We provide flexible storage services in London for short- and long-term needs. Storage is arranged per your written quote. Tell us how long you need storage and we will confirm the arrangement before you book.
Storage pricing varies by location, unit size, access, and contract length. Contact the selected facility for current rates and offers.
Most household and business items can be stored: furniture, boxes, equipment, seasonal items, and documents. We cannot store hazardous materials, perishables, or illegal items. Climate-controlled units are ideal for sensitive items.
Ask for the current security and access arrangements for the facility that would hold your items.
Many house removals include storage: your items can be stored if move-in dates don't align, you need renovation time, or you're between properties. Storage-inclusive packages save hassle and reduce moving stress.

Within London, our house-to-house pricing is an hourly card: £70 per hour for driver help, £85 per hour for two men, £100 per hour for three men, with a two-hour minimum, plus £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs, and packing materials per item if you book packing. The written quote estimates the hours from your property size, distance, access and inventory.
Our written quotes cover the crew, the van, loading, unloading and carrying for the agreed scope, with dismantling and reassembly where they are booked. Packing and materials are included only when they are booked and listed in the quote. Everything is itemised, so you can see exactly what is and is not included before you book.
Prices vary based on the move scope, vehicle and crew requirements, access, distance, and additional services. Request written quotes to compare what is included.
The main ones are published, not hidden: stairs are charged at £5 per floor at either address where the carry is by stairs (not where a lift serves the floor); packing materials if you book packing (boxes £5, wrap £15, tape £10 per roll); and time beyond the estimate, at the same hourly rate you booked at. Parking suspensions are arranged with the council. Your written quote itemises what applies to your move.
The extra time is charged at the same hourly rate shown when you booked (£70, £85 or £100 per hour depending on the crew), never at a higher rate part-way through the day. The written quote states the estimate and the basis it was worked out on, so you can see how the time was calculated.
Ask about current availability and whether your move qualifies for any current offer. Confirm any agreed discount in the written quote before booking.
