Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

If you're selling, renovating or decluttering, storage can make life easier. Many North Sheen homeowners use us to store furniture and boxes while they present their home for sale or carry out building work. We can store part or all of your household contents for as long as needed.

Renters

For tenants between tenancies, travelling abroad or moving into furnished accommodation, storage is often the simplest option. We collect from your flat or house, keep your belongings safe, and deliver them to your new place when you're ready.

Landlords

Landlords often need temporary storage when changing between furnished and unfurnished lets, or when carrying out refurbishments. We can store furniture, white goods and contents between tenancies, helping you keep properties clear and tidy.

Businesses

Local businesses use our storage to free up space in offices, shops and workspaces. We store documents, archived files, excess stock, seasonal displays, spare furniture and equipment. Collections can be scheduled outside working hours to minimise disruption.

Students

Students studying in and around North Sheen often require short-term storage over holidays or gap years. We can collect from halls or shared houses, store your belongings safely, and bring them back when term starts again.

What We Can Store

Our storage service covers most household and office items, including:

• Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
• Boxes and personal effects
• Clothing, books and household items
• Office furniture and equipment
• Archived documents and files
• Sports equipment and hobby items
• Non-perishable stock and displays

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot store:

• Perishable food or plants
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials
• Gas bottles, fuel or chemicals
• Illegal goods or stolen property
• Live animals or any living organisms
• Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable items such as original artwork

If you are unsure about a particular item, we are happy to advise before collection.

How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with a list or rough idea of what you need to store, where from, and for how long. We ask a few questions to understand access and volume. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger jobs, we recommend a short virtual video survey or an onsite visit. This helps us accurately assess the volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any special requirements, such as fragile or bulky items. A proper survey avoids surprises on the day and ensures the correct crew size and vehicle are allocated.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own belongings into boxes, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our team use quality materials to protect furniture and fragile items for storage, including covers, blankets and bubble wrap. Everything is clearly labelled so it can be easily identified and returned in the correct rooms later.

4. Loading & Transport

On collection day, our trained team arrive at the agreed time, protect floors and walls where needed, and carefully load your items. All goods are transported in our fully insured vehicles to our secure storage facility, with loads tied and padded to prevent movement in transit.

5. Unloading & Placement into Storage

At the storage facility, your belongings are unloaded, checked against an inventory and placed in clean, dry units. Items are stored off the ground and stacked safely. When you are ready for redelivery, we reverse the process, bringing everything back and placing it in the rooms you specify.

Transparent Pricing for Storage

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will set out:

• Collection charges – based on time, crew size and distance
• Storage charges – typically a weekly or monthly rate dependent on volume
• Optional services – such as professional packing, packing materials or disposal of unwanted items
• Redelivery costs – so you know the full cost from the outset

There are no hidden fees. If your requirements change – for example, you need storage for longer than expected – we explain any cost adjustments clearly before proceeding.

Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

Hiring a cheap van or an unregulated man-and-van may appear cost-effective, but it often leads to problems: inadequate protection, poor handling, no proper inventory and limited or no insurance. In contrast, our professional storage service offers:

• Trained staff experienced in moving and storing goods
• Correct equipment and packing materials
• Reliable vehicles and secure facilities
• Documented inventories for peace of mind
• Clear accountability if anything goes wrong

For most people, the cost difference is modest, but the reduction in risk and hassle is significant.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are valuable, both financially and emotionally. That’s why our service is backed by:

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while being moved between your property and the storage facility
• Public liability cover – protects you and your property while our team is working on site
• Trained moving teams – staff are experienced in safe lifting, packing and storage techniques

We work to recognised industry standards for handling, loading and storing goods, and we keep our vehicles and equipment well maintained at all times.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your possessions as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are bagged, and fragile items are cushioned and labelled. During loading and unloading, we take care to protect walls, doors and floors where required.

We also take a practical approach to sustainability. Where possible, we reuse robust packing materials, minimise unnecessary journeys through efficient route planning, and recycle cardboard and other waste. Our storage spaces are managed to reduce wasted space and energy use, without compromising on safety or cleanliness.

Real-World Uses of Our Storage in North Sheen

Moving House

Buyers and sellers often face gaps between completion dates. Our combined removals and storage service keeps your belongings safe in the interim. We collect from your old home, store everything securely, and deliver to your new property when the keys are ready.

Office Relocation

Businesses moving office sometimes need to decant furniture and files in stages. We can store surplus items while fit-out work is completed or while you decide what to keep. This helps keep new offices clearer and makes the move more manageable.

Urgent or Last-Minute Storage

Occasionally, storage is needed at short notice – a sale completes faster than expected, a tenancy ends, or building work overruns. Subject to availability, we can arrange same-day or next-day collections in North Sheen, giving you a safe place for your belongings without panic or rushed decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in North Sheen cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you need it for, and the distance and time involved in collection and redelivery. We usually price storage on a weekly or monthly basis, with discounts for longer-term bookings. Collection and return are charged separately, based on crew size and time on site. Once we know what you have and your dates, we provide a detailed quote so you can see exactly what you’ll pay before you commit.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?

Yes, where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day storage in North Sheen. This is particularly useful if a sale completes early, a tenancy ends suddenly, or building work is delayed. The earlier you contact us, the better the chance we can accommodate you at your preferred time. For urgent jobs, we’ll give you a realistic timescale, confirm availability of crews and vehicles, and explain any additional charges that may apply for short-notice bookings.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from storage, and our own policy covers our responsibilities while they are in our care. We’ll explain the key terms, including any limits or exclusions, as part of your quote. If you have particularly high-value items, we may recommend you also inform your own contents insurer. We maintain public liability cover to protect you and your property while our team is working at your premises.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard service includes collection from your property, loading by a trained team, transport in our fully insured vehicles, secure storage in a clean, dry facility, and redelivery at the end of the storage period. We provide basic blankets and protective coverings for furniture. Optional extras include professional packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and disposal of unwanted items by prior agreement. All inclusions and options are clearly listed in your written quote.

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

A casual man-and-van typically focuses on transport only, with limited protection for goods and little or no responsibility once items are dropped off. Our service combines professional removals expertise with secure, managed storage. We use trained staff, proper materials, documented inventories and full insurance to safeguard your belongings throughout. We also plan collections and returns carefully, coordinate with your move dates, and provide one point of contact, avoiding the uncertainty that often comes with ad-hoc operators.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For planned moves or refurbishments, it’s sensible to book at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer or month-end. This allows time for a survey, accurate quoting and scheduling the right crew. However, we understand that circumstances can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. Even if your dates are not fixed, it’s worth getting in touch early so we can pencil you in and update the booking as your plans firm up.
