How Our Household Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Storage Somers Town by phone or online with a rough list of what you want to store and for how long. We will ask a few questions to estimate the space required and provide a clear, no-obligation quote, including any collection, packing and delivery costs.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves or whole-property storage, we recommend a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to measure volumes accurately, assess access (stairs, lifts, parking) and discuss any special requirements. It means we can send the right size vehicle, the right number of staff and sufficient packing materials on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can either pack your own belongings or use our professional packing service. Our trained team uses sturdy cartons, wrapping paper, bubble wrap and furniture covers to protect your items. We label boxes clearly, prepare an inventory and make sure everything is ready for safe transport and storage.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day we arrive at the agreed time, protect floors and walls as needed and carefully load your belongings onto our vehicles. Items are wrapped and secured to prevent movement in transit, then taken directly to our storage facility. We operate with fully insured vehicles and follow professional handling techniques at all times.
5. Unloading, Storage & Return
At the facility, your goods are unloaded into your allocated unit or storage containers, with furniture blanket-wrapped and stacked for stability. When you are ready for your items back, simply book a delivery date. We will return your belongings, unload into the rooms you specify and reassemble any furniture we dismantled for storage.
Transparent Pricing for Household Storage
We believe in straightforward pricing without hidden extras. Our quotes typically include:
- Weekly or monthly storage charges, based on the volume used.
- Collection and delivery fees, calculated on time, distance and team size.
- Optional packing materials and labour, if requested.
Prices vary depending on how much you store and how long for, but we will always explain costs clearly in writing before you commit. There are no surprise "admin" or access charges. If your needs change, we can adjust your storage space up or down to keep costs sensible.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Putting your household goods into storage involves more than shifting a few boxes. Using a professional removals and storage company brings several advantages over doing it yourself or using an informal man-and-van:
- Training and equipment – our teams are trained in safe lifting, wrapping and loading, and use the right equipment for heavy items.
- Proper insurance – your belongings are covered by dedicated removals and storage policies, not just a driver’s private van insurance.
- Structured process – surveys, inventories and labelling make retrieval and redelivery far smoother.
- Time saving – we handle the heavy work, planning and logistics so you can focus on your move or project.
- Reduced risk of damage – professional techniques minimise the chance of breakages or accidents.
Insurance and Professional Standards
At Storage Somers Town, we take responsibility for the safety of your belongings seriously. Our service is fully supported by appropriate cover and standards:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being collected from or delivered to your property.
- Public liability cover – protects you and your property against accidental damage during our work.
- Fully insured storage facility – the building and contents are covered against defined risks.
- Trained moving teams – all staff are trained in handling techniques, wrapping, stacking and health and safety.
We are happy to explain the scope of our cover and, where appropriate, discuss additional protection for particularly high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take a careful, methodical approach to protecting your belongings and the environment:
- Using furniture blankets, mattress covers and specialist wrapping for delicate items.
- Securing loads in vehicles and units to avoid crushing or movement.
- Offering reusable crates where suitable and recycling packaging materials wherever possible.
- Planning routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions.
By combining proper protection with sensible environmental measures, we help ensure your belongings are safe while keeping waste and impact to a minimum.
Real-World Household Storage Use Cases

- Moving house – when completion dates don’t align, or you are relocating temporarily before finding a long-term home.
- Office relocation – storing office furniture and files during a phased move or refurbishment.
- Renovations and redecorating – keeping furniture out of the way while builders work or rooms are being painted.
- Urgent moves – when you need to clear a property at short notice due to a sale, end of tenancy or emergency works.
- Downsizing – giving you time to decide what to keep, sell or donate without rushing decisions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does household storage in Somers Town cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need and for how long. We usually price storage by the week or month, based on the volume of your belongings, plus any collection and delivery charges. For small loads, the weekly cost is often surprisingly modest. Larger, full-house loads naturally cost more, but we always provide a clear written quote before you book. If you let us know what you plan to store, we can suggest ways to pack efficiently and reduce the space required, helping keep your overall costs down.
Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?
Where possible, yes. If you need urgent storage in Somers Town due to a last-minute completion, landlord request or emergency works, contact us as soon as you can. We keep some flexibility in our schedule for short-notice jobs and can often arrange collection and storage the same day, especially for flat or small-house contents. Availability depends on existing bookings and space at the facility, but we will always be honest about what we can do and offer the nearest practical solution if the same day is not feasible.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are protected under our goods in transit insurance while being moved, and the storage facility itself is fully insured. This covers defined risks such as fire, theft and certain types of damage. We will explain the level of cover included as standard and, if necessary, discuss any extra insurance you might want for particularly high-value items. It is important that you declare the approximate total value of the goods stored, so we can ensure the cover is appropriate and you are fully protected.
What is included in your household storage service?
Our core service includes secure storage space in our Somers Town facility, careful loading and unloading, and basic protective measures such as furniture blankets. Many customers add optional services such as collection from their property, professional packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and redelivery when storage ends. We can also provide packing materials if you prefer to pack yourself. Your quote will set out clearly what is included, and you can adjust the level of service to match your budget and how much work you want us to handle.
How is your service different from a simple man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with limited or no specialist training, minimal insurance and no long-term storage facility. By contrast, we provide an integrated removals and storage service with trained staff, proper insurance and a secure, monitored site. We carry out surveys, create inventories and use professional packing and handling methods. This structured approach reduces the risk of damage, gives you clear accountability and makes retrieval at the end of storage straightforward, which is rarely the case with informal operators.
How far in advance should I book household storage?
If possible, it is sensible to book at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy moving periods such as the end of the month or summer. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, allocate the right storage space and schedule your collection. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, particularly with property chains, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice. Even if your dates are not fixed, speaking to us early allows us to plan and keep options open for you.
