How Our Storage Process Works
We keep the process simple and transparent, with a clear structure from start to finish.
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with details of what you need to store, where from, and for roughly how long. We ask a few practical questions, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery charges.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves into storage, we arrange a short video survey or an onsite visit. This lets us assess access, volumes and any special requirements, ensuring we send the right team, vehicle and materials and that your quote is accurate and fair.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or choose our full packing service. Our trained staff use quality materials to protect fragile items, furniture and electronics. Everything is labelled clearly so we can locate and return individual items or sections later if needed.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
On collection day, our removals team carefully loads your belongings, protecting doors, floors and banisters as required. Items are then transported in our fully insured vehicles to our chosen storage facility, where they are inventoried and placed securely.
5. Unloading, Storage & Final Redelivery
At the storage facility, your goods are unloaded, stacked safely and kept in a clean, dry and secure unit. When you are ready, simply book your redelivery. We then collect your items from storage and bring them to your new address, placing furniture and boxes into the rooms you choose.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We base our storage prices on:
- The volume of goods stored (measured in cubic feet or metres)
- The duration of storage
- Collection and redelivery distance and access
- Any packing or special handling required
You receive a clear written quotation showing:
- Collection cost
- Weekly or monthly storage rate
- Estimated redelivery cost
There are no hidden fees for basic handling or standard access. Any extra services, such as additional packing or partial redeliveries, are agreed in advance so you are always in control of costs.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Using a professional storage and removals company is about more than convenience. It is about risk, protection and reliability.
- Proper handling – Our staff are trained in lifting, wrapping and loading to prevent avoidable damage.
- Insurance – Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance and protected in storage, unlike many casual operators.
- Inventory and labelling – Structured labelling means you can find what you need and request part-deliveries.
- Reliability – Confirmed booking times and written terms, rather than uncertain arrangements.
While DIY or man-and-van might seem cheaper initially, damage, lost items or access issues can quickly wipe out any saving.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to professional standards at every stage.
- Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your belongings while they are being moved to and from storage.
- Public liability cover – Protection for you and your property while our team is working on-site.
- Trained moving teams – Experienced staff, familiar with handling everything from delicate antiques to bulky office furniture.
We are always happy to explain our insurance in plain language and can adjust cover for particularly high-value or unusual items where required.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Good storage is about long-term care, not just stacking boxes. We use padded covers, blankets and reputable packing materials to protect your furniture and fragile items. Where possible, we reuse strong cartons, recycle damaged materials and minimise waste.
Our aim is to keep your belongings clean, dry and safe while also making sensible choices about packaging and vehicle usage to reduce unnecessary journeys and materials.
Real-World Storage Use Cases in Harringay
- Moving house – Store your entire household between completion dates or during a chain delay.
- Office relocation – Temporarily hold non-essential stock, archives or surplus furniture during a phased move.
- Renovations and extensions – Clear rooms for builders so work can proceed safely and on schedule.
- Urgent moves – If you need to vacate quickly, we can collect, store and then deliver to your new property when ready.
- Student changes – Keep belongings safe over summer or while you change accommodation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage in Harringay cost?
Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need and for how long. We measure volume either during a survey or from a clear item list, then calculate a weekly or monthly rate. On top of that, there is a collection cost and an eventual redelivery cost. We provide everything in a written quote so you can see the full picture before you commit. There are no hidden fees for standard access or basic handling, and we will always suggest ways to keep volumes – and therefore costs – sensible.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where our schedule allows, we can arrange urgent or short-notice collections into storage, including same-day in Harringay and nearby areas. This is particularly useful if a sale completes unexpectedly, a tenancy ends suddenly or building work is brought forward. Availability depends on crew and vehicle capacity, so the earlier you contact us, the better. Even for last-minute moves, we still follow a structured process: quick assessment, clear pricing and written confirmation so you know exactly what is happening and when.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from storage, and covered under our storage arrangements while held in the unit. We also carry public liability cover for work at your property. Standard cover is suitable for most customers, but if you have particularly high-value items we can discuss additional protection or special handling. We are happy to go through the policy limits and conditions in plain English so you can be confident your possessions are appropriately covered.
What is included in your storage service?
Our storage service includes professional collection from your property, careful loading and transport, secure storage in a clean and dry unit, and redelivery when you are ready. You can add optional services such as packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, or partial redeliveries if you only need some items back at a time. We provide an inventory, use protective materials where needed, and place items into the rooms you choose on redelivery. The aim is to give you a complete door-to-door solution rather than just a bare unit.
How is your service different from a man-and-van or DIY storage?
With us, you get trained staff, proper equipment, and structured protection and insurance you usually will not find with casual man-and-van services. We manage the entire process, from survey and packing to storage and final delivery, including inventories and clear labelling. DIY storage often means multiple trips, poor stacking and a lack of cover if something is damaged. Our approach reduces the risk of loss and breakage, saves you time and physical effort, and gives you clear accountability throughout.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For the best choice of dates and calm planning, we recommend booking storage at least one to two weeks in advance, especially for busy periods such as month-end and summer. That said, we regularly accommodate shorter notice moves, and in some cases can offer next-day or same-day solutions. As soon as you know you might need storage, get in touch. We can provide provisional quotes, hold tentative dates where possible and advise you on packing and preparation so you are ready when plans firm up.
