Whether you are between homes, renovating, downsizing or clearing an office, we collect, store and return your items with care.

Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, buying or renovating, furniture often needs to come out temporarily. We collect from your home, wrap and protect your pieces, and place them into secure storage until you are ready for redelivery.
Renters
Ending a tenancy, relocating for work or heading abroad? Our furniture storage lets you keep your belongings safe without paying rent on an empty property. We can collect on your move-out day and deliver to your next address when you return.
Landlords
Landlords use our storage when changing between furnished and unfurnished lets, during refurbishments, or when clearing properties after tenants. We offer flexible short- and long-term options and clear, itemised inventories.
Businesses
Offices, shops and other businesses use our storage during relocations, refits and seasonal changes. We store desks, chairs, reception furniture and archive furniture, with options to combine storage and office relocation services for a single, coordinated plan.
Students
Students moving between term-time and home addresses can store beds, desks, wardrobes and other bulky items over the holidays, avoiding the cost and hassle of moving everything back and forth.

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you clearly before collection.
How Our Furniture Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a brief description of what you need to store and your timescales. We will ask a few questions about the size of your property, access and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote for collection, storage and redelivery.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger jobs or where access is tight, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess parking, stairs or lifts, doorway sizes and any dismantling requirements. It also helps us calculate the most cost-effective storage volume for you.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed day, our trained team arrives with protective materials. We can provide a full packing service or simply wrap and protect the furniture you are storing. Items are covered with export-grade blankets, mattress bags and shrink wrap where appropriate. Glass and delicate surfaces are given extra protection.
4. Loading & Transport
Your furniture is carefully carried, loaded and secured in our purpose-equipped vehicles. We work methodically to minimise the risk of knocks and scratches, especially in tight hallways and stairwells. During transit, your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance for added reassurance.
5. Unloading & Storage Placement
On arrival at our storage facility, items are checked, inventoried and placed into clean, dry storage units or containers. Everything is stacked to protect structural integrity and avoid pressure points. When you are ready, we reverse the process and deliver your furniture back to your chosen address, placing each item into the correct room.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing with no hidden extras. Your overall cost is based on three main factors:
- Volume of furniture (how much space you need in storage)
- Collection and redelivery distance from New Malden
- Any additional services such as packing or dismantling
Storage is typically charged weekly or monthly, with discounts often available for longer-term commitments. All costs are explained clearly in writing before you book. If your requirements change, we are honest about any impact on price and will always try to find the most economical solution.
Why Choose Professional Furniture Storage Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Using a casual man-and-van or trying to store furniture yourself may appear cheaper, but it often leads to damage, inconvenience and unexpected costs. Our professional service offers:
- Trained teams who know how to move and protect heavy and delicate furniture
- Fully insured cover, including goods in transit and public liability
- Purpose-equipped vehicles and high-quality protective materials
- Properly managed, dry and secure storage facilities
- Clear communication, confirmed timings and written documentation
For valuable or sentimental items, professional handling provides long-term peace of mind that far outweighs the small saving of doing it yourself.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a responsible removals and storage company, we maintain comprehensive insurance and follow industry best practice to safeguard your belongings and your property.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your furniture while it is being moved between your address and our storage facility.
- Public liability cover – protects you in the unlikely event of accidental damage to your property or third parties during our work.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in handling bulky, heavy and fragile items safely, reducing risk to your furniture and to themselves.
We work to professional standards for wrapping, stacking and storage, and we are happy to explain how we protect each type of item if you would like more detail.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take pride in looking after both your furniture and the environment. Our approach includes:
- Using reusable protective blankets and crates wherever possible
- Recycling packaging materials responsibly
- Planning efficient routes from New Malden to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Encouraging repair and reuse of furniture rather than disposal
Your furniture is always handled as if it were our own. Corners, edges and delicate fabrics are protected, and items are stored off the ground in clean, dry conditions to prevent moisture and dust damage.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House
Completion dates rarely line up perfectly. Many New Malden customers use our furniture storage as a buffer when they must move out before their new home is ready. We collect everything, store it securely, and then deliver on your new completion date.
Office Relocation
Businesses relocating locally or into London often need a phased move. We can store surplus furniture while you decide what is needed in the new space, avoiding clutter and giving you time to plan properly.
Urgent or Same-Week Moves
Tenancies ending unexpectedly, last-minute renovations or flood and fire damage can mean you need storage at very short notice. Where availability allows, we can arrange rapid collection from New Malden and place your furniture straight into secure storage, giving you breathing space to sort out the next steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in New Malden cost?
Costs depend mainly on the volume of furniture, how long you need storage for and whether you require collection and redelivery. Smaller loads stored short-term will naturally cost less than full household contents stored for several months. We typically charge a collection fee, a weekly or monthly storage rate and a redelivery fee. All prices are confirmed in a written quote before you book, with no hidden extras. Contact us with a rough list of items and we will happily provide an estimated cost.
Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where our schedule and storage capacity allow, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice furniture collection in and around New Malden. This is particularly useful if a tenancy ends suddenly, a sale completes faster than expected, or you experience an emergency such as a leak. The more detail you can provide when you call, the more quickly we can confirm availability and pricing. While we cannot guarantee same-day slots every time, we always do our best to help in urgent situations.
Is my furniture insured while in storage?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by goods in transit insurance while we are moving it and by our storage cover once it is in our facility, subject to standard terms and conditions. This is in addition to our public liability cover. We will explain the key points of our insurance, including any limits and exclusions, before you book. If you have particularly high-value items, you may also wish to notify your own insurer so they can note that your belongings are in professional storage.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
Our standard service includes collection by a professional team, protective wrapping of furniture, transport to our storage facility, secure storage in a clean, dry unit or container, and redelivery to your chosen address when you are ready. You can add services such as full packing, dismantling and reassembly of large items, and disposal of unwanted pieces by prior arrangement. We provide a clear breakdown of what is and is not included with every quote, so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van typically offers transport only, with limited or no insurance, minimal protection and no managed storage. We provide trained staff, purpose-equipped vehicles, proper protective materials, fully insured handling and professionally managed storage facilities. We also offer surveys, written quotes and clear documentation. This reduces the risk of damage, missed appointments and disputes. For valuable furniture or anything stored longer term, a professional removals and storage company offers a far higher level of security and accountability.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
If possible, we recommend booking one to three weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives us time to conduct a survey if needed and to reserve space in our New Malden storage facility. That said, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we will have in terms of dates, times and pricing.
