Every option is handled by our trained, professional, fully insured team, so you have one accountable company from door to store.

Local Marylebone Expertise

Working daily in and around Marylebone, we understand the realities of moving and storing in W1 – tight streets, controlled parking zones, mansion blocks and period conversions with limited access. We plan around local restrictions, arrange parking suspensions where needed, and send the right size vehicle for your street and building.

Because we know the area so well, we can often offer more flexible collection times, quicker turnarounds and realistic advice on what will and will not work in your specific property.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you’re in a chain, downsizing, or staging your property for sale. We can remove non‑essential items into storage, leaving your home clear and presentable while keeping everything safe until you’re ready for delivery to your new address.

Renters

Perfect for tenants between rentals, moving abroad temporarily, or needing to store large furniture that won’t fit in a new flat. We can collect directly from your current property and redeliver to your next address when you’re ready.

Landlords

Useful when you need to clear a property between tenancies, protect furniture during refurbishment, or switch from furnished to unfurnished lets. We catalogue items and return them when required, helping you manage your portfolio more efficiently.

Businesses

Our business storage suits offices, retailers and clinics needing to store furniture, equipment, marketing materials or archived files. We can combine office removals, inventory management and scheduled deliveries, so your team can focus on core work.

Students

Students often need short-term storage over the summer or while studying abroad. We offer cost‑effective shared storage options and can collect from halls or private rentals, then redeliver at the start of term.

What We Can and Cannot Store

Items Commonly Placed into Storage

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes and general household furniture
• Books, clothes, personal effects and hobby equipment
• Kitchenware, small appliances and boxed items
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment

Items We Cannot Store

To comply with safety, insurance and legal requirements, some items are excluded:

• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (e.g. paint thinners, gas bottles, fireworks)
• Illegal goods, stolen items or anything obtained unlawfully

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or online form with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask some simple questions, then provide a clear, itemised quotation explaining collection, storage costs and redelivery options.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger consignments, we recommend a short video or onsite survey in Marylebone. This allows us to estimate the volume accurately, assess access (stairs, lifts, parking) and agree any special handling requirements. An accurate survey means no last‑minute changes to price on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing service – our trained team packs everything using professional materials
• Part packing – we pack fragile and high‑value items; you do the simpler bits
• Self packing – you pack; we supply materials if needed

We label and inventory your items, so you know exactly what is in storage and can request specific boxes or pieces back if required.

4. Loading & Transport

On collection day, our professional team arrives on time, protects floors and communal areas, and carefully loads your belongings. Everything is securely strapped in the vehicle and transported to our storage facility under goods in transit insurance. We work efficiently but never rush handling.

5. Unloading & Placement in Store

At the facility, your items are unloaded into your allocated container or area. Containers are sealed and labelled; racking and pallets are used where appropriate to keep items off the floor and well‑organised. When you’re ready, we arrange redelivery back to your Marylebone address or onward to a new location.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Your quote will break down:

• Collection and handling charges
• Weekly or monthly storage cost based on volume
• Optional packing materials and packing service
• Redelivery charges from store to your chosen address

There are no hidden fees for basic access or standard insurance cover. Longer‑term customers may benefit from reduced rates, and businesses storing larger volumes can discuss tailored packages. All prices are confirmed in writing before you commit.

Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?

While it can be tempting to hire a cheap van and find your own storage, the risks add up quickly. With a casual man‑and‑van, you may not have adequate insurance, trained handling, or a clear inventory – especially important if something goes missing or is damaged.

Our service combines trained staff, fully insured transport and secure facilities, meaning your belongings are looked after throughout. You avoid multiple trips across London traffic, awkward lifting, and uncertainty about security. In many cases, once you factor in time, fuel, materials and potential damage, a professional storage and removals service is better value overall.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We operate to high professional standards and back this up with appropriate insurance cover:

• Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while being moved between property and store
• Public liability cover – covering our work in your home, office or building common areas
• Trained moving teams – staff are trained in lifting, packing, and protection techniques

We will explain the limits and conditions of cover clearly. If you have particularly high‑value or specialist items, we can discuss additional arrangements or specialist valuations.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Protecting your belongings starts with correct materials and handling. We use quality boxes, wrapping, furniture blankets and mattress covers, and we take care to protect doors, bannisters and lifts in Marylebone’s often delicate period buildings.

Where possible, we reuse durable materials such as plastic crates and furniture blankets. Cardboard and paper products are sourced responsibly and recycled once they reach the end of their life. Our vehicles are planned to minimise unnecessary mileage, reducing congestion and emissions in the local area.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

Chains don’t always align neatly. We regularly help Marylebone clients move out on one date, store belongings securely, and then deliver everything once the new property completes. This avoids rushed decisions or the need to dispose of items you actually want to keep.

Office Relocation

When offices relocate or refurbish, storage is often needed for surplus furniture, seasonal items or archive files. We can phase collections and deliveries around your project schedule, maintaining a clear inventory for your facilities or operations team.

Urgent or Last-Minute Moves

Sometimes unexpected circumstances – end of tenancy notices, water leaks, or personal situations – mean you need fast, reliable storage. Subject to availability, we can often arrange same‑day or next‑day collection in Marylebone, providing an immediate, secure solution while you decide your next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Marylebone cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need and for how long. We measure volume in cubic feet or metres and calculate a weekly or monthly rate. On top of that, there are one‑off charges for collection, handling and eventual redelivery. Smaller consignments for a few weeks can be very affordable, while whole‑house contents for several months naturally cost more. We will always provide a written, itemised quote so you can see exactly what you’re paying for and adjust the level of service to suit your budget.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

In many cases, yes. Because we work locally in Marylebone and keep regular access to storage facilities, we can often arrange same‑day or next‑day collection, especially for smaller properties or partial loads. Availability will depend on vehicle and crew schedules, as well as current capacity in store, but we will always do our best to help in urgent situations. If timing is critical, contact us as early in the day as possible so we can look at options and confirm a realistic arrival window.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Yes, your belongings are protected by our standard insurance arrangements. We provide goods in transit insurance while items are being moved between your property and the storage facility, and cover continues while they remain in our care, subject to policy terms and value limits. We’ll explain exactly what is included, any exclusions, and what information we may need from you for higher‑value items. If you prefer, you can also maintain your own contents insurance and advise your insurer that your goods are in professional storage – many are happy to extend cover.

What is included in your storage service?

At its simplest, our service includes collection by a professional removals team, secure transport to our facility, unloading, and safe storage for the agreed period. We can add packing services, supply materials, and provide detailed inventories as needed. When you’re ready, we arrange redelivery to your chosen address. Unlike a basic self‑storage unit, you don’t need to hire a van, do heavy lifting, or worry about navigating London traffic. Everything is coordinated and carried out by trained staff from start to finish.

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

A casual man‑and‑van may seem cheaper at first, but often lacks formal training, proper insurance and secure storage arrangements. We provide a complete, accountable service: trained teams, fully insured transport, professional packing options and secure facilities. We log what goes into store, use suitable materials, and handle access to your goods in an organised way. This greatly reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes. For most people, especially with full households or business equipment, that peace of mind and reliability is well worth the difference in price.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For planned moves, booking one to three weeks in advance is ideal, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, arrange any parking suspensions in Marylebone, and confirm the right vehicle and team. That said, we regularly help clients at short notice and do keep some flexibility in our schedule. If your situation is urgent, contact us as soon as you can and we’ll let you know realistically what we can offer.
