Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are moving house, decluttering before a sale, renovating, or having major work done. We can collect your furniture, store it securely for as long as you need, then redeliver when you are ready.
Renters
If you are between rentals, relocating temporarily or moving into a furnished property, furniture storage gives you flexibility without committing to a larger, more expensive home just to keep your belongings.
Landlords
We support landlords during refurbishments, changeovers and furnishing upgrades. We can store existing furniture, deliver to alternative properties, or hold items while you decide what to keep or dispose of.
Businesses
Our commercial furniture storage suits office moves, refits, downsizing and seasonal needs. Desks, chairs, filing cabinets and reception furniture can be catalogued and stored, ready for phased office setups or future expansion.
Students
If you are heading home outside term time or on a year abroad, storing furniture and larger items in Woodford Green can be more cost-effective than transporting everything back and forth.

- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds

If you are unsure whether something is suitable for storage, we will happily advise before collection.
Our Step-by-Step Furniture Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with a brief description of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few questions about access, item types and any fragile or high-value furniture. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger loads or more complex properties, we recommend a survey. This can be done virtually via video call or onsite. The survey allows us to assess volumes accurately, plan the right size of storage space and confirm any special handling or dismantling required.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed day, our team arrives with protective materials and equipment. We can provide a full packing service, including wrapping furniture in export-grade covers and blankets, or work with items you have prepared yourself. Mattresses, sofas and delicate surfaces are protected before they leave your property.
4. Loading & Transport
Your furniture is carefully carried, loaded and secured in our vehicles by trained movers using trolleys, straps and ramps where needed. We itemise your goods as they are loaded and transport them directly to our secure storage facility, minimising handling and reducing risk.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the warehouse, items are unloaded, checked off against the inventory and placed methodically into your allocated storage space. We stack and position furniture to maximise protection and accessibility. When you are ready, we reverse the process, delivering your furniture back to your chosen address and placing items in the rooms you specify.
Transparent Furniture Storage Pricing
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Your furniture storage quote will typically include:
- Collection from your Woodford Green or nearby address
- Protective wrapping and basic preparation of furniture
- Weekly or monthly storage fee based on volume required
- Redelivery to your chosen address when storage ends
There are no hidden extras for essentials such as blankets or standard insurance cover. Any optional services, such as full packing, dismantling and reassembly, or out-of-hours work, will be clearly listed before you book.
Why Use Professional Furniture Storage Instead of DIY
Hiring a professional storage and removals company provides several important advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:
- Expert handling: Trained staff understand how to carry, protect and stack furniture to avoid damage.
- Proper materials: Professional blankets, covers and ties keep items clean and secure in transit and storage.
- Insurance cover: Your furniture is protected by our goods in transit and public liability policies.
- Time and effort saved: We handle the heavy lifting, dismantling and logistics.
- Clear accountability: A reputable company with documented processes and a physical base.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, both financially and sentimentally. Our service is built around that understanding.
- Goods in transit insurance: Covers your furniture while it is being moved between your property and our facility.
- Public liability cover: Protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury during our work.
- Trained moving teams: All staff receive handling, safety and customer-care training, and work to established procedures.
We are committed to maintaining high standards in everything we do, from punctuality to communication and aftercare.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to protect not only your furniture, but also your home and the environment.
- Floor and doorway protection used where appropriate during collection and delivery
- Careful dismantling and reassembly of suitable furniture to reduce stress on joints and fittings
- Re-usable blankets, covers and crates used wherever possible to minimise waste
- Thoughtful route planning and consolidated trips to reduce unnecessary mileage
Where single-use materials are required, we seek recyclable options and avoid excess packaging.
Real-World Furniture Storage Use Cases
Moving House
If your completion dates do not line up, or you are downsizing and not yet sure what will fit, furniture storage provides breathing space. We can move you out, store surplus items and deliver in stages as your new home takes shape.
Office Relocation or Refurbishment
For businesses upgrading premises or refurbishing, our business furniture storage service keeps desks, chairs and equipment out of harm’s way. We can coordinate phased collections and deliveries around contractors and fit-out schedules.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
When circumstances change quickly – such as a landlord requiring possession or a sale completing faster than planned – we do our best to offer prompt collection and short-notice storage solutions, subject to availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Woodford Green cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space your furniture requires and how long you need storage for. We usually price by the volume (in cubic feet or metres) plus collection and redelivery charges. Short-term storage for a small flat will be far less than long-term storage for a large house or office. Once we know what you have and access details, we provide a clear, fixed quotation with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what you will pay before you commit.
Can you provide same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange short-notice or even same-day collection and storage in Woodford Green and nearby areas. Availability depends on existing bookings, vehicle schedules and space in our facility, so it is always best to call us as soon as you know you need help. We will talk through your situation, confirm what is realistic on the day, and prioritise essential items if time is tight.
Is my furniture insured while in storage and during transport?
Yes. Your furniture is protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved and by our storage cover whilst in our facility. We also hold public liability insurance for work at your property. Our standard cover is suitable for most customers, but if you have particularly high-value pieces or antiques, let us know so we can discuss appropriate valuations and any additional cover you might wish to arrange.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
Our standard service includes collection from your address, protective wrapping with blankets and covers, transport to our storage facility, secure storage in a clean, dry environment, and redelivery when your storage period ends. We also provide an inventory for reference. Optional extras include full packing of smaller items, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and out-of-hours or weekend work if you need extra flexibility.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without formal training, insurance or a secure storage facility. By contrast, we provide trained teams, fully insured transport and purpose-equipped storage, along with proper materials and documented processes. Your furniture is wrapped, inventoried and stored under controlled conditions, and you have clear accountability and support throughout. This greatly reduces the risk of damage, loss or dispute compared to informal arrangements.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
To secure your preferred dates, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. That said, we understand that not every move is planned, so we always keep some flexibility for short-notice requests. Even if your dates are uncertain, it is worth getting in touch early so we can pencil you in and adjust details as your plans become clearer.
