• Landlords – storing furniture between lets or while refurbishing a property.
• Businesses – archiving documents, holding seasonal stock, exhibition materials or office furniture.

If you are unsure whether something can be stored, we will advise you when preparing your quotation.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quotation

Contact our Hackney office by phone or online with a brief outline of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask a few questions about the volume of goods, access at your property, and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation covering collection, storage and redelivery.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger storage jobs, we may recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to accurately assess the volume in cubic feet or metres, understand access (stairs, lifts, parking) and identify any fragile or bulky items. A proper survey ensures the right size storage allocation and correct vehicle and crew on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your items yourself, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our trained packers use strong cartons, wrapping materials and blankets to protect your belongings. Furniture is wrapped and protected, mattresses are covered, and delicate items are carefully packed and labelled. We also provide an inventory of items going into storage where requested.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

On collection day, our trained removals team arrive with all necessary equipment. We protect floors and banisters where needed, then carefully load your items onto our vehicles. Everything is securely tied and padded to prevent movement in transit. Your goods are then taken directly to our secure storage facility.

5. Unloading, Storage & Redelivery

At the storage facility, your belongings are unloaded and placed into your allocated storage space or container. Items are stored safely and not accessed by anyone else. When you are ready, simply contact us to arrange redelivery. We will transport your goods to your new address and place items in the rooms you request.

Transparent Storage Pricing

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

• Collection from your Hackney address (and labour costs)
• Storage charges based on space used and duration
• Redelivery to your new address
• Optional packing materials and packing service

Costs are based on volume, access, distance and how long you need storage. There are no hidden extras – any additional charges (for example, out-of-hours work or long carries) will be explained in advance.

Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Basic Man-and-Van?

While a DIY approach or a casual man-and-van may seem cheaper at first glance, it often leads to damage, disorganisation and higher costs in the long run. With Removal Company Hackney, you benefit from:

• Fully insured service with goods covered whilst in transit and in storage (subject to policy terms)
• Trained teams who know how to pack, lift and stack correctly to avoid damage
• Purpose-built storage facilities rather than ad-hoc garages or lock-ups
• Proper inventories and labelling so you can easily find items later
• Professionally maintained vehicles and handling equipment

Professional storage is about peace of mind, not just space.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take the security and safety of your belongings extremely seriously. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance covering your items whilst being transported between your property and our storage facility.
• Public liability cover for work carried out at your premises.
• Trained moving teams who follow recognised industry best practice for packing, lifting and stacking.

Policy details and limits are available on request. We encourage clients to discuss any particularly high-value items with us in advance so the right level of cover is in place.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings as if they were our own. This means careful handling at every stage, clean and dry storage environments, and secure, well-maintained facilities.

We are also conscious of our environmental responsibilities. Where possible we:

• Use reusable protective materials such as furniture blankets and crates
• Source recyclable cartons and packing paper
• Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage

Our aim is to protect both your possessions and the environment.

Real-World Storage Use Cases in Hackney

Moving House with a Gap in the Chain

If your completion and move-in dates do not align, we can move your household contents into storage, hold them safely, then deliver to your new property as soon as keys are released. This avoids the stress of last-minute arrangements and rushed decisions.

Office Relocation and Refits

Hackney businesses often need temporary storage for furniture, IT equipment and documents during an office move or refurbishment. We can schedule staged collections and deliveries around your project timeline to minimise disruption.

Urgent and Short-Notice Storage

Life doesn’t always go to plan. If you need storage at short notice – for example, a sudden tenancy change or urgent declutter – contact us and we’ll do our best to offer a rapid collection slot, subject to availability and volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Hackney cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need and for how long. We calculate volume based on a survey or inventory, then quote a weekly or monthly rate. Your overall price will also include collection and redelivery, plus any optional packing services you choose. Because every customer’s needs are different, we provide tailored quotations rather than flat rates. Once we’ve assessed your requirements, we’ll give you a clear written quote with no hidden extras and explain how costs would change if you extend or reduce your storage term.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

Where possible, yes. If we have vehicle and storage space available, we can often arrange same-day or next-day collection within Hackney and nearby areas. Urgent bookings depend on crew schedules, access requirements and the size of the job, so it’s best to call us as soon as you know you need help. We’ll give you an honest assessment of what we can do, any time constraints, and any additional costs for short-notice or out-of-hours work before you commit.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance during collection and delivery, and by our storage insurance while they are in our facility, subject to policy terms and value limits. We will outline these details when you book. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may recommend specifying them separately or arranging additional cover. We always encourage customers to read our insurance summary carefully and ask questions so you know exactly how your belongings are protected and what is excluded.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes collection from your address, safe transport to our facility, secure storage in an allocated space or container, and redelivery when you’re ready. We provide protective blankets and standard handling as part of the service. Optional extras include packing materials, a professional packing service, dismantling and reassembly of some furniture, and detailed inventories. We’ll agree exactly what is included in writing before the job so there is no confusion on the day or when you request redelivery.

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

With us, you get a complete, professional service rather than just transport or an empty unit. Our trained crews handle packing, loading, safe stacking and protection of your goods, and we manage the storage side for you. A basic man-and-van usually offers limited protection, no formal insurance arrangements, and little accountability once the job is done. With self-storage, you’re responsible for transport, lifting and packing. Our approach combines removals expertise with secure storage, giving you one point of contact from collection to redelivery.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of dates and to secure space at busy times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during peak moving periods such as month-end and summer. However, we understand that storage needs can arise suddenly, so we always try to accommodate short-notice bookings where our schedule and facilities allow. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer, including surveys, packing services and flexible collection slots to suit your timetable.
