number of bedrooms.
Do I have to be there when you collect?
Someone does, to let the crew in and sign the inventory, but it doesn't have to be you. Plenty of people hand that to a relative or a building manager, particularly when the flight is before the collection date.
The lift in my building is out. Can you still do it?
Yes, and we'd much rather know now. A stair carry needs more people and more time, which changes the collection quote. It doesn't change the monthly rent, which is based on the floor area you take and nothing else.
Can I store a few boxes rather than a whole flat?
Yes. Units are rented by the square foot, so a small amount takes a small unit. If what you're storing genuinely is a handful of cartons, say so and we'll tell you the smallest thing that fits rather than selling you a room you won't fill.
Everything else, from what can't go into a unit to how billing works, is on the full FAQ.
