Whether you are between properties, renovating, downsizing, or simply running out of space, we make storing furniture straightforward, safe and well organised.
Professional Furniture Storage You Can Rely On
As an experienced local storage and removals provider, we understand how valuable your furniture is – both financially and emotionally. Our professional, trained teams collect your furniture from your property, carefully protect it, and place it into our secure storage facility in Wimbledon. When you are ready, we return everything and position it exactly where you want it.
We combine modern storage facilities with traditional care and attention to detail, backed by goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for complete peace of mind.
Local Wimbledon Expertise
Based in Wimbledon, we know the local streets, building layouts and parking restrictions very well. This local knowledge helps us to plan collections and deliveries efficiently, avoid delays, and protect your furniture when moving through tight stairwells, lifts and narrow hallways.
We regularly support customers in Wimbledon, Southfields, Raynes Park, Merton Park and surrounding areas, working with homeowners, landlords and businesses who need reliable short- or long-term furniture storage.
Who Our Furniture Storage Is For
Homeowners
If you are moving house, redecorating or refurbishing, short-term furniture storage keeps your belongings out of the way and safely protected until your new space is ready.
Renters
Between tenancies or relocating for work? Store larger items such as beds, wardrobes and sofas securely, without the risk of damage in a friend’s garage or an overfilled spare room.
Landlords
Use our service to store part-furnished or fully furnished sets between lets, during refurbishment, or while you change the style of a rental property.
Businesses
Offices, retailers and hospitality venues use our furniture storage to hold surplus desks, chairs, display units and seasonal items off-site, freeing up valuable working space.
Students
Heading home for the holidays or going on a placement? Store beds, desks, shelves and other bulkier items safely rather than paying to move everything back and forth.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a list of furniture you need to store, your property location in Wimbledon and your approximate dates. We will ask a few simple questions to estimate the space required and provide a clear, no-obligation quote for collection, storage and redelivery.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger jobs, awkward access, or high-value items, we recommend a short video or onsite survey. This allows us to measure furniture, assess stairways, lifts and parking, and plan any dismantling. Accurate surveys mean fewer surprises on the day and help us select the right size vehicle and storage unit.
3. Packing & Preparation
On collection day, our trained team arrives with blankets, mattress covers, sofa protectors and other materials. We carefully wrap and protect each piece, dismantle items where necessary, and label everything clearly for easy identification in storage and on redelivery.
4. Loading & Transport
Your furniture is loaded securely into our purpose-equipped vehicles, using ties and padding to prevent movement in transit. With goods in transit insurance in place, your belongings are protected while travelling between your property and our Wimbledon storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement into Storage
At our facility, we unload your furniture carefully into a clean, dry storage unit, arranging items to maximise space and minimise pressure on delicate pieces. When you are ready to receive your furniture back, we reverse the process – delivering to your new or existing address and placing items in the rooms you choose.
Transparent, Flexible Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote typically includes:
- Collection from your Wimbledon or nearby address
- Protective materials and basic dismantling/reassembly
- Weekly or monthly storage charges, depending on term
- Redelivery to your chosen address within our service area
Costs are based on the volume of furniture, access conditions, distance, and the length of storage. Shorter and longer terms are available, and we will always explain options so you can choose what suits your budget and timescales.
Why Use Professional Furniture Storage Instead of DIY
Storing furniture yourself in a shed, garage or with a casual man-and-van may seem cheaper, but it often leads to damage, damp, or items going missing. Our professional service offers:
- Proper protection using industry-standard covers and blankets
- Secure, monitored storage units, not makeshift spaces
- Fully insured transport and storage for your belongings
- Trained teams who know how to move heavy and delicate items safely
- Documented inventories and clear contracts
This reduces the risk of costly damage and gives you confidence that everything will come back in the same condition it left.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your furniture is covered by goods in transit insurance while being moved between your property and our Wimbledon facility, and by our storage cover while it is in our care. We also hold public liability cover, protecting you and your property during collection and delivery.
Our moving teams are trained in lifting techniques, furniture protection and safe loading. We follow clear procedures for handling, inventory and access, giving you a reliable, accountable service throughout.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your furniture as if it were our own. Corners, edges and delicate surfaces are protected; mattresses and soft furnishings are covered to keep them clean; and we take time to stack and position items in storage so they are not under unnecessary strain.
Where possible, we use reusable blankets, covers and crates to reduce waste. Cardboard and plastic used during moves are recycled wherever facilities allow, and we plan routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage.
Real-World Uses for Our Furniture Storage
Moving House
If completion dates do not line up, or you want to decorate before moving everything in, storing furniture gives you breathing space. We can coordinate closely with your removals so that storage is simply part of the overall move.
Office and Commercial Moves
Businesses changing premises, refurbishing, or downsizing often need somewhere secure to hold surplus desks, chairs and equipment. Our furniture storage allows you to scale up or down without committing to extra office space.
Urgent or Last-Minute Situations
Life is not always predictable. If you need to vacate a property quickly due to a sale, tenancy issue or emergency, we can often provide fast, practical storage solutions to keep your furniture safe while you sort out your next steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Wimbledon cost?
The cost of furniture storage depends on how much space you need, how long you want to store items, and whether you require collection and redelivery. We usually base our pricing on the total volume of furniture, access conditions and the distance from your property to our Wimbledon facility. Short-term storage for a few items is naturally cheaper than long-term storage for a full house or office. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often help with same-day or short-notice furniture storage in Wimbledon and nearby areas. If you need urgent support, contact us as early as possible with your location, a rough list of items and your preferred time window. We will check our vehicle and unit availability and explain what we can do. While we cannot guarantee emergency slots every day, we will always try to accommodate urgent moves or suggest the earliest alternative that works for you.
Is my furniture insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your furniture is protected by goods in transit insurance while we are moving it between your property and our Wimbledon storage facility. Once it is in our care, it is covered under our storage insurance policy, and we also hold public liability cover for work carried out at your home or business. We will explain the key points of cover, including any limits or exclusions, before you book. If you have very high-value items, you can tell us so we can discuss any additional requirements.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
Our standard service typically includes collection from your address, protective wrapping of your furniture, safe loading into our vehicles, placement into a secure storage unit, and redelivery at the end of the storage period. Basic dismantling and reassembly of larger furniture is usually included, subject to prior agreement. We provide blankets, covers and ties as part of the service. Optional extras, such as packing smaller personal items or specialist handling for antiques, can be arranged and will be clearly listed on your quote.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may move furniture from A to B, but often without formal training, written terms, or proper insurance. Our service is run by professional, trained teams who specialise in handling furniture and managing secure storage. We use purpose-equipped vehicles, provide protective materials, maintain monitored storage facilities, and hold both goods in transit and public liability insurance. You receive clear documentation, confirmed bookings and agreed standards of care, which significantly reduces the risk of damage or disputes.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
To secure your preferred dates and ensure we allocate the right vehicle and storage space, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month and summer. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. The earlier you contact us with your rough dates and inventory, the more options we can offer and the smoother the process will be.
