Who Our New Addington Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you are selling your property and want to declutter for viewings, or if your purchase is delayed and you need storage between completion dates. We can store furniture, white goods, boxes, and seasonal items safely until your new home is ready.

Renters

If you are between tenancies, moving in with a partner, or relocating temporarily for work, our storage service lets you keep your belongings secure without committing to a larger property just for the extra space.

Landlords

We support landlords who need to clear a property quickly between tenants, store furnishings during refurbishments, or hold items while deciding what to keep or replace. We can work to tight turnaround times and provide itemised inventories on request.

Businesses

From sole traders to small offices, our storage is ideal for excess stock, documents, displays, seasonal equipment and office furniture. We can coordinate collections outside core hours to minimise disruption to your business.

Students

Students often need storage over the summer or during placement years. We can collect from halls or shared houses, store everything safely, and deliver back at the start of term, saving you multiple trips with heavy bags.

What We Can Store

We handle most household and light commercial items, including:

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes, dining sets and other furniture
• Fridges, freezers, washing machines and small appliances
• Boxes of clothes, books, toys and personal belongings
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment (securely packed)
• Tools, small machinery and trade equipment (clean and emptied of fuel)
• Sports equipment, bikes and hobby items

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our storage service:

• Perishable goods or anything that will rot, smell or attract pests
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles, fuel, paint thinners)
• Illegal items or anything that breaches UK law
• Cash, jewellery, precious metals or high-value collectibles
• Live animals, plants or any living organism

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise honestly before you book so there are no surprises on the day.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: what you need to store, your location in or around New Addington, access details, and your approximate dates. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on volume, collection requirements and storage duration.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger storage jobs, we recommend a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access (stairs, lifts, parking), estimate the space you will need, and identify any fragile or bulky items. Accurate surveys keep costs transparent and prevent last-minute issues.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own items, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our trained team use quality cartons, bubble wrap and furniture covers to protect your belongings. Mattresses, sofas and fragile pieces are wrapped, and all boxes are labelled so retrieval is straightforward.

4. Loading & Transport

On the agreed day, our professional crew arrive with the right size vehicle and protective equipment. We handle all the lifting, carefully loading and securing your goods in our van. Items are then transported directly to our secure storage facility with goods in transit insurance in place.

5. Unloading & Placement in Storage

At the facility, we unload and place your items systematically so that they remain accessible and protected. If you need specific items back early, we can arrange partial returns. When your storage period ends, we deliver everything back to your chosen address and position items in the rooms you request.

Transparent Storage Pricing

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

• Collection from your New Addington property or business
• All loading and unloading labour
• Transport to and from the storage facility
• Storage charges based on the space required and length of stay

Options such as packing services, packing materials or special handling for delicate items are priced separately and explained in advance. There are no hidden charges for stairs or standard walking distances; anything unusual is agreed beforehand following the survey.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY

Hiring a casual van and doing it yourself can look cheaper at first glance, but there are real risks: injury from heavy lifting, damage to furniture, poor loading that leads to breakages in transit, and no insurance cover if something goes wrong.

With us, you benefit from trained movers who know how to protect and handle your belongings, fully insured transport, and proper inventory control. The process is faster, safer and far less stressful, especially when combined with a house or office move.

Insurance & Professional Standards

As an established local removals and storage provider, we take responsibility seriously. Our services include:

• Goods in transit insurance while your items are being moved to and from storage
• Public liability cover for work carried out at your home or business premises
• Trained, experienced moving teams who follow safe handling procedures

We will always explain the level of cover included as standard and can advise if you need additional protection for unusually high-value items. We encourage customers to keep their own home or business insurance in place as an extra safeguard.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped, appliances are secured and boxes are stacked to avoid crushing. We use protective blankets, straps and covers on every storage job.

Where possible, we use reusable containers and durable packing materials. Cardboard boxes are recycled responsibly, and we plan our routes around New Addington to reduce unnecessary mileage. Our goal is to provide a dependable service while keeping our environmental impact as low as reasonably practical.

Real-World Uses for Our Storage in New Addington

Moving House

If your sale and purchase dates do not line up, we can move you out, store everything securely, and then deliver to your new address when the keys are ready. This takes the pressure off tight chains and last-minute delays.

Office Relocations

When refurbishing or relocating an office, excess furniture, documents and equipment can go into storage temporarily. We can phase collections and deliveries so your team can keep working with minimal interruption.

Renovations & Refurbishments

During building work, stored furniture stays clean, safe and out of the way. We collect before works start and return once the dust has settled, helping you avoid damage from trades and debris.

Urgent & Short-Notice Storage

Sometimes you need storage quickly – perhaps a tenancy is ending suddenly or a relationship change means a rapid move. Where availability allows, we offer same-day or next-day collections around New Addington and can arrange immediate storage space.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in New Addington cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you want to store for, and whether you require collection and redelivery. We calculate volume based on the items you are storing and then match this to an appropriate storage unit size. Your quote will itemise collection, storage and return so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras, and for longer-term storage we may be able to offer reduced monthly rates.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?

Where we have space and vehicles available, we can arrange same-day or short-notice storage for customers in and around New Addington. This is particularly useful if a move falls through at the last minute or you need to clear a property quickly. Contact us as soon as you know you need urgent help, and we will give you an honest answer on what we can do that day, along with clear pricing. If same-day is not possible, we will aim for the earliest available slot.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them between your property and the storage facility. The storage provider also carries its own insurance for the premises. However, cover levels and exclusions can vary, especially for high-value or unusual items. We will explain what is included as standard and, if needed, advise on options for additional cover. We also recommend you keep your own contents or business insurance active as an extra layer of protection.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes collection from your address, all loading and unloading, transport to the facility, secure storage of your goods, and redelivery at the end of the storage period. You can add optional services such as professional packing, supply of boxes and materials, and special handling for delicate or oversized items. We will discuss access requirements, staircases and parking in advance so we can plan the right team and vehicle, ensuring everything is covered in your written quotation.

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

A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with limited or no insurance and little accountability if items are damaged. Our service is a professional removals and storage operation with trained staff, proper wrapping and protection, goods in transit insurance and public liability cover. We provide written quotes, clear terms and scheduled collection windows. This means your belongings are handled carefully, you know exactly what to expect, and you have recourse if something goes wrong, which is rarely the case with informal operators.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or school holidays. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed and reserve the right size storage space. However, we understand that not all storage needs are predictable. If your situation is urgent, contact us and we will always try to accommodate you at short notice or suggest the nearest alternative date that works.
