Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are moving house, staging a property for sale, or carrying out major works, we can remove and store key furniture items so you can keep the house clear and protected. When you are ready, we deliver everything back to your new or refurbished home.
Renters
Short-term let ending? Moving between rentals? We offer flexible, rolling storage so you are not forced to rush decisions or part with good-quality furniture. We can collect on moving day and hold items until your new tenancy begins.
Landlords
For landlords in Ickenham, we provide storage when you are switching between furnished and unfurnished lets, refurbishing, or replacing worn furniture. We can store existing items, bring selected pieces back, and dispose of anything you no longer need on request.
Businesses
Offices, shops and other businesses often need temporary office furniture storage during refits, relocations or seasonal changes. We store desks, chairs, filing cabinets, display units and more, with organised inventories so you know exactly what is held and where.
Students
Students coming home for holidays or placements often need a safe place for beds, desks and other furnishings. We provide cost-effective shared storage options and can align collection and delivery dates with term times to keep it simple.
What We Can Store
We handle most types of household and commercial furniture, including:
- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
- Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
- Office desks, chairs, cabinets and shelving
- Bookshelves, coffee tables and TV units
- Flat-packed or disassembled furniture
- Outdoor furniture (properly dried and prepared)

- Perishable goods, food and plants
- Flammable, hazardous or corrosive materials (e.g. paints, fuels, gas bottles)
- Illegal goods or items of unknown origin
- Cash, jewellery and high-value personal documents
- Animals or any living creatures
- Unboxed small fragile items without agreed packing
If you are unsure whether something is suitable for storage, just ask and we will advise.
Our Step-by-Step Furniture Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online and tell us what furniture you need to store, your dates and location. We will ask a few questions to understand access, volume and any special requirements, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining collection, storage and redelivery costs.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger jobs or full-property clearances, we recommend a short survey. This can often be done virtually via video call or photos, but we can also visit in person where needed. The survey allows us to estimate space accurately, plan protection materials and allocate the right size team and vehicle.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the day, our trained team arrives with all necessary materials. We carefully wrap sofas, mattresses and delicate surfaces using covers and padding. Flat-pack items can be disassembled if required. We label pieces clearly, note any existing marks, and create an inventory so you know exactly what is in storage.
4. Loading & Transport
Your furniture is carried out using trolleys, blankets and straps to avoid damage to both items and property. Everything is loaded securely into our vehicles and transported directly to our storage facility. Goods are covered by our Goods in Transit insurance while on the move.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the facility, we unload, check items against the inventory, and place them in your allocated unit or container. Furniture is stored off the floor, with heavier pieces at the bottom and fragile parts protected. When you are ready for redelivery, we reverse the process and place items in the rooms you specify.
Transparent Furniture Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will typically be made up of:
- Collection charge – based on location, access and volume
- Storage charge – usually a weekly or monthly rate per unit or per volume
- Redelivery charge – similar structure to collection costs
There are no hidden fees for standard access, and we will explain any optional extras such as packing materials, specialist protection or out-of-hours work before you book. Longer-term storage and larger volumes may qualify for discounted rates.
Why Choose Professional Furniture Storage Over DIY
It can be tempting to rent a unit and move furniture yourself, or use a casual man-and-van. In practice, this often leads to damage, unnecessary stress and multiple trips. Our professional service provides:
- Correct lifting, disassembly and reassembly techniques
- Purpose-made covers and protection materials
- Appropriate vehicles with securing systems
- Insurance-backed protection for your goods
- Experienced planning to avoid delays and access issues
By using a specialist furniture storage company, you reduce the risk of injury, protect the value of your belongings and free up your own time.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to clear professional standards so you know your furniture is in safe hands. As standard, we provide:
- Goods in Transit insurance – covering your items while being transported
- Public Liability cover – protecting you and your property during our work
- Trained moving teams – experienced staff, regularly briefed on safety and handling
We are happy to discuss the level of cover in detail and, where necessary, can advise on additional insurance for particularly high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every piece of furniture as if it were our own. Surfaces are wrapped, edges are protected and loads are secured to minimise movement. Where possible, we reuse sturdy packing materials, choose recyclable products and plan efficient routes to cut unnecessary mileage.
For items at the end of their life, we can arrange responsible disposal or recycling, helping you clear space without sending everything straight to landfill.
Real-World Furniture Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Chains do not always line up neatly. We regularly store full households of furniture between completion dates, ensuring everything is safely held until keys are available for the new property.
Office Relocations and Refits
Businesses often need to empty premises quickly or create clear space for contractors. We can remove and store office furniture, then return it in phases as your project progresses.
Urgent or Same-Week Moves
Leases fall through, completion dates change and emergencies happen. We do our best to accommodate short-notice storage requirements in Ickenham, providing rapid collections where we have capacity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Ickenham cost?
The cost depends on three main factors: how much furniture you have, how long you need storage for, and how easy access is at your property. We usually charge a one-off fee for collection and redelivery, plus a weekly or monthly storage rate based on the volume of items stored. To keep costs fair, we tailor quotes to your exact requirements rather than using one-size-fits-all pricing. Contact us with a rough list or photos of your furniture and we will provide a clear, itemised estimate.
Can you provide same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where our schedule allows, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice collections in Ickenham and nearby areas. Availability will depend on existing bookings, the size of your job and how far our teams need to travel. If you are in a tight spot, call us as early as possible with details of what needs storing and any deadlines you are working to. We will check our diary, propose the earliest slot we can offer, and if needed suggest practical interim options until full storage can be arranged.
Is my furniture insured while in storage and during transport?
Yes. Your furniture is protected by our Goods in Transit insurance while being moved between your property and the storage facility, and by our standard cover while in our care. We also hold Public Liability insurance for work carried out on-site at your home or business. There are, however, reasonable limits and exclusions, particularly for unusually high-value or delicate items. We will explain these when you book and can discuss additional cover or special handling arrangements where appropriate.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
Our standard service includes professional collection from your address, protective wrapping for furniture, transport to our secure facility, organised placement into storage and an inventory of stored items. When you are ready, we arrange redelivery and place furniture into your chosen rooms. Optional extras include full packing of loose items, disassembly and reassembly of complex furniture, and responsible disposal of pieces you no longer need. We outline exactly what is included in your written quote, so you know precisely what to expect on the day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically provides transport only, often without specialist equipment, formal training or insurance suitable for stored goods. Our service is built around careful handling, proper protection and secure storage. We use trained staff, inventory systems, insurance-backed cover and purpose-equipped vehicles. We also plan jobs thoroughly, considering parking, access and time constraints. This reduces the risk of damage and delays, and gives you a single, accountable provider for both the move and the storage period, rather than piecing services together yourself.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
Where possible, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy times such as the end of the month and peak moving seasons. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, reserve the right amount of storage space and allocate the correct size team and vehicle. However, we know that plans can change suddenly. If you have less notice, still get in touch – we will always do our best to find a suitable slot or offer a practical alternative if your preferred date is already fully booked.
