Our storage service is designed to remove the hassle of self-storage. We collect, protect, store and return your belongings exactly when you need them. Our local team is fully trained, highly experienced in handling everything from everyday household items to fragile antiques and office equipment.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you are selling, completing at different times, or renovating. We can collect furniture, white goods, boxes and sentimental items, store them securely, then deliver to your new home on the exact date you choose.

Renters

If you are between tenancies or relocating for work, our storage keeps your belongings safe without committing to a larger property. We regularly support renters who need short to medium-term storage during moves or flat shares.

Landlords

Landlords use our storage service to hold furniture during refurbishments, voids or property staging. We can remove and later re-install beds, wardrobes, sofas, white goods and more, helping keep your property ready for the next tenants.

Businesses

Local businesses in Kentish Town rely on us for document archiving, seasonal stock storage, spare furniture and equipment. We offer flexible space that can grow or shrink month by month, with professional inventory handling and labelled storage.

Students

Students at nearby universities and colleges often need term-time or summer storage. We provide affordable options for boxes, suitcases, small furniture and bikes, with collection from halls or shared houses and redelivery at the start of term.

What We Can Store

Our storage facilities are suitable for most household and office items, including:

• Furniture: beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs
• Appliances: washing machines, fridges, freezers, microwaves
• Boxes of personal belongings, books, clothes and decorations
• Office furniture, IT equipment, files and archived documents
• Sports equipment, bicycles and hobby items
• Tools, small machinery and stock (subject to restrictions)

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, the following are excluded:

• Perishable goods or food items
• Live plants or animals
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles, paints, solvents, fireworks)
• Illegal goods or items of uncertain ownership
• Cash, jewellery, high-value collectibles or irreplaceable documents (such as passports) – these are best kept with you or in a safe deposit box

If you are unsure about a specific item, we will advise honestly and help you find a suitable solution.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with an outline of what you need stored, for how long, and from which address. We ask a few simple questions about volume, access and timing. Based on this, we give you a clear, no-obligation quote for collection, storage and redelivery.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger jobs, we may arrange a quick video call or onsite visit in Kentish Town to assess volume, parking and any special handling requirements. This lets us allocate the right size vehicle, the correct number of professional movers and the appropriate storage space, avoiding surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own items, or use our packing service. Our team supplies sturdy boxes, wrapping paper, bubble wrap and tape. We carefully wrap furniture, protect delicate surfaces and label boxes clearly for easy retrieval. Mattresses, sofas and large items are covered to keep them clean throughout storage.

4. Loading & Transport

On collection day, our trained team arrives at the agreed time, protects floors and walkways where needed and systematically loads your belongings. Everything is secured in our vehicles and transported directly to our chosen storage facility, avoiding unnecessary handling.

5. Unloading & Placement in Storage

At the storage site, we unload and stack items logically, ensuring heavier boxes are at the bottom and fragile items on top. Furniture is positioned to avoid pressure points, and protected against dust. If you need partial access later, labelling and organisation make retrieval straightforward.

Transparent Pricing for Storage

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Your final cost depends on:

• The amount of space required (estimated from your item list or survey)
• Length of time in storage (short-term, medium-term or long-term)
• Collection and redelivery distance and access (stairs, lifts, parking)
• Optional services such as packing materials and full packing

We explain all charges before you book. There are no hidden fees for basic handling. Long-term customers and repeat business clients may benefit from preferential rates. Our aim is to provide excellent value without cutting corners on care or security.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY

Using a professional removals and storage company in Kentish Town offers several advantages over doing it yourself or hiring an informal man-with-a-van:

• Safety and protection: Correct lifting techniques, proper blankets, straps and covers reduce risk of damage and injury.
• Organisation: Inventory, labelling and structured packing mean you know exactly what is stored and where.
• Reliability: Confirmed bookings, punctual arrival and written terms, rather than casual arrangements.
• Insurance cover: Your belongings are protected under our policies, something many informal operators cannot offer.
• Time savings: We handle the heavy work, so you can focus on your move, renovation or business.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We operate to recognised industry standards and take our responsibilities seriously. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance for items while being moved between your property and the storage facility.
• Public liability cover to protect you and your property while our team is working on site.
• Trained moving teams experienced with fragile, bulky and high-value items.

While we handle every item with care, having the right cover in place provides additional peace of mind. We are happy to explain how our insurance works in practical terms and can advise on any specific high-value items that might need separate cover.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Protective blankets, mattress covers, furniture wrap and careful stacking all help prevent scratches, dents and dust. We also respect your home by using floor protection where necessary and planning the safest route for moving large items.

Sustainability matters to us. We reuse robust cartons whenever appropriate, recycle worn materials, and plan routes efficiently to reduce mileage. Our aim is to provide a high standard of care for both your possessions and the local environment in and around Kentish Town.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

If your sale and purchase do not line up, storage bridges the gap. We collect from your old address, store for as long as needed and then deliver everything on completion day. This avoids rushed moves or temporary overcrowding in your new home.

Office Relocation

Businesses often use storage while refitting offices or changing layouts. We can hold surplus desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment until you decide what to keep, sell or recycle. This keeps the working environment uncluttered during transition.

Urgent Moves

Sometimes you need to vacate a property quickly – end of tenancy, landlord requirements or unexpected circumstances. We can often arrange same-day or next-day collection into storage, giving you breathing space to plan your next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Kentish Town cost?

Costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you store for and the collection/delivery requirements. Smaller loads stored for a few weeks will naturally cost less than full household contents over several months. We quote a clear weekly or monthly storage rate, along with separate charges for collection, packing (if required) and final redelivery. There are no surprise fees; everything is explained before you book so you can compare options and choose a level that fits your budget.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?

In many cases, yes. If you have an urgent move-out deadline or a last-minute change of plan, contact us as soon as possible. We will check vehicle and storage availability and do our best to arrange same-day or next-day collection in Kentish Town and nearby areas. Priority slots depend on our schedule and the size of the job, but we always try to accommodate genuine emergencies and can suggest practical alternatives if immediate storage is not feasible.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved, and our storage arrangements include protection for standard household and office goods. Insurance is designed to cover unforeseen incidents, while our primary focus is preventing problems through careful handling, secure facilities and trained staff. We will explain the main terms and limits in straightforward language. For unusually high-value items or specialist collections, we may recommend arranging additional cover for full peace of mind.

What is included in your storage service?

Our core service includes professional collection from your property, secure transport to the storage facility, careful unloading and stacking, and redelivery when you are ready. We provide protective blankets and basic wrapping for furniture as standard. Optional extras include full packing services, supply of new boxes and materials, and help with dismantling and reassembly of larger furniture. We tailor the service to your needs, whether you just want us to handle the heavy lifting or manage the entire process from start to finish.

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

We combine the flexibility of a man-and-van with the standards of a professional removals company. That means fully insured operations, trained staff, proper protective equipment, organised loading, and secure storage facilities rather than ad hoc solutions. A casual man-and-van may move items from A to B, but often without written terms, clear insurance or structured processes. Our approach is built around reliability, accountability and long-term storage care, giving you confidence that your belongings are properly looked after.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For planned moves, we recommend booking as soon as you have approximate dates – ideally one to three weeks in advance. This gives us time to schedule vehicles, arrange any surveys and reserve suitable storage space. However, we understand that timings can change, especially with property chains and tenancy agreements, so we remain as flexible as possible. Even if you only have a few days’ notice, it is worth calling; we will always check current availability and try to accommodate your requirements.
