Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Decluttering before a sale, downsizing or renovating? We can collect furniture, boxes, white goods and seasonal items and store them safely until you’re ready for them back.

Renters

If your tenancy dates don’t quite line up, or you’re moving between flats, our storage gives you a safe, fully insured option so you don’t need to rush or compromise on your next place.

Landlords

We help landlords in Brompton by storing furniture between tenancies, holding cleared items during refurbishments, or managing partial moves when changing from furnished to unfurnished lets.

Businesses

From archive boxes and marketing materials to spare desks and IT equipment, we provide flexible business storage with organised inventory and scheduled access or redelivery when you need it.

Students

Students moving out of halls or shared houses can store belongings over summer or during placements. We collect from your accommodation and redeliver when term starts, avoiding the need to cart everything home.

What We Can Store

We handle a wide range of household and business items, including:

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other furniture
• Boxes of clothes, books, ornaments and personal items
• Kitchen appliances and small electricals (clean and dry)
• Office furniture, filing cabinets and archive cartons
• IT equipment, monitors and peripherals (properly packed)
• Bikes and sports equipment
• Artwork and mirrors (with appropriate packing)

What We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items cannot go into storage:

• Perishable or open food and drink
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (e.g. paint, gas bottles, chemicals)
• Illegal items or anything obtained unlawfully
• Live plants or animals
• Cash, jewellery and other high-value personal documents (these are best kept with you)
• Any item that is damp, infested or likely to cause damage to other goods

If you are unsure about a particular item, ask us in advance and we will advise you.

How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us with a brief description of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask a few questions about volume, access and timing, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger loads or more complex situations, we arrange a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to estimate the storage space accurately, plan resources, and identify any access issues, ensuring there are no surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own items, or choose our professional packing service. We use quality materials, label everything clearly, and prepare an inventory where required. Furniture is wrapped to protect it during handling and time in store.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained team arrive on time, protect floors and communal areas as needed, then carefully load your belongings onto our vehicles. Everything is secured for transit and transported directly to our storage facility.

5. Storage, Unloading & Placement

At the facility, your items are unloaded into allocated storage areas or containers. We stack and store efficiently while keeping access in mind for future retrieval. When your storage period ends, we arrange a convenient redelivery slot and place items in the rooms you specify.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will typically include:

• Collection and loading costs
• Weekly or monthly storage fees based on volume
• Optional packing materials and packing service
• Redelivery charges from storage back to your property

There are no hidden extras. If your storage needs change – for example, you extend or reduce the term – we adjust your charges accordingly and explain any differences in advance.

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

Using a casual man-and-van and a cheap unit might look cheaper at first, but it often leads to damage, poor packing and difficulty accessing your things later. With a professional service like ours, you benefit from:

• Trained staff who know how to handle and stack goods safely
• Coordinated collection, storage and redelivery under one point of contact
• Organised loading so that your items are accessible when needed
• Fully insured transport and storage provision in line with industry standards

The result is fewer breakages, less hassle and a smoother experience from start to finish.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Our services include:

• Goods in transit insurance covering your items while they are being moved
• Public liability cover for work carried out in and around your property
• Trained moving teams following recognised handling and safety practices

We work to clear, professional procedures for inventory, labelling and handling, giving you confidence that your possessions are stored correctly and can be located and returned when you need them.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We handle every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped, fragile boxes are marked and stacked appropriately, and heavier goods are positioned safely to avoid crushing or distortion over time. Where possible, we use reusable crates and durable, recyclable materials to reduce waste.

By planning loads efficiently and combining collections or deliveries where practical, we also reduce unnecessary vehicle miles, supporting a more sustainable way of working.

Common Real-World Storage Scenarios

Moving House with a Gap in Completion Dates

If you’ve sold in Brompton but your new property isn’t quite ready, we can empty your current home, store everything securely, then deliver on the day you get the keys.

Office Refits and Relocations

Businesses undertaking refurbishments or relocations use our storage for desks, chairs, stock and files, allowing work to continue in a clearer, safer environment.

Urgent or Last-Minute Storage

Life doesn’t always go to plan. When you need storage at short notice – an unexpected move, building issues, or a change in circumstances – our local presence in Brompton means we can often respond quickly, subject to availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Brompton cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you need it for, and whether you require collection and redelivery. We price by volume rather than by room, so you only pay for the space you actually use. After a quick discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote that sets out collection, weekly or monthly storage charges, and redelivery. There are no hidden fees, and we’re happy to tailor options to suit your budget and timeframe.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?

Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-day or next-day storage collections in Brompton. This is particularly useful if a sale completes faster than expected, a tenancy ends suddenly, or building works overrun. Call us as soon as you know you need urgent storage and we’ll confirm what we can offer. We prioritise clear communication, so if we can’t meet your exact time, we’ll propose the nearest practical solution and explain how best to prepare your items.

Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance while we’re moving your belongings, and standard cover while they are in store, subject to our terms and conditions. We’ll outline the level of cover included as part of your quote, along with any options to increase cover for particularly valuable items. It’s important that you tell us about high-value pieces in advance so we can advise properly. We also hold public liability cover for work at your property, giving you added protection.

What’s included in your storage service?

Our storage service can be as simple or as comprehensive as you need. At its core, it includes collection by a trained team, secure transport to our storage facility, careful unloading into storage, and redelivery at the end of your term. You can add professional packing, supply of boxes and materials, and inventory lists if required. We also offer flexible access or partial redeliveries by arrangement. Your quote will spell out exactly what’s included so you can make an informed choice.

How is this different from a basic man-and-van to a self-storage unit?

With a basic man-and-van, you often have to arrange everything yourself: booking a unit, estimating the space, packing, and then hoping your items are loaded and stacked safely. Our service is fully coordinated. We assess your needs, collect, protect and store your items within a managed environment, and keep records so nothing is overlooked. You benefit from professional handling, structured insurance, and a single point of contact from start to finish, rather than piecing together separate services.

How far in advance should I book storage?

Ideally, book as soon as you know you’ll need storage, especially during busy moving periods such as the end of the month or summer. A week or two’s notice usually allows us to offer the best choice of dates and times. However, we understand that circumstances can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. Even if your dates aren’t confirmed, it’s worth getting in touch early so we can pencil you in and discuss options.
