Local Expertise in Roehampton
Being based in and around Roehampton means we know the local student accommodation very well – from University of Roehampton halls to shared houses and private rentals across SW15 and neighbouring areas. We understand:
- End‑of‑term rushes and tight move‑out deadlines
- Access restrictions in halls and flats
- Parking rules and time limits on campus and local roads
This local knowledge helps us plan efficient collections, keep costs sensible and minimise disruption for you and your housemates.
Who Our Student Storage Service Is For
Although we focus on students, our storage and removals support a wide range of clients in Roehampton:
Homeowners
Ideal if you are renovating, de‑cluttering for a sale, or need space between moving dates. We can store furniture, boxes and household items securely for as long as required.
Renters
Perfect if your new tenancy start date does not line up with your current one. We can collect your belongings, store them safely, then deliver to your new flat when it is ready.
Landlords
We work with landlords needing short‑term storage for furniture when changing tenants, refurbishing, or converting properties. We can also help clear and store contents from student lets between academic years.
Businesses
Local businesses and university departments use us for storing documents, seasonal stock, event materials and surplus furniture. Our commercial storage and office removals services can be tailored to your schedule.
Students
Our core service is for Roehampton students heading home for the holidays, going on placement, or studying abroad. Whether you have a few suitcases or a full flat’s worth of belongings, we can collect, store and redeliver at a time that suits you.

How Our Student Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or via our website to tell us what you need stored and when. We will ask a few questions about the quantity of items, access to your property and dates required. Based on this, we provide a clear, no‑obligation quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For typical student storage, a quick virtual survey – a video call or photos – is usually enough. For larger moves or full households, we can arrange an onsite survey. This allows us to confirm volumes, check access (lifts, stairs, parking) and ensure we send the right size vehicle and team.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings into boxes, suitcases or crates, or choose our professional packing service. If we pack for you, our trained team bring all materials – cartons, tape, bubble wrap and paper – and make sure fragile items are protected. Everything is labelled clearly for straightforward return.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our crew arrive at the agreed time, protect your building where required and carefully carry everything to the vehicle. Items are securely stacked and strapped to minimise movement. Your goods are then transported straight to our storage facility under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Secure Storage
At our storage site, your belongings are unloaded and placed into a suitable, clearly marked storage area. We keep an inventory so that everything is accounted for. The facility is locked, monitored and restricted to authorised staff only.
6. Redelivery & Placement
When you are ready to move back, simply book a redelivery date. We bring your belongings to your new address – whether that is new halls, a flat in Roehampton or elsewhere in London – and place items into the rooms you specify. If we packed your items, we can also provide an unpacking service on request.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We keep our pricing straightforward and honest. Your quote will typically include:
- Collection from your Roehampton address
- Weekly or monthly storage charge based on volume
- Redelivery to your chosen address
- Optional extras such as packing and materials
Costs are influenced by the number of items, floor level, access, and the distance for collection and return. We do not hide fees – all charges are explained before you book so you know exactly what you will pay.
Why Use Professional Storage Rather Than DIY or Casual Man‑and‑Van?
Moving and storing your belongings yourself, or using an unregulated man‑and‑van, can seem cheaper at first glance, but it carries risks:
- Limited or no insurance if your items are lost or damaged
- Poor packing and handling, leading to breakages
- Unclear pricing and last‑minute cost increases
- No guarantee of reliability during busy end‑of‑term periods
With Storage Roehampton you get professional standards, trained staff and proper insurance cover, as well as organised planning and clear communication. That peace of mind is particularly important when you are away from Roehampton for months at a time.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance while items are being moved
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling student and household items
- Proper vehicles purpose‑built for removals and storage work
We follow industry best practice for lifting, wrapping and stacking, and we regularly maintain our vehicles and equipment to keep your possessions safe.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We know your belongings often have more sentimental than financial value. Our crews take care to protect both your items and the buildings we work in. We use blankets, floor protection and, where required, corner guards to avoid marks and damage.
We also consider sustainability. We reuse crates and blankets, source recyclable packing materials where possible and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary journeys. When customers no longer want certain items, we aim to donate or recycle them rather than send them to landfill, where practical.
Real‑World Use Cases
Moving House
Students and non‑students alike often use our storage when moving between homes. If your new place is not ready, we can store everything securely and deliver on the completion date, saving you from juggling multiple moves or filling friends’ garages.
Office and Student Society Moves
We help university departments, societies and local businesses move equipment, documents and furniture. Storage is available for events, conferences or refurbishments, with flexible access and scheduled deliveries to campus or other premises.
Urgent or Last‑Minute Moves
Tenancy ended sooner than expected? Flight brought forward? During busy student changeover periods we keep capacity aside for urgent bookings where we can. If you are in a tight spot, contact us – we will do our best to arrange a timely collection and storage solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does student storage in Roehampton cost?
Pricing depends mainly on how much you are storing, how long for, and where we are collecting from and delivering to. A typical student might pay for collection, a weekly or monthly storage fee based on a few boxes and suitcases, and a redelivery charge at the end. We will ask for a brief description or photos of your items and provide a clear written quote before you book, so you know the full cost in advance with no hidden extras.
Can you offer same‑day or urgent student storage?
Yes, where capacity allows we can usually help with same‑day or short‑notice collections in Roehampton, especially around the university. Availability is tighter at the end of each term, so if you know your dates it is best to book early. However, if you are facing an unexpected situation – such as being asked to vacate your room quickly – call us and we will do everything we reasonably can to arrange an urgent collection and storage slot.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and during transport?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved between your property and our storage facility, and we hold public liability cover for work at your address. Standard cover is suitable for most student belongings. If you have unusually high‑value items, let us know so we can advise on additional cover or alternative arrangements. We also minimise risk through careful packing and handling, secure vehicles and a monitored storage facility.
What exactly is included in your student storage service?
Our standard service includes collection from your Roehampton address, transport to our secure storage, safe storage for the agreed period and redelivery to your new address at the end. We can add services such as packing, unpacking and supplying boxes and materials. We handle all lifting and loading, protect your items appropriately, and keep an inventory so nothing goes missing. We will set out precisely what is included – and any optional extras – in your written quote before you commit.
How is this different from using a casual man‑and‑van?
A casual man‑and‑van may move your items from A to B, but they often lack proper insurance, training and secure storage. With us, you are using a professional removals and storage company with trained teams, dedicated vehicles, formal insurance and a monitored facility. We provide written quotes, confirm bookings, and keep clear records of your items. That means far less risk of damage, loss or last‑minute cancellations, which is especially important if you are heading home or abroad and cannot easily return to sort problems.
How far in advance should I book student storage?
For peak student periods – particularly end of term and summer – we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. Outside those times, a week’s notice is usually sufficient. That said, we do keep some flexibility in our schedule for late bookings and urgent situations. The earlier you contact us with your dates and requirements, the more options we can offer and the easier it is to plan a smooth, stress‑free collection.
