Who Our Long-Term Storage Is For
Our service is suitable for almost anyone who needs reliable longer-term space:
Homeowners
If you are renovating, downsizing, or moving abroad for work, long-term storage gives you time to make decisions without pressure. We can store furniture, boxes, seasonal items, and treasured possessions for as long as you need.
Renters
Between tenancies, relocating to a new city, or moving back in with family? Long-term storage means you do not have to sell or give away items you will want later. We collect from flats and houses of all sizes, including properties with limited access.
Landlords
Landlords often use our storage when changing from furnished to unfurnished lets, or while refurbishing between tenants. We can store full contents, part-furnishings, white goods, and more, keeping everything clearly labelled for future use.
Businesses
From document archives and stock overflow to office furniture during downsizing or relocation, our business storage is secure and fully insured. We can coordinate with your office move, IT teams, and fit-out contractors to reduce disruption.
Students
Students in Golders Green and nearby universities use our long-term storage during gap years, placements, or when returning home overseas. We can collect from halls or shared houses and redeliver when you come back.
What You Can Store with Us
We handle most household and business items, including:
- Household furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables
- Boxes of clothes, books, toys, and personal items
- Appliances – fridges, freezers, washing machines (drained)
- Office furniture – desks, chairs, filing cabinets
- IT equipment and electronics, securely wrapped
- Archive boxes and business records
- Sports equipment, hobby items, and seasonal decorations
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal, and insurance reasons, there are some items we are unable to accept for long-term storage:
- Perishable goods or anything that may rot or attract pests
- Illegal items or anything obtained unlawfully
- Explosives, firearms, ammunition, or weapons
- Flammable or hazardous materials (including paint, fuel, gas bottles)
- Live animals or plants

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you clearly before collection.
Our Step-by-Step Long-Term Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with a rough list of items and your timings. We ask a few straightforward questions about volume, access, and duration, then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation. Where possible we can give a guide price the same day.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger collections, we arrange a short video call or onsite visit. This helps us confirm the exact volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking), and any special packing requirements. It keeps your final price accurate and avoids surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed day, our trained team arrives on time with all necessary materials. We can provide a full packing service, a part-pack option, or just supply materials if you prefer to pack yourself. Furniture is wrapped, protected, and disassembled where needed.
4. Loading & Transport
We load your belongings methodically onto our vehicles, using blankets, straps, and covers to prevent movement in transit. Everything is clearly labelled so we can store and later return your items efficiently. Your goods are moved directly to our secure storage facility in Golders Green.
5. Unloading & Storage Placement
On arrival at our facility, your items are unloaded into your allocated storage space. We stack and store items in a way that protects more delicate pieces and keeps clear records of what has been stored. When you are ready for return, we reverse the process and deliver back to your chosen address.
Transparent Pricing for Long-Term Storage
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your overall cost will depend mainly on:
- The volume of items (how much space you require)
- The length of storage period
- Whether you need packing services and materials
- Collection and redelivery locations and access
We will always set out charges in writing before you commit, with storage billed monthly or as agreed. There are no hidden fees for basic access arrangements or normal handling. For very long-term clients, we can often offer preferential rates.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using a professional storage and removals company in Golders Green offers several advantages over doing it yourself or hiring an informal man-and-van:
- Fully insured service with clear terms and conditions
- Trained teams who know how to protect and stack items safely
- Secure, monitored storage facility rather than an unknown lock-up
- Proper inventory processes and labelling
- Reduced risk of damage, loss, or injury
- Time and stress saved on planning, packing, and heavy lifting
DIY storage often means multiple car or van trips, poor-quality packing, and no protection if something goes wrong. With us, you have one point of contact and a service designed to look after both you and your belongings.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our services include:
- Goods in transit insurance for collections and deliveries
- Public liability cover for work in your home or business premises
- Trained moving teams with experience handling delicate and heavy items
We follow industry best practice in wrapping, lifting, and stacking, and we maintain our vehicles and equipment to a high standard. Full details of insurance cover, including limits and exclusions, are always available on request.
Care, Protection, and Sustainability
Looking after your belongings is about more than just locking a door. We focus on:
- Using quality covers, blankets, and wraps to prevent scratches and scuffs
- Keeping storage areas clean, dry, and well ventilated
- Stacking methods that avoid crushing or warping furniture over time
We are also conscious of sustainability. Wherever practical, we reuse sturdy cartons, recycle packing materials, and plan routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage. If you prefer to reuse your own boxes, we are happy to work with that too.
Real-World Uses for Long-Term Storage
Moving House
When completion dates do not align or you are moving into temporary accommodation, long-term storage can bridge the gap. We can store your full household contents or just the larger pieces while you settle in.
Office Relocations and Refits
Businesses use our long-term storage to hold furniture, files, and equipment during refurbishments or downsizing. We can coordinate carefully timed collections and redeliveries to keep your disruption to a minimum.
Urgent or Last-Minute Situations
Sometimes storage needs arise quickly – a sudden move, an unexpected sale, or an urgent clear-out. Subject to availability, we can often arrange rapid collection from Golders Green and nearby areas, then transition you onto a longer-term storage plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does long-term storage cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you store for, and whether you require collection, redelivery, and packing services. We typically price per unit or per cubic foot, with monthly storage charges that are clearly itemised in advance. Longer storage periods can sometimes attract reduced rates. After a brief discussion or survey, we will provide a written quotation so you know exactly what to expect, with no hidden extras for standard handling or normal access.
Can you offer same-day or urgent long-term storage?
Where schedules and capacity allow, we can often help at short notice in Golders Green and the surrounding areas. If you need urgent storage, contact us as early in the day as possible with a rough list of items and your address. We will confirm availability, likely timings, and costs before you commit. In busier periods we may not be able to guarantee same-day collection, but we will always try to find the earliest suitable slot and a practical interim solution if needed.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance during collection and redelivery, and by our storage insurance while in our facility, subject to policy terms. There are standard limits and exclusions, which we will explain clearly before you sign up. For particularly high-value items or specialist collections, you may wish to arrange additional cover or notify your own insurer. We also minimise risks through careful packing, secure units, and controlled access to the warehouse.
What is included in your long-term storage service?
As standard, we provide collection from your property, careful loading, secure storage in Golders Green, and return delivery when your storage period ends. We can also supply packing materials or offer a full packing service if you prefer not to pack yourself. Our quotation will set out exactly what is included, such as labour, travel, and storage charges. Any optional extras, like specialist packing or additional access requests during storage, are clearly listed so you can choose what you need.
How is a professional storage service different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers basic transport only, with no long-term facility, limited or no insurance, and variable standards of care. By contrast, we provide a fully insured, managed service with trained staff, secure monitored storage, proper packing materials, and documented processes. You know where your belongings are, who is responsible for them, and how to contact us if your plans change. This is especially important for long-term storage, where reliability, record keeping, and security matter over many months or years.
How far in advance should I book long-term storage?
If possible, we recommend contacting us one to three weeks before you need collection, particularly in busy moving periods such as summer and month-ends. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, reserve the right amount of space, and schedule a convenient collection slot. However, we recognise that plans can change quickly, so we also do our best to accommodate shorter notice bookings. The earlier you speak to us, the more options we can offer on dates and pricing.
