Who Our Long-Term Storage Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you’re between homes, renovating, downsizing or relocating abroad. Keep furniture, white goods, sentimental items and seasonal belongings safely stored until you’re ready for them again.
Renters
Perfect for those moving between rentals, taking a work contract elsewhere or staying with family temporarily. Store bulky items to avoid repeated moving and potential damage.
Landlords
Use our long-term storage to hold furniture and appliances between tenancies, or to clear a property for refurbishment without risk to your assets.
Businesses
Suitable for document archives, surplus office furniture, exhibition equipment, stock overflows and seasonal items. Our units provide a more economical and flexible alternative to taking on additional commercial space.
Students
Ideal for gap years, placement years or extended travel. Store books, clothing, small furniture and personal items securely while you’re away, without having to move it all home and back again.

How Our Long-Term Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll discuss your situation, likely volume, access issues and timescales, then provide an initial guide price.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger loads, we arrange a free virtual or onsite survey. An experienced surveyor will assess what needs storing, check access, parking and carrying distances, and advise on the most efficient storage option. This allows us to give you a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack yourself or use our professional packing service. We supply quality boxes, wrapping materials and protective covers. For long-term storage we always recommend proper packing to minimise dust, movement and the risk of damage over time.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained moving team will arrive at the agreed time, protect floors and key areas, and carefully load your goods. Items are wrapped, labelled and inventoried where appropriate. Everything is securely transported in our purpose-equipped vehicles under goods in transit insurance.
5. Storage, Unloading & Placement
On arrival at our Enfield facility, your belongings are unloaded into a clearly marked storage unit or container. We stack items safely to protect fragile pieces and ensure efficient use of space. When you’re ready to have items returned, we’ll arrange delivery and place them in the correct rooms at your new address.
Transparent Pricing for Long-Term Storage
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will set out:
- Collection and transport charges
- Weekly or monthly storage rate, based on volume or unit size
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Return delivery charges from storage to your new address
Longer storage periods can attract discounted rates, and business customers storing higher volumes may qualify for tailored pricing. We’ll always explain what is included so you can budget with confidence.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY Options
Using a professional storage and removals company gives you assurances that casual man-and-van services and self-storage alone cannot match:
- Trained teams know how to handle, protect and stack items for long-term safety.
- Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we move them.
- We manage access, parking and timings, reducing stress and delays.
- We provide an inventory on request, essential for businesses and long-term moves.
- Professional packing significantly reduces the chance of damage over time.
DIY moves and informal man-and-van services often lack proper insurance, documentation and handling standards, which can be a costly risk for long-term storage.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, so we back our service with appropriate protection and standards:
- Goods in transit insurance while items are being moved between locations
- Public liability cover for work in your home, office or building
- Trained storage and removals teams following established handling procedures
- Regularly maintained vehicles and secure, monitored storage facilities
We will explain the cover limits clearly and advise if additional insurance is recommended for very high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat stored possessions as if they were our own. Our teams use padded covers, blankets and specialist wrapping to protect furniture and delicate pieces. Units are clean, dry and regularly checked. For long-term stays, good preparation is essential, so we’ll guide you on how best to pack and protect items.
We are also conscious of sustainability. Where possible we use reusable crates, heavy-duty blankets and recyclable packing materials. We plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel usage.
Real-World Uses for Long-Term Storage
- Moving house: Store non-essential items ahead of your move to declutter, then keep surplus furniture safely until you decide what to keep or sell later.
- Office relocation: Use storage to phase your move, keeping surplus desks, files and equipment off-site while you settle into the new space.
- Overseas assignments: If you’re working abroad for a year or more, keep your possessions secure in Enfield until you return.
- Urgent moves: When completion dates change at the last minute, long-term storage provides a reliable safety net.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does long-term storage in Enfield cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the volume of goods, length of stay and whether you require collection and delivery. We typically charge a weekly or monthly rate per unit or per cubic foot, with separate charges for transport and any packing services. Longer commitments can attract discounted rates, especially for business or archive storage. Once we understand what you need to store and for how long, we’ll provide a clear written quote with all charges itemised so you can see exactly what you are paying for and adjust the level of service if required.
Can you handle urgent or same-day storage requests?
Where capacity allows, we can arrange same-day or short-notice collection into storage. This is particularly useful when completion dates move suddenly or tenants need to vacate at short notice. The best option is to call us as soon as you’re aware there is an issue so we can check availability, vehicle schedules and staffing. While we cannot guarantee same-day every time, we will always be honest about what we can do and work to offer the earliest practical solution that keeps your belongings safe.
Are my belongings insured while in long-term storage?
Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we move them to and from our facility. Within storage, we maintain a secure, monitored environment and can arrange additional cover if required, either through our own policy or via your existing home or business insurance. We will clearly explain what is included as standard, including any limits and exclusions, so you can make an informed decision. For very high-value or specialist items, we may recommend separate specialist insurance to ensure complete peace of mind.
What exactly is included in your long-term storage service?
As standard, we provide secure storage space in our Enfield facility, basic handling into and out of the unit, and ongoing support for extending or ending your storage term. Most clients also ask us to manage collection and delivery using our professional moving teams, and many add packing materials or a full packing service. Your quote will set out each element separately – storage, transport and packing – so you can choose the combination that suits your situation, from storage-only through to a complete pack, move and store package.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van plus self-storage?
A casual man-and-van will usually just move items from A to B, often without proper insurance, planning or packing. With us, you’re using a professional removals and storage provider: we survey in advance, advise on packing for long-term storage, use trained staff, and cover your goods with appropriate insurance in transit. At the storage end, we handle careful stacking, labelling and access management. This reduces the risk of damage, lost items and unexpected costs, which is especially important when belongings may be stored for many months or years.
How far in advance should I book long-term storage?
If possible, we recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks ahead, especially during busy periods such as month-end or school holidays. This allows time for a proper survey, planning and packing so the move into storage runs smoothly. However, we understand that circumstances change and not every move can be planned so far in advance, so we keep some flexibility in our schedule. Even if your dates are uncertain, it’s worth talking to us early so we can pencil you in and adjust as your plans firm up.
