Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are decluttering before a sale, renovating, or between homes. We can store furniture, white goods, boxes, seasonal items, and more, then deliver everything to your new property when you are ready.
Renters
If your tenancy dates don’t line up or you are moving into a smaller place, our storage offers a safe home for your belongings without committing to long leases. We can collect from flats with limited access and awkward stairwells.
Landlords
We support landlords needing storage for furniture during refurbishments, void periods, or when switching between furnished and unfurnished lets. We can remove, store, and re-deliver items as your plans change.
Businesses
From excess stock to office furniture and archive boxes, our business storage is flexible and scalable. We handle out-of-hours collections where needed to minimise disruption to your operations.
Students
Perfect for term-time moves, gap years, or summers away. We collect boxes, desks, small furniture, and personal belongings from halls or shared houses and return them to your new address when you come back.
What We Can Store
Our storage solutions cover most household and office contents, including:
- Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- Appliances – fridges, freezers, washing machines, microwaves
- Boxes of clothing, books, documents, and personal items
- IT equipment and office furniture
- Sports equipment, bikes, and hobby items
- Decorations, seasonal items, and spare furnishings
Items We Cannot Store
For safety and legal reasons, some items are excluded from our storage service:
- Perishable or open food and drink
- Flammable, explosive, or hazardous materials (including gas bottles, fuels, paints, and chemicals)
- Illegal items or substances
- Live plants or animals
- Cash, bonds, or high-value jewellery
- Unregistered firearms or weapons
If you are unsure whether something can be stored, we will advise you clearly before collection.
How Our Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Movers Kingston upon Thames with details of what you need to store, your location, and your timescales. We will provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage, and return, tailored to your specific requirements.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger storage moves, we may carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, and the volume of items accurately, ensuring we send the right vehicle, the right number of movers, and the correct packing materials.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, our trained team arrives with protective covers, blankets, and materials. We can offer a packing service if you want us to wrap and box everything, or we can simply protect furniture and large items that you have packed yourself.
4. Loading & Transport
We carefully load your belongings, securing them safely in our vehicles. Items are transported directly to the storage facility, where they are unloaded and placed in your allocated unit. Every item is handled to minimise risk of damage.
5. Unloading & Placement (Return Delivery)
When you are ready, we schedule a return delivery. Our movers collect your items from storage and bring them to your new address, unloading and placing them in the rooms you choose. We can also assist with basic reassembly of furniture where agreed in advance.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Your overall cost will usually include:
- Collection and delivery charges (based on distance, access, and time)
- Storage unit fee (size of unit and length of stay)
- Optional packing service and materials
We explain all charges in plain language so you know exactly what you are paying for. Storage can be arranged on a short-term basis (a few weeks) or longer-term contracts, with discounts sometimes available for extended stays.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY
Using a professional removals and storage company like Movers Kingston upon Thames offers several advantages over arranging it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:
- Fully insured service with clear accountability
- Trained teams who know how to handle and protect your belongings
- Proper inventory and labelling, so nothing is lost or misplaced
- Secure, well-managed facilities rather than ad-hoc garages or lockups
- Time and effort saved – no hiring vans, lifting heavy items, or dealing with complicated access
For valuable household contents or business equipment, professional storage gives peace of mind that everything is being looked after correctly.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. Our services are supported by:
- Goods in transit insurance while your belongings are being moved
- Public liability cover for work carried out in your home or premises
- Trained, uniformed teams following proven handling and loading procedures
While there are limits and conditions to every policy, we will explain our cover clearly, and you are always welcome to ask about valuations or additional cover for particularly high-value items.
Care, Protection, and Sustainability
We aim to handle your belongings as if they were our own. That means:
- Using padded covers for sofas, mattresses, and other soft furnishings
- Wrapping fragile items and protecting corners and surfaces
- Securing items properly during transport to prevent movement
We also take a practical approach to sustainability. Wherever possible we:
- Reuse sturdy boxes and protective materials
- Recycle worn-out packaging responsibly
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary fuel use
Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House with a Gap Between Dates
If your sale and purchase do not complete on the same day, we can collect your entire home contents, store them safely, and deliver them once your new keys are available. This avoids the pressure of forced move dates and rushed decisions.
Office Refurbishment or Relocation
For businesses refurbishing or relocating, we can store desks, chairs, IT equipment, and archives. This keeps your workspace clear while work is carried out and ensures your assets are protected and accounted for.
Urgent or Short-Notice Storage
Sometimes things change quickly – a sudden move, urgent repairs, or a tenancy ending earlier than planned. Subject to availability, we can often arrange short-notice storage collections in Kingston upon Thames, helping you bridge the gap without panic.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage with Movers Kingston upon Thames cost?
Storage costs depend on three main factors: how much you need to store, how long for, and how complex the collection and delivery will be. We price per unit size and duration, with separate charges for collection, return delivery, and any packing you require. Once we understand your inventory and timescales, we provide a clear written quote so you can see exactly what is included. There are no hidden extras, and we will happily adjust the quote if your plans or volumes change.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in Kingston upon Thames?
Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice storage collections in Kingston and nearby areas. Availability depends on crew schedules, vehicle capacity, and space at the storage facility, so it is always best to contact us as soon as you know you may need urgent help. We will give an honest answer about what we can realistically do and offer the nearest possible slot if same-day is not achievable.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them to and from the storage facility. The storage facility itself will also have its own insurance, but as with any policy, there are conditions and limits. We will explain our standard cover clearly and can discuss options if you wish to arrange additional insurance for particularly high-value items. We also minimise risk through careful packing, handling, and secure, monitored storage environments.
What is included in your storage service?
Our standard storage service includes collection of your items from your property, protective wrapping of furniture and large items, transport to the storage facility, unloading into your allocated unit, and eventual return delivery when requested. We can also provide a full packing service if you prefer not to pack your own boxes. All handling is carried out by trained movers using suitable equipment and materials. Exclusions include prohibited items, specialist crating, and any additional insurance you may choose to arrange.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
With Movers Kingston upon Thames, you are getting a professional removals and storage service rather than a casual transport option. We provide fully insured teams, proper inventories, protective materials, and secure, managed storage facilities. Our crews are trained in safe lifting and loading techniques, and we take responsibility for your belongings throughout the process. A basic man-and-van may be cheaper initially, but often lacks insurance, formal procedures, and secure storage, which can be risky for valuable or sentimental items.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busier periods such as summer and month-end. That said, we understand that plans can change suddenly, and we will always try to help with short-notice requests where our schedule allows. If you are unsure of your exact move or return dates, we can still reserve storage for you and adjust details as your plans become clearer.
