Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: property type, number of rooms, main items, and preferred dates. We respond promptly with an initial estimate and explain how our storage options work, including minimum terms and access arrangements.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything more than a few items, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volume, access, parking and any fragile or bulky items. We then confirm a clear, itemised quotation with no hidden extras.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed day, our trained team arrives with covers and materials. We can provide:

• Full packing service – we pack everything for you
• Part packing – you pack smaller items, we wrap furniture
• Self-packing – you pack, we supply materials on request

Furniture is wrapped, mattresses bagged, and fragile items protected to storage standard.

4. Loading & Transport

We load your items methodically, creating an inventory for stored goods. Vehicles are equipped with transit blankets, straps and trolleys. Your belongings are then transported to our secure storage facility and placed into allocated units or containers.

5. Unloading & Placement (Redelivery)

When you are ready, we arrange redelivery from storage to your chosen address. We unload, unwrap and place items in the rooms you request, helping to reassemble basic furniture by prior agreement.

Transparent Pricing for Storage in Earls Court

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your storage cost typically has three elements:

• Collection & handling – labour, vehicle and materials on collection day
• Ongoing storage – a weekly or monthly rate based on volume (cubic feet/metres)
• Redelivery – labour and transport when you want items back

Prices vary depending on access, volume, notice period and any additional packing required. We explain all charges in writing before you book, so you know exactly what you are paying for and can budget with confidence.

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

While self-storage and casual man-and-van options can look cheaper, they often leave you doing most of the heavy lifting and managing risks yourself. With our professional storage service you benefit from:

• Trained staff to handle heavy and fragile items safely
• Proper wrapping and protection for longer-term storage
• Accurate inventories and labelled items
• Coordinated collection, storage and redelivery from one provider
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover

This reduces the risk of damage, injury, or unexpected costs compared with doing it all yourself.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important to you, and we take that seriously. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance while items are being moved
• Public liability cover for work in and around your property
• Trained teams following safe lifting and handling practices
• Use of appropriate equipment, including trolleys and protective covers

We work to professional moving standards and keep clear records of what is stored and where, giving you confidence that your items are in safe hands from start to finish.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to handle your belongings with the same care we would use for our own. That means:

• Using furniture blankets, mattress bags and shrink-wrap where required
• Keeping storage areas clean, dry and well ventilated
• Stacking and storing items to avoid crushing or warping

We also pay attention to sustainability by reusing good-quality cartons, choosing recyclable materials where possible and planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

Chains rarely line up perfectly. Our storage bridges the gap between completion dates, keeping your possessions safe until your new home in or outside Earls Court is ready.

Office Relocation

Businesses use our storage when phasing an office move, waiting for fit-out works, or holding archive files and spare furniture off-site to free up expensive office space.

Urgent Moves and Emergencies

Sometimes you do not get much notice – unexpected landlord decisions, insurance works, or personal circumstances. We can often arrange urgent storage at short notice, collecting items quickly and sorting finer details once everything is safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Earls Court cost?

Costs depend on three main factors: how much you store, how long for, and the work involved in collection and redelivery. We normally charge a fixed fee for collection and handling, a weekly or monthly storage rate based on volume, and a separate fee for redelivery. During your survey we estimate the cubic capacity of your goods so we can quote accurately. There are no hidden extras – all charges, including optional packing materials or additional labour, are explained upfront in writing.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice storage collections in Earls Court and surrounding areas. If you need urgent help, contact us as early as possible with details of your property, access and items. We will check vehicle and crew availability and advise you of realistic time windows. Even for urgent jobs we still work methodically, ensuring basic protection and a clear record of what is going into storage so nothing is overlooked or misplaced.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved and, subject to our terms, by our storage cover while in our facility. This is designed for typical household and office contents. We will explain the key limits, exclusions and any valuation requirements when we prepare your quote. Very high-value items, antiques or collections may need separate specialist cover arranged by you. Our aim is that you fully understand how your goods are protected before you commit to storing with us.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard service includes collection from your property, protective wrapping of furniture, safe loading, transport to our storage facility, secure storage in a suitable unit or container, and redelivery on request. We can also provide packing materials or a full packing service if you prefer not to pack yourself. A basic inventory is taken for stored items so we know exactly what is held and where. We discuss all options in advance so your service is tailored to what you actually need.

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

A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, leaving you to organise storage, protection and insurance yourself. We provide an integrated, professional solution with trained staff, appropriate equipment, proper wrapping, documented inventories and purpose-managed storage facilities. We also carry goods in transit insurance and public liability cover. This significantly reduces the risk of damage or loss, especially for longer periods in storage or more complex moves involving awkward access and multiple properties.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For planned moves or refurbishments, booking 1–3 weeks in advance usually gives the best choice of dates and times. However, we understand that completion dates and building schedules can change, so we remain as flexible as possible. If you are working to very tight deadlines or expect uncertainty, let us know early so we can pencil in provisional dates. For urgent situations we will always do our best to help at short notice, subject to crew and vehicle availability.
