Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, completing a chain, or refurbishing, our furniture storage keeps your belongings safe until your new space is ready. We can collect directly from your home, store as long as you need, and deliver back to your new address on the agreed date.
Renters
Moving between rentals, travelling abroad or waiting for a new tenancy? We can take your furniture into storage for a few weeks or several months, saving you from paying for a bigger property just to house your belongings.
Landlords
Need to clear a property between tenancies, or store furniture while you switch from furnished to unfurnished lets (or vice versa)? We offer flexible storage options for complete flats, houses or selected items, with itemised inventories so you always know what’s in store.
Businesses
Our business furniture storage is ideal for office relocations, refurbishments, seasonal or surplus furniture, and temporary project spaces. We can collect outside normal working hours to minimise disruption and redeliver to your new layout when required.
Students
Students in and around Somers Town can store desks, beds, sofas and personal items between terms or during a year abroad. We offer cost-effective shared storage solutions so you only pay for the space you actually use.

How Our Furniture Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or via our website and tell us what furniture you need to store, your addresses and your preferred dates. We provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs so you can make an informed decision.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger volumes or more complex jobs, we recommend a short survey. This can be done by video call or an onsite visit in Somers Town. The survey allows us to assess access, parking, item sizes and any special handling requirements, making sure we allocate the right team, vehicle and packing materials.
3. Packing & Preparation
On collection day, our trained team carefully prepares your furniture for storage. We protect upholstery with breathable covers, use export-grade blankets for wooden pieces and can dismantle larger items such as beds and wardrobes if needed. We also offer a full packing service for boxed items to be stored alongside your furniture.
4. Loading & Transport
Your items are loaded methodically into our vehicles, with heavy and bulky pieces secured first and lighter items above. All loads are strapped and wrapped for safe transit to our storage facility. Throughout, we handle your furniture as if it were our own, paying attention to walls, floors and communal areas.
5. Storage, Unloading & Placement
Once at our facility, we unload into a dedicated unit or shared storage area, depending on your plan. Items are stacked for stability and ease of retrieval, with an inventory recorded for your peace of mind. When you are ready, we schedule your redelivery, bring your furniture back and place each item in the rooms you choose.
Transparent Furniture Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will usually include:
- Collection labour and vehicle charges
- Protective materials (covers, blankets, tapes)
- Weekly or monthly storage fees based on volume
- Redelivery costs to your chosen address
Storage is typically priced by cubic footage or by unit size, so you only pay for the space your furniture occupies. There are no hidden charges – any additional costs (such as long carries, difficult access or dismantling/reassembly) are discussed and agreed in advance.
Why Use Professional Furniture Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van may look cheaper on paper, but it often leads to damage, delays and stress. Our professional service offers:
- Trained moving teams who know how to handle bulky and delicate furniture safely
- Proper padding, wrapping and stacking to prevent scratches, tears and warping
- Secure, purpose-built storage rather than damp garages or makeshift spaces
- Agreed timescales and written documentation rather than informal arrangements
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for your protection
For valuable or sentimental pieces, the extra care and accountability make a real difference.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your furniture is protected from the moment we begin handling it. We maintain:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while being moved
- Public liability cover for any accidental damage to property during our work
- Trained moving teams who follow established handling and lifting techniques
We keep our vehicles and storage areas clean, dry and secure, with controlled access and regular checks. Documentation is provided on request so you know exactly how your belongings are protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We are committed to treating your furniture – and the environment – with respect. We use robust, reusable furniture blankets and re-usable transit covers wherever possible, reducing single-use plastics. Cardboard and other packing materials are recycled through appropriate channels.
During collection and redelivery, floors, bannisters and door frames are protected as needed, and we plan routes and loading to minimise unnecessary journeys. *Careful planning* not only protects your belongings but also helps reduce our environmental impact.
Real-World Furniture Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Completion dates do not always line up. We can remove your furniture on your moving-out day, store it securely, then deliver to your new home when you receive the keys. This is especially helpful for Somers Town residents moving further across London or out of the city.
Office Relocations
When businesses refurbish or relocate, there is often a period where old and new furniture overlap. We can store surplus desks, chairs and cabinets while your new layout is finalised, then redeliver or dispose of items responsibly as required.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Occasionally, customers need to vacate a property quickly due to landlord requests, water damage, or other emergencies. Subject to availability, we can provide short-notice collections in Somers Town, taking your furniture into storage the same or next day and giving you breathing space to plan your next steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Somers Town cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much furniture you have, how easy the access is, and how long you need storage for. We typically price storage by the volume of your items, along with one-off charges for collection and redelivery. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a written quotation setting out all costs clearly. There are no hidden fees, and you can adjust the level of service – such as adding packing or dismantling – to suit your budget.
Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate same-day or next-day collections in Somers Town, especially for smaller loads. If you have an urgent situation, contact us as early as possible with details of your furniture and access. We will check vehicle and crew availability, explain any time constraints, and confirm what we can realistically achieve. Even when same-day is not possible, we will usually be able to arrange a prompt collection within a short timeframe.
Are my items insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved, and by our storage cover while it remains in our facility, subject to standard terms and value limits. We also hold public liability cover for any accidental damage to third-party property during our work. We are happy to outline the key points of our policies and, if needed, you can arrange additional cover for exceptionally high-value items through your own insurer.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
Our standard service includes a professional team, collection from your property, basic protective materials, transport to our facility, secure storage, and redelivery to your chosen address. We can also provide optional extras such as full packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and the supply of specialist covers or crates. Before you book, we will specify exactly what is included in your quote so you know what to expect on collection and delivery days.
How is this different from using a basic man-and-van service?
A casual man-and-van may simply move items from A to B, often without proper wrapping, stacking or insurance. Our service is designed specifically for safe storage: trained moving teams, protective materials, structured loading, secure facilities and written documentation of what we hold for you. You benefit from accountability, agreed standards of care, and appropriate insurance – all of which significantly reduce the risk of damage or disputes later on.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance to secure your preferred dates, especially at busy times such as month-end and summer. However, we recognise that storage needs can arise suddenly, so we always try to keep some flexibility for short-notice requests. The earlier you contact us with your details, the easier it is for us to allocate the right crew, vehicle and storage space for your furniture.
