• Household furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, dining tables and chairs.
• Boxes of personal items, clothes, books and kitchenware.

• Illegal goods or items obtained unlawfully.

If you are unsure whether we can store a particular item, we are happy to advise before collection.

How Our Storage Process Works

We combine our removals expertise with secure storage to make the process as simple and organised as possible.

1. Enquiry & Quotation

You contact us with a brief overview of what you need to store, your location in Marylebone and your timescales. We will ask a few questions to estimate the volume, access at your property and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and redelivery if required.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger jobs, we usually carry out a short video or onsite survey to confirm the volume of goods and plan the right vehicle and team. This helps ensure there are no surprises on the day and that your items fit comfortably in the appropriate storage unit. For smaller or straightforward collections, we can often quote accurately from photos and a detailed item list.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed day, our trained team arrives to prepare your belongings for storage. We can offer a full packing service, providing boxes and packing materials, or we can simply wrap and protect larger items such as furniture, mirrors and appliances. Everything is clearly labelled so we can locate items easily if you need something back while in storage.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

We carefully load your items onto our vehicles, using protective covers, straps and blankets to avoid movement during transit. Once loaded, your goods are transported directly to our secure storage facility. Access is controlled and monitored, and units are clean, dry and organised. We record each consignment so we know exactly what is stored and where.

5. Storage, Unloading & Placement

At the facility, we unload your goods into a dedicated unit or designated area, stacking items safely and logically for long-term protection. When your storage period ends, or whenever you are ready, we arrange redelivery to your new address in Marylebone or elsewhere. Our team will unload and place items in the rooms you specify, just as we do with our standard removals service.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing for storage and removals. Your quote will normally include:

• The cost of collection from your Marylebone property.
• Monthly or weekly storage charges based on the volume required.
• Any packing materials or packing services you have chosen.
• Redelivery costs, if you know your onward address and dates.

There are no hidden extras; all charges are explained clearly in writing before you book. If your circumstances change and you need more or less space, we can usually adjust your storage unit size and costs accordingly.

Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY Options?

Trusting your belongings to a professional removals and storage company offers several benefits over self-storage or using a casual man-and-van:

• We handle the heavy lifting, reducing the risk of injury or damage.
• Items are packed, wrapped and stacked correctly to avoid crushing and warping.
• Inventory and labelling make it far easier to find items later.
• Our vehicles are equipped for secure transport, unlike many informal vans.
• You are covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance and public liability cover.

With us, you are not just renting a space; you are investing in a managed, accountable service from start to finish.

Insurance & Professional Standards

As a dedicated removals and storage company, we work to clear professional standards to protect you and your belongings:

• Goods in transit insurance while we collect and deliver your items.
• Public liability cover for work at your property and our facilities.
• Trained, experienced staff who handle items carefully and follow agreed procedures.
• Proper contracts and paperwork detailing what we are storing and on what terms.

If required, we can provide proof of our insurance cover and outline exactly what is included and any policy limits. We always encourage customers to discuss any particularly valuable items so we can advise on the best protection.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We are committed to looking after your belongings properly and minimising waste where possible. That means:

• Using high-quality protective materials to prevent dust, scratches and moisture damage.
• Careful stacking and racking to keep items stable and accessible.
• Reusing boxes and materials where suitable, and recycling responsibly when they are no longer fit for purpose.
• Planning efficient collection routes in and around Marylebone to reduce unnecessary mileage.

Our aim is to provide safe storage while acting responsibly towards the environment and our local community.

Real-World Storage Use Cases in Marylebone

Moving House with a Gap Between Dates

Many Marylebone clients find that their sale completes before their purchase. We collect your household contents, store them securely for as long as needed, then deliver everything to your new home on the day you receive the keys.

Office Relocations and Refits

For businesses, we can store office furniture, files and equipment while your new workspace is being fitted out. This keeps your old and new premises clear and allows for a smoother phased move. When you are ready, we deliver, install and position everything as agreed.

Urgent or Same-Week Storage

Sometimes circumstances change quickly – a tenancy ends earlier than planned, or building work is brought forward. Subject to availability, we can arrange urgent storage, often within the same week and occasionally the same day, collecting your items from Marylebone and placing them into secure storage at short notice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Marylebone cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need and how long you need it for. We calculate this based on the volume of your items, usually in cubic feet or metres, and provide a clear weekly or monthly rate. Collection and redelivery are quoted separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden fees, and if your storage needs change, we can often move you to a larger or smaller unit and adjust the price accordingly.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

Where capacity allows, we do offer urgent and sometimes same-day storage services in Marylebone. If you have been let down by another company, or your circumstances change suddenly, call us as soon as possible. We will check vehicle and unit availability, give you an honest answer on what we can do, and provide a fast quote. Even when same-day is not feasible, we can usually arrange collection within a very short timeframe and help you plan the next steps.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are collecting and delivering them, and our public liability cover applies while we are working at your property and facilities. Standard storage policies provide a level of protection against specific risks, although policy limits and exclusions do apply. We always recommend you tell us about any particularly high-value items so we can discuss the most appropriate cover. We are happy to explain exactly what our insurance includes and how it works alongside your own contents insurance.

What is included in your storage service?

Our storage service can be as straightforward or as comprehensive as you need. As standard, we collect your items from your Marylebone address, protect and load them carefully, transport them to our secure facility and place them in a designated storage area. At the end of the storage period, we arrange redelivery and place items in the rooms you choose. If you prefer, we can also provide a full packing service, including boxes and wrapping, and we always label items so they can be located and returned efficiently.

How is this different from a basic man-and-van or self-storage?

With a casual man-and-van or basic self-storage, you are often responsible for everything: packing, lifting, transport, loading and insurance arrangements. Our service is managed end-to-end by professional, trained movers. We plan the job properly, protect your items, provide appropriate cover and keep an organised record of what is stored. You deal with one accountable company rather than several separate services. For most customers, this reduces stress, risk of damage and unexpected costs, especially when storing a full home or office.

How far in advance should I book storage?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you know you need storage, especially during busy moving periods such as the end of the month or summer. A week or two gives us time to carry out a survey, confirm your volume and schedule the right team and vehicle. However, we understand that plans can change quickly in Marylebone, so we do our best to accommodate shorter notice. Even if your dates are not fixed, we can reserve provisional space and adjust the details as your situation becomes clearer.
