Who Our Long-Term Storage Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, renovating or moving abroad, long-term storage keeps your furniture and personal belongings safe and out of the way until you are ready. We often help homeowners who want to declutter before marketing their property, or who need somewhere secure while builders work.
Renters
For renters between tenancies, moving in with family, or travelling for work, our units provide a stable home for your possessions. You avoid repeatedly moving items from flat to flat and can return to them when you have your next long-term place.
Landlords
Landlords often use us to store furniture and appliances between lets, or when converting from furnished to unfurnished. We can collect from your rental, store everything safely, and return items when required, helping you turn properties around smoothly.
Businesses
Businesses in and around Motspur Park use our long-term storage for archive files, seasonal stock, exhibition stands and surplus furniture. We offer professional inventory management and careful handling, ideal for SMEs who need secure extra space without committing to a larger premises.
Students
Students heading home during gap years, placements or extended trips can store belongings with us rather than paying for an empty room. We collect from halls or shared houses, store items long-term, and can redeliver when you are ready to return.
What You Can Store – and What You Cannot
Items typically included
- Household furniture and furnishings
- Boxes of clothes, books and personal items
- Kitchenware and small appliances
- Office desks, chairs and filing cabinets
- Retail stock, promotional materials and samples
- Bikes and sports equipment (clean and dry)
Items we cannot accept
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we do not store:
- Perishable or open food and drink
- Flammable, corrosive or hazardous materials (e.g. fuel, paints, gas bottles)
- Illegal goods or items of unknown origin
- Live animals or plants
- Unboxed liquids that could leak
- Cash or high-value jewellery (we recommend a bank or specialist facility)
If you are unsure whether an item is suitable, we will advise you before collection so everything complies with our professional standards and insurance requirements.
Our Step-by-Step Long-Term Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with a brief description of what you need to store, where from, and for how long. We ask a few questions about access (stairs, lifts, parking) and the volume of items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate covering collection, storage and eventual redelivery.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger loads, we arrange a short video call or an onsite visit in Motspur Park or nearby. This lets us assess volume accurately, plan the right size vehicle, and understand any access issues. You receive an updated, fixed quotation so you know exactly what is included and what to expect.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, our trained team arrives with all necessary materials. We can offer:
- Full packing service – we pack everything into labelled boxes
- Part packing service – we handle fragile or bulky items
- Owner-packed – you pack, and we supply boxes if needed
Furniture is wrapped and protected; fragile items are carefully cushioned. We create an inventory so you know exactly what has gone into storage.
4. Loading & Transport
We load your belongings safely onto our removals vehicle, making sure everything is secured for transit. Our professional drivers transport your goods directly to our Motspur Park storage facility or our main partner warehouse, with goods in transit insurance in place throughout the journey.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
On arrival, items are unloaded carefully and placed into your dedicated unit or container. We stack systematically to maximise space while protecting delicate pieces. The unit is then sealed and secured, with access managed according to our agreed arrangements. When you are ready, we reverse the process and deliver your belongings back to your chosen address.
Transparent Pricing for Long-Term Storage
We aim to keep pricing straightforward and fair. Your total cost is influenced by:
- The volume of items (which determines unit size)
- The length of storage term
- Collection and redelivery distance and access
- Whether you choose a full packing service or pack yourself
- Any additional protection or insurance upgrades
You will receive a written quotation outlining:
- Monthly or quarterly storage charge
- One-off collection and eventual redelivery costs
- Any optional services requested
There are no hidden fees. If your circumstances change and you need more or less space, we will adjust your plan accordingly and explain any price differences in advance.
Why Use Professional Long-Term Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
While a cheap lock-up or informal man-and-van might look tempting, long-term storage requires consistency, security and proper handling.
- Security – monitored facility, controlled access and documented inventories.
- Protection – correct wrapping, stacking and climate-aware processes to prevent damage.
- Insurance – appropriate cover for your goods; many DIY options have little or none.
- Stability – a long-established company unlikely to disappear mid-contract.
- Professional staff – experienced in handling furniture, antiques and business equipment.
Over months or years, these differences make a significant impact on the condition and safety of your belongings.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to recognised industry standards to give you confidence in our service.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while being moved between your property and our facility.
- Public liability cover – protects you and your property while our team is working on-site.
- Fully insured storage options – with agreed value declarations for long-term stays if required.
- Trained teams – all staff receive handling, packing and health & safety training.
We are happy to explain policy limits and exclusions and can guide you on top-up cover if you are storing particularly high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Long-term storage is about more than just space. We focus on protecting both your belongings and the environment where possible.
- Use of quality protective materials and correct stacking to avoid crushing or warping
- Regular facility checks for cleanliness, damp and pests
- Reuse of sturdy cartons and blankets where appropriate to reduce waste
- Recycling schemes for unwanted furniture and packaging on request
- Planning efficient routes to minimise unnecessary mileage
Our goal is to return your belongings in the same condition we received them, while operating in a responsible, sustainable way.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House
Many clients use our long-term storage while their sale completes or during extensive renovations. We remove furniture and non-essentials, store them securely, and redeliver once the new home is ready, helping keep the move phased and manageable.
Office Relocation
When offices relocate or downsize, there is often excess furniture, documents and IT equipment. We can store these long-term while you decide what to retain, redeploy or dispose of, keeping your new workspace clear and functional from day one.
Urgent Situations
Life is not always predictable. We regularly support clients who need space quickly due to relationship changes, emergency repairs or sudden relocations. Subject to availability, we can arrange fast collection and storage in Motspur Park, then work with you calmly on a long-term plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does long-term storage in Motspur Park cost?
Costs depend mainly on the volume of items, length of stay and whether you need us to collect and redeliver. Smaller units for a few boxes and pieces of furniture are naturally cheaper than large, whole-house loads. We price storage as a monthly or quarterly rate, plus one-off collection and redelivery charges if required. Once we understand what you need to store and for how long, we provide a clear written quotation with no hidden extras, so you can compare options and budget confidently.
Can you offer same-day or urgent long-term storage?
In many cases, yes. If we have unit and vehicle availability, we can arrange same-day or next-day collection around Motspur Park. This is particularly helpful in emergency situations, such as unexpected moves or urgent building work. The more notice you can give, the easier it is to keep costs down and guarantee your preferred timeslot, but we will always do our best to accommodate urgent requests and provide a realistic plan for both immediate collection and long-term storage.
Are my belongings insured while in long-term storage?
Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved, and we have public liability cover while working at your property. For the period in storage, we offer options to insure your items based on their declared value, or you may be able to extend your own home or business policy to cover them. We explain the different levels of cover, policy limits and exclusions before you sign, so you can choose the arrangement that best reflects the value and nature of what you are storing.
What exactly is included in your long-term storage service?
At its simplest, we provide a secure, dedicated storage unit and agreed access arrangements. Most clients, however, choose a fully managed service, which includes collection from your property, professional packing or wrapping of furniture, transport to our facility, careful placement into storage and eventual redelivery when you are ready. We can also supply packing materials, create an itemised inventory and offer disposal or recycling of items you decide not to keep. All inclusions are listed clearly in your written quotation.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A man-and-van typically focuses on short, simple moves, often without dedicated storage, formal inventories or comprehensive insurance. Our service combines removals expertise with secure, purpose-managed storage facilities and professional standards. We use trained staff, appropriate vehicles, protective materials and documented processes for long-term care of your belongings. You receive a written contract, clear pricing and proper insurance arrangements, which gives far greater peace of mind when you are entrusting possessions to us for months or years rather than just a few hours.
How far in advance should I book long-term storage?
Ideally, contact us two to four weeks before you need collection, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives us time to assess your requirements, carry out any survey, and reserve the right size unit and vehicle. However, we understand that plans often change at short notice, and we will always try to help with last-minute requests where capacity allows. The earlier you get in touch, the more flexibility we have to tailor dates, times and pricing to suit you.
