Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you are between properties, renovating, downsizing or staging your home for sale. Store furniture, appliances, décor and personal items safely while you move at your own pace.

Renters

If your tenancy dates do not line up or you are moving into temporary accommodation, our storage service lets you keep your belongings secure without overloading a short-term rental.

Landlords

We assist landlords who need to store furniture between tenancies, clear properties for refurbishment, or hold items during compliance work. We can work directly with you or your managing agent.

Businesses

Our business storage covers office furniture, IT equipment, stock, marketing materials and archive documents. Ideal during office moves, refits or when you need overflow space.

If you are heading home during the holidays or on a year abroad, our compact, affordable storage options are perfect for keeping your belongings safe until term starts again.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with a brief outline of what you need to store, when and for how long. We discuss your requirements, answer questions and provide an initial estimate based on volume and duration. All quotes are clear, with no hidden extras.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger jobs, one of our trained surveyors will carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, the quantity of goods and any special handling needs. The survey ensures we allocate the right resources, vehicles and storage space, and provides you with a firm, written quotation.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing service – our team carefully packs everything using strong cartons and protective materials.
• Part-packing – we pack fragile or bulky items; you pack the rest.
• Self-packing – you pack, and we supply quality materials on request.

Furniture is protected with covers and blankets, and fragile items are wrapped individually. All boxes and items are clearly labelled for easy retrieval and redelivery.

4. Loading & Transport

On collection day, our professional removals team arrives at the agreed time. We protect floors and doorways where needed, then load your items methodically onto our vehicles. Goods are secured for transport and moved directly to our secure storage facility.

5. Storage, Unloading & Placement

At the facility, your belongings are unloaded into designated, inventoried storage units or containers. When you request redelivery, we retrieve your items and bring them to your new or existing address. We then unload and place furniture and boxes in the rooms you specify, so you can settle back in quickly.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our storage costs are based on:

• Volume of goods stored (space required)
• Duration of storage (short or long term)
• Collection and redelivery requirements
• Optional services such as packing and materials

Your quote will clearly show collection charges, weekly or monthly storage rates, and redelivery fees where applicable. There are no surprise add-ons. For longer-term storage, we can often offer more economical rates.

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

Using a professional removals and storage company provides a level of protection and organisation that DIY or a casual man-and-van cannot match. We offer:

• Purpose-built vehicles, protective equipment and packing materials
• Systematic labelling and inventory so nothing is misplaced
• Secure, monitored storage rather than ad-hoc garages or sheds
• Fully insured services, including goods in transit and public liability
• Trained teams used to handling heavy, fragile and awkward items safely

This reduces the risk of damage, loss and injury, while saving you significant time and effort.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As an established removals and storage provider in Greenwich, we work to recognised industry standards and maintain robust insurance cover for your peace of mind.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being moved between your property and the storage facility.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury during our work.
• Trained moving teams – our staff receive ongoing training in manual handling, packing, and safe loading techniques.

We will explain the scope and limits of our cover in plain language and can discuss additional options if you have particularly high-value or specialist items.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is protected with clean covers and transit blankets, and boxes are stacked safely to avoid crushing. We avoid unnecessary handling and keep items off the floor in dry, secure units.

We also take a responsible approach to the environment. Where possible, we use reusable crates and durable packing materials, recycle cardboard and minimise waste. Our route planning aims to reduce unnecessary mileage, helping to cut emissions around Greenwich and beyond.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

If completion dates do not align or your new property needs work, we can combine removals and storage into a single, seamless service. We pack, move, store and redeliver at the right time.

Office and Business Moves

During an office relocation or refurbishment, we can store furniture, IT equipment and documents, then return them in carefully planned phases so your team stays productive.

Urgent or Short-Notice Storage

Sometimes circumstances change quickly – a sale moves faster than expected, a tenancy ends abruptly or a project overruns. Subject to availability, we can provide rapid collection and storage to keep your belongings safe at short notice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Greenwich cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you need it for and whether you require collection, packing and redelivery. We usually quote a weekly or monthly rate for the storage itself, plus a separate charge for removals services. Smaller loads stored for a few weeks will naturally cost less than a full property stored over several months. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us for a free, no-obligation quote based on your specific items and timings.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?

In many cases, yes. If we have vehicle and storage capacity available, we can arrange urgent or even same-day collection and storage around Greenwich and nearby areas. This is particularly useful if a tenancy ends unexpectedly, a sale completes faster than planned or building works are brought forward. The more notice you can give us, the better, but we will always do our best to accommodate urgent requests and provide a realistic timescale and cost upfront.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from storage, and our storage arrangements include appropriate protection while items are held in the facility. We will explain exactly what is covered, any single-item limits and what is excluded, so you have a clear picture. If you have items of particularly high value, we can discuss whether additional cover or a separate policy is sensible, and advise you on the best approach.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard service includes collection from your property, transport to our secure storage facility, safe storage for the agreed period, and redelivery when you are ready. We can also provide a full or part packing service, supply packing materials, and dismantle and reassemble basic furniture on request. Everything is loaded and stored carefully, with protective covers used where needed. Your quote will clearly state what is and is not included, so you can choose the level of help that suits you.

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

With us, you get a professional removals and storage team, purpose-built vehicles, proper protective equipment and access to secure, monitored storage. A casual man-and-van typically offers simple transport only, often without formal inventory systems or comprehensive insurance. We provide structured planning, clear contracts, fully insured services and trained staff who handle your belongings carefully. This greatly reduces the risk of damage or loss, and means you have a reliable point of contact throughout.

How far in advance should I book storage?

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end, when demand for removals and storage in Greenwich is highest. Ideally, contact us at least two to four weeks before you need collection so we can arrange a survey, confirm dates and reserve the right amount of space. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so if you need storage at short notice, still get in touch – we will always try to find a practical solution.
