Our teams plan access carefully, arrange parking where required, and use the right equipment to move items safely with minimal disruption to you and your neighbours.

Who Our Long-Term Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, downsizing, renovating or moving abroad, our long-term storage is perfect for keeping furniture, appliances and personal possessions safe until you are ready for them again.
Renters
Ending a tenancy, moving into temporary accommodation or heading away for work or travel? We can store part or all of your belongings for as long as you need, with flexible redelivery options.
Landlords
Store furniture and white goods between tenancies, or keep surplus items secure while you refresh or refurbish your property. We can collect from and return to your rental addresses on demand.
Businesses
Our business storage is ideal for surplus furniture, seasonal stock, marketing materials, exhibition stands, archive files and equipment. We offer professional, well-documented inventory management so you always know what you have stored.
Students
If you’re studying in London and heading home during holidays or a placement year, we can store your belongings so you do not have to move everything back and forth.

- Home appliances such as fridges, freezers and washing machines
- Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment

What Cannot Be Stored

- Perishable goods and food
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles and fuel)
- Illegal items or substances
- Live animals or plants
- Unregistered firearms or weapons
- Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents (these are better kept in a safe or with a specialist provider)
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you during your quote or survey.
How Our Long-Term Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We ask a few questions about the volume and type of items, the property access and your timings. We then provide a clear, no-obligation estimate covering collection, storage and eventual redelivery.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex jobs, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us accurately assess the volume, note any access challenges and identify items needing special care. The survey ensures we send the right vehicle, team and packing materials, and confirms your final price.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed day, our trained team arrives with protective materials and prepares your items for storage. We can offer:
- Full packing service – we pack everything into boxes
- Part-packing service – you pack smaller items, we handle larger or fragile pieces
- Export-style wrapping – for long-term protection of furniture and delicate items
Everything is labelled and listed on an inventory so you know exactly what is in storage.
4. Loading & Transport
We load your items carefully onto our vehicles using blankets, straps and protective covers to prevent damage in transit. Our vehicles are covered by goods in transit insurance, and our operatives are experienced in navigating the streets and parking conditions around Cambridge Heath.
5. Unloading & Placement in Store
On arrival at our facility, items are unloaded into your designated storage unit or container. We stack and position goods to make best use of space while protecting delicate and heavy items. Your unit is then secured and monitored, ready for as long as you need.
Transparent Pricing for Long-Term Storage
Our pricing is straightforward and explained in full before you commit. Typical costs include:
- Collection fee – based on vehicle size, team required and access
- Storage fee – a monthly rate, depending on the space you need
- Redelivery fee – when you are ready for items to be brought back
There are no hidden charges. We talk you through ways to keep costs sensible, such as decluttering before storage, choosing the right unit size, and grouping deliveries to minimise journeys.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using a casual man-and-van and a basic lock-up may look cheaper, but it often means limited protection, no consistent inventory and unclear accountability if something goes wrong. By contrast, our service offers:
- Professional, uniformed crews with proper handling training
- Fully insured collection, transport and storage
- Detailed, signed inventories for peace of mind
- Secure facilities with controlled access and monitoring
- Clear contracts and documented terms
This reduces the risk of damage, loss and disputes, and means you have a single, reliable point of contact throughout.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to high professional standards. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while we move them
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property during our work
- Trained moving teams – experienced staff using safe lifting and packing techniques
We can discuss specific insurance extensions for unusually high-value items and agree appropriate declarations before collection.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Long-term storage only works if items come out in the same condition they went in. We use quality packing materials, heavy-duty blankets, specialist covers and careful stacking methods to protect your belongings over time.
We also aim to operate in a responsible, sustainable way. Where possible, we use recyclable materials, minimise unnecessary journeys by careful route planning, and encourage customers to reuse packing supplies for future moves.
Real-World Use Cases for Long-Term Storage
Moving House
Chains often break or completion dates do not line up. Our long-term storage lets you move out on schedule, store everything securely and then have it delivered once your new home is ready.
Office Relocation
When offices are being refurbished, downsized or relocated, we can store furniture, equipment and files for months at a time, and then return them in stages as different areas become available.
Urgent Moves
Sometimes you have to vacate a property at short notice. We can arrange rapid collection, move everything into storage and then work with you on a calmer, more flexible timetable for redelivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does long-term storage in Cambridge Heath cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much space you need, how long you need it for, and the collection/redelivery work involved. We charge a monthly storage fee based on unit size, plus one-off costs for collection and final delivery. During your quote, we calculate the volume of goods, discuss access and timings, then give you a clear written price with no hidden extras. We can also advise on ways to reduce costs, such as decluttering and choosing the most efficient unit size.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where availability allows, we can arrange same-day or short-notice collections in Cambridge Heath and surrounding areas. This is especially helpful if you need to vacate a property quickly due to a last-minute change in plans. The more information you can give us when you call – such as volume, access and timing – the easier it is for us to schedule a team and vehicle. Urgent work is subject to availability, so contacting us as early as possible is always recommended.
Are my belongings insured while in long-term storage?
Yes. Your items are covered by goods in transit insurance while we move them and by our storage insurance while they are in our care, subject to our terms and declared values. We explain the cover limits and conditions during the quotation stage so you know exactly how you’re protected. For very high-value or unusual items, we may recommend additional cover or specific declarations. Our aim is for you to feel fully informed about the protection in place for your belongings.
What’s included in your long-term storage service?
Our standard service includes collection from your property, protective wrapping of furniture, loading, transport, secure storage in our facility and a detailed inventory. We can also provide packing materials or a full packing service if required. When you’re ready, we arrange redelivery to your chosen address. Throughout, you have a single point of contact, clear documentation and professional support. Optional extras, such as special packing for fragile or high-value items, can be added as needed and are explained in your quote.
How is this different from using a basic man-and-van and a lock-up?
A casual man-and-van usually means ad-hoc packing, limited paperwork and unclear insurance, while many lock-ups are not designed for longer-term, well-organised storage. With us, you get professional crews, fully insured transport and storage, secure monitored facilities and proper inventories. This greatly reduces the risk of damage or loss and makes it far easier to retrieve items when needed. You also have clear contracts and an accountable company to deal with, rather than relying on informal arrangements.
How far in advance should I book long-term storage?
Ideally, contact us at least one to two weeks before your preferred collection date, especially during busier periods such as month-ends and summer. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, plan the right size team and vehicle, and reserve suitable storage space. However, we regularly help with shorter-notice moves and will always try to accommodate you. The earlier you get in touch, the more flexibility we have in offering your preferred dates and times.
