At Storage Cubitt Town we provide secure, flexible short-term storage for households and businesses who need safe space for a few days, weeks or months.

What Our Short-Term Storage Service Includes
Our short-term storage in Cubitt Town is a complete, managed solution. We can collect your items, pack them if required, transport them to our secure storage facility, keep them for as long as you need, and then redeliver when you are ready.
Everything is handled by our own trained, professional storage and removals team, with full inventory recording and optional packing services.
Who Our Short-Term Storage Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are in a chain, have a completion date before your new home is ready, or are having renovation work carried out. We can collect furniture and personal effects on moving day, store them safely, and deliver to your new address once you get the keys.
Renters
If your tenancy dates do not quite line up, or you are moving between furnished and unfurnished properties, short-term storage gives you breathing space. Store bulky items, appliances and boxes until your new place is available, without imposing on friends or family.
Landlords
When changing tenants or refurbishing a property, you may need furniture out of the way but not permanently removed. We offer short-term storage for beds, white goods, sofas and more, making it easier to redecorate or switch between furnished and unfurnished lets.
Businesses
Businesses in Cubitt Town use our short-term storage for office moves, seasonal stock, event equipment and archive files. We offer flexible space that can increase or decrease as needed, with professional handling of IT equipment, office furniture and marketing materials.
Students
Students often face awkward gaps between term-time accommodation and summer plans. Our small-space options are perfect for boxes, suitcases, bikes and small furniture, so you do not have to move everything back home between terms.
Items We Commonly Store
Our short-term storage service is suitable for most everyday household and business items, including:
- Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other furniture
- Boxes of clothes, books, toys and personal belongings
- Kitchen appliances and white goods
- Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment
- Tools, trade equipment and exhibition materials

- Live animals or plants
- Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents (we recommend using a safe deposit facility)
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you during the survey stage.
How Our Short-Term Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Storage Cubitt Town by phone or online with an outline of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few questions about volume, access and timing, then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation tailored to your requirements.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
To ensure we allocate the right amount of storage space and the correct size of vehicle, we carry out a survey. This can be a video call or an onsite visit in Cubitt Town and the surrounding areas. We assess access, item list and any special handling requirements, and confirm the final plan with you.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or choose our professional packing service. Our team will bring quality packing materials, dismantle larger furniture if needed, and wrap delicate items using export-grade materials. Everything is labelled and inventoried so nothing is misplaced during storage.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our trained crew arrive at the agreed time, protect floors and bannisters, then carefully load your items onto our vehicles. Furniture and fragile items are blanket-wrapped and secured. We then transport everything directly to our secure storage facility, minimising handling.
5. Unloading, Storage & Redelivery
At the facility, items are unloaded into your allocated storage space, checked against the inventory and stored clean and dry. When you are ready, simply book redelivery. We then load your belongings, bring them back to your new address, and place furniture and boxes in the rooms you choose.
Local Expertise in Cubitt Town
Being based near Cubitt Town means we understand local properties, access issues and parking restrictions. From modern apartments on the Isle of Dogs to traditional terraces and new-build developments, we plan our collections and deliveries with local conditions in mind.
We can advise on loading bays, lift use, tight stairwells and residents' parking, helping to avoid delays and last-minute problems on the day.
Transparent Pricing for Short-Term Storage
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. The cost of short-term storage with Storage Cubitt Town depends on:
- The volume of goods to be stored
- The length of time you need storage
- Whether you require packing and dismantling services
- Access requirements and any out-of-hours work
Your quotation will clearly show separate costs for collection, storage and redelivery. There are no hidden charges, and you can extend or shorten your storage term subject to availability. For business customers, we can provide itemised invoices for accounting purposes.
Why Choose Professional Storage Instead of DIY
Using a professional short-term storage service offers several advantages over self-hire vans or casual man-and-van options:
- Trained crews who know how to handle and protect furniture and fragile items
- Purpose-built vehicles with securing points and protective equipment
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover included
- Proper inventories, labelling and organised loading to make redelivery easier
- Reduced risk of damage, injury or access issues on the day
While DIY options may seem cheaper initially, the cost of breakages, repeated trips and time off work often outweighs the saving. Professional storage gives you peace of mind and a smoother experience.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take the safety of your belongings seriously. Storage Cubitt Town is fully insured with:
- Goods in transit insurance while your items are being moved
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
Our teams are directly employed, trained and experienced in both removals and storage. We follow industry best practices for lifting, loading and protecting items, and we review our procedures regularly to maintain high standards.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to look after your belongings and the environment. Items are wrapped and protected using quality materials chosen to minimise damage. Where possible, we reuse durable blankets, crates and cartons, and we recycle packaging at the end of its life.
Our vehicles are maintained for efficiency, and we plan routes carefully to reduce unnecessary mileage around Cubitt Town and across London. If you have particular sustainability requirements, please let us know and we will work with you to meet them.
Real-World Uses for Short-Term Storage
Moving House
Chains can be unpredictable. Short-term storage allows you to move out on time even if your new home is not quite ready. We can hold your goods securely for a few days or weeks until completion or keys are confirmed.
Office Relocation
Businesses often need to decant furniture and equipment in stages when refurbishing or relocating. We can store surplus items during the transition, then deliver them to your new office once the layout is finalised.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
Sometimes moves happen at short notice due to personal circumstances, landlord decisions or changes in a property chain. Our short-term storage can provide an immediate solution, keeping your belongings safe while you sort out your next step.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does short-term storage in Cubitt Town cost?
The cost of short-term storage depends primarily on how much space you need and how long you require it. We calculate this based on a survey of your items, then provide a clear weekly or monthly rate, plus any collection and redelivery charges. Optional services such as packing, dismantling and out-of-hours work are itemised separately. There are no hidden fees, and you only pay for the space and services you actually use. Contact us with a brief list of items and dates, and we will provide a tailored quotation.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage in Cubitt Town. If you have been let down by another provider, or have an unexpected change in circumstances, call us as early as possible. We will check vehicle and crew availability, confirm how much space you need, and aim to provide a rapid collection and storage solution. While same-day service cannot be guaranteed at busy times, we will always do our best to accommodate urgent requests.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved, and are stored in secure, monitored facilities. We will explain the standard cover levels included as part of your quotation, and can often arrange additional cover for particularly high-value items if requested in advance. Our public liability cover also protects you while we are working in or around your property. Full details of our insurance arrangements are available on request, and we are happy to answer specific questions about coverage.
What is included in your short-term storage service?
Our standard service includes collection of your items, loading by a professional crew, transport to our storage facility, secure storage for the agreed period, and redelivery to your new address. We also provide basic protection such as blankets and wrapping for furniture, along with an inventory of stored items. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and out-of-hours or weekend work. Your quote will clearly state what is included so you can choose the level of service that suits you.
How is this different from using a man-and-van or self storage?
A casual man-and-van may not provide trained staff, formal inventories or proper insurance. With Storage Cubitt Town you benefit from trained crews, fully insured transport, organised loading and secure, managed storage. Unlike self storage, you do not have to hire a van, do the lifting, or guess the unit size yourself. We handle everything from collection to redelivery, reducing the risk of damage and saving you time and effort. For many customers, this full service approach works out better value once all costs and risks are considered.
How far in advance should I book short-term storage?
We recommend booking as soon as you know your approximate dates, particularly during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer. A week or two’s notice is ideal, but we regularly accommodate shorter lead times where we have availability. Early booking gives you more choice of dates and allows us to plan access, parking and any additional services such as packing. If your dates are uncertain, we can usually hold a provisional booking and adjust as your plans firm up.
