Our Step-by-Step Furniture Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online and tell us what furniture you need to store, where from, and for how long. We will ask a few questions about access (stairs, lifts, parking) and provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and eventual re-delivery.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger volumes or full properties, we may arrange a short video or onsite survey. This lets us see the items, plan the right team and vehicle, and confirm the size of storage unit required. It keeps costs accurate and avoids surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
On collection day, our team arrives with covers, blankets and basic protection materials. We can professionally wrap delicate furniture and disassemble larger pieces where needed. If you prefer, we also offer a full packing service for boxed items that will go into storage with your furniture.
4. Loading & Transport
Your furniture is carefully carried out of the property, protected with padded blankets and loaded into our vehicles using straps to prevent movement in transit. We work methodically to avoid scuffs, and we treat your home with respect, protecting floors and walls where required.
5. Storage, Unloading & Placement
At our facility, items are unloaded and placed in your designated storage area or container. Everything is stacked safely to prevent pressure damage. When you are ready for your furniture back, we arrange a convenient delivery date and time, bring everything to your new address and place items in the rooms you choose.
Transparent Pricing for Furniture Storage
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote will typically include:
- Collection from your address (including labour and vehicle)
- Storage charge based on the space you actually need
- Standard protective materials and blankets
- Re-delivery to your chosen address
Costs depend on volume, access, distance and storage duration. Short-term storage is available from a few weeks, while long-term storage can be arranged on a rolling monthly basis with competitive rates for extended stays.
Why Use Professional Storage & Removal Teams Instead of DIY
Using a professional removals and storage company is usually safer, quicker and more economical than doing it yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van. Our teams are trained in manual handling, know how to protect furniture, and arrive with the right equipment to manage stairs, tight corners and heavy items.
DIY moves often lead to scratched furniture, damaged walls and personal injury, particularly with heavy sofas, wardrobes and appliances. With us, your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance, you avoid the stress, and everything is stored correctly to minimise the risk of warping or damp.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Storage Streatham operates to professional industry standards, with robust protections in place:
- Goods in transit insurance while we move your furniture to and from storage
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Trained, uniformed crews experienced in handling all types of furniture
- Documented inventory on request, so you know exactly what is stored
We are committed to clear communication, punctuality and respectful treatment of both your belongings and your property at all times.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take genuine care of each item we store. Sofas and mattresses are protected from dust, wooden furniture is kept in stable conditions to reduce the risk of swelling or cracking, and items are stacked so that weight is distributed sensibly.
Where possible, we use reusable blankets and durable plastic crates rather than disposable materials, and we aim to minimise unnecessary journeys by planning routes efficiently. Any cardboard or plastic we do use is recycled wherever facilities allow.
Real-World Uses for Our Furniture Storage Service
Moving House
Completion dates do not always line up, and sometimes your new property is not quite ready. We can store your furniture in the gap between moves, collecting from your old home and delivering once you get the keys.
Office Relocations & Refits
Businesses often need to clear floors for refits or downsize without getting rid of valuable office furniture. We can remove, store and later return desks, chairs and cabinets as your space evolves.
Renovations and Decorating
Keeping furniture in rooms while you renovate risks paint, dust and accidental damage. Putting items into storage keeps them safe and gives tradespeople room to work more efficiently.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
If you need to clear a property quickly due to a sale, tenancy change or other urgent situation, we can often offer rapid collection and short-notice storage, subject to availability. This buys you time to make longer-term decisions about what to keep, sell or donate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Streatham cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space your furniture takes, how easy access is at your property, and how long you need storage. We price fairly based on volume rather than charging for a lot of empty space. Your quote will include collection, storage and re-delivery so you know the full cost from the outset. As a guide, a small flat’s furniture can often be stored surprisingly affordably. Contact us with a quick list of items and we will provide a clear, itemised estimate.
Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where capacity allows, we can arrange same-day or short-notice storage collections in Streatham and nearby areas. This is particularly useful for emergency moves, last-minute tenancy changes or urgent clearances. Availability does vary depending on how busy our schedule is, so the earlier you contact us, the better the chance we can help on the same day. If we cannot attend immediately, we will always try to offer the earliest possible slot that fits your situation.
Are my items insured while in storage and during transport?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from the storage facility, and by our standard cover while stored with us. This protection is designed to cover you against loss or damage in the unlikely event something goes wrong. We are also backed by public liability cover while working at your property. We will explain the key terms and any limits in plain language before you book so you know exactly how you are protected.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
Our service typically includes collection by a professional removals team, loading, transport to our facility, secure storage and re-delivery when you are ready. We use blankets and basic protective materials for your furniture as standard. If required, we can add services such as professional packing, disassembly and reassembly of larger items, and the provision of additional packaging supplies. Your quote will clearly state what is included so you can compare options and avoid any unexpected extras.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
Unlike many casual man-and-van operators, we provide a structured, fully managed service with trained teams, proper equipment, documented procedures and appropriate insurances. We do more than just transport: we assess access, protect your items, carefully load and unload, and provide secure, monitored storage. Our focus is on minimising risk to your furniture and property, not just moving items as quickly as possible. For valuable or sentimental pieces, this level of care and accountability makes a significant difference.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as month-end and summer. However, we understand that plans change and sometimes storage is needed at short notice. We will always do our best to accommodate late bookings where our schedule and storage capacity allow. Even if your dates are not yet fixed, getting in touch early means we can advise, give guide prices and hold provisional slots where possible.
