Whether you are in between properties, renovating, decluttering or running a business, we offer professional, fully managed storage with collection and redelivery included.

As a local removals and storage company, we understand the pressures of moving and the lack of space in London homes. Our aim is to make storage in Wormwood Scrubs as simple and stress-free as possible, with clear pricing, careful handling and secure facilities.

Local Expertise in Wormwood Scrubs

We work daily in Wormwood Scrubs and the surrounding areas, so we know the local streets, access issues, parking restrictions and building layouts. This local knowledge helps us plan your collection and redelivery efficiently, minimising disruption and keeping your belongings safe.

Our storage crews are trained and experienced in handling city moves, tight staircases and restricted access. We supply the right size vehicle and team for each job, ensuring your items are loaded safely for transport to our secure storage facility.

• Landlords – storing furniture and appliances between lets or during refurbishments.
• Businesses – file archives, seasonal stock, surplus equipment, event materials.
• Students – term-time or holiday storage for belongings when moving halls or travelling.

Whether you need to store a single room’s contents or an entire office, we tailor our service to your situation and timeframe.

Our storage solutions cover most typical household and business items, including:

• Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, desks and shelving.
• Boxes and personal items – clothes, books, kitchenware, ornaments and collections.
• Electronics – TVs, computers, printers, audio equipment (properly packed and protected).
• Office contents – filing cabinets, chairs, workstations, stock and marketing materials.
• Sporting and hobby equipment – bikes, camping gear, tools and musical instruments.

Items We Cannot Store

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

• Perishable goods, food and anything that may attract pests.
• Hazardous materials – paints, solvents, gas bottles, chemicals and explosives.
• Illegal items or anything of doubtful ownership.
• Live plants or animals.

If you are unsure about a particular item, we are happy to advise before collection.

How Our Storage Service Works – Step by Step

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with details of what you need to store, where from, and for how long. We ask a few questions about volume, access and timing. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote showing collection, storage and redelivery costs.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex jobs, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to accurately assess the volume, any fragile or bulky items, and parking or access restrictions. A proper survey means we can allocate the right team, packing materials and vehicle, avoiding surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing service – our professional team packs everything using quality materials.
• Part packing – we pack fragile or awkward items; you pack the rest.
• Self packing – you pack, and we simply collect and load.

We label all boxes clearly for easy retrieval and redelivery. Furniture is disassembled where required and wrapped for protection.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

On collection day, our trained crew arrives on time, protects floors and walls where needed, and carefully loads your items. Everything is blanket-wrapped or placed in protective covers, then secured in the vehicle. We transport your goods directly to our secure storage facility, with your items kept grouped together for straightforward redelivery.

5. Unloading & Placement in Storage

At the storage facility, we unload and place your items in a dedicated, clearly identified storage area or container. We ensure that fragile items are not stacked under heavy furniture and that frequently needed items are accessible. When your storage period ends, we simply reverse the process and deliver your belongings back to your chosen address, placing items in the rooms you specify.

Transparent, Fair Storage Pricing

We believe in clear, honest pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote will usually include:

• Collection from your Wormwood Scrubs property or business.
• Transport to our storage facility.
• Storage charged by volume and duration.
• Redelivery to your chosen address at the end of the storage period.

Costs depend on the amount you store, access conditions and any packing services required. We explain all charges in advance so you can compare us with other options on a like-for-like basis.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

Using a fully managed, professional storage service offers several advantages over hiring a van and doing it yourself or using an unregulated operator:

• Fully insured storage and transport, giving you protection if something goes wrong.
• Trained movers who know how to handle heavy, fragile and valuable items safely.
• Purpose-built storage environments rather than garages, sheds or unsuitable spaces.
• Systematic labelling and inventory so you know exactly what is stored.
• Reduced risk of damage to property, belongings and yourself.

With us, you are not relying on friends’ availability or taking unnecessary risks with your possessions.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Our storage and removals services are backed by:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being moved between your property and the storage facility.
• Public liability cover – protecting you and your property while our team is working on site.
• Trained moving teams – experienced staff following established handling and safety procedures.

We are happy to explain the scope of our cover and, where necessary, advise if specialist insurance is recommended for particularly high-value items.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We handle every item as if it were our own. This means using the right packing materials, securing loads properly and planning our routes to minimise time in transit. We use reusable blankets, durable furniture covers and recyclable cardboard wherever possible. When materials reach the end of their life, we dispose of them responsibly through recycling schemes. By combining careful planning with thoughtful materials use, we reduce waste and help protect both your belongings and the environment.

Real-World Ways Customers Use Our Storage

Moving House

Property chains do not always line up neatly. Many homeowners and renters in Wormwood Scrubs use our storage to bridge the gap between moving out and getting the keys to their new place. We collect from the old address, store for as long as needed, and deliver straight to the new home.

Office Relocations

Businesses often need temporary storage during refurbishments or relocations. We can store desks, chairs, IT equipment and archives while work is carried out, allowing you to keep your new office clear and organised from day one.

Renovations and Refurbishments

Keeping furniture and belongings in a property during building work increases the risk of dust and damage. We collect and store your items until the work is complete, then return everything clean and intact.

Urgent and Short-Notice Storage

Sometimes life changes quickly – a sudden move, a relationship change or an unexpected refurbishment. Subject to availability, we can often provide short-notice or same-day storage collection in Wormwood Scrubs, helping you deal with urgent situations calmly and efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Wormwood Scrubs cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you need it for and whether you require packing or collection services. We usually charge by the cubic foot or by storage container, with clear weekly or monthly rates. Your quote will break down collection, storage and redelivery so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden charges for standard access or handling. Contact us with a brief list of items and we will provide a tailored price for your situation.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

In many cases, yes. If we have vehicle and storage capacity available, we can arrange same-day or very short-notice collection in Wormwood Scrubs. This is particularly helpful for emergency moves, unexpected property issues or last-minute tenancy changes. The more information you can give us when you call – including address, access, and a rough list of items – the quicker we can confirm availability and price. While we cannot guarantee same-day slots every time, we always do our best to accommodate urgent requests.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your property and the storage facility, and by our standard cover while in store, subject to the terms and value limits of the policy. We will explain these limits before you book, and you can choose to arrange additional cover through your own insurer if needed. We also carry public liability cover for work at your property. Our focus on careful packing, loading and secure storage significantly reduces the likelihood of any claim being necessary.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service typically includes collection from your address, transport to our facility, safe unloading into a dedicated storage area and secure storage for the agreed period. At the end of the term, we arrange redelivery to your chosen address and place items in the appropriate rooms. You can add optional services such as full or part packing, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and provision of packing materials. We outline exactly what is included in your personalised quote so you know precisely what to expect.

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

A basic man-and-van service usually offers transport only, with limited or no insurance, no formal storage facility and minimal accountability. Our service combines professional removals expertise with secure, managed storage. We provide fully insured transport, trained crews, suitable packing materials and a properly controlled storage environment. Your items are recorded, kept together and protected, rather than being left in ad hoc or shared spaces. You also have one point of contact throughout, which makes planning and problem-solving much easier.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly during busy periods such as month-end or summer. However, we understand that storage needs often arise at short notice, so we always keep some flexibility for urgent bookings where possible. As soon as you think you might need storage in Wormwood Scrubs, get in touch; we can provisionally reserve space and refine the details as your plans become clearer.
