Local Expertise in Roehampton and South-West London
Based in Roehampton, we know the local area, housing stock and access issues extremely well. From mansion flats and modern apartments to period terraces and large family homes, we regularly collect and deliver furniture throughout Roehampton, Putney, Barnes, Richmond and wider south-west London.
Our teams are familiar with:
- Narrow staircases and communal hallways
- Permit-controlled parking and loading restrictions
- Estate rules, concierge procedures and lift usage
This local knowledge helps us plan access properly, protect common areas and keep disturbance to a minimum.
Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, renovating or extending, we can store entire room sets, heirloom pieces and garden furniture while work takes place. This keeps your furniture safe from dust, damage and builders’ traffic.
Renters
Between tenancies or moving back home for a period? We can hold your furniture securely so you are not forced to sell items you will need again in the near future.
Landlords
We support landlords who need temporary storage when changing from furnished to unfurnished, undertaking repairs or preparing a property for new tenants.
Businesses
Offices, shops and studios in Roehampton use our business furniture storage for surplus desks, chairs, stock and equipment, particularly during relocations and refurbishments.
Students
Students needing term-time or holiday storage can store beds, desks, chairs and personal furniture instead of re-buying every year. We can collect from halls or shared houses.
What We Can Store
Our facilities are suitable for most typical household and office furniture items, including:
- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
- Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
- Beds, mattresses and wardrobes
- Chests of drawers, bookcases and shelving
- Desks, office chairs and filing cabinets
- TV stands, coffee tables and occasional furniture
- Outdoor furniture and garden sets (clean and dry)
We also store properly packed boxes of household items alongside your furniture if required, so everything stays together.
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our furniture storage service. These include:
- Perishable goods and food
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (paint, fuel, gas bottles, chemicals)
- Illegal goods or items of unknown origin
- Live animals or plants
- Cash, high-value jewellery or important documents that should be kept with you
- Strongly scented or damp items that may affect other goods
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you clearly before collection.
Our Step-by-Step Furniture Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or through our online form with brief details of what you need to store and for how long. We ask a few questions about the volume, access, dates and any special requirements, then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining storage costs and collection options.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger loads or whole properties, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, list your furniture, check for dismantling needs and confirm the right storage volume. It prevents surprises on the day and ensures we allocate the correct vehicle, team and materials.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, our trained, professional team arrives with all necessary protection. We can carefully dismantle beds and larger items where needed, wrap furniture in padded covers, and use export blankets and specialist materials for delicate pieces. We label items clearly so we can locate and return them easily later.
4. Loading & Transport
Your furniture is loaded onto our vehicles using industry-standard techniques to minimise movement and pressure points. All goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being transported from your property in Roehampton to our secure storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the warehouse, your items are checked against the inventory and placed into your allocated storage unit or container. We stack furniture carefully to avoid crushing, keeping upholstered items off the floor and ensuring fragile pieces are protected. When you are ready for redelivery, we simply reverse the process and return everything to your new address.
Transparent Pricing for Furniture Storage
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your overall cost will typically include:
- Collection and transport from your property
- Monthly storage charge based on the volume of furniture stored
- Optional packing and dismantling services
- Redelivery back to your chosen address
Storage is usually billed monthly, with discounts sometimes available for longer-term commitments. We explain all charges in writing before you book so you know exactly what to expect.
Why Choose Professional Furniture Storage Over DIY
Using a professional removals and storage company offers several advantages over self-storage with a borrowed van or casual man-and-van:
- Expert handling – correct lifting, loading and wrapping to avoid breaks and scuffs
- Fully insured – cover in transit and in store, subject to terms and declared values
- Trained teams – experienced staff used to moving awkward, heavy and delicate items
- Integrated service – one company responsible from collection through to redelivery
- Time and stress saving – no multiple trips or struggling with hire vans and access rules
While DIY options can seem cheaper initially, the risk of damage, injury or inadequate protection often costs more in the long run.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a responsible removals and storage provider, we operate to recognised professional standards and maintain appropriate insurance cover, including:
- Goods in transit insurance for your furniture while it is being moved
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Secure storage insurance for items held in our warehouse, subject to policy limits
Our moving teams are trained in safe handling, packing techniques and property protection. We can provide copies of our insurance details and terms on request, and we encourage customers to review their own contents insurance alongside ours.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take the long-term condition of your furniture seriously. That means:
- Using quality protective covers, blankets and shrink-wrap where appropriate
- Ensuring items are clean and dry before storage to prevent mould or odours
- Keeping furniture off bare floors and away from damp
- Handling high-value or antique items with additional padding and support
We also aim to work sustainably by reusing durable materials where possible, recycling waste responsibly and optimising our vehicle routes to reduce unnecessary mileage.
Real-World Uses for Our Furniture Storage
Moving House
If your completion dates do not line up, or you are downsizing and still deciding what to keep, our furniture storage bridges the gap. We can take your entire household into store and then deliver it in stages to your new home.
Office Relocations
Businesses in Roehampton use our storage when relocating in phases, refurbishing office space or moving to flexible working arrangements. We can store desks, chairs, filing and spare equipment until it is needed.
Renovations and Refits
During building work, plastering, decorating or new flooring, having your furniture out of the way protects it and gives tradespeople the space they need. We collect before the work starts and return once dust has settled.
Urgent and Last-Minute Moves
When plans change suddenly – a sale completes faster than expected, a tenancy ends, or you need to leave quickly – our urgent storage options in Roehampton can provide a safe place for your furniture at short notice, subject to availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Roehampton cost?
The cost depends mainly on how much space your furniture requires and how long you need to store it. We usually price by the cubic foot or by container, with a monthly rate that becomes more economical the more you store and the longer you stay. Collection and redelivery are quoted separately based on access and distance. Once we know what you have and your dates, we give you a clear written quote so you can see all charges upfront.
Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day collection and storage in the Roehampton area. This is particularly useful for unexpected tenancy changes or quick sales. Availability does vary with the season and time of week, so we always recommend calling us as soon as you are aware of an urgent need. We will confirm what we can offer, any premium charges for short notice, and how quickly we can have a trained team with you.
Is my furniture insured while in storage?
Yes, your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved and by our storage insurance while in our facility, subject to our policy terms and any declared values. We explain the cover limits and conditions clearly before you book, and you are welcome to supplement this with your own insurance if you wish. We also minimise the chance of any claim by using trained staff, proper packing materials and secure, well-maintained storage units.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
As standard, we provide professional collection from your property, careful loading, transport to our storage facility, secure storage in a designated unit or container, and redelivery when you are ready. We can also include dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture, packing of smaller items, and provision of protective covers if required. During quoting, we set out exactly what is included, so you can decide whether you want a simple store-only service or a more comprehensive door-to-door solution.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without specialist training, formal insurance or secure long-term storage. By contrast, we provide a complete, managed service with trained teams, fully insured vehicles and purpose-built storage facilities. We take responsibility for your furniture from door to store and back again, maintain inventories, and use proper materials to protect items in transit and in store. For valuable or sentimental furniture, this level of care and accountability is important.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
For the best choice of dates, we suggest booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. That said, we understand that storage needs often arise suddenly, and we will always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests. Once you have approximate dates and a sense of what you need to store, contact us and we will reserve space, schedule a survey if required, and guide you through the next steps.
