Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

If you’re selling, renovating or downsizing, our storage service gives you extra space when you need it most. We can remove surplus furniture and boxes ahead of viewings, or hold items while building works are completed, then return everything once your home is ready.

Renters

Tenancy ending before your new place is available? We collect your belongings, place them into secure storage and deliver to your next property on your chosen date. Ideal for short-term gaps, relocations, or when you simply don’t want to commit to a larger flat just for extra storage.

Landlords

We help landlords clear and store furniture between tenancies, prepare properties for refurbishment, or hold items while you switch from furnished to unfurnished lets (or vice versa). Our team can work to tight changeover windows and provide ongoing storage for retained furniture.

Businesses

From sole traders to growing companies, we offer storage for documents, stock, exhibition materials and office furniture. We can provide regular collections and returns, helping you free up expensive office or retail space without losing access to essential items.

Students

Moving out of halls for the summer or going on placement? We offer flexible student storage for boxes, bags, desks and small furniture. We collect from your Finsbury Park address, store securely and then deliver back when term starts or when you move into your next place.

What We Can Store

Our storage service is designed for the majority of household and business items, including:

• Sofas, armchairs, tables and chairs
• Beds, mattresses and wardrobes
• Boxes of clothes, books and personal belongings
• TVs, computers and small electrical items
• Office furniture and filing cabinets
• Shop fittings, displays and non-perishable stock
• Bikes and sports equipment

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons we cannot store:

• Perishable or open food items
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles, paint thinners and solvents)
• Illegal goods or items of unknown origin
• Cash, jewellery, high-value art or collectibles that require specialist cover
• Animals, plants or any living things
• Unregistered or leaking machinery (including fuelled garden tools)

If you are unsure whether we can store a particular item, we will advise during your enquiry so there are no surprises on collection day.

How Our Storage Service Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with a list of items or an approximate inventory. We will ask a few questions about access, timings and duration of storage, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote. Our pricing combines collection, storage and redelivery so you understand the total cost from the outset.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger jobs, we recommend a short virtual survey (video call) or an onsite visit. This lets us confirm volumes, assess any awkward items and plan parking or access. Accurate surveying helps avoid delays and ensures we send the right size vehicle and the right number of trained movers.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a full packing service, including materials such as boxes, tape and bubble wrap. On collection day, our team carefully prepares furniture for storage, protecting items with blankets and covers. We label everything clearly to make retrieval and redelivery straightforward.

4. Loading & Transport

Our professional movers load your belongings safely onto our vehicles using trolleys, straps and protective equipment where needed. Items are transported directly to our secure storage facility, minimising handling and reducing the risk of damage.

5. Secure Storage, Unloading & Placement

At the facility, your goods are unloaded into clean, dry storage units or containers. When you are ready for your items back, we arrange a convenient delivery slot, return your belongings to your new or existing address, and place furniture and boxes in the rooms you choose.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote will typically include:

• Collection and loading from your Finsbury Park address
• Transport to our storage facility
• Weekly or monthly storage charges based on volume
• Return delivery and unloading to your chosen address

Costs depend on how much you store, how long for, access conditions and whether you require packing services. We explain all charges clearly before you commit so you can compare options and choose what best fits your budget.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Basic Man-and-Van

Using a proper storage service offers benefits that self-storage and casual man-and-van arrangements often can’t match:

• Fully insured service with clear responsibility for your goods during handling and transport
• Trained staff who know how to protect and stack items safely for longer-term storage
• Planned collections and returns rather than uncertain availability
• Less lifting and carrying for you, reducing the risk of injury or damage
• Coordinated move-in and move-out, avoiding multiple trips in rented vans

DIY storage might seem cheaper at first glance, but once you factor in van hire, fuel, time off work, possible damage and lack of proper insurance, a professional service is often the more sensible option.

Insurance and Professional Standards

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

• Goods in transit insurance covering your items while they are being moved between properties and the storage facility
• Public liability cover to protect you and your property while we are working on-site
• Trained moving teams experienced in handling fragile, bulky and high-value items

We follow industry best practice for wrapping, stacking and securing items in storage. We will always provide clear terms and conditions so you understand exactly how your items are protected and what is required from you (for example, correctly packed boxes and declared values for certain items).

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to balance careful handling with a responsible approach to the environment:

• Use of reusable removal blankets and durable furniture covers
• Supply of high-quality boxes that can be reused multiple times
• Routing collections and deliveries efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Encouraging customers to donate or recycle unwanted items rather than store them unnecessarily

Our focus is always on protecting your belongings while avoiding waste wherever possible.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

When completion dates don’t quite line up, our storage service bridges the gap. We can move your entire home contents into storage for a few days, weeks or months and then deliver straight into your new property when you get the keys.

Office Relocation

Businesses often use our storage during phased office moves or refurbishments. We can hold surplus desks, archives or stock while new premises are fitted out, then deliver items as each area becomes ready.

Urgent or Same-Week Storage

Sometimes you need space quickly – a sudden sale, emergency repairs, or an unexpected change in tenancy. Subject to availability, we can provide rapid response storage, collecting and storing your goods at short notice and then working with you to plan the return.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Finsbury Park cost?

Storage costs depend on three main factors: how much space you need, how long you need it for, and whether you’d like us to pack for you. We usually base quotes on the volume of your goods, measured in cubic feet or metres, plus collection and redelivery charges. Short-term storage for a few boxes will be far less than a full three-bedroom home over several months. Once we know your inventory and timings, we’ll provide a clear, itemised quote so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?

In many cases, yes. If we have vehicle and space availability, we can arrange same-day or short-notice storage, particularly within Finsbury Park and nearby areas. The more information you can give us when you call – such as volume, access and deadlines – the faster we can confirm a plan. Urgent bookings may be subject to limited time slots and slightly higher rates due to scheduling pressure, but we will always be upfront about costs and options before you commit.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your property and our storage facility. Once they are in storage, standard cover applies in line with our terms and conditions, and you may choose to arrange additional insurance through your own provider if you wish. We will explain what is and isn’t covered, typical limits, and how to declare any items of particularly high value. Our aim is to make sure you are properly protected and fully informed from the outset.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes collection from your address, professional loading into our vehicle, transport to the storage facility, secure storage for the agreed period, and redelivery to your chosen address. We also provide basic protective materials such as removal blankets and furniture covers. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of boxes and packing materials, and dismantling or reassembling certain items of furniture. We will confirm exactly what is included in your quote so you can tailor the service to your needs and budget.

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

With us, you’re getting more than just a van and driver or a lock-up. Our trained team handles your items from door to store, using proper techniques and protection. You don’t need to hire a van, lift heavy furniture yourself or worry about stacking items safely in a unit. We include goods in transit insurance, plan access and parking, and coordinate the return of your items when you need them. It’s a joined-up service, not just transport or space, which usually results in less stress and a lower risk of damage.

How far in advance should I book storage?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you know you’ll need storage, especially during busy periods such as summer, month-end and around university term dates. A week or two’s notice is usually enough for most standard jobs, but larger moves and long-term storage benefit from earlier planning. That said, we understand that circumstances change quickly, so we always try to accommodate last-minute requests where possible. The sooner you contact us, the more choice you’ll have over dates, times and pricing.
