How Our Household Storage Process Works
We follow a clear, step‑by‑step process so you always know what to expect.
1. Enquiry & Quote
Get in touch by phone, email or through our website with details of what you need to store and your preferred dates. We will ask a few simple questions – such as property size and any bulky furniture – then recommend an appropriate unit size. Based on this, we provide a clear, no‑obligation quote for storage and any removal/transport support if required.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger households or complex moves, we may suggest a brief survey. This can often be done virtually via photos or video call. If necessary, we can arrange an onsite visit in Wood Green or the surrounding area. The survey allows us to confirm space requirements, discuss access issues, and plan the most efficient way to load and store your belongings.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can recommend professional packing services using sturdy boxes, wrapping and furniture covers. Proper packing protects your belongings in transit and in storage. We advise clearly labelling all boxes, dismantling large furniture where possible, and ensuring appliances are emptied, cleaned and dry before they are stored.
4. Loading & Transport
You are welcome to bring your items to our Wood Green facility yourself, or we can arrange a fully insured removals team to collect from your home, office or student halls. Our teams use blankets, straps and trolleys to load safely and protect your items during transport. Careful loading reduces the risk of damage and maximises the use of your storage space.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload and place your items neatly in your allocated unit or assist you in doing so. Heavier items are positioned at the back or on the floor, with lighter boxes stacked safely on top. We can leave walkways so you can access specific items more easily later. When you are ready to move out, we can arrange the reverse process – delivering your belongings to your new address.
Transparent Household Storage Pricing
Our pricing is straightforward and explained in full before you commit.
- Rates based primarily on unit size and length of stay.
- Short‑term and long‑term storage options with competitive weekly or monthly rates.
- Optional extras such as packing materials and removals support clearly itemised.
There are no hidden charges for basic access during our standard opening hours. We will always confirm any additional services you request – such as out‑of‑hours access or insurance upgrades – in writing so you can budget with confidence.
Why Choose Professional Household Storage over DIY or Casual Man‑and‑Van?
While it may be tempting to use a friend’s garage or a casual man‑and‑van, proper household storage offers several important advantages:
- Security – monitored premises, controlled access and individual unit locks.
- Protection – clean, dry units designed to keep furniture and belongings in good condition.
- Professional handling – trained teams who know how to move and stack items safely.
- Insurance cover – your goods are protected while in transit and in storage.
- Predictable costs – clear pricing and formal agreements, not cash‑in‑hand arrangements.
For long‑term storage or valuable household contents, using a professional provider is almost always cheaper and safer than cutting corners.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, so we ensure they are protected properly.
- Goods in Transit Insurance – covers your items while they are being transported to and from our Wood Green facility when using our recommended removals partners.
- Public Liability Cover – protects you and your property during loading, unloading and handling.
- Trained Moving Teams – experienced staff, trained in lifting techniques, packing, stacking and property protection.
We operate to recognised industry standards, keeping accurate records of all stored units and maintaining a well‑run, orderly facility.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings with the same care we would our own. Floors, banisters and doorways are protected during moves where we are involved, and furniture is wrapped and covered as appropriate. Within our facility, units are kept clean, dry and regularly checked.
Where possible, we use reusable crates, recycled cardboard boxes and recyclable packing materials. We also encourage careful planning so you only take the space you actually need, reducing waste and environmental impact.
Real‑World Household Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Many customers use our household storage as a flexible bridge between sale and completion dates. If your new home in or around Wood Green is not ready, we can store the full contents of your property safely until it is.
Office Relocation
Businesses relocating, downsizing or refurbishing use our units to hold furniture, stock and files. This keeps the new office uncluttered while you settle in, and gives you time to decide what to keep or dispose of.
Urgent or Same‑Day Storage
Occasionally, circumstances change quickly – a sudden sale, urgent repairs, or a tenancy ending sooner than expected. Subject to availability, we can often arrange same‑day or next‑day storage in Wood Green, with rapid collection through our partner removals teams.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does household storage in Wood Green cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need and how long you require it. Smaller units suitable for a few boxes and suitcases are naturally cheaper than spaces designed for a full house of furniture. We charge weekly or monthly, with discounts sometimes available for longer‑term bookings. All prices are clearly explained in advance, including any optional extras such as packing materials or collection and delivery. Contact us with a rough list of items, and we will provide a tailored quote without obligation.
Can you offer same‑day or urgent storage?
Yes, in many cases we can arrange same‑day or next‑day storage in Wood Green, depending on current availability. If you need urgent storage, call us as early as possible with basic details of what you need to store and your preferred timings. We will check unit availability immediately and, if required, coordinate a professional removals team for rapid collection. While same‑day slots cannot be guaranteed during very busy periods, we always do our best to accommodate urgent situations and provide a practical alternative.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
When you use our recommended transport services, your items are protected by Goods in Transit insurance while being moved to and from our Wood Green facility. Once in storage, we maintain robust site security, and basic cover may be available subject to terms. For higher‑value contents, we usually recommend either an enhanced policy through us or extending your own home insurance to cover items in storage. We are happy to explain the options in plain language so you understand exactly what is and is not covered before you sign any agreement.
What is included in your household storage service?
Our standard service includes a clean, secure unit at our Wood Green site, use of trolleys on‑site, and access during our published opening hours. We help you select the right size unit and provide guidance on packing and stacking your belongings safely. Optional extras include packing materials, professional packing services and fully insured collection and delivery by trained teams. All inclusions and optional services are itemised in your quote, so you only pay for what you actually need, with no surprises once your items are in store.
How is household storage different from a basic man‑and‑van?
A basic man‑and‑van service typically offers transport only, with limited or no formal storage and minimal protection. By contrast, our household storage combines secure, purpose‑designed units with trained handling, formal insurance arrangements, and a clearly documented agreement. Your goods are kept in a monitored facility rather than a random garage or vehicle, and you retain controlled access. For short moves of a few items, a man‑and‑van may be sufficient, but for storing the contents of a home, a fully insured, managed storage service is far safer and more reliable.
How far in advance should I book household storage?
Where possible, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month‑end when demand is highest. This gives you the best choice of unit sizes and access times, and allows us to coordinate any removals support you require. That said, we understand that plans can change quickly, and we will always do our best to accommodate short‑notice requests. The earlier you contact us with provisional dates, the easier it is to secure the most suitable space for your needs.
