Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you’re selling, renovating or downsizing, temporary furniture storage can free up space and help your property show at its best. We regularly support homeowners who need to store full house contents, single rooms or just large items such as sofas, wardrobes and beds.
Renters
For renters facing short gaps between tenancies, or moving into furnished accommodation, storage removes the pressure of rushing to rehome furniture. We can collect from your current flat, store everything safely and deliver to your new address on your chosen date.
Landlords
Landlords often need flexible storage for part-furnished or fully furnished lets. We can store surplus furniture between tenancies or while properties are being refurbished, helping you protect your assets and avoid unnecessary replacements.
Businesses
Offices, shops and studios in Nine Elms use our business furniture storage for:
- Office moves and reconfigurations
- Storing spare desks, chairs and filing
- Showroom, event and display furniture
We offer inventory lists, labelled storage and flexible access options to suit business needs.
Students
Students often don’t have the space or vehicle to deal with bulkier items between terms. We provide cost-effective storage for beds, desks, chairs and small household items during holidays, placements or study abroad periods.
What Items We Can Store
We can store most household and office furniture, including:
- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
- Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
- Beds, mattresses and wardrobes
- Desks, office chairs and filing cabinets
- Bookcases, TV units and coffee tables
- Garden furniture (clean and dry)
- Flat-pack furniture (assembled or disassembled)
We can also store boxed personal items alongside your furniture, provided they’re suitable for standard storage conditions.
What We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and hygiene reasons, we cannot store:
- Perishable food and plants
- Flammable, corrosive or hazardous materials
- Gas cylinders or fuel containers
- Illegal or stolen goods
- Cash, jewellery or high-value collectibles better suited to specialist storage
- Animals or any living creatures
If you’re unsure about a particular item, our team will advise before collection.
How Our Furniture Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or through our website with a brief outline of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask a few questions about your property access, furniture list and preferred dates. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote for collection, storage and redelivery.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger volumes or whole properties, we recommend a short survey. This can be done virtually by video call or onsite in Nine Elms and nearby areas. The survey allows us to confirm the volume, any dismantling required and vehicle access, ensuring there are no surprises on the day and that you get the right-sized storage allocation.
3. Packing & Preparation
On collection day, our professional crew will bring blankets, covers and basic protection materials as standard. If you choose our packing service, we’ll also wrap and pack smaller items and breakables into boxes. We can dismantle larger furniture where necessary for safe transport and efficient storage, keeping all fixings clearly labelled.
4. Loading & Transport
Your furniture is carefully loaded into our purpose-built vehicles, protected with transit blankets and secured to prevent movement. Our team are trained in safe lifting techniques and use dollies, straps and ramps to handle heavy or awkward items. We then transport everything directly to our storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the storage facility, we unload your furniture into your allocated storage unit or container, making efficient use of space while maintaining safe stacking and access. An inventory can be created on request. When you’re ready for your items back, we arrange a convenient delivery date and reverse the process, placing items in the rooms you specify.
Transparent Pricing for Furniture Storage
Our pricing is based on three main factors:
- The volume of furniture to be stored
- The duration of storage
- Collection and redelivery requirements
We provide a clear breakdown covering:
- Collection and loading costs
- Weekly or monthly storage charges
- Optional packing and materials
- Redelivery fees
There are no hidden extras: any parking, congestion or additional labour charges will be explained in advance. Longer-term storage discounts are often available – ask us to tailor a solution to your budget.
Why Use Professional Furniture Storage Instead of DIY or Man-and-Van
Storing furniture yourself or using a casual man-and-van can seem cheaper at first, but often leads to extra trips, damage or poor security. With Storage Nine Elms you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to protect and handle heavy, fragile and valuable items
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Secure, monitored storage rather than a damp garage or lock-up
- Purpose-built vehicles and equipment for safe loading and transport
- Clear paperwork, inventory options and reliable redelivery
This reduces the risk of damage, injury and unexpected costs.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take the responsibility of handling your belongings seriously. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance while your furniture is being moved
- Public liability cover for work carried out at your property
- Trained storage and removals teams following industry best practice
- Well-maintained vehicles and regularly checked equipment
We’re happy to explain insurance limits and options for additional cover where required, so you know exactly how your items are protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own. That means using padded covers, blankets and proper stacking techniques to minimise pressure points and avoid scuffs or tears. Where possible, we reuse high-quality packing materials and recycle cardboard and plastics responsibly. We also plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage, supporting a more sustainable way of moving and storing furniture in London.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House
Chains rarely line up perfectly. Storing your furniture with us in Nine Elms gives you breathing space between completion dates. We can coordinate directly with your removals move so that collection, storage and redelivery all run as one joined-up service.
Office Relocation
Businesses often need to decant furniture in phases. Our office furniture storage allows you to keep surplus desks, meeting tables and filing offsite until you’re ready for them, helping keep your new office tidy and functional from day one.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Life doesn’t always give much warning. When you need to clear a property quickly – after a sale, end of tenancy or flood/repair – we can often offer rapid collection and temporary storage to stabilise the situation while you make longer-term plans.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Nine Elms cost?
The cost depends mainly on how much furniture you have, how long you need to store it for and whether you require collection and redelivery. Smaller loads stored for a few weeks will naturally be cheaper than full house contents stored for several months. After a brief discussion or survey, we’ll provide a clear written quote breaking down collection, weekly or monthly storage and return delivery. There are no surprise extras – any additional labour, parking or access-related charges are explained upfront so you can budget confidently.
Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice collection and storage in Nine Elms and nearby areas. This is particularly common when a completion date moves forward, a tenancy ends suddenly or unexpected works are needed at your property. The more information you can give us when you call, the easier it is for us to allocate the right vehicle, crew and storage space. While we can’t guarantee same-day every time, we always do our best to accommodate urgent situations safely and efficiently.
Are my items insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while we’re moving it, and by our storage insurance while it’s in our facility, subject to standard terms and value limits. We also carry public liability cover for work at your property. We’ll explain exactly what’s included and can often arrange additional cover for particularly high-value items on request. For complete peace of mind, we recommend you tell us about any especially valuable pieces so we can ensure they’re properly documented and protected.
What’s included in your furniture storage service?
Our core service includes collection from your property, careful loading, transport to our storage facility, secure storage and redelivery at the end of the term. As standard, we provide transit blankets and basic protection for furniture during handling and transport. Optional extras include full packing services, specialist wrapping for delicate items, dismantling and reassembly of larger pieces, and detailed inventories. We tailor the level of service to your needs, from simple store-and-hold through to a fully managed pack, move and store solution.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van will usually just provide transport, with limited or no insurance, basic equipment and no storage facility. By contrast, we’re a professional removals and storage company with trained staff, purpose-built vehicles, secure monitored storage and formal insurance in place. We provide proper planning, surveys for larger jobs and clear documentation. That means less risk of damage, fewer problems on the day and a smoother experience from first contact through to redelivery, especially for larger or longer-term storage needs.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer. However, we understand that circumstances can change quickly, so we always keep some flexibility for shorter-notice bookings where possible. As soon as you know you may need storage, get in touch – even if your dates aren’t fixed, we can outline options, give you a guide price and pencil in provisional slots that can often be adjusted later.
