Local Expertise in Roehampton
We know Roehampton and the surrounding areas well – from estates and mansion blocks to terraced streets and modern developments. This local knowledge means we can plan access, parking and loading efficiently, reducing disruption and saving you time.
Our team is professional, locally based and used to working in narrow streets, controlled parking zones and busy residential areas. We liaise with you in advance about any access issues, permits or timing restrictions to make sure collection and delivery run smoothly.
Who Our Household Storage Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are selling, downsizing or renovating. We can store furniture, white goods, seasonal items and personal possessions while you get your home in order or wait for your new property to complete.
Renters
If you are between tenancies, relocating for work, or moving into furnished accommodation, our storage lets you keep your belongings safe without paying for a larger property just to hold your furniture.
Landlords
Store furniture and appliances between lets, during refurbishments or when changing your property from furnished to unfurnished (or vice versa). We can collect directly from the property and redeliver when needed.
Businesses
Our storage is suitable for office furniture, archive files, event equipment, exhibition stands and stock. We offer flexible access and can coordinate storage as part of a wider office move or reconfiguration.
Students
Perfect between terms, study abroad years or when moving between halls and private accommodation. We collect from your address, store your items safely, and deliver them to your next place when you return.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We ask a few straightforward questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quotation. Prices are based on the volume of goods, access, and any packing services required.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger loads, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to estimate space accurately, plan vehicle size, assess access and check any special requirements (such as fragile or high-value items). Surveys are carried out by an experienced member of our team.
3. Packing & Preparation
On collection day, we can either take goods you have packed yourself or provide a full professional packing service. Our trained staff use quality materials: double-walled boxes, export wrap, mattress and sofa covers, and furniture blankets. Everything is labelled and inventoried before it goes into storage.
4. Loading & Transport
Your items are loaded carefully into our vehicles using standard moving practices to protect furniture, surfaces and communal areas. We use protective covers, floor protection and trolleys where appropriate. Goods are then transported to our secure storage facility under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the storage facility, items are unloaded, checked against the inventory and placed into your allocated storage unit or container. Everything is stacked safely to prevent damage and to make retrieval straightforward. When you are ready, we simply reverse the process and deliver back to your chosen address.
Pricing and How We Charge
We believe in transparent pricing. There are three main elements to your storage cost:
- Collection and delivery – based on time, distance, access and labour required
- Storage space – priced per unit of volume or per container, per week or month
- Packing materials and services – only if you choose our packing option
There are no hidden extras. Any additional costs, such as special handling for unusually heavy or delicate items, are discussed and agreed in advance. We can provide estimates for both short and long-term storage, with discounts for longer commitments where appropriate.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
While hiring a van yourself or using a casual man-and-van might look cheaper, it often isn’t once you factor in time, risk of damage and lack of proper cover. With Storage Roehampton you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to handle furniture, appliances and fragile items safely
- Correct equipment – trolleys, blankets, covers and straps to protect your goods and property
- Organised inventories so you know exactly what is in storage
- Secure facilities with controlled access, rather than ad hoc garages or sheds
- Fully insured vehicles and storage, giving you reassurance if the unexpected happens
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and we take our responsibility seriously. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance while your items are being moved
- Public liability cover for work carried out in and around your property
- Trained, experienced teams following industry-standard handling and lifting practices
- Clear terms and conditions outlining cover and responsibilities
We treat every customer’s items as if they were our own, with a focus on minimising risk and maintaining high professional standards throughout.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to protect both your belongings and the environment. We use high-quality, reusable protective materials such as furniture blankets and plastic covers, and encourage the use of reusable crates where practical. Cardboard and packing materials are recycled wherever possible.
In storage, items are kept in dry, secure conditions away from damp and pests. Furniture is wrapped and mattresses are covered to prevent dust and marking. Our crews are trained not to rush; careful handling reduces damage and the need for replacement, which is better for your pocket and the planet.
Real-World Household Storage Use Cases
Moving House
If completion dates don’t align or you are moving into rented accommodation temporarily, we can hold your belongings safely until your new home is ready. This avoids the pressure of having everything completed in one day.
Office Relocation or Refit
Businesses often need short-term storage during office moves, refurbishments or when introducing new furniture gradually. We can store surplus items, archives and equipment and return them in stages as needed.
Urgent or Last-Minute Storage
Sometimes circumstances change quickly – a sale completes sooner than expected, a tenancy ends abruptly or emergency repairs are needed. Subject to availability, we can offer same-day or urgent storage collection, helping you deal with unexpected situations calmly and efficiently.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does household storage in Roehampton cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much you need to store, how long for, and whether you need collection, delivery and packing services. We usually price storage by the unit or container per week or month, with discounts available for longer-term bookings. Collection and redelivery are quoted separately based on time, distance and access. Once we have an idea of your inventory, we provide a clear written quotation with all charges itemised so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
In many cases, yes. If you need storage at short notice due to a sudden move, tenancy change or emergency works, we will do our best to arrange same-day or next-day collection, subject to vehicle and unit availability. The more information you can provide when you call, the faster we can confirm a plan. Urgent jobs may carry a small premium, but we always explain costs upfront. It’s best to phone us directly for urgent situations so we can respond quickly.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your possessions are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your property and our storage facility, and by our storage cover while they are in our care. We also hold public liability insurance for work at your premises. There are standard limits and exclusions, which we explain before you book, and we can often increase cover for particularly high-value consignments on request. We also recommend you check your own home or business policy for any additional protection.
What’s included in your household storage service?
As standard, we provide collection from your address, careful loading, transport to our secure facility, unloading, and placement into your allocated storage space. We create an inventory so you know what is stored, and we keep your goods in clean, dry, secure conditions for as long as you need. When you are ready, we arrange redelivery to your chosen address. Optional extras include professional packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and supply of packing materials such as boxes, tape and protective covers.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with limited insurance, no formal inventory and no dedicated storage facilities. Our service provides a complete solution: trained movers, proper equipment, secure storage, documented inventories and fully insured handling. We also plan access, parking and scheduling in detail, which reduces the risk of damage, delays and extra costs. In practice, this often works out better value, especially when you consider peace of mind and the protection of your belongings.
How far in advance should I book household storage?
Where possible, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer. This gives us time to arrange surveys, parking and any packing materials you may need. However, we understand that moves and building works don’t always go to plan, so we do keep some flexibility for last-minute bookings. If your dates are uncertain, we can pencil you in and confirm nearer the time, adjusting the schedule as your situation becomes clearer.
