Perfect for tenants between rentals, moving in with a partner, or heading abroad for work or travel. Keep your furniture in our secure units so you don’t have to sell and rebuy every time your circumstances change.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with a brief description of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few simple questions about access, property type and volume of furniture. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining collection costs, storage charges and any optional services, such as packing.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger loads or more complex properties, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us assess access, parking, lift use and the exact volume of furniture. It also allows us to identify any items needing special handling, such as antiques or glass-fronted cabinets.
3. Packing & Preparation
On collection day, our trained team brings professional-grade covers, blankets and materials. We can provide a full packing service, or simply wrap and protect furniture you have already prepared. Mattresses, sofas and polished surfaces are covered, and delicate pieces are additionally protected to minimise the risk of scuffs, dents or dust while in storage.
4. Loading & Transport
Your items are carefully carried to our vehicles, loaded securely and protected with transit blankets and webbing. Our vehicles are purpose-equipped for removals, and our crews are experienced in handling heavy and awkward furniture safely. Once loaded, we transport everything directly to our storage facility, avoiding unnecessary handling.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the warehouse, we unload, check and place your furniture into your designated storage space. We keep an inventory so we know exactly what is stored. When you are ready for redelivery, we reverse the process: collect from storage, transport and position furniture in your new or existing property as instructed.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing so you know where you stand from the outset. Our furniture storage costs typically consist of:
- A one-off collection fee, based on time, crew size and access
- A weekly or monthly storage fee, based on volume (how much space your furniture occupies)
- Optional packing or dismantling/reassembly services
There are no hidden extras for standard access and normal handling. Any potential additional charges, such as difficult access or out-of-hours work, are discussed and agreed in advance so there are no surprises.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Using a professional storage and removals company offers several important advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:
- Fully insured for both goods in transit and public liability, giving you proper protection if something goes wrong.
- Trained teams who know how to dismantle, wrap, carry and stack furniture safely.
- Purpose-equipped vehicles, blankets and covers designed for moving furniture, not just general transport.
- Proper inventories and record-keeping so you know what is in storage and can retrieve it when needed.
- Reduced risk of damage, personal injury and disputes, compared with informal arrangements.
While DIY or casual options can appear cheaper at first glance, the cost of damage, lost items or injury can easily outweigh any savings. Professional storage is about peace of mind as much as convenience.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your furniture is protected throughout its time with us. We maintain:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while they are being moved between your property and our warehouse.
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property during our work on site.
- Fully insured storage facilities with appropriate security and fire protection measures.
Our crews are trained in safe lifting techniques, packing, and handling delicate items. We work to industry best practice, with clear procedures for documentation, storage and redelivery.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your furniture as if it were our own. Every item is carefully handled, wrapped and placed to minimise stress on joints, fabrics and finishes. We use reusable transit blankets and durable covers wherever possible, reducing waste compared with single-use packing materials.
Where we do use cardboard and plastics, we aim to source recyclable and responsibly produced materials. Our routing and scheduling are planned to reduce unnecessary mileage, helping to cut emissions while maintaining a reliable service across Earlsfield and South West London.
Typical Real-World Use Cases
Moving House
If completion dates don’t line up or you are temporarily moving into rented accommodation, our furniture storage provides a secure stopgap. We can collect from your old home, store for as long as needed, then deliver directly to your new property.
Office Relocation or Refurbishment
Businesses use our service to store surplus desks, meeting tables and filing units during refurbishments or when moving to flexible or serviced offices. We can stagger collections and redeliveries to align with your fit-out schedule, reducing disruption.
Urgent Moves and Emergencies
Sometimes circumstances change quickly – a sale completes faster than expected, a relationship change, or an urgent need to clear a property. Subject to availability, we can provide rapid collection and short-notice storage solutions to give you breathing space.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Earlsfield cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space your furniture occupies and how long you need storage. There is usually a one-off collection charge, plus a weekly or monthly storage fee. As a guide, storing the contents of a typical one-bedroom flat will cost less than a full three-bedroom house, because the volume is smaller. We always provide a clear written quotation before you commit, detailing collection, storage and any optional packing or dismantling services, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where our schedule and warehouse capacity allow, we can often help with same-day or short-notice collections in Earlsfield and nearby areas. This is particularly useful for urgent house sales, landlord requirements or unexpected situations. The more notice you can give us, the better the chance of securing your ideal time slot, but if you are in a hurry, call us and we will do our best to fit you in and outline any additional costs for out-of-hours or rapid-response work.
Are my items insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance while your furniture is being moved between properties and our warehouse, plus appropriate cover while it is stored with us. We also hold public liability insurance for work carried out at your home or business. We will explain the level of standard cover included and, if needed, can discuss additional cover for particularly high-value items. For full peace of mind, we recommend you also check your own home or business policy, as some insurers offer complementary protection.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
Our core service includes professional collection, careful loading, transport to our storage facility and secure storage in our units. We provide basic protection such as transit blankets and covers for your furniture, and maintain an inventory of stored items. Optional extras include full packing, dismantling and reassembly of larger pieces, specialist protection for delicate or antique items, and redelivery to a new address when you are ready. We tailor the service to your needs so you only pay for the level of help you actually require.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without proper insurance, professional packing or secure storage. By contrast, we provide an end-to-end service with trained crews, fully insured handling, purpose-equipped vehicles and monitored storage facilities. We use professional-grade covers and materials to protect your furniture, keep detailed records of what we store, and operate under clear terms and standards. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes and gives you a single, accountable provider from collection through to redelivery.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
During busy periods, such as late spring and summer, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. For off-peak periods, we can often accommodate shorter notice. If your plans are still taking shape, it is worth contacting us early so we can pencil in provisional dates and advise on likely availability. Even if you need storage urgently, it is always worth calling – we will explain our current capacity and offer the most practical options.
