At Movers Roehampton, we provide secure, flexible storage solutions designed around how you actually live and work. Whether you need a few weeks between moves or a long-term extension to your home or office space, our professional, fully insured storage service keeps your belongings safe, organised and easy to access.

Local Storage Expertise in Roehampton

Based in Roehampton and working across South West London, we understand the pressures of city living: limited space, tight move dates and parking restrictions. Our local knowledge means:

• Easy collection and delivery throughout Roehampton and surrounding areas
• Careful route planning to avoid delays and congestion
• Practical advice on what to store, what to move, and when
• Flexible timings that work around school runs, work and access hours

Because we’re a removals company first and foremost, storage isn’t an afterthought – it’s integrated into a smooth move and storage plan.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Our Roehampton storage is suitable for a wide range of clients and situations, including:

Homeowners

Ideal if you’re in a property chain, renovating, downsizing or simply decluttering before a sale. We can store complete household contents or just selected rooms, keeping items protected until your new home is ready.

Renters

Perfect for gaps between tenancies, moving in with a partner, or if your new place is smaller. We offer flexible short-term storage with clear pricing so you only pay for the space and time you actually need.

Landlords

We help landlords store furniture between lets, or while refurbishing a property. Our team can collect, store and then redeliver to suit new tenancy start dates, keeping the process straightforward and predictable.

Businesses

From documents and stock to office furniture and equipment, we provide secure commercial storage with professional handling and inventory options. Ideal for office refurbishments, seasonal stock, events equipment or archive material.

Students

If you’re heading home for the holidays or on a placement, our low-volume, shared storage options are ideal. We can collect from halls or rented rooms in Roehampton, store securely, then deliver back when term starts.

What We Can Store

We can safely store most household and office items, including:

• Household furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
• Boxes of clothes, books, toys, kitchenware and personal items
• Home electronics and small appliances (properly packed)
• Office furniture – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, shelving
• IT equipment, printers and office accessories
• Sports equipment, bikes and hobby items
• Suitcases and storage trunks

What Cannot Be Stored

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our storage service:

• Perishable or open food and drink
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles and paint thinners)
• Illegal items or anything obtained unlawfully
• Live plants, animals or any living creature
• Cash, jewellery, precious metals or high-value collectibles best covered by specialist storage
• Strongly odorous items or anything likely to leak

If you’re unsure about a particular item, we’ll give clear guidance before collection so there are no surprises on the day.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with a brief description of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask a few simple questions about volume, access and timings, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger jobs, we carry out a free survey, either via video call or in person. This lets us assess access, parking, and the volume of items accurately, ensuring we allocate the right vehicle, number of movers and storage space. It also gives you a chance to ask practical questions.

3. Packing & Preparation

Depending on what you prefer, we can:

• Provide full packing services, supplying all materials
• Offer a part-packing service for fragile or high-risk items only
• Or you can pack yourself, and we’ll supply boxes and materials on request

Our team wrap and protect furniture, label items clearly and prepare an inventory for longer-term storage, so everything is easy to locate and return.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

On collection day, our trained crew arrive on time, protect floors and doorways where necessary, and carefully load your items onto our vehicles. Everything is secured for transport and taken directly to our storage facility, avoiding unnecessary handling.

5. Secure Storage, Unloading & Placement

At the facility, your goods are unloaded into clean, dry and secure storage units or containers. Items are stacked safely to avoid damage, and long-term loads are positioned for stability. When you’re ready, we schedule redelivery, unload at your new address and place items in the rooms you specify.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We believe in simple, transparent pricing. Our Roehampton storage costs are based on:

• The volume of items (space required)
• The length of time in storage
• Whether you need packing materials and packing services
• Collection and redelivery locations and access

You’ll receive a clear written quote before you book, showing all charges. There are no hidden fees for basic access or standard handling, and we’ll explain any optional extras in plain language so you can choose what suits your budget.

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

It can be tempting to hire a cheap van and a lock-up, but professional storage has distinct advantages:

• Trained staff who know how to pack, lift and stack safely
• Goods in transit insurance during collection and delivery
• Secure, monitored storage with proper fire and security measures
• Inventoried items, so nothing is misplaced or forgotten
• One point of contact for moving, packing and storage

DIY and casual man-and-van options often lack proper insurance, documentation and accountability. With Movers Roehampton you know exactly who is responsible for your belongings at every stage.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. Our service is built around protecting them properly:

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they’re being moved between your property and the storage facility.
• Public liability cover – protects you and your property while our team are working on-site.
• Trained moving teams – experienced staff trained in safe handling, lifting techniques and correct use of protective materials.

We’ll explain our cover clearly and, if you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss additional protection or specialist handling.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat stored goods with the same care as a full household move. That means appropriate wrapping, padding and stacking, and using quality materials to prevent damage. Where possible, we use reusable protective covers, recycle cardboard and minimise waste. We plan journeys efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage, helping to cut emissions while still meeting your deadlines.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

If completion dates don’t line up, or you’re downsizing and need time to decide what to keep, our storage bridges the gap. We can collect from your current home, store for as long as needed, then deliver direct to your new address when you’re ready.

Office and Business Moves

During refurbishment or relocation, we can hold non-essential furniture, equipment or archive boxes. This keeps your working space clear and reduces disruption, while giving you flexibility on phased fit-outs and staged moves.

Urgent and Same-Week Storage

Sometimes life moves quickly – a last-minute tenancy change, unexpected works, or sudden space issues. Subject to availability, we can often arrange rapid collection and storage in Roehampton, with clear communication so you know exactly what’s happening and when.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Roehampton cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need and for how long. We calculate this based on the volume of your items, usually from a survey or detailed list, then apply a weekly or monthly storage rate. Collection, packing (if required) and redelivery are quoted separately, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. There are no hidden charges for standard access, and we’ll always explain any optional extras, such as packing materials, before you commit.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

In many cases we can arrange same-day or short-notice storage in Roehampton, especially outside of peak moving periods. The more flexibility you have on collection times, the easier it is for us to fit you in. Contact us as soon as you know you need urgent storage and we’ll confirm availability, costs and what we can realistically achieve that day. Even if same-day isn’t possible, we’ll usually be able to offer a prompt, next-available slot.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your home or office and the storage facility. Once in storage, they’re held in a secure, monitored environment that meets strict safety standards. We’ll explain the level of cover included as standard and, if you have unusually high-value items or specific concerns, we can discuss additional protection. It’s also sensible to check your own home or business insurance, as some policies provide extra cover for goods in storage.

What’s included in your storage service?

Our storage service typically includes collection from your address, safe loading by a professional team, transport to our storage facility, secure storage for the agreed period, and redelivery when required. We can add packing, supply of materials and detailed inventory services if needed. You’ll receive a clear breakdown showing which elements are included in your quote. If you prefer to do your own packing and just need collection, storage and later delivery, we can tailor the service accordingly.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van and self-storage?

A basic man-and-van usually just drives the van, leaving you to handle lifting, packing and arranging storage yourself. With Movers Roehampton, you get trained movers, proper protective materials, insurance during transit, and a managed handover into secure storage. We take responsibility for the whole process, not just the driving. You also avoid the hassle of hiring a van, arranging access, and physically moving everything twice – once into storage and again when you take it out.

How far in advance should I book storage?

Ideally, book as early as possible, especially if you’re moving during busy periods such as the end of the month, Fridays or summer. A week or two’s notice usually gives us ample time to arrange surveys, packing materials and scheduling. However, we understand that storage needs can arise suddenly, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice. The sooner you contact us with your dates and rough volume, the more options we can offer and the easier it is to keep costs predictable.
