Who Our Household Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Store furniture, appliances, seasonal items and personal possessions while you move house, renovate, extend or stage your property for sale. We can collect from your door, store securely, then redeliver when you are ready.
Renters
Ideal for tenants between lets, moving in with a partner, or relocating for work. Keep your belongings safe without committing to a larger, more expensive rental property just for extra space.
Landlords
Use our household storage for part-furnished or fully furnished lets, student properties and HMOs. We can hold furniture between tenancies, during refurbishments, or when changing from furnished to unfurnished agreements.
Businesses
Our units are perfect for business storage of office furniture, archived files, marketing materials and surplus equipment. Many local companies use us when relocating, refurbishing or downsizing their premises.
Students
Students in and around New Addington can store their belongings during the summer or placement years instead of moving everything back and forth. We offer small, cost-effective spaces ideal for personal items, books, clothes and small furniture.

How Our Household Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact our New Addington office by phone or online and tell us what you need to store, for how long, and whether you require collection and redelivery. We will provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume, services required and time period.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger households or mixed items, we usually carry out a short survey. This can be done by video call or an onsite visit. The survey allows us to measure volume accurately, plan access, and recommend the right size unit so you do not pay for unused space.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or choose our professional packing service. Our trained team use quality packing materials, including cartons, export wrap, padded covers and mattress protectors. We label everything clearly so items are easy to locate when you need them again.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
On collection day, our removals crew arrive at the agreed time, protect floors and doorways, and carefully load your items into our vehicles. Each item is itemised or labelled, then transported to our secure New Addington storage facility under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Storage Placement
At the facility, everything is unloaded into your allocated unit. Furniture is stacked safely, boxes are arranged logically, and fragile or special-care items are positioned to avoid damage. When you are ready for redelivery, we reverse the process and place items into the correct rooms at your new or existing address.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote will typically include:
- Collection and loading (if requested)
- Weekly or monthly storage charges based on unit size
- Optional packing service and packing materials
- Redelivery and unloading to your chosen address
Costs depend on how much space you need, how long you store for, access requirements and any additional services. We always look for the most efficient unit size so you are not overpaying for empty space, and we explain all charges clearly in advance.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using a professional storage and removals company in New Addington offers several advantages over arranging everything yourself or hiring an unregulated man-and-van:
- Trained staff who know how to protect and stack furniture and boxes safely
- Purpose-built, secure storage with proper access controls and monitoring
- Goods in transit insurance while your belongings are being moved
- Documented inventories and clear labelling, avoiding lost or damaged items
- Reliable timings and communication, backed by an established local company
DIY storage often ends up more stressful and can work out more expensive once you factor in van hire, fuel, multiple trips and the risk of damage.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a specialist removals and storage company, we work to high professional standards and carry appropriate insurance for your peace of mind:
- Goods in transit insurance while we move your possessions to and from storage
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property during our work
- Trained, uniformed moving teams following agreed handling procedures
We are meticulous about inventories, condition checks where necessary, and using the right protection for different types of items. If you have particularly high-value or delicate belongings, we can discuss extra cover and specialist packing.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your possessions are treated as if they were our own. We use padded furniture covers, mattress protectors, export wrap and sturdy cartons to minimise the risk of damage in transit and during storage. Boxes are stacked sensibly, heavy items at the bottom, and fragile items kept away from pressure points.
We are also conscious of sustainability. Where possible we reuse high-quality packing materials, offer rental of reusable crates, and recycle cardboard and plastics through approved local schemes. Efficient route planning and vehicle loading help reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions around New Addington.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does household storage in New Addington cost?
Costs depend mainly on the amount of space you need, how long you store for, and whether you require collection, packing and redelivery. Smaller units for a few boxes and items of furniture are naturally cheaper than full household storage. We price per week or per month, with discounts sometimes available for longer-term bookings. After a quick discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote showing storage fees, collection and delivery charges, and any optional services so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where capacity and scheduling allow, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage for New Addington customers. If you have an urgent move, an unexpected completion date, or need to clear a property quickly, call us as early as possible. We will check available units, vehicle slots and crew availability, then confirm what we can offer. While advance booking is always best, we understand that emergencies happen and will do our best to provide a safe, practical solution at short notice.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from the storage facility, and our public liability cover protects you during handling at your property. For the storage period itself, we can either extend cover under our policy within agreed limits or work with your own home insurer if they prefer to provide the protection. We will explain the options, limits and any exclusions clearly so you can decide on the right level of cover for your circumstances and the value of your belongings.
What is included in your household storage service?
At the most basic level, we provide a clean, secure storage unit in our New Addington facility for as long as you need it. Most customers also choose collection and redelivery, carried out by our professional, trained removals team using protective covers and proper lifting techniques. We can add a full or partial packing service, supply packing materials, and prepare a simple inventory of stored items. You only pay for the services you actually need, and we will outline exactly what is included in your quote before you commit.
How is this different from a man-and-van with a lock-up?
A casual man-and-van arrangement usually means limited or no insurance, unknown storage conditions, and no real accountability if something goes wrong. With a specialist removals and storage firm, you benefit from secure, managed facilities, documented procedures, and properly insured, professional staff. We use appropriate packing materials, protect your property, and handle items according to industry standards. You also get clear contracts and paperwork so you know where your belongings are, how they are protected, and who is responsible for them at every stage.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For planned moves, we recommend booking your household storage at least two to four weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as the summer and month-end. This gives us time to carry out a survey if required, arrange packing materials, and reserve the right size unit and vehicle slots. That said, we regularly help customers on shorter timescales, and we will always try to find a solution, even at short notice. The earlier you contact us, the more choice and flexibility we can offer.
