Local Storage Expertise in Putney

Working in Putney and South West London for many years, we know the kinds of storage challenges people face here: small flats, limited on-site parking, tight staircases, and short notice moves. Our local knowledge means we can:

• Plan vehicle access on busy Putney streets
• Organise permits where required
• Recommend the right storage size so you only pay for the space you need
• Schedule collections and returns to work around your building’s rules and time restrictions

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you’re between house moves, decluttering to sell, renovating, or simply need extra room. We can store furniture, white goods, boxes, seasonal items and more, keeping them safe until your new home is ready.

Renters

If your tenancy dates don’t quite line up, or you’re downsizing, we offer flexible storage from a few weeks to many months. We collect directly from your flat or house and return when your new place is available.

Landlords

Landlords in Putney often need temporary storage for furniture during refurbishments or between tenants. We can remove, store and return your items, helping you turn properties around quickly and efficiently.

Businesses

Our storage is ideal for office furniture, documents, equipment and stock. Whether you’re refurbishing, relocating, or just running out of space, we offer scalable solutions with professional handling and clear item labelling for easy retrieval.

Students

Students at local universities and colleges can use our storage between terms or while going home for the summer. We collect from halls or shared houses, store your belongings securely, and deliver them back at the start of term.

What We Can and Can’t Store

Items Commonly Stored

• Household furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges (defrosted), microwaves
• Boxes of clothes, books, kitchenware and personal effects
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment
• Retail stock, marketing materials and archives
• Bikes, sports equipment and seasonal items such as Christmas decorations

Items We Cannot Store

For safety and legal reasons, we are unable to store:

• Perishable or frozen foods
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (e.g. fuel, gas bottles, paint thinners)
• Illegal goods or items of unknown origin
• Live animals or plants
• Cash, high-value jewellery or important financial documents (these are better kept in a safe or bank)

If you’re unsure whether an item is suitable for storage, simply ask and we’ll advise.

How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with a list of items or a rough idea of what you need stored and for how long. We’ll ask a few questions about access, volume and timing, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and eventual redelivery.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger storage jobs, we may carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This helps us confirm the right storage size, number of movers and vehicle type. It ensures the quote is accurate and avoids surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our team uses quality materials such as double-walled boxes, bubble wrap and furniture blankets. We label items clearly, so we can place everything into storage in an organised way and find it easily later.

4. Loading & Transport

On collection day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and walls where needed, and carefully loads your possessions into our vehicle. Everything is secured for transport to our facility. Our vehicles are covered by goods in transit insurance for added peace of mind.

5. Storage, Unloading & Placement

At the storage facility, your items are unloaded into a clean, dry, secure unit. We stack and arrange goods to maximise space and minimise any risk of damage. When you’re ready for your belongings back, we schedule a redelivery, unload and place everything into the rooms you choose.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will normally include:

• Collection from your Putney address
• Labour for loading and unloading
• Weekly or monthly storage charges based on volume
• Redelivery at the end of your storage term

Pricing depends on how much you’re storing, access conditions, and distance for collection and redelivery. We’ll explain all costs in writing before you book, so you can budget with confidence.

Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY?

Many people consider hiring a casual van or using a cheap, bare-bones unit. In our experience, this often leads to poorly packed items, damage in transit, or unsuitable storage conditions. With us, you get:

• A trained removals team who know how to protect furniture and fragile items
• Fully insured transport and handling
• Correct lifting techniques, reducing the risk of injury
• Advice on the right storage size and duration
• End-to-end management instead of multiple separate bookings

This level of care usually saves time, stress and, over the full duration, often money compared with piecing things together yourself.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance while items are being moved
• Public liability cover for work at your property
• Trained, experienced staff following established handling procedures

We work to recognised removals best practices, from careful wrapping and stacking to accurate inventories where required. If you have high-value or delicate items, tell us in advance so we can plan extra protection.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We look after your possessions as if they were our own. That means:

• Using clean, dry, ventilated storage units
• Protecting furniture with blankets, covers and padding
• Keeping boxes stacked correctly to avoid crushing

We also aim to work responsibly. Where possible, we reuse sturdy packing materials, recycle cardboard and minimise unnecessary journeys. By planning collections and deliveries efficiently, we help reduce our environmental impact while still providing a reliable service.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

When completion dates don’t align, storage becomes essential. We regularly help Putney families move out on one date, store everything safely, then deliver to the new property when the keys are ready – whether that’s a few days or a few months later.

Office Relocation and Refurbishment

Businesses often need to decant furniture and equipment during an office move or refurbishment. We can clear your existing space, store everything securely, and then reinstall it at your new or refurbished office on schedule, minimising downtime.

Urgent and Short-Notice Storage

Life doesn’t always give much warning. If you’re facing an urgent move-out date, sudden change in tenancy, or last-minute renovation, we do our best to provide fast, flexible storage options. Where capacity allows, we can often arrange collection at short notice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Putney cost?

Costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you need it for, and the work involved in collection and redelivery. We typically charge a fixed fee for collection and loading, a weekly or monthly rate for the storage itself, and a separate fee for final delivery. During your enquiry, we’ll help estimate the volume of your goods so you don’t overpay for unused space. All pricing is itemised and confirmed in writing before you commit, with no hidden extras.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

Where capacity and scheduling allow, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage in Putney. This is particularly useful if a sale completes unexpectedly quickly, a tenancy ends sooner than planned, or building works overrun. The sooner you contact us, the better the chance we can help. We’ll check availability of our professional team and vehicles, discuss what you need to store, and give you a clear quote and realistic time window for collection.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Yes. Your items are covered by goods in transit insurance while being moved and our public liability cover protects work at your property. Standard storage cover is included for typical household and office contents. If you have particularly high-value or unusual items, we recommend discussing them with us in advance so we can confirm appropriate cover or suggest additional insurance where needed. We also focus on reducing risk through proper packing, careful handling and secure, well-maintained facilities.

What’s included in your storage service?

Our storage service can be as comprehensive as you need. As standard, we offer professional collection, loading, transport to our facility, secure storage, and redelivery at the end of your term. We can also provide packing materials and a professional packing service if you’d rather we handle everything. On redelivery, we place furniture and boxes in the rooms you choose, so you can settle back in quickly. Your quote will clearly outline what is and isn’t included, and we’re happy to tailor the service.

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

A casual man-and-van typically offers simple transport only, with limited or no insurance and minimal planning. Our service is a full removals and storage solution, delivered by trained staff using proper equipment and protective materials. We provide structured quotes, documented terms, fully insured transport and handling, and organised placement into secure storage. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings. You’re not just hiring a van; you’re engaging a dedicated team that manages the entire process professionally from start to finish.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of dates and to keep costs predictable, we recommend booking storage at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. That said, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate last-minute requests where possible. Even if your dates aren’t fixed, it’s worth getting in touch early so we can advise on options, estimate costs, and pencil in provisional arrangements that can be adjusted if needed.
