Professional Storage Solutions in Brompton

Our storage service is designed to be simple, secure and predictable. We collect your items, pack and protect them, transport them to our facility, and return them when you are ready. As an experienced removals company, we handle every stage with care, from wrapping furniture to stacking in store so that nothing is crushed or damaged over time.

We offer:

• Short-term storage for days or weeks between moves
• Long-term storage for months or years during overseas work or extended projects
• Domestic storage for furniture, boxes and personal effects
• Business storage for stock, files, equipment and fixtures
• Student storage for term-time moves and holiday breaks

All storage moves are handled by our trained, uniformed teams and protected by goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for your peace of mind.

Local Expertise in Brompton

Working daily in Brompton and the surrounding areas, we understand the realities of local parking, narrow streets, controlled zones and building access rules. This local knowledge allows us to plan collections and returns efficiently, avoiding delays and disruption for you and your neighbours.

We coordinate with building managers and concierges where required, arrange suitable vehicle sizes for your street, and schedule work at times that minimise disturbance. Because we also provide full removals locally, we can combine your move and storage into a single, well-managed plan.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you are selling and need to declutter for viewings, storing furniture during renovations, or bridging a gap between completion dates. We pack, collect and store your possessions securely until your new home is ready.

Renters

If your tenancy dates do not line up, or you are moving into furnished accommodation, storage allows you to keep your belongings without paying for an extra property. We can deliver your goods directly to your next address once you have the keys.

Landlords

Landlords use our furniture storage for part-furnished properties, refurbishments and changeovers. We remove old furnishings, hold them securely and return what you need when your new tenants move in.

Businesses

Offices, retailers and small businesses use our business storage for excess stock, seasonal items, archived files and spare furniture. We provide inventory lists and can arrange phased returns to minimise disruption to trading.

Students

Students benefit from short-term storage over the summer or while studying abroad. Instead of transporting items home and back again, we collect from your halls or flat and redeliver when term starts.

What We Can and Cannot Store

Items Typically Included

• Household furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
• Boxes of personal belongings, books, clothing and kitchenware
• Electronics and appliances (clean, drained and disconnected)
• Business equipment, file boxes, promotional materials and stock
• Bikes, sports equipment and small garden tools (clean and dry)

Items We Cannot Store

• Perishable goods, food and plants
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including paint, fuel, gas bottles and chemicals)
• Illegal items or anything of questionable ownership
• Live animals or biological matter
• Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents – these are better kept in a bank or safe deposit

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you during your survey so there are no surprises on collection day.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with an outline of what you need to store and for how long. We ask a few questions about volume, access and timings, then provide a clear, no-obligation estimate. If you are combining storage with a move, we can quote for both together.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger volumes or complex access, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit. We assess how much space you will need, what packing materials are required and any access challenges, then confirm your storage plan and price.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the day, our professional team arrives with all necessary materials. We offer a full packing service, part-packing for fragile items, or we can simply collect pre-packed boxes. Furniture is wrapped in quilted covers and export-grade materials to protect it during handling and while in store.

4. Loading & Transport

We load your items systematically, creating an inventory as we go so that we know exactly what is in store. Everything is secured in our vehicles and transported to our storage facility under goods in transit insurance. At the warehouse, items are loaded into secure storage units or containers, stacked professionally to avoid pressure damage.

5. Unloading, Storage & Return Delivery

Your goods remain in our monitored facility for as long as you need. When you are ready for redelivery, simply contact us with your preferred date. We retrieve your items, load them carefully and deliver them to your new location, placing furniture and boxes in the rooms you specify.

Transparent Pricing for Storage in Brompton

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your overall cost is based on:

• The volume of goods (measured in cubic feet or metres)
• The level of service – collection only, collection and packing, and full move plus storage
• The duration of storage (weekly or monthly rates)
• Access requirements and distance for collection and redelivery

We provide a written quote before any work starts, detailing collection charges, storage charges and redelivery costs. There are no hidden fees for standard access or basic inventory. If your needs change, we will always discuss any price adjustments with you in advance.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY Options

Using a professional removals and storage company offers several advantages over a DIY approach or casual man-and-van:

• Trained handling of furniture and delicate items, reducing the risk of damage
• Proper packing materials and techniques for long-term storage
• Fully insured collection and transport with clear accountability
• Secure, monitored facilities rather than improvised or shared spaces
• Structured inventory management, so items do not go missing
• Professional vehicles suitable for Brompton’s streets and access constraints

Man-and-van services may be fine for single items, but for extended storage, a managed service with robust insurance and procedures is usually the safer and more economical choice in the long run.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. All storage moves are covered by:

• Goods in transit insurance during collection and redelivery
• Public liability cover for work in and around your property

Our crew members are trained in lifting techniques, packing, wrapping and safe loading. They work to established checklists and procedures, ensuring that your goods are handled consistently and carefully from start to finish. Policy details and limits are available on request, and we are happy to discuss additional cover for particularly high-value items where appropriate.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

From the moment we arrive, our focus is on protecting both your belongings and your property. We use floor coverings, door protectors and furniture blankets as needed, and we avoid dragging or forcing items through tight spaces.

We also take a practical approach to sustainability by:

• Reusing durable crates and protective covers wherever possible
• Recycling cardboard and packing materials responsibly
• Planning routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage

Our aim is to store your items in a way that keeps them in the same condition they arrived in, while minimising waste and unnecessary impact.

Common Real-World Storage Scenarios

Moving House with a Gap Between Dates

Many Brompton customers complete on their sale before their purchase is ready. We collect everything on removal day, hold it in storage for the required weeks, then deliver to the new address on your chosen date, so you only move once.

Office Refits and Relocations

Businesses use us to clear workspaces so that contractors can work freely. Desks, chairs and files are stored securely until the fit-out is complete, then returned and placed to plan, helping you get back to work quickly.

Urgent and Short-Notice Storage

Sometimes circumstances change at short notice – a sale falls through, a tenancy ends suddenly, or building work is delayed. Subject to availability, we can arrange urgent storage, often collecting within short timescales and providing temporary space until a longer-term plan is in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Brompton cost?

Costs depend mainly on the volume of items, the level of service you choose and how long you need storage for. We charge a collection fee based on labour and distance, then a weekly or monthly rate for the space your goods occupy. Redelivery is quoted separately so you know the full cost in advance. For smaller loads or shorter periods the price is often lower than people expect, especially compared with paying extra rent for unused space. We are always happy to provide a clear, written quote.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?

Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or short-notice storage in Brompton. This is particularly useful if a move falls through, a tenancy ends quickly or building work overruns. Call us as soon as you know you need help and we will confirm availability, costs and timing. While we cannot guarantee same-day slots every time, we will always try to offer a practical solution, even if that means an interim collection followed by transfer into longer-term storage when space is confirmed.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while we are moving them to and from our facility, and by our storage cover while in store, subject to policy terms. Our insurance is designed for typical household and business contents and includes reasonable limits per consignment. We will explain the cover in plain language and let you know if any specific items might need additional arrangements. You are also welcome to maintain your own insurance if preferred. Transparency around insurance is important to us, so please ask if anything is unclear.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes collection by a professional team, protective wrapping of furniture, transport to our facility, secure storage and basic inventory recording. When you are ready, it also includes redelivery to your chosen address on a pre-booked date. Optional extras include full or part packing of your boxes, dismantling and reassembly of furniture and additional protective materials for very delicate items. We tailor the package to your needs so you only pay for the services that genuinely help you.

How is your service different from a man-and-van or self-storage?

With us, you get a managed, end-to-end service rather than just transport or empty space. Our trained staff handle packing, loading, inventory and secure storage, backed by fully insured vehicles and facilities. With a casual man-and-van, you may be expected to do much of the lifting and packing yourself, and insurance or accountability can be limited. Self-storage usually requires you to arrange your own transport and handling. Many customers find that a professional service is safer, less stressful and often cost-effective once all factors are considered.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of dates and to allow proper planning, we recommend booking as soon as your timings are reasonably clear – typically one to three weeks in advance. However, we understand that plans change, so we will always try to accommodate last-minute requests where our schedule permits. If your dates are uncertain, we can pencil in provisional slots and confirm nearer the time. The earlier we discuss your situation, the more options we can usually offer, particularly during busy periods such as summer and month-ends.
