Secure Storage in Roehampton with Roehampton Movers

At Roehampton Movers we provide secure, flexible storage solutions for households and businesses in Roehampton and the surrounding areas. As an established local removals company, we understand how to keep possessions safe between moves, during renovations, or when you simply need more space.

Professional Storage Services in Roehampton

Our storage service is built around the same principles as our removals work: careful planning, clear communication and strong protection for your belongings. Whether you need a single room’s contents stored for a few weeks or an entire office archived for several months, we can tailor a solution that fits.

All items are kept in purpose-designed storage facilities with robust security systems, and handled end-to-end by our trained, professional teams. We collect, store and redeliver on dates that work for you, so you don’t have to hire a van, lift heavy furniture or worry about access.

Who Our Roehampton Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you’re selling, decluttering for viewings, renovating, or bridging a gap between properties. We can store anything from a few key pieces of furniture to your entire household contents, then deliver to your new home when you’re ready.

Renters

If your tenancy dates don’t line up or you’re moving abroad temporarily, our storage gives you somewhere safe and affordable to keep your belongings. We can collect from your current flat and deliver to your next address whenever you confirm it.

Landlords

We help landlords store furniture and appliances between lets, during refurbishments, or when converting properties. We can also clear and store items while you decide what to keep, donate or dispose of.

Businesses

Our business storage is suited to excess office furniture, archived files, seasonal stock, display equipment and more. We can work outside business hours to keep disruption low and provide ongoing collections and deliveries as your needs change.

Students

Students at Roehampton and nearby universities can store belongings over the holidays or during a year abroad. We offer compact, cost-effective storage packages perfect for room contents, clothes, books and small furniture.

What We Can Store

We can safely store most household and business items, including:

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and other furniture
• Boxes of clothes, books, files and personal items
• IT equipment, office furniture and archive boxes
• Domestic appliances such as washing machines and fridges (drained and cleaned)
• Sports equipment, bikes and hobby items
• Exhibition stands, marketing materials and event equipment

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some things we are unable to accept into storage:

• Perishable or open food and drink
• Flammable, explosive or corrosive materials (including gas bottles and fuel)
• Illegal goods or items of unknown origin
• Live plants, animals or biological materials
• Cash, jewellery and high-value portable items best kept in a safe or bank
• Hazardous chemicals, paint thinners and similar substances

If you are unsure whether we can store a particular item, we will advise you during your enquiry or survey.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact our Roehampton office by phone or online with a brief description of what you need to store and for how long. We ask a few straightforward questions to understand volume, access, and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage, and eventual redelivery if required.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger loads or more complex access, we carry out a free survey. This can be virtual (video call and photos) or onsite in Roehampton and nearby areas. We measure volumes accurately, check parking and access, identify fragile or bulky items, and confirm any dismantling or packing needs so that moving day runs smoothly.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed day, our professional team arrives with protective materials: blankets, export wrap, mattress covers and sturdy boxes. We can offer a full packing service or simply protect furniture and large items for transport and storage. Everything is clearly labelled so we know exactly what’s in each container and where it should return to later.

4. Loading & Transport

We carefully load your belongings onto our vehicles, using covers, padding and tie-downs to prevent movement in transit. Our fully insured vehicles are designed for removals and storage work, and our drivers are experienced in navigating Roehampton’s streets and wider London routes. We then transport your goods directly to our secure storage facility.

5. Unloading & Safe Storage Placement

At the facility, your items are unloaded methodically and placed into clean, designated storage units. We stack and position goods to minimise pressure on delicate items and keep everything accessible. An inventory can be created on request, giving you a clear record of what is stored for the duration of your contract.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We believe storage costs should be straightforward and easy to understand. Our pricing is based on:

• The volume of goods (how much space you need)
• The length of time you wish to store
• Collection and redelivery requirements
• Optional services such as packing, dismantling and inventory preparation

You will receive a written breakdown so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden charges for basic access or standard handling, and we will always confirm any potential additional costs (such as extra labour for unusual access) before you commit.

Why Choose Professional Storage over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

Using a professional removals and storage company offers several advantages over self-storage or ad-hoc man-and-van services:

• Trained staff who know how to pack and stack safely, reducing the risk of damage
• Purpose-built vehicles and equipment, not general-use vans
• Goods in transit insurance and storage cover for your peace of mind
• End-to-end handling: we collect, store and redeliver, so you avoid heavy lifting
• Clear contracts and standards, rather than informal cash arrangements

DIY can seem cheaper initially, but when you factor in van hire, fuel, time off work, injuries and potential damage to belongings, a reliable professional team is often the more economical long-term choice.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a responsible removals and storage company, we operate under strict standards and carry appropriate insurance cover:

• Goods in transit insurance for items while they are being moved between locations
• Public liability cover for work carried out at your home, business or building
• Trained storage and removals teams following agreed handling procedures

We will explain what our insurance covers and where specific limits apply, and we can discuss additional protection for particularly high-value items if required.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat stored items with the same care as if they were being moved straight into a new home. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses and sofas are covered, and boxes are stacked with weight and fragility in mind. We aim to minimise the use of single-use plastics by reusing quality packing materials wherever appropriate and offering durable crates where suitable.

Where items are no longer needed, we can help arrange responsible disposal or donation, reducing waste and supporting local charities.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

Commonly, our storage bridges the gap between selling and completing on a new property. We can collect everything on your moving-out date, store for as long as needed, and then deliver to your new address, whether that is in Roehampton or further afield.

Office Relocations and Refits

Businesses often need temporary storage while refurbishing premises or relocating. We can hold surplus desks, chairs, filing cabinets, stock and IT equipment, returning items in phases to suit your new layout and schedule.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes circumstances change quickly: a sale completes sooner than expected, or you need to vacate a rental property at short notice. Subject to availability, we can arrange rapid collection and storage, giving you breathing space to sort out your next steps without rushing decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with Roehampton Movers cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you store for, and whether you require collection and redelivery. We calculate volume based on a survey or your detailed inventory, then match this to the most efficient storage option. You’ll receive a clear, written quote with collection, storage and any optional services listed separately. There are no hidden fees for standard access or basic handling, and we can often suggest ways to reduce costs by optimising packing or consolidating items.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?

Subject to availability, we can often arrange storage at short notice, including same-day collections in Roehampton and nearby areas. If you need urgent help, call us as early as possible with an outline of what needs to be stored and from where. We’ll check vehicle and crew availability, advise you on how to prioritise items, and confirm realistic timings. While we can’t guarantee every last-minute request, our local knowledge and flexible teams mean we’re usually able to offer a practical solution.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved, and by storage cover while they are in our care. This is in addition to our public liability cover for work carried out at your property. We’ll explain the key terms, including any policy limits and exclusions, when you book. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may recommend additional cover or a specialist arrangement so that you have complete peace of mind throughout the storage period.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes collection from your home or business, professional loading onto our vehicles, safe transport to our facility, and secure storage for the agreed period. We always provide basic protection for furniture and large items. Optional extras include full or part packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, detailed inventories, and redelivery to the same or a different address when you are ready. We’ll build a package around what you actually need, rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all approach.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van can move items from A to B, but typically won’t provide dedicated storage, formal insurance, or structured processes. With Roehampton Movers you get trained staff, fully insured vehicles, secure storage facilities, and clear documentation of what we’re doing and when. We plan access, protect furniture properly, and take responsibility from collection through to redelivery. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes, and usually proves more cost-effective once all factors are considered.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking storage at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy moving periods such as the end of the month or summer. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, and we always keep some flexibility in our schedule for short-notice requests. The earlier you contact us with your likely dates and volume, the easier it is for us to secure the right space and arrange a smooth collection.
