How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us with a rough list of what you need to store, your current address, and how long you expect to need storage. We provide a clear, no-obligation estimate, outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs so you can plan with confidence.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger loads or complex access, we arrange a short video or onsite survey. This lets us see stairs, lifts, parking and the volume of items, so we allocate the right team, vehicle and materials. Accurate surveys reduce the risk of extra charges or delays.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or choose our professional packing service. Our trained team bring sturdy boxes, wrapping and protective materials, carefully preparing furniture and fragile items for safe storage. We label and create a simple inventory so you know what is where.

4. Loading & Transport

On collection day, our professional movers protect floors and doorways, dismantle agreed items where needed and load the van methodically. Everything is secured for transit to the storage facility, minimising movement and risk of damage along the way.

5. Storage, Unloading & Final Placement

At the storage facility, your goods are unloaded into designated, secure storage space. When you’re ready, we schedule redelivery and our team brings everything back, placing items in the rooms you choose and reassembling agreed furniture.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We believe storage should be straightforward to budget for. Our pricing is based on:

• The volume of goods (measured in cubic feet or metres)
• Collection and redelivery distance and access
• Duration of storage (short-term or long-term)
• Optional services such as packing, materials and furniture dismantling

You receive a written quote outlining all expected costs. There are no hidden admin fees, and we explain how any extensions or changes to your storage term would be charged before you commit.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?

Using professional removals and storage specialists offers several advantages over hiring a cheap van or casual help:

• Trained teams who know how to pack, lift and stack safely
• Fully insured services with goods in transit and public liability cover
• Appropriate vehicles with securing points and protective equipment
• Access to secure, purpose-managed storage facilities, not garages or sheds
• Clear documentation and inventory for your stored goods

DIY options might seem cheaper at first glance, but when you add vehicle hire, fuel, time off work, risk of damage and lack of insurance, a professional, well-organised service is typically far better value and far less stressful.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance while items are being collected or delivered
• Public liability cover to protect you and your property
• Trained moving teams experienced in handling fragile and bulky items

We follow industry best practices for packing, loading and storage. If you have high-value or particularly delicate items, tell us in advance so we can discuss any additional cover or special handling that may be appropriate.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take the condition of your belongings seriously. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are bagged, and fragile items receive extra padding and careful placement. We use reusable blankets and re‑use sturdy boxes where practical, reducing waste.

Wherever possible we choose recyclable materials and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. Our aim is to protect your goods while keeping our environmental impact as low as is reasonably practical.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House with a Gap Between Dates

When completion dates don’t line up, we collect your full household, store it securely for the required period, then deliver everything to your new home on the agreed day. You deal with one team, one plan and one invoice instead of juggling multiple suppliers.

Office Refurbishment or Relocation

Businesses undergoing refurbishments use our storage to hold furniture, files and equipment while work is carried out. We can stagger redelivery to match phased fit-outs, minimising disruption and keeping your workspaces clear and safe.

Urgent or Last-Minute Storage Needs

Sometimes circumstances change quickly – a tenancy ends sooner than planned, building work overruns, or a sale completes faster than expected. Where availability allows, we offer urgent storage moves, helping you avoid panic clear-outs or rushed disposal of belongings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Surrey Quays cost?

Costs depend mainly on how much you store, how long for, and how complex the collection and redelivery are. We price by volume, with clear weekly or monthly rates, plus the cost of collection and final delivery. Optional services such as packing, materials and furniture dismantling are itemised so you can choose what you need. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a written quote with all expected charges, helping you compare like-for-like with other providers.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

Where our schedule allows, we can arrange same-day or short-notice storage collections in Surrey Quays and surrounding areas. This is particularly useful if a tenancy ends unexpectedly or building work runs over. Availability depends on vehicle and team capacity, so the sooner you contact us, the better. We will always be honest about what is achievable on the day and suggest practical alternatives if same-day is not realistic.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Yes. Our service includes goods in transit insurance while we are moving your belongings to and from storage, and the storage facilities themselves have appropriate cover in place. We explain the standard limits and any exclusions before you book, so you know exactly what is covered. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend additional insurance or ask you to notify your own insurer; we are happy to provide item lists or documentation where required.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes collection by our professional team, secure loading of your items, transport to a managed storage facility, and redelivery at the end of your storage period. We provide basic protective materials such as blankets and straps as standard. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of boxes and wrapping, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and creation of detailed inventories. We tailor the service to your needs rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all package.

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

A casual man-and-van might simply move your items from A to B, often without formal contracts, clear insurance, or secure storage. We provide a structured, fully insured service with trained staff, reliable vehicles and access to suitable storage facilities. We survey where appropriate, plan routes and access, protect your property, and document what is stored. This reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes, and gives you a single, accountable point of contact throughout the process.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of dates and to keep costs predictable, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy moving periods such as month-end and summer. However, we understand that storage needs are not always planned, so we do our best to accommodate shorter notice where possible. Even if your dates are not fixed, it helps to get in touch early so we can pencil in options and advise on the most practical timing.
