Our storage service is designed for people who want more than a basic lock-up. We collect, wrap, pack, transport, store and return your items with care, using our own trained team and vehicles. You don’t have to hire a van, lift heavy furniture, or worry about damage in transit – we manage the whole process.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

If you’re selling, renovating or downsizing, storage can keep your home clear and safe. We regularly store furniture, white goods and personal items while clients complete on their sale, carry out building work or stage their property for viewings.

Renters

Between tenancies or moving into a furnished place? Storage lets you keep your own furniture and belongings without giving anything up. We can store for a few weeks or many months and then deliver directly to your new address when you’re ready.

Landlords

Landlords in Tufnell Park use our storage to hold furniture between lets, protect items during refurbishments, or store appliances while replacing flooring and kitchens. We can also help clear and store contents during major repairs or insurance works.

Businesses

Local businesses rely on us for commercial storage of documents, boxed archives, excess stock, exhibition stands and office furniture. We collect outside working hours if needed, and return items to your office, shop or workspace on a schedule that suits you.

Students

Students at nearby universities and colleges often need short-term storage between terms. We offer compact, cost-effective solutions for boxes, suitcases, small furniture and bikes – ideal if you’re heading home for the summer and don’t want to move everything twice.

What We Can and Cannot Store

Items Commonly Stored

We can safely store most household and office items, including:

• Furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes and cabinets
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges (defrosted), microwaves
• Boxes of clothes, books, toys and personal effects
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment
• Stock, promotional materials and archived files
• Bikes, sports equipment and small garden tools (clean and dry)

Items We Cannot Store

• Perishable goods, food or plants
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles, paint thinners and solvents)
• Illegal items or anything of doubtful ownership
• Live animals or any living creatures
• Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents such as passports and wills

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you before booking.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online and tell us what you need to store, where from, and for how long. We’ll ask a few questions about volumes, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any fragile or bulky items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, transport, storage and redelivery.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger loads or full properties, we may recommend a brief virtual or onsite survey. This lets us accurately assess the volume, number of containers or unit size required, and plan for access or parking restrictions typical of Tufnell Park streets. A proper survey ensures there are no surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

On collection day, our trained team arrives with removal blankets, trolleys and protective materials. We offer:

• Full packing service – we pack everything into cartons
• Part packing – we handle fragile or large items only
• Self-packing – you pack, and we simply collect

Furniture is wrapped and, where suitable, dismantled to maximise space and protect it in transit and storage.

4. Loading & Transport

We carefully load your items onto our vehicles, using blankets and strapping to keep everything secure. Our drivers know Tufnell Park’s roads, parking controls and traffic patterns, so we plan routes and timings to minimise delays. Once loaded, we transport directly to the chosen storage facility.

5. Unloading & Placement in Storage

At the storage facility, we unload items methodically, stacking and arranging them to avoid pressure damage and to make future access easier. We maintain an inventory so you know exactly what’s stored. When you’re ready, we reverse the process – collecting from storage and delivering to your new address, unloading and placing items in the rooms you specify.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We structure our storage pricing so you know precisely what you’re paying for. Costs typically include:

• Collection and transport from your property
• Storage charges based on unit size or container count and length of stay
• Optional packing materials and packing service
• Redelivery and unloading at the end of the storage period

We’ll explain all charges upfront, including any minimum storage period or notice required to access or remove your items. There are no hidden extras, and we can tailor the service to meet your budget, from simple collection-only storage to full packing and redelivery.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY?

Using a professional storage and removals company gives you several advantages over hiring a van or using a casual man-and-van service:

• Less physical strain – we handle the heavy lifting, stairs and tight doorways
• Reduced risk of damage thanks to skilled handling and proper protection
• Accurate space planning, so you don’t overpay for unused storage
• Reliable timings and clear communication – essential when coordinating moves or refurbishments
• Proper insurance cover for goods in transit and in storage

Many DIY attempts end up costing more in van hire, fuel, extra trips and accidental damage than a well-planned professional service.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings remain protected from the moment we pick them up until we deliver them back. We carry goods in transit insurance for the journey and partner with facilities that offer robust, monitored security while in storage. In addition, our public liability cover protects you and your property during handling on-site.

Our teams are trained in safe lifting, securing loads, and protecting delicate items. As a local, established operator in Tufnell Park, our reputation depends on consistent, careful work and honest communication.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat stored items as if they were our own. That means proper wrapping, logical stacking and attention to anything fragile or sensitive. We use reusable transit blankets, re-usable crates where practical, and aim to minimise waste.

We encourage customers to reuse boxes, choose recyclable materials and avoid unnecessary single-use plastics. Efficient packing not only saves space and money; it also reduces our environmental footprint by requiring fewer journeys and smaller units.

Typical Storage Use Cases

Moving House

Chains don’t always line up neatly. If you have to move out before your new home is ready, we can place all or part of your belongings into storage, then deliver them once you get your keys. Many Tufnell Park customers store non-essentials while keeping day-to-day items with them.

Office Relocations and Refits

Renovating or relocating an office is easier when desks, files and equipment are out of the way. We can clear your space, store everything securely, and return it in stages as your new set-up is completed, helping you keep operations running smoothly.

Urgent and Short-Notice Storage

Life doesn’t always give much warning. If you face an unexpected change – a sudden move, a leak, or urgent building works – we’ll do our best to arrange same-day or next-day collection into storage, subject to availability. We’re used to working quickly and calmly in pressured situations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with collection and delivery cost?

Costs depend on three main factors: how much you’re storing, how long for, and how complex collection and delivery are. Typically, you’ll pay a one-off fee for collection and transport, a weekly or monthly storage charge based on unit size, and a separate fee for redelivery. Optional extras such as packing, materials and dismantling/reassembly can be added if needed. We provide a clear written estimate before you book, so you can see exactly what each element costs and adjust the service to suit your budget.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in Tufnell Park?

In many cases, yes. If we have vehicle and crew availability, we can arrange same-day or next-day collection into storage for urgent situations, such as emergency repairs, sudden tenancy changes or unexpected completion dates. The more detail you can give us when you call – item list, access details, timing – the quicker we can confirm a slot. Peak periods are busier, so if you know in advance that you may need storage, it’s best to contact us as early as possible.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while we’re moving them, and the storage facilities we use have their own security and insurance arrangements. We’ll explain the cover levels and any exclusions clearly when quoting. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend additional cover through your own insurer. Proper packing and professional handling reduce the risk of damage, but knowing there is insurance in place gives you extra peace of mind throughout the storage period.

What’s included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes collection from your property, careful loading onto our vehicles, transport to a secure facility, and safe unloading and stacking inside your storage space. At the end of your term, we collect from storage and deliver back to your chosen address, unloading to the rooms you specify. You can add services such as packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and the supply of materials like boxes and tape. We tailor the package so you only pay for what you actually need.

How is this different from a basic man-and-van or self-storage?

With us, you get a coordinated, professional service rather than just a driver and vehicle. We plan the job, protect your items, manage the loading and unloading, and liaise with the storage facility on your behalf. You don’t have to arrange your own unit, drive an unfamiliar van, or carry heavy furniture yourself. Compared with self-storage, our managed approach saves time, reduces the risk of damage, and provides a single point of contact for both moving and storage.

How far in advance should I book storage?

Where possible, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead, especially during busy moving periods such as summer and month-end. This gives us time to arrange surveys if needed, reserve suitable storage space, and secure convenient collection and delivery times for you. That said, we regularly handle short-notice and urgent requests. If your plans are uncertain, we can pencil in provisional dates and adjust them as your situation becomes clearer, keeping you updated at each stage.
