Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you’re selling, renovating or simply creating space, we can carefully remove, protect and store your furniture so it’s out of the way, but ready to come back the moment you need it. Ideal for new flooring, decorating or staging your property for sale.
Renters
Moving between rentals, relocating abroad for a period or downsizing? Our flexible storage plans mean you can keep your belongings without committing to a bigger property. We can collect from your flat, store for as long as you need, then deliver to your new address.
Landlords
We help landlords and agents who need to clear or rotate furnished properties, store furniture between tenancies, or remove items temporarily during refurbishments. Our team can dismantle, label and store full property contents, ready for future use.
Businesses
Office move, refurbishment or seasonal stock? We provide business furniture storage for desks, chairs, filing cabinets, shelving, reception furniture and more. We can also keep archive boxes and surplus equipment in clearly labelled, inventoried storage.
Students
Students moving out of halls or shared houses for the holidays can avoid dragging furniture and belongings home. We offer cost-effective shared storage solutions for beds, desks, chairs and boxes, with timed collections and returns around term dates.
What We Can Store
We handle most household and office furniture, including:
- Sofas, armchairs and footstools
- Beds, mattresses and bedroom furniture
- Wardrobes, chests of drawers and bookcases
- Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
- Office desks, chairs and storage units
- TV units, coffee tables and occasional furniture
- Garden furniture (properly cleaned and dry)
- Decorative items such as mirrors and lamps
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot store:
- Perishable or open food and drink
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials
- Compressed gas bottles or fuel containers
- Illegal goods or items of unknown origin
- Live animals or plants
- Unprotected paints, solvents or chemicals
- Cash, jewellery or high-value personal documents (these are better in a safe or bank)
If you are unsure about a specific item, we’ll advise you honestly before collection.
How Our Furniture Storage Service Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a brief description of what you need to store and how long for. We’ll ask a few questions about access, property type and volume. Based on this, we’ll give you a clear, no-obligation estimate for collection, storage and eventual return.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger jobs or whole-home contents, we’ll carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This lets us assess volumes, any access challenges, and whether dismantling is required. Accurate surveys mean the right vehicle, the right team size and no surprise costs on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, our trained team arrive with protective materials. We:
- Disassemble furniture where needed
- Wrap items with removal blankets and export wrap
- Protect delicate surfaces and glass
- Label each item and any component parts clearly
We can also provide professional packing for boxes if you’re storing smaller items alongside your furniture.
4. Loading & Transport
Your furniture is loaded carefully onto our purpose-built vehicles, secured to prevent movement and damage in transit. Our experienced drivers know Tulse Hill’s roads well, minimising delays and navigating tight streets and parking restrictions with care.
5. Storage, Unloading & Placement
At our secure storage facility, we unload and place your items in a clean, dry, monitored unit. Each consignment is logged and referenced. When you’re ready, simply book a return delivery date – we’ll load your items back onto our vehicle and place them in the right rooms at your new or existing property.
Transparent Furniture Storage Pricing
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Your quote will typically include:
- Collection from your property
- Protective wrapping and basic dismantling
- Weekly or monthly storage charges based on volume
- Redelivery to your chosen address
Costs depend on the volume of furniture, access (stairs, lifts, parking), distance for transport and storage duration. There are no hidden charges – any extra services, such as full packing or complex dismantling, are clearly listed in writing before you book.
Why Use Professional Furniture Storage Instead of DIY?
Using a professional removals and storage company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van:
- Proper protection – professional-grade wrapping and handling to minimise damage.
- Insurance cover – your items are protected under our policies while in our care.
- Experienced teams – trained staff who move furniture every day, reducing the risk of accidents.
- Time-saving – we handle the heavy lifting, planning and logistics.
- Accountability – a registered local business, not a one-off ad-hoc service.
DIY storage often leads to poorly stacked units, inadequate protection and no cover if something goes wrong. With Storage Tulse Hill, you know exactly who is responsible for your belongings at every stage.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your furniture is handled and stored under clear, professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your items while they are being moved between locations.
- Public liability cover – safeguarding you and your property during collection and delivery.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in safe lifting, dismantling and loading techniques.
We treat your furniture as if it were our own, with documented processes for inventory, handling and security. Policy details and limits are available on request so you know exactly where you stand.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We pay close attention to how we care for both your furniture and the environment:
- Use of reusable furniture blankets and durable protective materials
- Thoughtful stacking to prevent pressure damage and warping
- Dry, well-ventilated units to reduce any risk of damp
- Recycling or reusing packing materials where practical
- Route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions
Where possible, we also help clients donate or responsibly dispose of unwanted items, reducing waste and unnecessary storage costs.
Real-World Furniture Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Completion dates don’t always line up. We regularly store full households of furniture between sale and purchase, keeping everything together and protected until keys are exchanged at the new property.
Office Relocations and Refits
Businesses undergoing refurbishment or relocation use us to hold desks, meeting room tables and reception furniture while builders work or new premises are fitted out. We can phase deliveries to suit your project schedule.
Urgent or Same-Week Moves
Sometimes you have to be out quickly – landlord changes, emergency repairs or short-notice completions. Subject to availability, we can arrange rapid collection and storage, often within the same week, and in some cases on the same day.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Tulse Hill cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space your furniture occupies, the access at your property and how long you need storage. We usually price by volume (cubic feet or metres) with a weekly or monthly rate, plus collection and final redelivery. Smaller loads for a short period are often more affordable than people expect. After a brief discussion or survey, we’ll provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you’ll pay before you commit.
Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice collections for urgent situations, such as last-minute move dates or emergency repairs. Availability will depend on existing bookings, vehicle capacity and the size of your job. The earlier you call, the easier it is to accommodate you, but we’ll always be honest about what we can realistically do and suggest practical alternatives if same-day isn’t possible.
Are my stored items insured?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved and by our storage cover while held in our facility, subject to policy terms and value limits. We’ll explain the key points, including any exclusions and how to declare high-value items if needed. Our public liability insurance also protects you and your property during collection and delivery. We’re happy to provide copies of our insurance details on request.
What’s included in your furniture storage service?
Our standard service includes collection from your property, protective wrapping of furniture, safe loading, transport to our secure facility, storage for the agreed period and redelivery to your chosen address. Basic dismantling and reassembly of standard furniture is usually included. Additional services, such as full packing of boxes, disposal of unwanted items or out-of-hours work, can be added as needed and clearly itemised in your quote.
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 dedicated storage facility and often minimal insurance. We provide a complete, professionally managed service: trained staff, proper materials, documented inventory, secure monitored storage and clear insurance cover. We’re also accountable as a local business, with standards, processes and long-term customers, rather than one-off cash jobs.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
Where possible, we recommend booking 1–3 weeks in advance, especially during busy times such as the end of the month or school holidays. This gives us time to carry out any necessary survey, plan access and allocate the right team and vehicle. However, we understand that dates can change or crop up at short notice, so we always do our best to accommodate last-minute bookings when capacity allows. It’s always worth asking, even if your timescale is tight.
