Who Our Long-Term Storage Is For
Homeowners
If you’re renovating, decluttering for a sale, or moving abroad, long-term storage keeps furniture, appliances and personal belongings safe until you’re ready for them again.
Renters
Between tenancies, relocating for work, or moving into a smaller property? Store excess furniture, boxes and seasonal items without giving them up or cramming them into a new flat.
Landlords
We help landlords store furniture and appliances between lets, during refurbishments, or while changing a property from furnished to unfurnished.
Businesses
From boxed records and archived files to display equipment, spare stock and office furniture, our storage is ideal for businesses needing long-term, low-hassle space away from the office.
Students
Going on a year abroad or taking time out? Keep books, clothing, tech and small furniture safely stored instead of dragging everything back and forth.
What You Can Store with Us
Common household items
- Sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
- Kitchen appliances (fridges, freezers, cookers – defrosted and clean)
- Boxes of clothes, books, toys and personal items
- Sports equipment, bicycles and hobby materials
Business and office contents

Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, certain items are excluded from long-term storage:

- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, paints, solvents, fireworks, chemicals)
- Illegal items, stolen goods or anything prohibited by law
- Live animals or any living organisms
- Cash, high-value jewellery, or irreplaceable documents (these are better in a bank or specialist facility)
If you’re unsure about a particular item, we’ll advise you clearly before you book, so there are no surprises on the day.
How Our Long-Term Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with details of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask a few questions about volume, access and dates, then provide a clear, written quote with no hidden extras.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex storage needs, we’ll arrange a virtual or onsite survey. A member of our professional team will assess the volume, access, parking and any special handling needs, then confirm the most suitable unit size and any collection charges.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can provide a packing service. Our trained crews use quality cartons, wrapping paper, bubble wrap and export-grade covers to protect items going into longer-term storage. We label everything clearly so you can find items easily later.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our removals team will carefully load your items, using protective covers, floor runners and securing straps. We then transport everything directly to our Wood Green storage facility in our fully insured vehicles, minimising handling and reducing risk.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the facility, we unload into your allocated unit, stacking and positioning items to make the best use of space while keeping fragile or frequently accessed items easily reachable. We can provide an inventory if required, especially useful for business and archive storage.
Transparent Pricing for Long-Term Storage
We keep pricing straightforward and explain everything up front. Your costs typically include:
- Monthly storage fee based on unit size
- Optional collection and delivery charges
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Insurance cover above any standard level, if requested
Longer-term bookings usually benefit from more favourable rates than short stays. We’ll always talk you through the options so you can balance cost against the space you need and how often you expect to access your unit.
Why Choose Professional Storage & Removals over DIY?
Using a professional storage and removals company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using an informal man-and-van:
- Trained staff who know how to protect furniture and fragile items
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Correct vehicles, equipment and protective materials
- Properly maintained, secure storage premises
- Clear contracts and documentation, not cash-in-hand arrangements
For long-term storage especially, professional standards reduce the risk of damage, loss or disputes later on.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We treat your belongings with the same care as we would our own. As standard, we operate with:
- Goods in transit insurance for items we collect and deliver
- Public liability cover for work carried out at your property
- Trained, uniformed staff experienced in removals and storage
We’ll explain the level of cover included and any options to increase it, so you can make an informed decision based on the value of what you’re storing.
Caring for Your Belongings – Protection and Sustainability
We focus on both protection and sustainability in how we operate:
- Use of reusable furniture blankets, durable crates and heavy-duty covers
- Careful stacking to avoid crushing or warping items over time
- Encouraging reuse of cartons where safe, and recycling worn materials
- Regular maintenance and cleaning of the storage environment
We’ll also advise you on how best to prepare items for longer-term storage – for example, defrosting and cleaning appliances, and using breathable covers rather than sealing everything in plastic.
Real-World Long-Term Storage Use Cases
Moving House
If there’s a gap between selling and buying, or you’re moving abroad but keeping a foothold in London, we can collect, store for as long as needed, then redeliver when your new property is ready.
Office Relocation
Businesses often need to store surplus furniture, archived files or seasonal equipment while relocating or downsizing. We can manage the removal from office to storage, then from storage to the new site when required.
Urgent or Unexpected Situations
Life is not always predictable. If you face an urgent need to clear a property – for example after a change in tenancy or a quick sale – we can often arrange rapid collection and long-term storage while you decide what to do next.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does long-term storage cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need and how long you plan to store for. Smaller units suitable for boxes and a few small items are understandably cheaper than rooms large enough for a full house or office. There may also be separate charges for collection, packing and redelivery, depending on what you choose. We’ll always provide a clear, written quote before you commit, and we’ll help you choose the most efficient unit size so you’re not paying for space you don’t actually need.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Subject to availability, we can often arrange urgent or even same-day storage in Wood Green, particularly for smaller volumes. If you need both collection and storage at short notice, call us as early as possible so we can plan vehicles, staff and an appropriate unit. Where same-day isn’t achievable, we’ll usually be able to offer the earliest possible alternative and suggest practical steps to bridge the gap, such as temporary overnight holding if suitable.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
We operate with goods in transit insurance for collections and deliveries, and the facility itself has appropriate cover for insured risks. However, as with most storage providers, there are limits and exclusions. We’ll explain the standard cover in place and offer options for additional protection if the value of your items is higher than the basic level. It’s important you declare an accurate value of goods and read the terms carefully. Some clients also choose to notify their own household or business insurer for added peace of mind.
What exactly is included in your long-term storage service?
At its simplest, our service includes secure storage space in our Wood Green facility for an agreed period, with controlled access and a clearly defined monthly cost. Many clients add collection and delivery using our professional removals vehicles and trained teams, plus optional packing materials or a full packing service. We’ll help you decide which elements you need. You are never tied into unnecessary extras, and we’ll always explain what is and is not included in your quote before you go ahead.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may move items cheaply, but standards and protection can vary widely. With us, you get purpose-equipped removals vehicles, trained staff, protective materials, and access to a secure, professionally managed storage facility. We operate with goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, clear paperwork and agreed terms. For long-term storage in particular, this professionalism significantly reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes, and gives you a single responsible company managing your goods throughout.
How far in advance should I book long-term storage?
Ideally, book as soon as you have firm dates or a clear idea of timescales, especially if you need collection and packing. One to two weeks’ notice is usually enough for most jobs, but larger moves or busy periods – such as summer or month-end – can fill up quickly. That said, we’ll always do our best to help even at short notice. Early contact simply gives you more choice of dates, allows for a proper survey if needed, and helps us plan the most efficient and cost-effective solution for you.
