Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you are between house moves, decluttering before putting your property on the market, or renovating and need furniture out of the way. We can store whole-house contents or just a few bulky items.

Renters

Perfect if your tenancy dates don’t line up, you’re relocating temporarily, or you simply don’t have enough space in your flat. We offer flexible short-term and rolling monthly storage options.

Landlords

Store furniture during refurbishments, void periods or while you switch between furnished and unfurnished lets. We can collect from one property and later deliver to another, saving you time and hassle.

Businesses

Our storage is well suited to stock, archive documents, exhibition materials, spare furniture and seasonal items. We offer reliable collections and returns, including during business hours to minimise disruption.

Students in Earls Court and nearby universities can store belongings over holidays, gap years or placement periods. We collect from halls or private accommodation and deliver back when term starts.

How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with details of what you need to store, your property type in Earls Court and your preferred dates. We’ll estimate the storage volume and collection requirements, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and redelivery.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger jobs, we may arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us confirm access, assess the volume accurately and identify any special requirements such as dismantling furniture or dealing with restricted staircases. Accurate surveys mean correct van sizes, team numbers and timings on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or choose our packing service. If we pack, our team will bring quality materials, protect fragile items and prepare everything for safe storage. We also use furniture blankets, mattress bags and specialist covers to protect your belongings.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

On the day, our trained team will carefully load your items, securing them in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We then transport everything directly to our chosen storage facility, where your goods are checked in and placed safely into the allocated storage unit or container.

5. Unloading & Placement into Storage

At the facility, we unload and stack your items systematically for stability and ease of future access. We keep an inventory where required, so we know exactly what has gone into storage. When you’re ready, we reverse the process, loading from storage and delivering back to your new or existing address.

Transparent Storage Pricing

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

• Collection from your Earls Court property (labour and vehicle)
• Protective materials and basic wrapping for transport
• Weekly or monthly storage charges based on volume
• Redelivery back to your chosen address when required

Rates depend on the volume of items, access conditions, distance and length of storage. There are no hidden fees; any optional extras, such as packing services or additional insurance, are clearly listed in advance.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY?

Hiring a professional storage and removals company offers several advantages over arranging self-storage and doing the heavy lifting yourself:

• We handle all lifting, carrying and loading, reducing the risk of injury or damage.
• Our trained teams know how to pack vehicles safely and efficiently.
• Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we move them.
• You don’t have to drive a large van through busy Earls Court streets or worry about parking.
• We coordinate timings, access and any necessary building or parking permissions.

For most customers, the additional safety, convenience and protection easily outweigh the apparent savings of a DIY approach.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We operate to professional removals standards, with robust protections in place:

• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being moved between your property and storage.
• Public liability cover for peace of mind at your home, office or building.
• Trained and experienced moving teams who use industry-best practices.

Details of cover limits and terms are available on request, and we are always happy to explain how protection applies to your particular job.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped and secured, fragile items are clearly identified and handled with additional care, and we take time to plan the safest way to move each piece.

We also aim to reduce waste where possible, reusing durable packing materials, recycling cartons and minimising unnecessary journeys. Our teams are trained to load efficiently, reducing the number of trips and associated emissions.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

If your completion dates don’t align, or you’re downsizing and not yet sure what will fit, storage bridges the gap. We can move your essentials directly to the new property and place the rest into storage until you decide.

Office Relocation

Businesses often need temporary storage when changing premises, refurbishing or introducing hybrid working. We can store desks, chairs, filing and surplus equipment, returning it in phases as your new layout is finalised.

Urgent and Short-Notice Storage

Sometimes storage is needed quickly – a last-minute move, a burst pipe, or unexpected building works. Subject to availability, we can offer rapid collections in Earls Court and fast access to storage, helping you deal with urgent situations calmly and efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with collection and delivery cost?

Costs depend on three main factors: the volume of items, the labour required to move them, and how long you need storage. We’ll estimate the cubic footage of your goods, then apply a weekly or monthly storage rate, plus collection and eventual redelivery charges. Small loads for a few weeks can be very cost-effective, while whole-house contents stored for several months will cost more. We always provide a clear written quote before you book, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage in Earls Court?

Where diary and storage capacity allow, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice collections in Earls Court. This is particularly helpful for emergency situations, last-minute tenancy changes or unexpected building issues. The more notice you can give us, the better the chance we can allocate the right team and vehicle. If you need urgent storage, call us as early as possible in the day with full details so we can check availability and offer realistic time windows.

Are my belongings insured while in storage and during transport?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved between your property and the storage facility. We also hold public liability cover for work on-site at your home or business. Storage facilities themselves have their own insurance arrangements, and we can explain how these apply to you. For particularly high-value items, additional cover may be advisable; we’ll happily discuss options and any limits or exclusions so you can make an informed decision before proceeding.

What exactly is included in your storage service?

Our standard service includes collection from your Earls Court address, careful loading, transport to storage and unloading into the storage unit or container. Basic protection such as furniture blankets and securing of items in the vehicle is included as standard. Storage charges cover the secure unit space and normal facility access. Optional extras include full or part packing services, specialist materials and additional insurance for high-value items. Redelivery from storage back to your chosen address is quoted separately at the outset, so the full cost is transparent.

How is this different from hiring a casual man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van service may be cheaper on paper, but often lacks the professional standards, training and insurance that our customers rely on. We provide trained teams, proper protective equipment, clear paperwork and confirmed booking times. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance, and we have public liability cover in case anything goes wrong on-site. We also plan the job thoroughly, liaise with storage facilities and manage access. The result is a safer, more reliable and more accountable service from start to finish.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy moving periods such as the end of the month or summer. That said, we understand that plans can change quickly in Earls Court, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. As soon as you know you may need storage, get in touch with approximate dates and volumes. We can then pencil in availability and firm up details closer to the time.
