When you are ready, we deliver everything back to your new address and position it where you want it.

Local Expertise in Golders Green
Based in Golders Green, we know the local streets, parking rules and building layouts extremely well. That local knowledge matters when moving large furniture in and out of flats, mansion blocks and terraced homes with tight access and limited loading bays.
We regularly work across Golders Green, Hampstead, Finchley, Hendon and wider North West London, coordinating parking suspensions where needed and planning the best access routes. This helps keep the move into storage and the return delivery smooth, efficient and on time.
Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are selling, renovating or waiting for a new build to complete. We can store part or all of your furniture, keeping it safe while builders are in or chains are delayed.
Renters
If your tenancy dates do not line up, or you are relocating temporarily, our flexible storage options give you a safe place for your furniture between rentals without having to sell or give items away.
Landlords
We help landlords store furniture when changing from furnished to unfurnished lets, carrying out major refurbishments or staging properties for sale or re-let.
Businesses
From small offices to larger organisations, we store surplus furniture, seasonal items and archived equipment. Our professional teams can dismantle and reassemble items to minimise downtime.
Students
Students often need storage during holidays, gap years or placements. We can collect furniture and belongings from halls or shared houses and store them safely until you return.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
It starts with a quick call or online enquiry. You tell us what furniture you need to store, your addresses, access details and timescales. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining the collection costs, storage charges and redelivery fees.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger consignments, we arrange a virtual video survey or an onsite visit. This allows us to assess volumes accurately, check access, note any specialist items and plan parking. It also gives you a chance to ask questions and confirm what will be going into storage.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the day, our trained removals team arrives with all necessary materials. We wrap furniture in protective covers, use export blankets and, where appropriate, dismantle items such as beds and wardrobes. Mattresses and sofas are covered to keep them clean and dry while in store.
4. Loading & Transport
We load your furniture methodically, securing everything inside our vehicles to prevent movement during transit. Our professional crews handle heavy and awkward items safely, using the right equipment to avoid damage to your property and belongings. Your goods are then transported directly to our storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement into Storage
At the storage facility, we unload and position your furniture within your allocated unit or container. Items are stacked and arranged to maximise space while keeping them accessible. Each consignment is logged so we can identify your goods easily when it is time for redelivery.
Transparent Pricing for Furniture Storage
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Costs typically include:
- A collection fee based on the volume of furniture, access and distance
- Weekly or monthly storage charges depending on unit size
- A redelivery fee when you are ready to have your furniture returned
Additional services, such as full packing, dismantling/reassembly or out-of-hours work, are always discussed in advance. We explain the options so you can choose what best suits your budget and timescale. For longer-term storage, we may be able to offer reduced rates.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Moving and storing furniture might seem straightforward, but doing it yourself or using an unregulated man-and-van can quickly lead to damage, injury or unexpected costs. Our professional service offers:
- Trained teams who know how to handle, protect and stack furniture safely
- Purpose-built vehicles with ties and padding to minimise movement
- Proper inventory and record-keeping so nothing is misplaced
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for peace of mind
- Secure, monitored storage rather than ad hoc garages or lockups
This reduces the risk of scratched floors, damaged stairwells, broken furniture or back injuries that often come with DIY moves.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. We take that responsibility seriously.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your furniture while it is being moved from your property to storage and back again.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury during our work.
- Trained moving teams – our crews are experienced, carefully vetted and trained in lifting techniques, furniture protection and safe driving.
We follow industry best practice for wrapping, stacking and securing loads, and we are happy to explain how your belongings will be protected at every stage.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped in reusable covers and protective blankets, and we use sturdy, good-quality materials designed for repeated use. Where single-use materials are necessary, we aim to recycle wherever possible.
Our vehicles are planned efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage. Where suitable, we may consolidate runs while keeping each customer’s goods clearly separated and documented. This combination of care and efficiency helps protect both your furniture and the environment.
Real-World Uses for Furniture Storage
Moving House
Chains often break or completion dates change at short notice. Our storage service provides a safety net, allowing you to move out on time even if your new home is not ready. We store everything safely and deliver as soon as you get the keys.
Office Relocations
Businesses use our storage when relocating in stages, refurbishing floors or waiting for new lease dates. We can store desks, chairs, filing cabinets and equipment, then return them as each phase of your project completes.
Renovations and Refurbishments
Keeping furniture in a property while builders are working often leads to dust and accidental damage. Storing items offsite keeps them clean and out of the way so contractors can work more efficiently.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes you must vacate a property quickly – for example, after a sudden sale, end of tenancy or change in circumstances. We can often arrange rapid collection and short-term storage, giving you breathing space to plan your next step properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Golders Green cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much furniture you have, how long you need to store it and the access at your property. We charge a one-off collection fee, an ongoing weekly or monthly storage rate based on unit size and a redelivery fee when you want everything back. To give you an accurate figure, we will ask for a rough list of items and, for larger jobs, arrange a short survey. All pricing is explained clearly in writing before you decide.
Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where our schedule and storage capacity allow, we can often arrange same-day or very short-notice collections in Golders Green and nearby areas. This is particularly useful if a tenancy ends unexpectedly or a completion date changes. The more notice you can give, the better the chance of securing your ideal time slot, but we will always do our best to help in an emergency. Call us to discuss your situation and we will confirm what is realistically possible.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved and by our storage cover while it is in our facility, subject to standard terms and conditions. We also hold public liability insurance for the work we carry out at your property. During the quotation stage, we will explain the levels of cover and any exclusions, and we can discuss additional cover if you have particularly high-value items that need specifying.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
As standard, we provide collection from your property, protective wrapping of furniture, safe loading, transport to our facility, placement into storage and secure holding for as long as you need. When you are ready, we arrange redelivery to your new address and can position items in the rooms you choose. Optional extras include packing of smaller items, dismantling and reassembly of furniture and out-of-hours collections. All inclusions and any optional services are itemised clearly in your quote.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with limited or no insurance, minimal protective materials and no dedicated storage facility. Our service is a complete solution: trained crews, proper wrapping, secure loading, fully insured transport and monitored storage. We maintain clear inventories and professional standards throughout. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes and is especially important when you are storing the full contents of a home or office.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
During busy periods, such as summer and month-end, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance to secure your preferred date. However, we understand that moves and renovations do not always go to plan, so we keep some flexibility for shorter-notice work. As soon as you know you may need storage, contact us for a provisional quote. We can then hold or adjust dates as your situation becomes clearer, subject to availability in our diary and storage facility.
