Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you are moving house, decluttering before putting your property on the market, or undertaking renovations. We can store furniture, appliances, and personal belongings safely until you are ready for them back.

Renters

If your tenancy dates do not line up or you need to downsize temporarily, our short-term storage allows you to keep your belongings safe without committing to a long contract or cramming everything into a smaller flat.

Landlords

We work with landlords who need to clear properties between tenancies, store furniture during refurbishments, or hold appliances and fixtures while works are completed. We can also coordinate directly with your managing agent if needed.

Businesses

From small offices to local retailers, our business storage is suitable for archived documents, spare furniture, seasonal stock, exhibition materials, and equipment. We can arrange regular access or scheduled deliveries to suit your trading pattern.

Students

Students in and around Leaves Green can use our student storage for term breaks or gap years. Store books, clothes, and room contents with us instead of moving everything back and forth across the country.

What We Can Store

We can safely store a wide range of household and business items, including:

• Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
• Domestic appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (defrosted)
• Boxes of personal items, books, clothes, toys, and ornaments
• Office furniture – desks, filing cabinets, chairs, shelving
• IT and office equipment – computers, monitors, printers (properly packed)
• Retail stock and promotional materials
• Bikes, sports gear, and hobby equipment

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal, and insurance reasons, there are some items we are unable to place into storage:

• Perishable goods or food items
• Flammable, explosive, or hazardous materials (including gas bottles and fuel)
• Illegal substances or stolen goods
• Live animals or plants
• Cash, jewellery, or high-value collectibles best kept in secure personal custody
• Items that are damp, mouldy, or infested with pests

If you are unsure whether a particular item can be stored, just ask. We will give clear guidance before collection.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with details of what you need to store, your property type, access, and any key dates. We will ask a few questions so we can recommend the right storage volume and duration. Based on this, we provide a transparent, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage fees, and delivery costs.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger loads or more complex properties, we can arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, and the volume of items accurately. It also gives you a chance to ask questions about packing, timing, and insurance, so everything is clear before the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed day, our trained team arrives with protective materials. We can offer a full packing service or simply wrap and protect larger items and furniture. Mattresses, sofas, and delicate pieces are covered, and boxes are labelled for easy identification in storage and when returned.

4. Loading & Transport

We handle all the lifting, loading, and securing of your goods in our vehicles. Items are stacked and strapped carefully to prevent movement in transit. Our vehicles are regularly maintained, and the team uses safe manual handling techniques to protect both your belongings and your property.

5. Unloading & Placement into Storage

At our facility, your items are unloaded and placed into a designated storage area or container. We stack items logically, keeping fragile pieces protected and accessible. When you are ready for delivery, we reverse the process, bringing everything back to your new address and placing it in the rooms you choose.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your overall cost will typically consist of:

• Collection and delivery charges – based on vehicle size, time, and distance
• Storage fees – calculated by volume of goods and length of stay
• Optional services – such as packing materials and full packing

There are no hidden extras; we explain everything upfront. Because we tailor quotes to each customer, you only pay for the space and services you actually need.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

Using a professional, fully insured storage service offers several advantages over doing it yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van:

• Reduced risk of damage thanks to proper packing and handling
• Time saved – no need to hire vans, rope in friends, or make multiple trips
• Secure, monitored storage facilities rather than makeshift garages or sheds
• Clear documentation and accountability if something goes wrong
• Access to advice from experienced professionals used to complex moves

With us, you get a reliable, professional service rather than a one-off cheap job that could cost more in the long run through breakages or loss.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important to you, and we treat them accordingly. Our storage and removals services are backed by:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while being moved between your property and our storage site
• Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to your property or third parties
• Trained moving teams – staff who are experienced, briefed on manual handling, and follow clear procedures

We maintain high standards of care, record-keeping, and communication so you always know where your items are and how they are being looked after.

Care, Protection, and Sustainability

We handle every item as if it were our own. That means using protective blankets, covers, and appropriate stacking methods, and taking care to avoid scuffs to walls, floors, and doorways when collecting and delivering.

We also pay attention to our environmental impact. Wherever possible we:

• Reuse sturdy packing materials such as blankets and crates
• Offer durable cartons that can be reused multiple times
• Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Encourage clients to recycle or donate unwanted items rather than sending them to landfill

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

If your sale and purchase dates do not match, we can move your belongings into storage for a few days or weeks, then deliver them once your new home is ready. This keeps the chain moving and removes pressure around completion dates.

Office Relocation

Businesses often need temporary storage when refurbishing or relocating. We can store desks, files, and equipment while your new premises are being fitted out, then deliver everything in phases so you can set up in an organised way.

Urgent or Same-Week Moves

Life is not always predictable. If you need to vacate a property quickly due to a change in circumstances, we can often arrange swift collection into storage, giving you breathing space to sort out your next steps without losing or damaging belongings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with collection and delivery cost?

Costs depend on three main factors: how much you need to store, how long for, and how far we are travelling to collect and deliver. We typically combine a one-off charge for collection and eventual redelivery with a weekly or monthly storage fee based on the volume of goods. Optional extras, such as packing materials or a full packing service, are itemised separately. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you will pay.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in Leaves Green?

Subject to availability, we can often help with same-day or short-notice storage, especially for smaller loads. If you are facing an urgent situation, contact us as early as possible with details of your property, access, and the items involved. We will check our schedule and storage capacity and let you know what we can do. Even when same-day is not possible, we can usually arrange a prompt collection within a very short timeframe.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your property and our facility, and our public liability cover protects against damage to property or third parties. Standard storage cover provides a sensible level of protection for most clients, but we recommend you tell us about any unusually high-value items so we can advise appropriately. We also encourage you to keep your own home or business insurance in place for added peace of mind.

What is included in your storage service?

Our core storage service includes professional collection from your property, loading and transport by our trained team, placement of your goods into secure storage, and redelivery to your chosen address when required. We supply moving blankets and standard protective materials for furniture. Additional services, such as full packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, or extra packing supplies, can be added to suit your needs. Everything included is listed clearly in your quotation before you book.

How is this different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without formal insurance, proper packing, or secure storage facilities. Our service is a structured, professional operation with trained teams, documented processes, and fully insured handling of your belongings. We provide secure, monitored storage rather than ad hoc garages or lock-ups, and we take responsibility for your items throughout the process. The result is a more reliable, accountable service with a far lower risk of damage or loss.

How far in advance should I book storage?

Where possible, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives us time to schedule your collection at a convenient time and ensure the right storage space is reserved. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice. Even if your dates are uncertain, it is worth getting in touch early so we can discuss options and pencil you into the diary.
