Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are moving house, doing a major refurbishment, installing new flooring or a new kitchen, or simply want long-term storage for good-quality furniture you are not ready to part with. We can store a single room of furniture or contents of a large family home.
Renters
If your tenancy dates don’t line up, you are relocating for work, or moving into furnished accommodation, our storage keeps your furniture safe between moves. We can collect directly from your rental property, store for as long as you need, and deliver to your next address when you are ready.
Landlords
We help landlords who need flexible furniture storage between tenancies, during renovations, or when switching between furnished and unfurnished lets. We can store full property contents, individual rooms or surplus items, and redeliver when required.
Businesses
Our service suits offices, retailers and other businesses needing to store desks, chairs, shelving, display units and other furniture. Whether you are relocating, downsizing, adopting hybrid working or holding surplus stock, we offer scalable business furniture storage with professional inventory control.
Students
Students moving in and out of halls or shared houses often need short-term storage for beds, desks and other larger items. We offer cost-effective student furniture storage so you do not have to re-buy furniture each year or drag it back home.

We can safely store most household and office furniture, including:
- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
- Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
- Desks, office chairs, filing cabinets and bookcases
- TV units, coffee tables, lamps and side tables
- Loose items packed into boxes (by you or by us)

- Perishable goods or any food items
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including paint, gas bottles and solvents)

If you are unsure whether something can be stored, we will happily advise during your enquiry or survey.
Our Step-by-Step Furniture Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a brief description of what you need to store, where from, and for how long. We will ask a few questions about access, floors, lift availability and parking. Based on this information we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate and outline the likely storage volume required.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger jobs we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us see precisely what is involved, confirm the volume, check any tricky access, and identify any items needing special protection. The survey helps us give you a firm quote, allocate the right size vehicle and team, and avoid unexpected charges on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Full packing service – our team packs smaller items into boxes, wraps furniture, and dismantles items where required.
- Part packing service – we deal with larger items and fragile pieces, while you pack general contents.
- Self-packed – you pack everything, and we collect and store.
All furniture for storage is wrapped in protective materials and, where appropriate, we dismantle larger items to reduce risk and save space.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained removals team load your furniture carefully using covers, padded blankets, floor protection and tie-downs as needed. Items are inventoried and labelled so we know exactly what is in storage. We then transport your belongings in our purpose-equipped vehicles directly to our secure storage facility.
5. Storage, Unloading & Placement
At the storage facility we unload and place your items into a suitable storage unit or container. Everything is stacked and secured to avoid pressure points and possible damage. When you are ready for redelivery, we retrieve your items and bring them to your new or existing address, placing furniture into the rooms you specify and reassembling items we dismantled.
Transparent Furniture Storage Pricing
We keep pricing straightforward and transparent. Your cost is typically made up of:
- Collection & delivery charges – based on time, distance, and crew size required.
- Storage fees – a weekly or monthly rate based on the volume of furniture stored.
- Optional packing services – only if you choose professional packing or materials from us.
We provide a written quotation clearly showing what is included, any optional extras, and the minimum storage period if applicable. There are no hidden fees for basic access or standard insurance cover within agreed limits.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Man-and-Van?
Using a casual man-and-van or doing it yourself may seem cheaper, but it often increases the risk of damage, injury and unexpected costs. With us you benefit from:
- Trained teams who know how to dismantle, wrap and handle furniture correctly
- Vehicles equipped with the right protection equipment
- Secure, monitored storage rather than open or shared garages
- Clear inventory and labelling so nothing goes missing
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover as standard
For valuable or sentimental furniture, a professional service is usually the most cost-effective option in the long run.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to professional standards expected of a reputable removals and storage company. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance during collection and redelivery
- Public liability cover for work in your home or premises
- Trained, uniformed staff experienced in handling furniture
- Use of appropriate wrapping and protection materials
- Secure, monitored storage facilities
We will explain the level of cover included and, if required, discuss additional cover for particularly high-value items. You receive documentation so you know exactly where you stand.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your furniture as if it were our own. That means careful handling, suitable protective materials and thoughtful stacking in storage to avoid damage over time. Where possible we use reusable furniture blankets, re-use strong cartons and choose recyclable materials. By storing and re-using good quality furniture, many of our customers avoid the need to buy new, reducing waste and environmental impact.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House
If completion dates do not match or your new home is not ready, we can move your furniture into storage on moving day and keep it there until you can accept delivery. This avoids rushed decisions about what to keep or throw away and gives you breathing space during a stressful period.
Office Refurbishment or Relocation
When refitting an office or relocating in stages, temporary storage of desks, meeting tables and filing cabinets keeps the workspace clear and reduces downtime. We can coordinate with your fit-out contractors and IT teams to schedule collections and redeliveries around project milestones.
Urgent or Same-Week Storage
Sometimes storage is needed at short notice – for example, after a last-minute change of plan, a burst pipe, or an urgent move-out date. Subject to availability, we can arrange rapid collection and immediate storage, then work with you to plan the longer-term arrangements once the immediate pressure has eased.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in St Johns Wood cost?
The cost depends on three main factors: how much furniture you are storing, how long for, and how complex the collection and redelivery are. We charge a collection fee based on the size of the crew, the time required and distance, plus a weekly or monthly storage rate based on volume. Packing and materials are optional extras. Once we have details of your items and access, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you will pay and what is included.
Can you provide same-day or urgent furniture storage?
In many cases we can help with same-day or short-notice storage, especially within St Johns Wood and surrounding areas. Availability depends on our schedule and space in the storage facility, but we always try to prioritise urgent situations such as last-minute tenancy changes or emergency repairs. The sooner you contact us, the better the chance we can allocate a team and vehicle. We will give you an honest answer about what is possible and any additional costs for urgent work.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from the storage facility, and by our storage cover while it is in our care, up to agreed limits. We also hold public liability cover for work in your home or business. During the quotation stage we will explain the standard cover included and ask you to declare any particularly high-value items. If needed, we can discuss additional cover or advise you on using your own insurance.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
As standard, our service includes collection of your furniture, basic protective wrapping, loading, transport to our secure facility, unloading into storage, and redelivery to one address when you are ready. We also provide an inventory for stored items and standard insurance cover within stated limits. Optional extras include full or part packing, extra protection for delicate or high-value pieces, and additional deliveries if you need items split between addresses. Everything that is included will be clearly detailed on your written quotation.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with no formal training, limited insurance, and no dedicated storage facilities. Our service is a complete, professional solution: trained staff, proper equipment, secure monitored storage, documented inventory, and clear insurance cover. We also carry out surveys for larger jobs, plan access carefully, and manage redelivery when you are ready. The aim is to minimise the risk of damage, loss or inconvenience, which is especially important for valuable or irreplaceable furniture.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
For planned moves or refurbishments, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives us time to arrange a survey if needed, secure the right storage space and schedule the ideal collection date. That said, we regularly accommodate short-notice bookings, so it is always worth getting in touch even if your timeline is tight. Once booked, we confirm all details in writing so you know exactly what to expect.
