Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

If you're moving house, decluttering for a sale or renovating, our storage gives you extra space when you need it most. We can store full house contents or just a few bulky items until you're ready for them back.

Renters

Between tenancies or downsizing? We can collect items from your rental property, place them into storage and return them to your new address when your keys are ready. Ideal if move-in and move-out dates don’t quite match.

Landlords

Need to clear a property between tenants or store furniture while converting to unfurnished lets? We offer flexible storage options and careful handling to protect your assets.

Businesses

Our storage is ideal for office furniture, documents and archives, stock, equipment and seasonal items. We can collect directly from your premises and return items as your space requirements change.

Students

Heading home for the holidays or studying abroad? Our student storage covers boxes, suitcases, small furniture and study equipment, so you don’t need to transport everything back and forth each term.

What We Can Store

We handle a wide range of household and commercial items, including:

• Household furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (defrosted and dry)
• Boxes and containers of personal belongings
• Clothing, books, toys and hobby equipment
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment
• Retail stock, promotional materials and display equipment
• Sports and gym equipment

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot store:

• Perishable goods or food items
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including paint solvents, gas bottles and fuel)
• Illegal goods or items of unknown origin
• Live plants or animals
• Cash, jewellery or high-value documents best kept in a safe or bank facility
• Weapons, ammunition or restricted items

If you are unsure whether something can be stored, we will advise you clearly before collection.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with details of what you need to store, your location and timings. We ask a few practical questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and redelivery if required.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger volumes, we offer a virtual or onsite survey to assess access, parking, item sizes and any special handling needs. This helps us allocate the right vehicle, team and storage space, and ensures there are no surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or choose our professional packing service. Our teams use quality packing materials, furniture blankets and protective covers to prevent scratches, dents and dust while in storage. Appliances are disconnected and prepared correctly.

4. Loading & Transport

On collection day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and walls where needed, and carefully loads your items onto our vehicles. Everything is secured for transport using straps and blankets before being driven directly to the storage facility.

5. Unloading & Placement in Storage

At the storage facility, we unload and place items into your allocated unit in an organised way, ensuring boxes are stacked safely and fragile items are properly supported. An inventory can be created on request so you know exactly what is stored.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will typically include:

• Collection from your Surrey address
• Labour for loading and unloading
• Transport to the storage facility
• Weekly or monthly storage charges, based on unit size
• Optional packing materials and packing service

Costs depend on the volume of items, access conditions, distance and storage duration. We will always explain how the price is calculated and suggest ways to optimise costs, such as decluttering first or choosing the most efficient unit size.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY

Using a professional storage and removals service saves time, reduces risk and often works out more cost-effective than hiring a van and doing it yourself. Our experienced teams know how to lift and move heavy furniture safely, protect fragile items and maximise space in your storage unit.

With DIY or casual man-and-van services, there is a higher chance of damage, inadequate insurance and poor packing that can lead to problems in storage. We combine reliable transport, correct handling and proper cover so your belongings are looked after from door to store.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are protected by appropriate goods in transit insurance while we transport them to and from storage. We also hold public liability cover for work carried out on your premises and at the storage facility.

Our moving teams are trained in lifting techniques, packing methods and safe vehicle loading. We follow clear procedures to minimise risk of damage and keep you informed at every stage. Documentation and receipts are provided so you have a clear record of what has been stored and when.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped in blankets, mattresses are protected with covers and fragile items are carefully packed. We avoid stacking in a way that could cause long-term pressure damage while items are in storage.

Where possible, we use reusable protective materials, recycle cardboard and minimise unnecessary journeys by careful route planning. This approach reduces waste and helps lower the overall environmental impact of your move and storage.

Common Storage Use Cases

Moving House

If there’s a gap between selling and completing on your new property, storage gives you flexibility. We can collect your full house contents, store them securely and deliver everything to your new home on the agreed date.

Office Relocation

Businesses often use storage when relocating or refurbishing premises. We can store desks, chairs, filing cabinets, stock and equipment while your new space is being prepared, then deliver it back in a phased manner to suit your plans.

Urgent or Same-Day Situations

Sometimes storage is needed at short notice – a sale completes faster than expected, a tenancy ends quickly or building works overrun. Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-day or next-day collection into storage to help you avoid last-minute stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with collection in Surrey cost?

Pricing depends on three main factors: how much you need to store, how easy the access is, and how long you need storage for. We charge separately for collection and delivery, plus a weekly or monthly fee for the storage unit itself. Smaller loads and short-term storage naturally cost less, while full house contents or long-term commercial storage will be higher. Once we know your requirements, we provide a clear written quote so you can see exactly what you’re paying for and avoid any surprises.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage in Surrey?

In many cases, yes. If we have vehicle space and storage availability, we can arrange same-day or next-day collection for urgent situations, such as a sale completing faster than expected or a tenancy ending suddenly. The more information you can give us when you call, the quicker we can confirm options. Urgent bookings are subject to availability and may carry a premium, but we will always explain costs clearly before you commit to anything.

Are my belongings insured while in storage and during transport?

Yes. Your items are covered by goods in transit insurance while we are moving them between your property and the storage facility. We also carry public liability cover for work on-site. Storage facilities we work with have their own security measures in place, and additional insurance for high-value items can usually be arranged if needed. We will discuss the level of cover with you before the move so you understand what is included and can declare any particularly valuable belongings.

What’s included in your storage service?

Our service can include everything from door-to-door collection to final redelivery. Typically, we provide a removals team, vehicle, loading and unloading, transport to the storage facility and placement of your items into a suitable unit. We also offer optional packing materials and a professional packing service if you prefer us to handle everything. You simply choose the elements you need. We explain clearly what’s included in your quote so you know exactly which services you’re getting.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van will usually offer transport only, often without proper insurance, protective materials or trained staff. Our service combines professional removals expertise with secure storage, correct handling techniques and appropriate insurance. We plan access, protect your property and belongings, and ensure items are stored safely for the duration. This reduces the risk of damage, hidden costs and disputes, and gives you a single responsible point of contact from collection through to redelivery.

How far in advance should I book storage and collection?

Ideally, we recommend booking as soon as you know your dates, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. A week or two’s notice is usually enough for standard jobs, but we can often accommodate shorter notice depending on our schedule and storage availability. Early booking helps secure your preferred dates and allows us to carry out a survey if needed. Even if your dates are not fixed, it’s worth talking to us early so we can pencil you in and advise on options.
