Local Household Storage Experts in Putney
As a locally focused storage provider, we understand the particular challenges of living in Putney: limited space, busy streets, tight access and frequent moves in and out of flats and terraces. Our site is easy to reach from Putney High Street, Wandsworth, Fulham and the wider South West London area, with convenient access and practical loading bays.
Our staff are trained in both removals and storage, so we can advise on everything from the best way to pack fragile goods to how to plan long-term storage when you are heading overseas or downsizing.

Ideal for students from local universities and colleges who need a secure place to store belongings over the summer or during a placement year, removing the hassle of transporting everything back and forth.

- Boxes of clothes, books and personal belongings
- Kitchenware, small appliances and household goods
- Children’s toys, sports equipment and hobby items
- Decorations and seasonal items (Christmas trees, garden furniture etc.)

Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from storage:
- Perishable or open food and any items that could attract pests
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including paint thinners, gas canisters, fireworks)
- Illegal goods or anything obtained unlawfully
- Live animals or plants
- Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents where specialist storage is more appropriate
If you are unsure whether a particular item can be stored, our trained team will be happy to advise before you book.
Household Storage with Collection and Delivery
As experienced removals professionals, we can combine storage with full collection and delivery. That means you do not have to arrange a separate van or do the heavy lifting yourself.
We offer:
- Standard household storage – you bring your items to our facility
- Storage with collection – we collect from your home or office and place items into your chosen unit
- Storage with redelivery – when you are ready, we deliver everything to your new address and place items in the rooms you choose
Our Step-by-Step Storage and Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few simple questions about the volume of items, access, and any deadlines. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote for storage and, if required, collection and delivery.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves or where access is tight, we may recommend a quick virtual or onsite survey. This helps us confirm the right unit size, the number of removal staff needed and the best vehicle. It also minimises unexpected issues on the day and keeps costs transparent.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or choose our professional packing service. Our team uses quality materials and proven techniques to protect furniture and fragile items, labelling boxes clearly to make retrieval easy. We can supply boxes, tape, wrapping paper and protective covers if you prefer to pack yourself.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our trained removals team will arrive on time, protect floors and doorways where needed, and carefully load your items. Everything is secured in the vehicle for safe transit to our storage facility. We work efficiently but never rush, keeping communication clear throughout.
5. Unloading & Placement into Storage
At our site, we unload your belongings into your allocated unit, stacking items thoughtfully so that anything you might need access to is kept towards the front. Once everything is secure, you receive confirmation of your unit details, access arrangements and ongoing payments.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe storage and removals costs should be straightforward. Our pricing is based on:
- Unit size and storage duration
- Whether you require collection, redelivery, or both
- Optional services such as packing materials and packing labour
- Access requirements (e.g. stairs only, long carry distances)
You will receive a written quote outlining all expected costs before you commit, with no hidden extras. Discounts may be available for longer-term storage; just ask our team for current offers.
Why Choose Professional Storage & Removals over DIY
Using a professional storage and removals company offers key benefits over doing it yourself or relying on a casual man-and-van service:
- Time and effort saved – no repeated trips in a small car or van hire headaches
- Safety – correct lifting techniques and equipment reduce the risk of injury or damage
- Planning – experienced crews know how to handle narrow staircases, busy streets and awkward items
- Protection – proper wrapping, stacking and securing of belongings during transit and storage
- Cover – unlike many ad hoc services, our work is fully insured
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to recognised industry standards, with strong emphasis on safety, training and protection of your belongings. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance for items we move between your property and our storage facility
- Public liability cover for work carried out in your home, building or on-site
- Trained moving teams who understand proper packing, lifting and loading techniques
Insurance details and limits are explained clearly before you book, and we can advise on additional cover for especially high-value items if needed.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We know your belongings often have more than just financial value. Our approach focuses on careful handling at every stage:
- Protective covers, blankets and wraps used on furniture and fragile goods
- Clean, dry, well-maintained storage units with robust security
- Thoughtful stacking to prevent crushing or distortion of items
We are also working to reduce our environmental impact through the use of reusable packing materials where possible, recycling unwanted boxes, and route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage.
Real-World Uses of Our Household Storage
Moving House
If your moving dates do not align, or you are downsizing but not ready to part with certain items, our storage gives you breathing space. We can collect from your current home, store for as long as needed and deliver to your new address when you are ready.
Office and Home Office Relocation
Businesses and home workers use our service when relocating offices, refurbishing spaces or switching to hybrid working. Desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment can be stored safely while your new layout is put in place.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
Life does not always give much notice. If you need to vacate a property quickly due to a sale, landlord request or personal circumstance, we can often arrange rapid collection and storage, giving you time to make longer-term decisions without pressure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does household storage in Putney cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need and how long you plan to store for. Smaller units for a few boxes and small items are naturally cheaper than larger units that hold a full house of furniture. Additional charges may apply for optional services such as collection, delivery and packing. Once we know roughly what you have and your timescales, we provide a clear written quote, including any discounts for long-term storage, so you know exactly what to budget.
Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or very short-notice storage, especially if you are able to bring items to our facility yourself. If you also need collection, availability will depend on our removals schedule and the size of the job. Call us as soon as you know you need urgent help and we will explain the options. Even when same-day collection is not possible, we can usually secure a unit for you quickly so you have a confirmed solution.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and during transport?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items we move between your property and our site, and your belongings are protected by our facility’s own cover while stored, subject to policy terms. We also hold public liability cover for the work we carry out at your home or business premises. We will explain insurance limits and any exclusions before you book. For unusually high-value items, we may recommend additional specialist cover, and we are happy to discuss this with you.
What is included in your household storage service?
At its simplest, our service includes a clean, secure storage unit in a suitable size, with agreed access arrangements and clear monthly or weekly pricing. Many customers add collection from their home or office, and some also choose our professional packing service and redelivery at the end of the storage period. We supply packing materials on request, can help plan your move, and provide advice on what to store and how best to pack. You decide how much or how little help you want.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
Unlike many casual man-and-van offerings, we provide a complete, accountable service. Our trained teams use proper equipment and techniques, we operate from a secure, purpose-built storage facility, and our work is fully insured. You benefit from clear quotes, planned scheduling, and a single point of contact for both transport and storage. We also have experience dealing with complex access, fragile items and longer-term storage requirements, which reduces the risk of damage and stress compared with an informal arrangement.
How far in advance should I book household storage?
Where possible, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need collection, packing or are moving at a busy time of year. This gives us time to schedule the right team and ensure the ideal unit size is available. However, we recognise that plans often change at short notice, so we will always try to accommodate last-minute bookings. The sooner you contact us, the more flexibility we will have with dates, times and unit options.
