Who Our Household Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you're selling, buying, or renovating, storage can bridge the gap. Store furniture and personal items while you complete a chain, replace flooring, or redecorate, without filling every spare room or garage.
Renters
For tenants moving between rentals, travelling, or working away from home, our storage helps you keep your possessions safe and accessible without committing to a larger or more expensive property.
Landlords
Landlords often need to store furniture and appliances between tenancies, during refurbishments, or when switching from furnished to unfurnished lets. We provide reliable, itemised storage so you always know what is being held and where.
Businesses
Smaller businesses and home workers use our household storage for surplus furniture, seasonal items, stock, samples and archived files. We can combine office removals with storage for a complete relocation solution.
Students
Students moving home for the summer or going on placement can store belongings safely instead of moving everything back and forth. Share a unit with friends to reduce costs further.
What You Can Store with Us
Included Items
Most typical household and light business items can be stored safely, provided they are clean, dry and properly packed. Common items include:
- Sofas, armchairs, tables, beds and wardrobes
- Bookshelves, cabinets, desks and office furniture
- Boxes of clothing, books, documents and personal effects
- TVs, computers and general household electronics
- Kitchenware, ornaments, pictures and mirrors
- Sports equipment, hobby items and small tools
- Baby equipment and children’s toys
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we are unable to accept into storage:
- Perishable or open food and drink
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, solvents, fireworks)
- Illegal items or goods of dubious origin
- Live animals, plants or anything requiring a controlled environment
- Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents (these are better in a safe or bank deposit)

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you clearly before collection.
How Our Household Storage Service Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or through our online form. We ask a few straightforward questions about what you need to store, how long for, and whether you require collection and eventual redelivery. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, including any removals, packing, and storage fees.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger consignments, we recommend a short video or onsite survey in Enfield Highway or nearby areas. This lets us see access, parking, stairs and lifts, and accurately estimate the storage volume. It prevents surprises on the day and helps us allocate the right size vehicle, team, and unit so your belongings fit comfortably and safely.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or use our professional packing service. If we pack for you, we use quality double-walled boxes, wrapping materials and furniture covers, clearly labelling contents and rooms. Delicate items are individually wrapped and cushioned. Mattresses and sofas are protected to avoid marks during handling and storage.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
On collection day, our trained removals team arrives at the agreed time, protects floors where needed, and loads everything carefully. Items are secured in the vehicle to prevent movement. We then transport your goods directly to our storage facility, where everything is itemised and placed in your allocated unit.
5. Unloading, Storage & Final Placement
At the facility, goods are unloaded methodically, with heavier items at the bottom and lighter boxes on top. We maintain an inventory for larger moves so you can easily check what is in storage. When you are ready to have your items delivered, we reverse the process, placing furniture and boxes into the correct rooms at your new address.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Costs are typically made up of:
- Collection and delivery/removal charges (based on time, distance and team size)
- Storage unit size (measured by volume or square footage)
- Duration of storage (weekly or monthly rates, with discounts for longer terms)
- Optional extras such as packing services and packing materials
Your written quote will show exactly what is included, any optional services, and how extending or shortening your storage term affects cost. There are no hidden charges, and we explain access arrangements and notice periods in plain language.
Why Use Professional Storage & Removals Instead of DIY?
Using a professional, fully insured storage and removals company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:
- Correct vehicle size and safe loading techniques, reducing the risk of damage
- Trained staff used to handling furniture, appliances and fragile items
- Access to secure, purpose-built storage rather than sheds, garages or makeshift spaces
- Written contracts and clear insurance cover if something goes wrong
- Time-saving – we handle lifting, packing (if requested), and logistics
- Less physical strain and lower risk of personal injury
DIY or casual operators can seem cheaper at first glance, but the cost of damage, lost items, or poor security can quickly outweigh any initial saving.
Insurance & Professional Standards
As a responsible storage and removals provider, we maintain robust insurance and working standards to protect you and your belongings.
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while being moved between your home and our storage facility.
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property if an accident occurs during our work.
- Trained, professional teams – staff are instructed in safe lifting, loading, and handling techniques, as well as customer care.
We provide documentation explaining the level of cover, any limits, and what is expected in terms of packing and declarations for higher-value items.
Care, Protection & Sustainability
Your possessions may have financial or sentimental value, so we treat them accordingly. We use protective coverings, padding and tie-downs in vehicles and ensure storage units are clean, dry and well maintained. Items are stacked to avoid crushing, and fragile boxes are clearly marked.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Where possible, we source recyclable packing materials, reuse cartons that remain in good condition, and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. Customers are encouraged to return used boxes so they can be recycled or repurposed.
Real-World Ways Our Clients Use Household Storage
Moving House
Chains do not always line up neatly. We often store full or partial house contents while clients wait for completion dates, freeing them to move out on time without rushing decisions about what to keep or discard.
Office and Home-Office Relocations
When offices or home workspaces are reconfigured, storage gives breathing space. Spare desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment can be held securely until the new layout is finalised or a new premises is ready.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Occasionally, clients need to vacate a property at short notice due to work changes, family circumstances or landlord requirements. Our storage service allows you to move out quickly while keeping your belongings safe until plans settle.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does household storage cost?
Costs depend primarily on the space you need, how long you store for, and whether you require collection and delivery. Smaller units suitable for a few items or boxes are naturally cheaper than storing the contents of a full house. We price storage weekly or monthly, with better rates for longer terms. Collection and redelivery are quoted separately based on distance, time and team size. We will always provide a clear, written quotation so you understand exactly what you are paying for before you commit.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in Enfield Highway?
Where we have availability, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage, particularly for smaller loads. If you need urgent help, call us as early as possible so we can check unit and vehicle availability and schedule a team. Even on urgent jobs, we still carry out basic checks on access and item types to ensure everything can be moved and stored safely. While we cannot guarantee same-day space every time, we will always be honest about what is possible and suggest alternatives if needed.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance while we are moving your items and hold appropriate cover for goods stored within our facility, subject to policy terms and declared values. We will explain the level of cover, including any single item limits or exclusions, before you book. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may ask for additional details or recommend specialist cover. Our aim is that you understand exactly how your possessions are protected so you can store them with confidence.
What is included in your household storage service?
As standard, we provide a clean, secure unit in our facility, basic inventory for larger consignments, and agreed access or redelivery arrangements. Most customers choose to combine storage with our removals service, which includes collection from your property, careful loading, transport, and unloading into your unit. We also offer optional packing services, supply of boxes and wrapping, and final delivery from storage to your new address when you are ready. Your quote will set out clearly what is and is not included so there are no surprises.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without formal insurance, training or secure storage. Our service is comprehensive and professional. We provide fully insured moves, purpose-built storage units, written contracts, and trained teams experienced in handling furniture and fragile items. We also offer proper packing materials, inventory options and scheduled redelivery. In practice, this means less risk of damage, better security for your belongings, and a much clearer understanding of responsibilities and costs from the outset.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For the best choice of unit size and collection dates, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy moving periods such as late summer and month-ends. However, we understand that circumstances change, and we will always try to accommodate shorter-notice bookings. Once you have approximate dates, it is sensible to reserve space; we can usually adjust timings if your plans move slightly. Speaking to us early also helps us advise you on preparation and packing, which can save time and money on the day.
