Our furniture storage service is designed for anyone who needs reliable, short or long-term space. We collect your furniture, wrap and protect it, transport it to our secure facility, and return it whenever you are ready.

Whether you are between homes, renovating, downsizing, or clearing space for an office refit, we provide a straightforward, well-organised solution that saves you time, effort and worry.
Local Expertise in Strawberry Hill

We regularly support customers storing furniture from:

This experience means fewer surprises on the day and a smoother, faster service for you.
Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are moving house, extending, redecorating or staging your property for sale, our furniture storage keeps your larger items out of harm’s way. We can remove furniture before building work starts and return everything once you are ready, so your home stays cleaner and your belongings are protected.
Renters
For tenants between rentals or moving into smaller accommodation, storage can bridge the gap. Store the items you are not ready to part with yet, without overfilling your new place. We offer flexible terms so you are not tied into long contracts.
Landlords
Landlords often need to store furniture between tenancies, during refurbishments or when converting between furnished and unfurnished lets. We can clear a property quickly, keep everything inventoried, and return it to the correct address when required.
Businesses
Offices, shops and clinics use our business furniture storage for surplus desks, chairs, filing cabinets, reception furniture and POS displays. It is ideal during relocations, refurbishments or when downsizing and moving to hybrid working.
Students
Students in Strawberry Hill and nearby universities use us to store beds, desks, wardrobes and small sofas during the summer or gap years. We can collect from halls or shared houses and deliver back at the start of term, saving you multiple trips.
What Furniture Items We Can Store
We handle most household and office furniture, including:
- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
- Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
- Wardrobes, chests of drawers and bedside tables
- Beds, mattresses and headboards
- Desks, office chairs and filing cabinets
- Bookshelves and display units
- Garden furniture (properly cleaned and dry)
- Small appliances and boxed household items, if required
Items We Cannot Store
To comply with safety, legal and insurance requirements, we cannot store:
- Perishable or food items
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including paint, gas bottles, fuel)
- Illegal goods or stolen property
- Unboxed loose liquids or chemicals
- Live plants, animals or any living organisms
- Items in severe disrepair that may pose a safety risk
If you are unsure about a particular item, just ask – we will advise on what is acceptable and how best to pack it.
Our Step-by-Step Furniture Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of what you need to store, where from, and roughly for how long. We will ask about access, floors, lifts, parking and any particularly heavy or fragile items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger jobs, we recommend a survey. This can be done by video call or an onsite visit in Strawberry Hill. We assess volume, item types, dismantling requirements and protection needed. This allows us to allocate the right team, vehicle and materials, and gives you a more accurate price.
3. Packing & Preparation
On collection day, our trained crew arrives with protective blankets, covers and packing materials. We can provide a full packing service for smaller items if required, or simply focus on protecting the furniture. Larger items may be dismantled where sensible, with all fixings kept safe and clearly labelled.
4. Loading & Transport
Your furniture is carefully carried out of the property, wrapped and securely loaded into our purpose-built removals vehicles. We use industry-standard strapping and stacking techniques to prevent movement in transit. Your goods are then transported directly to our secure storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the facility, we unload and place your items in clean, dry storage units or containers. Everything is stacked to minimise pressure on delicate pieces, and a basic inventory is recorded so we know what belongs to you. When you are ready for redelivery, we reverse the process and place items back into your property where requested.
Transparent Furniture Storage Pricing
We aim to keep pricing straightforward and easy to understand. Your total cost will usually include:
- Collection: labour and vehicle time from your property to our store
- Storage: a weekly or monthly rate based on volume and duration
- Redelivery: labour and vehicle time back to your new or existing address
Factors that influence price include access difficulties, the need for dismantling, packing services, and how long you plan to store your furniture. We explain all charges clearly in writing so you know exactly what is included before you book.
Why Use Professional Furniture Storage Instead of DIY
Trying to move and store furniture yourself, or using a casual man-and-van, often leads to damage, injury or hidden costs. Our professional service offers:
- Trained teams who know how to protect and handle bulky and fragile items
- Proper vehicles with equipment to load and secure heavy furniture safely
- Fully insured cover for your goods while in our care
- Secure, monitored storage rather than damp garages or makeshift spaces
- Clear paperwork, dates and pricing – no last-minute surprises
In many cases, the small saving of doing it yourself is quickly outweighed by the cost of repairing or replacing damaged items, or the time and stress involved.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance while we are transporting your furniture
- Public liability cover for work carried out in and around your property
- Trained moving teams following safe lifting and handling practices
We follow established removals industry standards in packing, loading and storing items, and we are always happy to explain how your furniture will be protected at each stage.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your furniture is treated as if it were our own. We use clean protective blankets, mattress and sofa covers, and, where needed, specialist wrapping for high-value pieces. We plan the loading to avoid stacking heavy items on more delicate ones, and we store everything in dry, secure conditions.
We also aim to work as sustainably as possible by reusing durable packing materials, optimising vehicle loads to reduce journeys, and responsibly recycling materials at the end of their life. Where possible, we encourage re-use of furniture rather than disposal.
Typical Real-World Use Cases
Moving House
If your completion dates do not line up, or you are moving into temporary accommodation, storing furniture removes the pressure of trying to fit everything into a short window. We can collect from your old home, store for as long as needed, and deliver into your new property once you have the keys.
Office Relocation or Refurbishment
Businesses often need short-term storage while fitting out new premises or reconfiguring existing space. We can remove surplus desks, seating and cabinets, store them safely, and return only what you need – ideal for moves to flexible or hybrid working arrangements.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
Life does not always give much notice. If you need to vacate a property quickly, our storage service can provide a safe temporary home for your furniture. We will always do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice collections where our schedule allows.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Strawberry Hill cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much furniture you have, how long you need to store it, and the access at your property. We charge a one-off fee for collection, a weekly or monthly storage rate based on volume, and a redelivery fee when you are ready for your items back. There are no hidden extras – any packing materials or dismantling needed will be clearly listed on your quote. Contact us with a rough inventory and we will provide a tailored estimate.
Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where our schedule allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day collections for urgent storage needs in Strawberry Hill and nearby areas. This is subject to vehicle and crew availability, and to the size of the job. If you are working to a tight deadline, let us know as early as possible and we will prioritise your request where we can. Even when we cannot do same-day, we will usually be able to offer a prompt alternative within a very short timescale.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and transit?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved in our vehicles, and by our storage insurance while it is in our facility, subject to the terms and declared value. We also hold public liability cover for work at your property. We will explain the level of cover and any exclusions before you book, and you are welcome to request higher-value cover if needed for particularly expensive items.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
Our standard service includes collection from your property, basic protection of furniture with blankets and covers, transport to our secure facility, storage for the agreed period, and redelivery to your chosen address. Additional services such as full packing of smaller items, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, or specialist packing for fragile pieces can be added if required. We will confirm exactly what is included in your quote so you know precisely what to expect on the day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically provides transport only, with limited or no insurance, and no dedicated storage facility. We offer a complete, professionally managed service with trained staff, appropriate equipment, fully insured cover and secure, monitored storage. We also carry out surveys for larger jobs, plan access, provide proper protective materials and keep a record of your stored items. This greatly reduces the risk of damage or loss and gives you a clear point of contact throughout.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
Where possible, we recommend booking 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 arrange surveys if needed and to schedule the right team and vehicle. However, we know plans can change suddenly, so we always keep some flexibility for short-notice jobs. Even if your dates are uncertain, it is worth getting in touch early so we can pencil you into our diary and adjust if required.
