Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are between properties, renovating or staging your home for sale, our short and long-term furniture storage keeps your belongings safe until you are ready for them back. We can store single items or the contents of an entire property.
Renters
Ending a tenancy, moving in with a partner or waiting for a new place? We provide flexible storage from a few weeks to many months, with options to upsize or downsize your storage space as your situation changes.
Landlords
For landlords refurbishing between lets or switching between furnished and unfurnished, we can collect, inventory and store furniture securely, then redeliver when needed. We help you protect your investment furniture and keep void periods clear for trades.
Businesses
Offices, shops and other organisations use our furniture storage for surplus desks, chairs, shelving, display units and reception furniture. Ideal during office moves, refurbishments and seasonal layout changes, with structured inventories and flexible access by arrangement.
Students
Students moving out of halls or student houses for the summer can store beds, desks, chairs and small furniture items without dragging everything back home. We offer practical, budget-conscious solutions tailored to smaller loads.
What Items We Can Store
We handle most household and office furniture, including:
- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
- Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
- Desks, office chairs, filing cabinets and bookcases
- TV units, coffee tables and occasional furniture
- Flat-pack items (dismantled and wrapped)
- Outdoor furniture (clean and dry), shelving and some white goods by agreement
Items We Cannot Store
To comply with safety regulations and insurance, we do not store:
- Perishable or food items
- Flammable, hazardous or corrosive materials (paints, fuels, gas bottles, chemicals)
- Illegal goods or stolen property
- Live animals or plants
- Cash, high-value jewellery, or certain collectibles (these are better held in secure personal custody)

If you are unsure whether a particular item is allowed, we will advise clearly before collection.
Our Step-by-Step Furniture Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with a brief overview of what you need to store and for how long. We ask some simple questions about the volume of furniture, access at your property and your preferred dates. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger jobs, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. A surveyor will walk through the property with you, listing items, assessing access (stairs, lifts, parking) and confirming any dismantling needed. This allows us to allocate the right size vehicle, crew and storage space, ensuring accurate pricing and a smooth moving day.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the day, our professional movers bring blankets, export-grade wrap and covers. We can offer:
- Full packing service for smaller items and fragile pieces
- Part packing if you prefer to do most yourself
- Furniture dismantling where appropriate (beds, wardrobes, large tables)
Each item is wrapped, labelled and listed on an inventory so we know exactly what is in storage and its condition at collection.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your furniture carefully onto our vehicles using protective coverings and securing everything to minimise movement in transit. We use specialist moving equipment and modern vehicles, and your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance during the journey from your property to our storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement in Store
At the storage facility, we unload and arrange your furniture within your allocated unit or container. Items remain wrapped or covered for ongoing protection. The inventory is updated and cross-checked, and your unit is secured. When you are ready for your furniture back, we reverse the process: collection from store, transport and unloading & placement in your new property.
Transparent Furniture Storage Pricing
We keep our pricing straightforward and transparent. Your quote will usually include:
- Collection from your current address
- Wrapping and basic protection for furniture
- Weekly or monthly storage rate based on volume
- Redelivery to your new address when required
Costs depend on the amount of furniture, access conditions, packing requirements and the length of storage. There are no hidden charges: we explain all fees in advance, including any optional extras such as full packing, dismantling or additional insurance cover if required.
Why Choose Professional Furniture Storage Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Storing furniture is not just about finding an empty space. With our professional service you benefit from:
- Fully insured transport and storage, unlike many casual operators
- Trained moving teams who know how to protect and handle bulky items
- Proper wrapping materials and covers to prevent scuffs, dents and moisture damage
- Structured inventories so you always know what is in store
- Secure, monitored premises rather than ad-hoc garages or lock-ups
DIY or informal man-and-van jobs can look cheaper on the surface, but the risks of damage, loss, lack of insurance and poor packing often outweigh any savings.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to recognised removals-industry standards, giving you peace of mind that your furniture is in safe hands.
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your furniture while it is being moved between your property and our storage facility.
- Public liability cover for work carried out in and around your home or business premises.
- Trained moving teams with experience in dismantling, wrapping, lifting and stacking furniture safely.
We will explain the level of cover included as standard, and can discuss additional options if you are storing particularly high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat stored furniture with the same level of care as a full home removal. That means:
- Clean, dry, ventilated storage spaces
- Protective blankets, mattress covers and sofa covers used as needed
- Careful stacking to avoid crushing or warping
We also take a practical approach to sustainability. Wherever possible, we use reusable transit blankets, durable plastic crates and recyclable packing materials. We plan routes efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage and emissions, while still meeting your timing requirements.
Real-World Furniture Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Chains fall through, completion dates slip and new builds run late. Our furniture storage solutions bridge the gap so your move can still go ahead without you having to sell or give away good furniture because of timing issues.
Office Relocation
Businesses often find that new offices are not ready when originally planned, or that they need time to decide on layouts. We can store surplus desks, chairs and cabinets, then deliver them in stages as required, minimising disruption to your staff.
Refurbishments and Redecoration
Clearing rooms properly before trades start work helps achieve a better finish and reduces the risk of accidental damage. We remove and store your furniture safely away from dust, paint and tools, returning it once the work is complete.
Urgent and Last-Minute Storage
Life does not always give plenty of notice. If a tenancy ends sooner than expected or a buyer needs a fast completion date, we can often arrange urgent furniture storage at short notice, subject to availability. We focus on practical solutions rather than adding stress during already difficult situations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Bexleyheath cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much furniture you have and how long you need to store it. We typically price by volume (for example, the number of storage containers or the cubic footage required), plus collection and redelivery charges. Packing, dismantling and access difficulties can also affect the overall price. Once we understand what you need to store and your addresses, we provide a clear, itemised quotation with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit.
Can you provide same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where capacity allows, we do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice storage requests. Availability will depend on crew scheduling, vehicle availability and space at the storage facility. If your situation is urgent, contact us as early in the day as possible and explain your timescales. We will outline what we can realistically achieve, any limitations, and the costs involved, so you can make an informed decision under time pressure without unexpected surprises.
Is my furniture insured while in storage and during transport?
Yes. Your furniture is protected by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved between your property and our storage facility, and by our storage cover while it is in store, subject to our terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover for work carried out at your premises. Before work starts, we will explain the standard limits, any exclusions, and how you can request additional cover if you have particularly high-value items that need a higher insurance value.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
Our standard service includes collection from your property, protective wrapping of furniture, loading, transport to our storage facility, secure storage, and redelivery when you are ready. We also produce an inventory so you know exactly what is in store. Additional services such as full packing of smaller items, dismantling and reassembly, and specialist packing for fragile or high-value furniture can be added if required. All inclusions and any optional extras are clearly set out in your written quotation.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van option often provides just transport with minimal protection or accountability. By contrast, we supply trained crews, high-quality wrapping materials, structured inventories, secure monitored storage and fully insured handling throughout. We plan the job in advance, assess access, and provide written confirmation of costs and cover. This reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes, and gives you a single, responsible provider managing your furniture from doorstep to store and back again.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
Ideally, book as soon as you know you will need storage, particularly during busy periods such as summer and month-ends. One to two weeks' notice is usually enough for most jobs, but larger households or business moves may benefit from longer planning. That said, we regularly help customers at much shorter notice when circumstances change unexpectedly. The more notice you can give, the better the chance of securing your preferred dates and times at the most cost-effective rate.
