Everything is handled by our trained, professional, and fully insured team.

Local Expertise in Hampstead
Operating across Hampstead and the surrounding areas, we know the local streets, parking restrictions and building layouts extremely well. That local knowledge means:
- We plan vehicle access and loading to minimise disruption.
- We liaise with building management or concierge where required.
- We schedule collections and returns at times that work for you and your neighbours.
From period houses off the Heath to mansion blocks and smaller flats, we work in all types of Hampstead properties, using appropriate protection for staircases, lifts and communal areas as needed.
Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, renovating or extending, our storage service keeps furniture and personal items out of the way and protected from dust and damage. We can synchronise storage with your moving timetable so your belongings are ready the day you get your keys.
Renters
Tenancy ending before your new place is ready? Our storage options bridge the gap, so you do not have to rush decisions or dispose of items you still want. We collect from your current flat and deliver to your new address on the agreed date.
Landlords
Landlords often need short-term storage for furniture between tenancies, during refurbishments or when changing from furnished to unfurnished lets. We offer flexible terms so you can store only what you need, for as long as required.
Businesses
For businesses, we provide off-site storage for documents, seasonal stock, display materials, surplus furniture and archive items. Our professional team can inventory and label items clearly so that retrieval is quick and straightforward.
Students
Students in Hampstead and nearby areas can store belongings over the summer or during a study year abroad. We collect from halls or shared houses, keep everything safe, then deliver back to your new term-time address.
What We Can Store
Our storage service covers a wide range of household and business items, including:
- Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other furniture
- Boxes of books, clothes and personal belongings
- Kitchenware and small appliances
- Office desks, chairs and filing cabinets
- IT equipment, monitors and peripherals (securely packed)
- Sports equipment and hobby items
- Exhibition and marketing materials
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot place the following into storage:
- Perishable or open food and drink
- Flammable, corrosive or hazardous materials (paints, fuels, gas cylinders, chemicals)
- Live plants, animals or any living organisms
- Illegal goods or items of unknown origin
- Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents (e.g. passports, deeds)

If you are unsure about a particular item, we are happy to advise before collection.
Our Step-by-Step Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You start by contacting our team with details of what you need to store and for how long. If you are not sure, that is fine – we can estimate. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and redelivery, so you understand all likely costs before you book.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger volumes or complex properties, we recommend a brief survey. This can often be done virtually via video call, or in person if preferred. The survey allows us to assess access, parking, the volume of items (in cubic feet or metres), and any special packing requirements.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, our trained team arrives with all necessary materials. We can offer:
- Full packing service – we pack everything for you.
- Part packing – we pack fragile or bulky items only.
- Self-pack – you pack, and we simply collect.
Furniture is wrapped in transit blankets or specialist covers, and fragile items are boxed and cushioned. Each item or box is labelled for easy identification.
4. Loading & Transport
We load your belongings carefully onto our vehicles, protecting lifts, stairs and doorways. Our vehicles are fitted for removals work and covered by goods in transit insurance. We then transport everything directly to the storage facility, minimising handling.
5. Unloading & Secure Storage
At the facility, your items are unloaded and stored methodically. We keep an inventory so we know exactly what you have in store. When you are ready for your items back – whether it is a few boxes or your entire consignment – we schedule a convenient delivery slot and place everything in the rooms you specify.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, predictable pricing. Our quotes typically include:
- Collection from your Hampstead address
- Packing services (if requested)
- Transport to the storage facility
- Weekly or monthly storage charges
- Return delivery to your new or existing address
Costs depend on the volume of items, packing level, access conditions and storage duration. We explain each element before you commit, so there are no surprise add-ons. Discounts may be available for longer-term storage and for combined removal and storage bookings.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using a professional removals and storage service offers several advantages over self-storage with a casual man-and-van or doing it yourself:
- Trained teams know how to pack and stack safely, reducing risk of damage.
- Fully insured cover means your belongings are protected in transit.
- We provide high-quality packing materials and protective covers.
- We handle all heavy lifting, reducing risk of personal injury.
- Inventory and labelling ensure you know what is in store.
While a cheap van may seem attractive, the cost of breakages, lost items or delays can quickly outweigh any small saving. Our role is to protect your belongings and your time.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As an established removals company, we operate to recognised industry standards:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while we are moving them to and from storage.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to property or third parties during our work.
- Trained moving teams – staff are experienced in handling fragile, bulky and valuable items safely.
We are always happy to clarify what is covered and any limits or exclusions, so you can make informed decisions. If you have particularly high-value items, additional cover can usually be arranged.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your belongings are treated with the same care we would give our own. We use suitable protection for furniture, mattresses, soft furnishings and delicate items, and we load methodically to prevent movement in transit.
We also look for ways to reduce waste and environmental impact, including:
- Reusing sturdy cartons and materials where safe and hygienic.
- Recycling cardboard, plastic and paper where possible.
- Planning routes efficiently to limit unnecessary mileage.
Choosing professional storage with proper planning often means fewer trips, less damage and less waste overall.
Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House with a Gap Between Dates
Many Hampstead clients sell their property before their new home is ready. We collect, store and then deliver on your completion date, so you do not need to find temporary furnished accommodation for your belongings as well as yourself.
Office Refurbishment or Relocation
Businesses often need space while refurbishing or reconfiguring their office. We can store desks, chairs, archives and IT equipment, then return items in stages as your new layout is completed.
Urgent or Last-Minute Storage
Occasionally, storage is needed at short notice – a chain collapse, unexpected works, or a sudden move. Subject to availability, we can arrange rapid collection and storage, helping you avoid rushed decisions about what to keep.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage in Hampstead cost?
Storage costs depend mainly on the volume of items, access conditions and how long you need the space. We charge a collection and delivery fee for the removal work, plus a weekly or monthly storage rate based on the size of the consignment. Longer-term storage can work out cheaper per week, and combining your move and storage with us is usually more economical than arranging them separately. Once we understand what you need to store, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
In many cases we can arrange same-day or urgent storage, particularly if you are in Hampstead or nearby. Availability depends on our current schedule and space at the storage facility, but we always try to help in emergencies such as last-minute tenancy changes or delayed completions. The earlier you call, the easier it is for us to allocate vehicles and crew. Even if we cannot manage full packing at short notice, we can often provide a basic collection and secure storage option to keep your items safe.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?
Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them to and from the storage facility. We also carry public liability cover for the work we carry out at your property. The storage facility itself has its own protections in place, and we can explain how these apply to your consignment. As with all insurance, there are limits and exclusions, so we talk you through these in plain language. For particularly high-value or specialist items, you may wish to arrange top-up cover.
What is included in your storage service?
Our storage service includes collection from your property, careful loading, transport to the storage facility, unloading and secure placement of your items. We can also provide packing materials and a full packing service or partial packing for fragile items, depending on your needs. An inventory is created so we can track what you have in store. When you are ready, we arrange delivery back to your chosen address and place items in the rooms you specify. All labour, vehicles and standard protective materials are covered within your agreed quote.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service usually offers transport only, often without trained staff or meaningful insurance. Our approach is different: we provide trained crews, purpose-equipped vehicles, goods in transit insurance, clear inventories and careful packing. We also coordinate directly with the storage facility and manage the entire process end-to-end. This reduces the risk of damage, loss or confusion about what is stored where. For valuable belongings and important documents, using a professional removals and storage company gives far greater peace of mind than an informal transport-only option.
How far in advance should I book storage?
Where possible, it is best to book at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer or month-end. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, plan access and reserve the right amount of storage space. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we do our best to accommodate shorter notice. If you know roughly when you will need storage, contacting us early means we can pencil in dates and adjust them as your situation becomes clearer.
