Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you’re selling, renovating, or decluttering before putting your property on the market, our storage is ideal for furniture, boxes, seasonal items, and valuables you want out of the way but kept secure. We regularly support chain delays by holding items between completion dates.

Renters

If you’re between tenancies or moving into a smaller place, we can store furniture, white goods, and personal belongings for as long as you need. This helps avoid rushing decisions about what to keep or getting rid of items you may later regret losing.

Landlords

Landlords often use our storage when changing tenants, refurbishing a property, or converting between furnished and unfurnished lets. We can remove, store, and later return furniture sets, appliances, and decor on a flexible schedule.

Businesses

Local businesses use our storage for surplus office furniture, archived files, stock, exhibition materials, and equipment. We can provide professional item inventories and scheduled access or redelivery, supporting office moves, refurbishments, and seasonal stock fluctuations.

Students

Students in and around Crofton Park benefit from short-term storage over the summer or while studying abroad. We collect from halls or shared houses, store everything safely, and then deliver back when term starts again, saving you the hassle of transporting items long distances.

What We Can Store

We can store most everyday household and office items, including:

• Furniture (beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs)
• Boxes of personal belongings and clothing
• Books, files, and paperwork (with suitable boxing)
• Domestic appliances (fridges, washing machines, microwaves)
• Office desks, chairs, cabinets, and equipment
• Sports equipment, bikes, and hobby items
• Decor, artwork, mirrors, and ornaments (with protection)

What We Cannot Store

For safety, legal, and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from storage. We cannot store:

• Perishable goods, food, or anything that may attract pests
• Flammable, explosive, or hazardous materials (e.g. fuel, paint, gas cylinders)
• Illegal items or anything prohibited by law
• Live plants or animals
• Cash, jewellery, or high-value personal documents best kept in a safe or bank
• Strongly scented items or chemicals that may damage other goods

If you are unsure about a specific item, we will advise before your booking to ensure everything is compliant and covered.

How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with your details, including what you need to store, addresses, and likely dates. We ask the right questions to understand volume, access, and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage, and re-delivery costs.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger moves, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey to confirm the volume and any tricky access issues like narrow staircases or restricted parking. This helps us send the right size vehicle, correct number of movers, and an accurate estimate of storage space required.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or we can offer a packing service using high-quality boxes and materials. On collection day, our team protect furniture with blankets, covers, and wrapping, and ensure delicate items are properly secured before loading. We can also dismantle and later reassemble larger pieces where needed.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained team carefully loads your belongings into our vehicles, using safe lifting techniques and securing items to prevent movement in transit. We then transport everything directly to our secure storage facility, minimising handling and the risk of damage.

5. Unloading & Placement in Storage

At the facility, we unload and place your items into your designated storage area, stacking and organising them for safe, stable storage. When you’re ready for redelivery, we reverse the process: collect from storage, transport back to your property, unload, and place items into the rooms you choose.

Transparent Pricing for Storage in Crofton Park

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our storage quotes typically include:

• Collection from your property (including labour and vehicle)
• Storage charges based on volume and duration
• Return delivery and unloading at your new or existing address

There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs (such as difficult access, extra packing, or special handling) are discussed upfront. Storage is usually charged monthly, with options for short-term and long-term arrangements depending on your needs.

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

Using a professional removals and storage company offers several advantages over hiring a casual man-and-van or handling everything yourself:

• Fully insured service with goods in transit and storage cover.
• Trained staff who understand packing, lifting, and loading safely.
• Proper protection materials and secure vehicle loading.
• Reliable timings and confirmed bookings, not last-minute cancellations.
• Structured inventory and organised storage, reducing the risk of loss.

DIY or unregulated man-and-van arrangements can lead to damage, disputes, and gaps in insurance cover. With us, you know exactly who is handling your belongings and how they are protected.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our duty of care seriously. Our storage and removals services are backed by:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being transported between your property and our facility.
• Public liability cover – protecting you and your property while we are working on-site.
• Trained moving teams – experienced staff using safe working practices and proper equipment.

We are committed to maintaining high standards of professionalism, punctuality, and communication from your first enquiry through to final delivery.

Care, Protection, and Sustainability

Your belongings are handled as if they were our own. We use clean protective blankets, mattress and sofa covers, and appropriate wrapping for delicate items. Boxes are stacked sensibly to avoid crushing, and heavy items are always placed at the bottom.

We also pay attention to sustainability, reusing strong cartons where possible, recycling materials responsibly, and planning routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage. Choosing a local Crofton Park company helps reduce travel distances, which benefits both you and the environment.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

Chains fall through, completion dates shift, and new builds get delayed. We regularly store full house contents for Crofton Park clients while they wait for keys, then deliver everything as soon as the property is ready, keeping your move on track.

Office Relocation or Refurbishment

Businesses use our storage during office moves, fit-outs, or downsizing. We can store complete workstations, IT equipment (packed by your IT team), and archives until the new space is ready, then deliver and place items in line with your floor plan.

Urgent or Short-Notice Situations

Sometimes you need storage at short notice: emergency repairs, unexpected tenancy changes, or last-minute travel. When capacity allows, we offer same-day or next-day collection and storage, helping you deal quickly with unplanned events.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Crofton Park cost?

Costs depend on three main factors: how much you store, how long you store it for, and the collection/delivery details. We usually calculate prices based on the volume of your goods (in cubic feet or metres), plus the labour and transport needed. Storage is then charged as a monthly fee, with discounts sometimes available for longer-term bookings. Once we’ve discussed your items and access, we provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what you’ll pay before you commit.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?

Where our schedule and storage capacity allow, we can often provide same-day or next-day collection into storage. This is particularly useful for urgent situations such as unexpected eviction notices, water damage, or last-minute completion dates. The sooner you contact us, the better the chance we can allocate a vehicle and team. Urgent work is planned with the same level of care as standard bookings, but we may suggest flexible time windows to fit you into an already busy route.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved, and by our storage insurance while they are in our facility, subject to our terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover for work at your property. We’ll explain the cover limits and any exclusions before you book so you can decide whether to arrange any additional personal cover for unusually high-value items or specialist goods.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard service includes collection from your address, loading by a professional team, transport to our secure facility, and safe placement into storage. When you’re ready, it also includes redelivery and unloading at your chosen address. We provide protective blankets for furniture as standard. Optional extras include full or partial packing services, supply of packing materials, and dismantling/reassembly of larger items. Everything included will be clearly listed on your written quotation before you confirm.

How is this different from a basic man-and-van or self-storage?

A basic man-and-van usually offers transport only, with limited or no insurance, and often expects you to arrange your own storage unit and do the loading yourself. With us, you get a fully insured, end-to-end service: we plan, protect, load, transport, and store your belongings using trained removals staff. You don’t need to manage separate storage contracts or worry about whether your items are properly stacked and secured in the unit.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For planned moves, we recommend booking as soon as your dates are roughly known, ideally 2–4 weeks in advance. This gives us time to arrange surveys, vehicles, and team members, and to reserve the right amount of storage space for you. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we do our best to accommodate short-notice requests. Even if your dates are not fixed, getting a provisional quote early helps you budget and secure availability.
