Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Perfect if you are between properties, decluttering for a sale, renovating, or downsizing. We can store full house contents or just a few bulky items such as sofas, beds and wardrobes.

Renters

Ideal when your tenancy dates do not line up, you are moving into temporary accommodation, or you simply need extra space. We offer short-term and longer-term storage options to suit changing plans.

Landlords

Need to empty a property between tenants, refurbish, or store furniture for a HMO or serviced flat? We can collect, catalogue and store items safely, then deliver them back when needed.

Businesses

We support local offices, retailers and small businesses with storage for documents, stock, event equipment, furniture and seasonal items. Our fully insured teams can dismantle, pack and label for easy retrieval.

Students

If you are between terms, on placement or moving home for the summer, we offer affordable storage for boxes, suitcases, bikes and small furniture – with collection and redelivery arranged around your schedule.

What We Can Place into Storage

Almost anything you would normally move in a van can be stored with us, including:

• Household furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (defrosted), cookers
• Boxes and crates of personal belongings, books, clothes and kitchenware
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment (properly packed)
• Sports equipment, bicycles and hobby items
• Luggage, suitcases and storage bags

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we are unable to place the following into storage:

• Perishable goods and food items
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles, fuels, paints, chemicals)
• Illegal goods or stolen property
• Live plants, animals or any living creatures
• Cash, high-value jewellery or important documents that should be kept with you
• Items in poor condition that may leak, rot or cause damage to other goods

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

How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with a list of items, photos or an estimate of volume. We ask a few straightforward questions and provide a clear, written quote including collection, storage and redelivery, so you know exactly what to expect.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger jobs or full properties, we may arrange a video or onsite survey. This helps us confirm the right size of storage, number of staff and vehicle required. It also allows us to identify access issues such as stairs, lifts or parking restrictions in Knightsbridge.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack boxes yourself, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our team brings materials such as boxes, tape, bubble wrap and furniture covers. Items are protected for storage, labelled clearly and listed on an inventory if required.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

On collection day, our trained movers carefully load your belongings onto our vehicles, using blankets, straps and covers. We then transport them directly to our secure storage facility, ensuring everything is handled safely from door to door.

5. Unloading into Storage & Redelivery

At the facility, we load your items into secure units or containers, stacked correctly to avoid damage and maximise space. When you are ready, we schedule redelivery to your new address, unload and place items into the rooms you specify.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Costs are based on:

• The volume of items (how much space you need)
• The length of time in storage
• Collection and redelivery distance and access
• Any optional extras such as packing or dismantling

We provide written quotations with all charges explained, so you know your monthly or weekly storage cost in advance. There are no hidden fees for basic handling, and if your requirements change, we adapt your plan and discuss any price adjustments before proceeding.

Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY?

Using a professional storage service like ours in Knightsbridge offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:

• Trained movers handle heavy and awkward items safely, reducing risk of injury or damage.
• Goods are protected with proper wrapping, blankets and covers before going into storage.
• We have goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, which informal operators often lack.
• You avoid multiple trips in small vehicles and the stress of arranging storage separately.
• Inventory and labelling mean items are easier to find and identify when you need them back.

In short, professional storage saves time, reduces risk and typically works out more cost-effective when you factor in van hire, fuel, time off work and potential damage.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. We operate to clear professional standards:

• Goods in transit insurance for items we move between your property and storage
• Public liability cover for work carried out in your home or business premises
• Trained moving teams using correct lifting and loading techniques
• Use of suitable vehicles, equipment and protective materials

We are always happy to explain our cover in more detail and advise on any particularly high-value items that may need additional arrangements.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to minimise both damage and waste throughout the storage process. Furniture is wrapped and covered, appliances are prepared correctly, and boxes are stacked to avoid crushing. Where possible we reuse sturdy boxes and protective materials, and we source new materials from responsible suppliers.

By using well-planned loads and efficient routing, we reduce unnecessary journeys around Knightsbridge and beyond. Our focus is on doing things properly first time, which is better for your belongings and better for the environment.

Real-World Ways Our Storage Helps

Moving House

Chains often do not line up. We can move you out, store your contents securely, and then deliver everything once you receive the keys to your new home. This takes the pressure off completion dates.

Office Relocation

When offices are being refurbished or relocated, we store furniture, files and equipment until the new space is ready. This keeps workspaces clear and reduces downtime for your team.

Urgent or Last-Minute Moves

Occasionally, people need to vacate a property at short notice. We can collect, store and then work with you to plan the final delivery once your long-term arrangements are in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Knightsbridge cost?

Pricing depends on how much space you need, how long you store for, and the distance and access for collection and redelivery. Smaller loads and short-term storage are naturally cheaper, while full house contents or long-term business storage will cost more. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear written quote showing collection, storage and delivery separately, so you can see exactly what you are paying for and adjust the plan to suit your budget.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

Where our schedule allows, we can respond to same-day or next-day requests in Knightsbridge, especially for smaller loads. It is always best to call as early as possible so we can check vehicle and crew availability and confirm a realistic time window. For urgent cases, we focus on getting your belongings safely collected and into secure storage first, then we work with you to arrange redelivery once your longer-term plans are clearer.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

We provide goods in transit insurance for items while they are being moved between your property and the storage facility, and we hold public liability cover while working in your home or business. Storage facilities also have their own levels of protection. We will always explain what is covered and recommend you keep particularly high-value or irreplaceable items (such as jewellery or important documents) with you, or check whether they can be added to your own home insurance policy.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard service includes collection from your address, loading by our professional team, transport to a secure storage facility and unloading into the storage unit or container. We provide basic protective materials such as furniture blankets and covers. Optional extras include full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembly of larger items, additional protective wrapping and inventories. Redelivery from storage to your new address is quoted separately, so you have full visibility of each stage.

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

A casual man-and-van will typically just move items from A to B, often without formal insurance, trained staff or proper packing. Our storage service is managed end to end: we survey where needed, plan vehicle and crew, protect your belongings, provide goods in transit insurance, and place everything into secure storage with an organised layout. You are dealing with a professional removals company that understands access issues in Knightsbridge and takes responsibility for your belongings throughout.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of dates and times, it is wise to book at least 1–2 weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as month-end and summer. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always do our best to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. Even if your dates are not completely fixed, it is useful to have an initial discussion so we can pencil you in and adapt the booking as things firm up.
