Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quotation

Contact us by phone or online with a brief description of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask simple questions about item types, volumes and accessibility. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and re-delivery, so you know exactly what to expect.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger loads, we may arrange a short video call or visit your property in Old Malden to assess access, parking and the quantity of items. This helps us allocate the correct vehicle, number of trained movers and storage space, avoiding surprises on the day and ensuring a smooth, efficient service.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or choose our packing service where we supply materials and pack everything for you. We use quality cartons, bubble wrap, furniture blankets and specialist covers. Large items are disassembled where needed, protected and labelled so they can be reassembled correctly when returned.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

On collection day, our professional team arrives on time with the right equipment. We carefully load your belongings, securing everything inside the vehicle for safe transit. Items are then transported directly to our secure storage facility, where they are logged and placed in your allocated unit or container.

5. Storage, Unloading & Return Delivery

At the facility, your items are unloaded, stacked safely and stored for the agreed period. When you are ready, simply contact us to arrange re-delivery. We bring everything back to your new or existing address in Old Malden or the wider area, unload and place items in the rooms you specify, reassembling furniture as agreed.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our storage costs are typically based on:

• The volume of items (measured in cubic feet or metres)
• The length of time you need storage
• Collection and delivery distance from Old Malden
• Any optional services such as packing or furniture dismantling

You’ll receive a clear written quote outlining all charges, including collection, storage and re-delivery. If your needs change – for example, you store for longer than expected – we explain any adjustments in advance. There are no surprise fees.

Why Use a Professional Storage Service Instead of DIY?

Hiring a van and managing storage yourself can seem cheaper, but it often leads to extra trips, poorly packed loads and increased risk of damage. With our professional service, you benefit from:

• Trained movers who know how to handle heavy and delicate items safely
• Proper packing materials and techniques to prevent damage
• Efficient loading and use of space, reducing the volume you pay to store
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability protection
• Time saved by not driving back and forth to a storage facility

Compared with casual man-and-van operators, we provide documented quotes, clear terms, and fully insured cover, giving you confidence that your belongings are protected throughout.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. We take that seriously.

• Goods in transit insurance – Covers your items while being transported between your property and our storage facility.
• Public liability cover – Protects you and your property in the unlikely event of an accident during collection or delivery.
• Trained moving teams – Our staff are experienced in lifting, packing and handling a wide variety of items safely.

We follow recognised industry practices: planning access, using the right equipment and documenting any pre-existing damage so everything is transparent from the outset.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We handle every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped in padded blankets; mattresses and sofas are protected with covers; and boxes are stacked carefully to avoid crushing. Where possible, we re-use quality packing materials and recycle cardboard, paper and plastics responsibly, minimising waste.

We also plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. By combining collections and deliveries in and around Old Malden, we lower fuel usage and environmental impact while maintaining a reliable timetable for our customers.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

• Moving house – Store surplus furniture while you stage your property for sale, or bridge a gap between completion dates.
• Office relocation – Keep non-essential equipment off-site during an office refit or phased move to new premises.
• Urgent moves – If a move falls through or completion dates change at short notice, we can quickly move your belongings into storage to keep them safe.
• Renovations – Protect furniture and belongings from dust, paint and building work by keeping them in storage until the job is complete.
• Seasonal storage – Store displays, stock or sports equipment you only use at certain times of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Old Malden cost?

Costs depend mainly on how much you store, how long for, and whether you need collection and re-delivery. We charge by volume, so you only pay for the space you actually use, plus any transport and optional packing services. Once we understand what you need to store, we provide a clear written quote with all charges laid out. There are no hidden fees, and we can often suggest ways to reduce costs by optimising packing and volume.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

Where possible, yes. If you have an unexpected move, a failed completion, or urgent building work, we’ll do our best to provide same-day or next-day storage in Old Malden. Availability depends on existing bookings and space at the facility, so it’s best to call us as soon as you know you need help. We can often prioritise urgent collections, secure your items in storage quickly, and then arrange re-delivery once your situation has settled.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are transporting them, and by our standard cover while in our care at the facility. We’ll explain the levels of cover included as part of your quote, and you are welcome to increase cover if you have particularly high-value items. We also work hard to minimise risk in the first place, through careful packing, secure loading and controlled access at the storage site.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service typically includes collection from your address in or around Old Malden, protective wrapping of furniture and larger items, transport to our secure facility, safe storage for the agreed period, and re-delivery when you are ready. You can add optional services such as full packing, supply of boxes and materials, and furniture dismantling and reassembly. We’ll confirm exactly what’s included in writing so you know what to expect on the day.

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

Unlike a casual man-and-van, we offer a structured, professional service with written quotes, insurance cover, trained staff and proper packing materials. We don’t just move items from A to B; we plan access, protect your belongings, log them into storage and return them when requested. Our vehicles are equipped for removals, our team are experienced in handling delicate and bulky items, and we stand behind our work with clear terms and customer support.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of dates and to secure space, we recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance, especially during busy moving periods such as summer and month-ends. However, we understand that plans often change at short notice, so we’ll always try to help even if you call us at the last minute. The earlier you contact us, the easier it is to plan the right vehicle, team and storage allocation around your schedule.
