Local Expertise in Cubitt Town
Because we are based in and around Cubitt Town, we know the local streets, estates and developments extremely well. That matters when we are collecting or delivering to new-build apartments, riverside developments and properties with tight access or parking restrictions.
We regularly work with residents on the Isle of Dogs, local businesses along Manchester Road, and landlords managing properties across Cubitt Town and the wider Docklands area. Our local knowledge helps us plan vehicle sizes, access routes and timings so collections and returns are efficient and smooth.
Who Our Long-Term Storage Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are renovating, extending, moving abroad or downsizing but not yet ready to part with furniture and personal possessions. We can store the contents of a single room up to a full family home.
Renters
Perfect if you are between tenancies, relocating for work, or heading abroad for a while but want to keep your belongings safe until you return to Cubitt Town or elsewhere in London.
Landlords
We help landlords store furniture when changing between furnished and unfurnished lets, or while refurbishing properties. We can collect directly from your rental property and return when the work is complete.
Businesses
From surplus office furniture and archived files to stock and equipment, our business storage is flexible, secure and fully itemised if required. We work with SMEs, professional services, retailers and contractors across Cubitt Town.
Students
If you are studying in London and going home for long breaks or a year abroad, we can store your belongings safely until you are back, saving you the cost and hassle of re-buying everything.
What You Can Store Long-Term
Most everyday household and office items can be stored, including:
- Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
- Boxes of clothes, books, toys and personal items
- Home electronics and small appliances
- Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment
- Exhibition equipment, displays and marketing materials
- Sports equipment and seasonal items such as Christmas decorations
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from long-term storage:
- Perishable goods (food, plants, anything that can rot or attract pests)
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (fuels, paints, gas bottles, chemicals)
- Illegal items of any kind
- Cash, jewellery or high-value personal documents (these are better kept in a safe or bank)
- Live animals or any living creatures
If you are unsure about a particular item, ask us before packing and we will advise on the safest approach.
Our Step-by-Step Long-Term Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a brief outline of what you need to store, where you are in Cubitt Town and your timescales. We will provide a clear, no-obligation estimate based on the expected volume, access and duration of storage.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger loads, whole properties or business storage, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to accurately assess volume, note any access challenges and advise on the best storage solution. It also helps avoid surprises on the day and ensures the quote is accurate.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your items yourself, or use our professional packing service. Our team will bring quality materials, protect delicate items, and label boxes clearly. For long-term storage, we pay particular attention to wrapping furniture, mattresses and electronics to guard against dust and scuffs over time.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our trained movers arrive at the agreed time, protect floors and doorways as needed, and carefully load your belongings onto our vehicles. Everything is secured for transport, then moved into our storage facility in a controlled, organised way.
5. Unloading & Placement into Storage
At the storage facility, your items are unloaded into your allocated containers or unit. If you choose, we can create a detailed inventory so you know exactly what is stored. When you are ready for your belongings back, we arrange delivery and place items into the rooms you specify.
Transparent Pricing for Long-Term Storage
We aim to keep our pricing straightforward and transparent. Costs are typically based on:
- The volume of goods to be stored (measured in cubic feet or metres)
- The length of time you need storage
- Whether you require collection, delivery and packing services
- Any special handling needs (for example, oversized or delicate items)
You will receive a written quote that clearly sets out storage fees and any additional services, with no hidden charges. We can also discuss options for reducing costs, such as decluttering before storage or adjusting the collection schedule.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using a professional removals and storage company offers clear benefits over a basic man-and-van or self-storage approach:
- Proper protection – we use blankets, covers and quality packing materials to prevent damage.
- Consistent handling – the same trained team that collects your items loads them into secure storage.
- Insurance-backed cover – your belongings are protected by appropriate policies while being moved and stored.
- Time and effort saving – no hiring vans, multiple trips, or struggling with heavy furniture.
- Professional standards – documented procedures, risk assessments and clear communication.
For long-term storage, these differences really matter. Poorly packed or stacked items left for months can be damaged beyond repair. Our methods are designed specifically to avoid that.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to clear professional standards, with appropriate insurance in place for your peace of mind:
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being moved between your property and our storage facility.
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property during collections and deliveries.
- Trained moving teams who are experienced in handling furniture, fragile items and awkward loads safely.
We will explain exactly what is covered and can advise on any additional insurance you may wish to arrange for particularly high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat stored items as if they were our own. That means careful packing, padded vehicle interiors, secure stacking in storage and regular checks on the condition of units and containers. We also pay attention to sustainability where we can.
We reuse strong cartons where appropriate, encourage clients to use reusable crates for some moves, and recycle packing materials responsibly. Our vehicles are maintained for efficiency, and we plan routes around Cubitt Town to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House
When completion dates do not align, long-term storage can bridge the gap between selling and buying. We can move you out of your Cubitt Town property, store everything securely, then deliver to your new address when it is ready.
Office Relocation
Businesses often use storage during phased refurbishments or relocations. We can store surplus furniture, archives and equipment, and deliver in stages as your new layout is completed, keeping operations running smoothly.
Urgent Moves
Sometimes you need to clear a property quickly – for example, after a change in circumstances, a sale completing sooner than expected, or to start unplanned renovation work. Our long-term storage gives you a fast, secure way to clear space while you decide on your next steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does long-term storage in Cubitt Town cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need and for how long. We price storage by volume, so you only pay for the space your belongings actually take up, plus any collection, delivery and packing services you choose. Longer storage periods can work out cheaper per week, and we are happy to suggest ways to minimise costs, such as decluttering before storage. After a quick discussion or survey, we will provide a clear written quote with all charges itemised so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in Cubitt Town?
Where our schedule allows, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice collections for storage, particularly within Cubitt Town and nearby areas. Availability depends on vehicle and crew schedules on the day, so the sooner you contact us, the better chance we have of fitting you in. Even when we cannot attend immediately, we will usually be able to offer a very prompt collection. Let us know your timescales and we will give honest guidance on what we can do.
Are my belongings insured while in long-term storage?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from storage, and we maintain appropriate cover for items held within our facility. During your quotation, we will explain the levels of cover, any limits or exclusions, and how claims would be handled in the unlikely event of a problem. For especially high-value or unusual items, we may recommend that you also speak to your own insurer to ensure they are fully protected in line with your requirements.
What is included in your long-term storage service?
Our core service includes secure storage space, handling into and out of storage, and basic protection such as blankets and wrapping for furniture. Most customers also choose collection and delivery by our professional moving teams, so they do not have to hire vans or move heavy items themselves. Optional extras include full packing, supply of packing materials, and detailed inventory services. We will tailor the package to suit what you need, and confirm in writing exactly what is and is not included before you book.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van will usually just move items from A to B, with limited protection, no long-term storage facility and often no formal insurance. Our service combines trained removals staff, appropriate insurance, secure monitored storage and proper packing methods. We handle planning, access checks and item protection, and we remain responsible for your belongings throughout their time with us. For long-term storage, this professional approach significantly reduces the risk of damage or disputes and gives you a single accountable company to deal with.
How far in advance should I book long-term storage?
Ideally, book as soon as you know you will need storage, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-ends. A week or two’s notice is usually enough for most jobs, but we regularly accommodate shorter notice where we can. Early booking gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, plan vehicle and crew availability, and provide packing materials in advance. Even if your dates are not fixed, it is worth talking to us early so we can pencil you in and advise on the best timing.
