Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Renovating, redecorating, or selling? We can store furniture, appliances, and personal belongings while you create space at home or wait for your completion date. Many homeowners use our storage to stage their property for sale or to bridge a gap between moves.
Renters
If your tenancy dates don’t quite line up or you are moving between flat shares, our storage provides a safe holding space for your possessions. We handle everything from studio flats to large shared houses, keeping your items secure until you are ready for delivery.
Landlords
We assist landlords who need to clear or rotate furniture between properties, store items during refurbishments, or retain appliances and white goods between tenancies. We can collect from multiple addresses and consolidate into one storage allocation.
Businesses
Local businesses use our storage for archived documents, trade show equipment, surplus stock, office furniture, and seasonal displays. We offer organised, itemised storage so that what you need can be retrieved efficiently.
Students
Students in Marylebone and nearby universities often need short-term storage over the summer or during placements. We collect from halls or rented rooms, store your boxes safely, and deliver them back when you return.
What We Can Store
Our storage facilities are suitable for a wide range of household and commercial items, including:
- Household furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (defrosted and dry)
- Personal belongings – books, clothes, kitchenware, ornaments
- Office items – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, IT equipment (properly packed)
- Stock and materials – boxed goods, displays, non-perishable items
- Sports and leisure equipment – bikes, skis, camping gear, gym equipment
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal, and insurance reasons, there are certain items we cannot accept into storage:
- Perishable food or anything that can rot, attract pests, or cause odours
- Flammable, explosive, or hazardous materials (including gas bottles and paints)
- Illegal goods or anything obtained unlawfully
- Cash, jewellery, or high-value collectibles better suited to specialist storage
- Live plants or animals
- Any item that is damp, infested, or contaminated
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you in advance so there are no surprises on collection day.
How Our Storage Service Works: Step-by-Step
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with an outline of what you need to store, when, and for how long. We will ask for a rough inventory, access details, and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining collection costs, storage charges, and any optional services.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger loads or more complex properties, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to confirm the volume, check access (stairs, lifts, parking), and plan the right size vehicle and number of professional movers. It also prevents last-minute issues and changes to pricing on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a full packing service. Our team uses quality packing materials, furniture blankets, and protective coverings. We label and itemise your goods so that everything is clearly documented and easy to retrieve.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our trained team arrives on time, protects flooring and key areas, and carefully loads your items onto our vehicles. We secure everything for transit and transport it directly to our storage facility, minimising handling and the risk of damage.
5. Unloading & Storage Placement
At the facility, items are unloaded, checked against the inventory, and placed into your allocated storage space. Everything is stored systematically to ensure easy access when retrieval or redelivery is needed. When you are ready, we arrange a convenient delivery date back to your new or existing address.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Storage costs are typically made up of:
- Collection and packing (if required)
- Weekly or monthly storage charge based on volume
- Redelivery from storage to your chosen address
We explain all charges upfront so you know exactly what you are paying for. Long-term and business customers may benefit from discounted rates. Because we collect and deliver using our own vehicles and staff, there are no surprise third‑party handling fees.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Opting for professional storage with a dedicated removals company offers significant advantages over hiring a casual man-and-van or self-storage and doing it all yourself:
- Professional packing and handling significantly reduce the risk of damage.
- We provide goods in transit insurance and public liability cover.
- Inventory and labelling mean you know exactly what is in storage.
- Our trained team handles heavy lifting safely, reducing the risk of injury.
- You avoid multiple trips to self-storage and the associated time and fuel costs.
With us, your storage service is organised, documented, and fully supported from door to door, rather than left to chance.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. We always work to high professional standards, backed by appropriate insurance:
- Goods in transit insurance covers your items whilst being moved between your property and our facility.
- Public liability cover protects you and your property during our work on site.
- Trained, experienced teams follow proven handling and lifting techniques.
- Use of professional packing materials and equipment to reduce risk of damage.
We are happy to explain how our cover works and where your own home or business insurance may sit alongside it, so you have complete peace of mind.
Care, Protection, and Sustainability
We treat every item with care, from a single box of books to a full household or office. Protective covers, blankets, and proper stacking techniques are standard practice on every job.
Sustainability matters to us. Wherever possible, we:
- Reuse sturdy cartons and packing materials
- Source recyclable and sustainable packaging
- Plan efficient routes to reduce fuel use and emissions
- Encourage customers to recycle or donate unwanted items before storage
This approach reduces waste and ensures your move into storage is as responsible as it is efficient.
Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House with a Gap Between Dates
Many Marylebone clients find themselves with a completion date that doesn’t align with their new property becoming available. We collect everything from the old home, store it securely for the gap period, and then deliver once keys are released. This avoids rushed decisions or short-term, unsuitable accommodation full of boxes.
Office Refits and Relocations
For businesses upgrading or changing premises, we can clear the office, store furniture and equipment during refurbishment, and phase items back in as needed. This keeps the workspace safe and avoids damage from building works.
Urgent Storage After Leaks or Emergencies
When there is a leak, fire, or structural issue, items often need to be removed quickly. We provide fast, organised storage so that your belongings are removed from risk and held safely while repairs are completed and decisions are made.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage in Marylebone cost?
Storage costs depend on how much space you need, how long you require it for, and whether you would like us to pack for you. We normally price by volume, so you only pay for the capacity you actually use, not a fixed-size unit that may sit half empty. Collection and redelivery are quoted separately and clearly, so you can see the breakdown. Contact us with a rough list of items or photos, and we will provide a tailored, transparent quotation.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where capacity and scheduling allow, we can arrange same-day or short-notice storage for urgent situations, such as last-minute tenancy changes, leaks, or unexpected delays in your move. The sooner you contact us, the better we can plan vehicle allocation and staff. While we cannot guarantee availability every day, we will always explain honestly what is possible, offer the nearest practical slot, and help you stabilise the situation quickly and safely.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your property and our storage facility. Once in storage, we operate to high standards of security and care. We can outline our standard cover and, if required, discuss additional protection for particularly high-value items. We also recommend you check your own home or business insurance, as some policies provide extended cover for possessions stored away from your main address. We are happy to help you understand how the different covers work together.
What is included in your storage service?
Our service can be as simple or as comprehensive as you need. At its core, it includes collection from your address, safe transport to our facility, secure storage in a suitable space, and redelivery when required. Many clients add our packing service, including materials, to ensure everything is professionally packed and inventoried. We also provide furniture protection, careful handling, and documentation of what is stored. You choose the level of support that suits your budget and timescales.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with no structured storage, limited protection, and often no formal insurance. With Removals Marylebone, you get an organised service: trained movers, proper packing, inventory lists, secure storage, and clear insurance arrangements. We take responsibility from your door to the storage unit and back again, rather than simply dropping items at a self-storage site. This reduces risk, saves you time, and provides a reliable, accountable single point of contact.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For the best choice of dates and to secure space during peak periods, we recommend booking as soon as you know you will need storage, ideally at least one to two weeks in advance. However, we understand that circumstances change and moves fall through or get delayed at short notice. We will always do our best to accommodate late bookings. Even if your dates are not fixed, contacting us early allows us to advise, pencil in provisional plans, and avoid last-minute stress.
