How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask a few questions about property access, volume and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation explaining collection, storage charges and redelivery costs.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger jobs, unusual items or business storage, we arrange a professional survey. This can be done via video call or an in-person visit. The survey allows us to assess volumes accurately, plan the right vehicle and number of storage containers, and identify any access challenges before the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

Full packing service – Our trained team supply materials and carefully pack everything for storage.
Part packing – We pack fragile or awkward items; you pack straightforward belongings.
Self-packing – You pack your own boxes; we provide guidance on what works best for storage.

We wrap furniture with padded covers and protect mattresses, sofas and delicate items to keep them in good condition while stored.

4. Loading & Transport to Store

Our trained removals team arrive on the agreed day, protect floors where needed and systematically load items onto our vehicle or directly into storage containers. Everything is listed on an inventory and labelled so we know exactly what’s in store and where it is. Your goods are then transported to our secure storage facility.

5. Secure Storage, Unloading & Redelivery

At the facility, your containers are placed in clean, dry, monitored storage. When you’re ready, we schedule redelivery, bring the containers back to your property and unload, placing items in the rooms you choose. You don’t need to visit the store unless you want to; we manage the whole process end to end.

Transparent, Fair Pricing for Storage

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quotation will break down:

Collection and loading costs
Weekly or monthly storage charges per container or per volume
Redelivery and unloading charges
Optional extras such as packing services and materials

Costs depend on how much you store, access and location, and how long you need storage. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional charges (for example, long carries or difficult access) are discussed and agreed in advance.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Man-and-Van

Using a professional removals company for storage brings several advantages over hiring a van or using an ad-hoc service:

Expert packing and handling – Reduces the risk of damage, especially over longer storage periods.
Fully insured cover – Our policies are designed for removals and storage, with clear terms.
Single point of responsibility – We collect, store and redeliver, so there’s no confusion over who is accountable.
Proper inventories – You know exactly what’s in store and can request specific items back if needed.
Time and effort saved – No heavy lifting, no hiring vans, no shuttling back and forth to a self-storage unit.

Casual man-and-van operators often lack adequate insurance, proper equipment and training, which can cost you more in damage or inconvenience in the long run.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibility for your belongings seriously. As a professional removals and storage provider, we maintain:

Goods in transit insurance – Cover while your items are being moved to and from storage.
Public liability insurance – Protection for you and your property during our work on-site.
Trained moving teams – Staff are trained in safe lifting, packing, inventory management and storage techniques.

We’ll explain cover levels clearly and can often increase limits for particularly high-value consignments by prior agreement.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We want your belongings to come out of storage in the same condition they went in. That’s why we use quality protective materials, purpose-built removal blankets, furniture covers and secure containers. Our team stack and secure items to avoid crushing or movement.

We also work to reduce waste and environmental impact by reusing durable packing materials where appropriate, recycling cardboard and planning routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage. If you’d like advice on decluttering or responsible disposal of items before storage, we’re happy to help.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving house – Store your contents while you wait for completion, or phase your move in and out of temporary accommodation.
Office relocation – Keep non-essential equipment and archives off-site during a phased office move or refit.
Urgent moves – If a move date changes at short notice, we can store items quickly to bridge the gap.
Renovations – Protect furniture and belongings from dust and damage while builders are in.
Long-term travel – Students or professionals working abroad can store their UK belongings safely until they return.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with Removal Company cost?

Storage costs depend on three main factors: how much space you need, how long you need it for and the access involved at your property. We usually charge per storage container or by estimated volume, plus collection and redelivery. Our quotes are fully itemised, so you’ll see storage, labour and any packing costs separately. As a rough guide, storing the contents of a typical one- or two-bedroom flat is often more affordable than people expect, especially compared with self-storage once you factor in van hire and your own time.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage if my plans change?

Where possible, yes. Because we’re a removals company with our own vehicles and storage facilities, we can often react quickly to last-minute changes, chain collapses or urgent moves. Same-day or next-day storage is subject to availability, but we’ll always do our best to help. If your move date falls through on the day, we can usually load your goods as planned and place them into storage instead of delivering to the new property, then rearrange redelivery once you have a confirmed date.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance when being moved and by our storage cover while in the facility, subject to policy terms and any agreed value limits. We’ll explain the standard cover included in your quotation and offer options for increasing limits if you have particularly valuable items. It’s important that you declare high-value pieces in advance and keep your own home or business insurance provider informed, as some policies may offer additional protection or have specific requirements.

What’s included in your storage service?

Our storage service typically includes collection from your property by a trained removals crew, protective wrapping of furniture, loading, transport to our secure facility, containerised storage, and redelivery to your address when required. You can add packing services and materials if you prefer us to pack boxes as well. We maintain a clear inventory of your items so we know exactly what’s in store. You won’t need to hire vans or do any heavy lifting – we handle the entire process, from your front door into storage and back again.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van will usually just transport goods from A to B, with limited or no insurance, no formal inventory and no storage infrastructure. By contrast, we provide a managed, fully insured removals and storage service with professional equipment, trained staff, proper packing and documented processes. Your items are stored in secure, containerised units, not left in a garage or lock-up. If something does go wrong, there is a clear procedure for resolving issues. Overall, you gain greater peace of mind, accountability and protection for what you store.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For planned moves or renovations, booking one to four weeks in advance is ideal, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed and reserve the right number of containers and vehicles. However, we understand that plans can change quickly. If you need storage at short notice, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll check availability. We often accommodate last-minute requests, but early booking gives you the best choice of dates and smoother planning.
