Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you’re between sale and purchase, staging your home for viewings or renovating. Store furniture, white goods, seasonal items and family keepsakes safely out of the way until you’re ready for them.

Renters

Perfect for tenancy gaps, relocating for work, or moving in with a partner. Avoid rushing into unsuitable accommodation just to keep your belongings under one roof.

Landlords

Use storage while refreshing a property between tenants, or to hold furnishings from part-furnished lets. We can collect, store and redeliver as tenancies change.

Businesses

Free up valuable office or retail space by placing surplus furniture, archived files, stock or exhibition materials into secure storage. Flexible access and planned redelivery keep disruption to a minimum.

Students

Heading home for the summer or going on placement? Our smaller storage options are ideal for personal belongings, books, clothes and small furniture, without the cost of a full unit.

  • Boxes of clothes, books, toys and personal items
  • Office furniture, IT equipment (properly packed) and documents
  • Sports equipment, bikes and hobby items

How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with details of what you need to store, your addresses in and around Colliers Wood and your timescales. We ask a few focused questions to understand volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any fragile or high-value items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger properties or business moves, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to measure volume accurately, assess access and identify any special handling requirements. Accurate surveying avoids last-minute surprises and ensures we allocate the right number of staff, storage containers and vehicles.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose full packing, part packing or to pack yourself. Where we pack, our trained crews use quality materials and label boxes clearly for storage. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are protected, and fragile items are packed with care. Everything is inventoried so we know exactly what is in storage and where it is located.

4. Loading & Transport

On collection day we arrive at the agreed time, protect floors and walls where needed, and carefully load your belongings. Items are transported in our specialist removals vehicles under goods in transit insurance. On arrival at our storage facility, your goods are placed into sealed containers or allocated storage areas, logged against your inventory.

5. Storage, Unloading & Placement on Return

Your belongings remain in secure storage for as long as you need. When it’s time for redelivery, we schedule a convenient date, load your items and transport them to your new address. We then unload, place furniture in the rooms you specify and reassemble items we dismantled, helping you settle in quickly and with minimal effort.

Transparent Pricing for Storage in Colliers Wood

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Storage costs are usually based on:

  • Volume of goods (measured in cubic feet or metres)
  • Length of storage period
  • Collection and redelivery addresses and access
  • Any packing services or materials required

We set out all charges in writing before you book, so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden fees for standard access or basic insurance cover. If your needs change, we can adjust your plan and explain any cost implications clearly before proceeding.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?

Using a professional removals and storage company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or hiring an informal man-and-van service. We provide:

  • Trained crews who know how to handle, wrap and stack items safely
  • Purpose-built vehicles with securing points, blankets and equipment
  • Fully insured services, including goods in transit and public liability cover
  • Documented inventories so nothing is misplaced
  • Secure, monitored storage facilities, not ad-hoc lock-ups

DIY and casual options often lack proper insurance, inventory systems and professional standards, which can lead to damage, loss or disputes. Our approach protects both your belongings and your peace of mind.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We operate to recognised industry standards, with an emphasis on safety and accountability.

  • Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while being transported to and from storage
  • Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to property or third parties
  • Trained moving teams – staff are properly trained in manual handling, packing and safe loading

We will explain our insurance cover in plain language and can discuss additional options for particularly high-value items if required.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat stored belongings with the same care as a full home move. Furniture is wrapped, soft furnishings are protected and boxes are stacked to avoid crushing. We use quality materials chosen for durability and protection, and we reuse or recycle packaging wherever practical to reduce waste.

Routes are planned efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage, and we maintain our vehicles regularly to keep emissions and breakdowns down. Our aim is to provide a reliable service that also considers its impact on the local environment in and around Colliers Wood.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House with a Gap Between Completion Dates

When buyers and sellers can’t align their dates, storage keeps your chain moving. We collect from your old home, store everything securely, then deliver to your new property on the agreed day.

Office Relocation and Refits

Businesses often need temporary storage while fit-out works are completed or new premises are made ready. We can store desks, chairs, IT equipment and archives, then return them in an organised manner once the space is ready.

Urgent or Last-Minute Moves

Sometimes moves arise unexpectedly – a sudden completion date, a change in circumstances, or a property issue. Where possible, we can respond quickly, collecting and placing belongings into storage on short notice while you make longer-term arrangements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Colliers Wood cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on the volume of goods, the length of time you need storage and whether you require collection, packing and redelivery. We typically charge a weekly or monthly rate per storage unit or per cubic foot, plus one-off charges for collection and return. During your enquiry we assess your needs and provide a clear written quotation with all costs itemised. There are no hidden extras for standard insurance or access, and we’ll happily explain ways to keep costs manageable.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or urgent collection into storage in Colliers Wood and nearby areas. This is particularly useful for sudden completion dates, urgent landlord requests or unexpected issues at a property. Availability will depend on how busy our schedule is and the size of the job, so the sooner you contact us, the better. We’ll give you an honest answer about what we can do and, if possible, propose a practical plan that fits your timescales.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Yes. Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved and covered by our storage insurance while in our care. We also hold public liability cover for additional protection. Standard cover is included in our pricing, and we’ll explain the levels and any exclusions in plain terms before you commit. For unusually high-value or specialist items, we can discuss enhanced cover or recommend that you speak to your own insurer about additional protection.

What’s included in your storage service?

Our storage service typically includes collection from your property, careful loading, transport to our facility, placement in secure storage and basic insurance. We can also provide professional packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and supply packing materials if you prefer to pack yourself. When you’re ready, we arrange redelivery and place items in the rooms you specify. All of this is coordinated by our office team, so you deal with one company from start to finish rather than juggling multiple providers.

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

Unlike many casual man-and-van operators, we’re a professional removals and storage company with trained staff, proper insurance and secure, monitored facilities. We provide inventories, labelled containers and documented processes, so your belongings are traceable and well managed. Vehicles are purpose-built for removals, and our teams are experienced in handling fragile and bulky items. While man-and-van can appear cheaper at first glance, it often lacks the protection, reliability and accountability that matter when you’re entrusting your possessions to someone else.

How far in advance should I book storage?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you know you’ll need storage, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. A week or two’s notice is often sufficient for smaller jobs, but larger household or office moves benefit from earlier planning. That said, we understand that circumstances change, and we’ll always try to accommodate last-minute requests where capacity allows. Early contact simply gives you more choice on dates and allows us to plan your collection and redelivery more efficiently.
