Local Expertise in Roehampton
We are based in Roehampton and have long-standing experience supporting local residents, landlords, student lets and businesses. Our knowledge of Roehampton’s estates, flats, residential streets and commercial premises means we can plan collections and deliveries efficiently, avoiding access problems and delays.
From purpose-built student blocks near campus to period houses and small shop units, we understand the practical realities of moving and storing furniture in this part of London and tailor our service accordingly.
Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, buying, or stuck in a chain, furniture storage can bridge the gap. Store entire room sets, garden furniture, appliances and more while you complete your move or renovation.
Renters
Between tenancies or moving into a smaller property? Keep your furniture safe and dry rather than trying to fit everything into a temporary flat or a friend’s garage.
Landlords
Store furniture during refurbishments, changeovers between furnished and unfurnished lets, or while you carry out repairs. We can handle whole-property clearances into storage.
Businesses
Offices, shops, salons and clinics use our furniture storage for desks, chairs, display units, stock shelving and reception furniture during relocations, refits or seasonal changes.
Students
Heading home for the holidays or a placement? Store beds, desks, drawers and sofas safely rather than dragging them between short-term rentals.

- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds

- Chest of drawers, bedside cabinets and bookcases

How Our Furniture Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a brief outline of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask some simple questions about the size and quantity of your furniture, access at your property and your timeframe. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote for collection, storage and return.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex jobs, we recommend a short survey. This can often be done virtually via video call or photos, or we can visit in person. The survey lets us accurately assess volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any special handling needs, so we bring the right vehicle, protective materials and team size on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, our trained team arrives with protective covers, blankets and packing materials. We can disassemble larger items where needed and wrap furniture to protect against scuffs, dust and moisture. If you prefer, you can do your own preparation and we will simply load and transport, but we are always happy to handle everything for you.
4. Loading & Transport
Your furniture is carefully loaded into our vehicles using ramps, trolleys and lifting techniques that protect both your items and our staff. Everything is secured for transport to our Roehampton storage facility. During this journey, your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance, giving you additional peace of mind.
5. Unloading & Storage Placement
On arrival, we unload your furniture directly into your allocated storage space. Items are stacked and arranged sensibly to prevent damage and to make future access easier. We can keep an inventory of stored items so that when you are ready for return, we know exactly what is coming back and can plan the delivery efficiently.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no surprises. Your cost will typically be made up of:
- Collection and loading fee (dependent on property access, volume and team size)
- Weekly or monthly storage charge based on unit size
- Return delivery fee when you are ready for your furniture back
Optional extras include professional packing, dismantling and reassembly. We explain all charges clearly in writing before you book. There are no hidden admin fees, and we can often offer better rates for longer-term storage.
Why Choose Professional Furniture Storage Over DIY
Using a professional storage company offers benefits that DIY or casual man-and-van options simply cannot match:
- Proper protection: Professional covers, blankets, wrapping and handling reduce the risk of damage.
- Fully insured: Your items are covered by goods in transit insurance and our public liability cover.
- Trained teams: Our staff are trained in lifting, loading and stacking to protect your furniture and your property.
- Secure facilities: Unlike garages or sheds, our storage is purpose-built, monitored and dry.
- Time and stress saving: We handle the heavy work and logistics, freeing you to focus on the rest of your move or project.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to high standards of safety and care:
- Goods in transit insurance for your furniture while being collected or returned
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property during our work on-site
- Trained, uniformed staff using correct lifting techniques and equipment
- Tracked vehicles and monitored facilities for added security
We are committed to handling your belongings as if they were our own, with honest communication throughout.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We use padded furniture blankets, mattress covers and shrink wrap where appropriate to keep items clean and protected. Furniture is stacked safely to avoid warping or pressure damage, and we keep storage areas dry and well-maintained.
Where possible, we use reusable protective materials and recycle cardboard and plastics responsibly. We also plan routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage, reducing fuel use and environmental impact.
Real-World Uses of Our Furniture Storage Service
Moving House
Chains, completion delays and refurbishment works can leave you with nowhere to put your furniture. We can collect on moving day, store securely for as long as needed, then deliver everything to your new home when it is ready.
Office and Business Relocations
During an office move or shop refit, excess furniture can slow down the process. We remove and store desks, seating and fixtures so contractors have clear space, then return items or deliver them to your new site when requested.
Urgent or Same-Week Storage Needs
Evictions, flood or fire damage, sudden relocations or change of tenancy can all require rapid furniture removal and storage. Subject to availability, we can often arrange short-notice collection and storage to keep your items safe while you focus on resolving the situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Roehampton cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much furniture you have, how long you need storage for, and whether you require collection/return. We price storage based on unit size, with smaller spaces for a few items and larger units for full households or offices. Collection and delivery are quoted separately, depending on access and distance. Once we know what you have and your timeframe, we provide a clear written estimate so you know exactly what you will pay, with no hidden fees.
Can you provide same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where availability allows, we can often provide same-day or next-day furniture storage in Roehampton. This is particularly useful in emergency situations such as sudden moves, tenant changes or property damage. The best approach is to call us as soon as you know you need help. We will check vehicle, team and unit availability and give you realistic timeframes. While same-day service cannot be guaranteed every time, we will always do our best to accommodate urgent requests.
Are my items insured while in storage and during transport?
Your furniture is protected by our goods in transit insurance while being collected and delivered, and by our wider insurance arrangements while in storage. This is separate from any home or business policy you may hold. Our public liability cover also protects you if accidental damage occurs to your property during our work. We are happy to explain the level of cover in detail and can advise if you have particularly high-value or specialist items that may need additional protection.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
Our standard service includes the secure storage unit itself, monitored access, and basic handling into and out of the unit at our facility. Most customers also book our collection and return service, which includes loading, transport and unloading by a professional, trained team. Protective blankets and standard wrapping are provided as required. Optional extras include full packing, dismantling and reassembly. We will discuss what you need at the quotation stage so your service is tailored to you.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service typically offers only transport, with limited or no insurance, basic equipment and no dedicated storage facility. We provide secure, purpose-built storage units in Roehampton, fully insured collection and delivery, and trained staff using proper protective materials. Your furniture stays in a dry, monitored facility rather than a garage or lock-up. You also benefit from clear contracts, transparent pricing and the reassurance of dealing with an established local company rather than an informal arrangement.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly during busy periods such as summer and month-ends. This gives us time to carry out any survey, reserve the right size unit and schedule the ideal collection date. However, we understand that plans can change or short-notice needs arise, so we will always try to help at shorter notice. The earlier you contact us, the more choice you will have on dates and unit availability.
