Our Step-by-Step Long-Term Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with a rough list of items and your dates. We ask a few simple questions about access, volume and any special requirements, then provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger loads or full properties, we arrange a virtual survey via video call or an onsite survey in Crews Hill and surrounding areas. This lets us assess volume accurately, plan parking and ensure we bring the right vehicle, packing materials and team size.
3. Packing & Preparation
On collection day, our trained team can provide a full or partial packing service if required. We use sturdy cartons, export-grade wrap and mattress covers, and we dismantle furniture where needed. Each item or box is labelled and inventoried so we know exactly what is in your unit.
4. Loading & Transport
We protect floors, banisters and doors as we load. Items are carefully stacked in the vehicle to avoid movement in transit. Your goods are then transported directly to our secure Crews Hill storage facility under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading, Placement & Storage
On arrival, we unload into your allocated container or storage bay. Furniture is wrapped and raised off the floor where necessary. We complete an inventory for your records and secure the unit in our monitored warehouse. When you are ready for redelivery, we simply reverse the process and bring everything back to your new address.
Transparent Long-Term Storage Pricing
We keep pricing straightforward and explain it in advance. Your overall cost will depend on:
- The volume of goods (measured in cubic feet or metres)
- The duration of storage
- Collection and redelivery addresses and access
- Any optional services such as packing or specialist wrapping
We provide a clear written quote so you know:
- Monthly or weekly storage charges
- Collection and redelivery costs
- Any optional extras you have chosen
There are no surprise fees for normal access, and we discuss any potential additional costs (such as long carries or parking charges) before you book.
Why Use Professional Long-Term Storage Instead of Doing It Yourself?
Using a professional, fully insured storage company in Crews Hill offers important advantages over DIY solutions or casual man-and-van operators:
- Protection – Professional wrapping, stacking and climate-conscious storage reduce the risk of mould, warping and damage.
- Security – Our facilities are monitored, alarmed and access-controlled.
- Inventory control – Detailed lists of stored items help you keep track over years, not days.
- Continuity – The same company collects, stores and redelivers, so there is clear responsibility throughout.
- Time saving – We handle lifting, dismantling and logistics, allowing you to focus on your move or project.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a professional storage provider, we operate to strict standards:
- Goods in transit insurance – Your belongings are covered while being moved between your property and our facility.
- Public liability cover – Protects you and your property while our team is working on site.
- Trained, professional crews – Our staff are experienced in handling furniture, fragile items and awkward loads safely.
- Documented inventories and contracts for complete clarity on what is stored and on what terms.
If required, you can arrange additional cover for very high-value items, and we are happy to provide guidance on suitable levels of protection.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We believe long-term storage should protect both your belongings and the environment.
- We use reusable, sturdy crates where practical to reduce single-use packaging.
- Cardboard, paper and plastics are recycled wherever possible.
- Our vehicles are maintained for efficiency, and routes are planned to minimise unnecessary mileage.
- We use protective blankets and covers that are used repeatedly rather than disposed of after one trip.
Above all, we handle your possessions with care, using the right techniques for lifting, wrapping and stacking so that items come out of storage in the same condition they went in.
Common Long-Term Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Chains fall through, dates change and completion is often delayed. Long-term storage bridges the gap, allowing you to move out on time, store everything safely with us in Crews Hill, and take delivery once your new property is ready.
Office Relocation and Refurbishment
Businesses use our storage to hold desks, chairs, filing and IT equipment while new premises are fitted out or existing offices are refurbished. We can redeliver in phases to fit your floorplan and schedule.
Urgent and Unplanned Moves
Sometimes circumstances change quickly – relationship breakdowns, urgent landlord requests or unexpected relocations. We can often arrange rapid collection and move your belongings into secure storage at short notice, giving you time to plan your next step.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does long-term storage cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need and how long you need it for. We measure the volume of your items and recommend an appropriate unit size so you are not paying for empty space. There will also be a one-off charge for collection and a later charge for redelivery. We provide a clear written quotation showing weekly or monthly storage fees, handling costs and any optional extras, such as packing. There are no hidden charges, and we are happy to talk through ways to reduce costs by optimising your load.
Can you offer same-day or urgent long-term storage?
Where our schedule and space allow, we can arrange same-day or next-day collection into long-term storage from Crews Hill and nearby areas. Urgent moves are handled just as carefully as planned ones: we still protect furniture, complete an inventory and secure your goods properly. The more information you can give us when you call, the better we can allocate vehicles and staff at short notice. While we cannot guarantee emergency slots every day, we will always be honest about availability and offer the nearest suitable option.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance during collection and delivery, and our facility is protected by public liability cover. For long-term storage, we discuss appropriate cover levels based on the replacement value of your goods. In many cases, customers choose to supplement our standard cover with additional insurance, either through us or via their own provider. We will explain exactly what is and is not covered in plain language, so you can make an informed decision and ensure your possessions are properly protected for the duration.
What is included in a professional long-term storage service?
A professional service includes collection from your property, careful loading, transport, secure storage at our Crews Hill facility and eventual redelivery when you are ready. We provide protective blankets and basic wrapping as standard, and can add full packing, furniture dismantling and specialist materials if required. Your goods are placed into a dedicated unit or container, labelled and inventoried. Access arrangements are agreed up front, and we handle the lifting and logistics so you do not need to hire vans or move heavy items yourself. Everything is managed by trained, professional staff.
How is this different from using a cheap man-and-van or doing it myself?
With a casual man-and-van or DIY approach, you are typically responsible for the packing, lifting, transport and any damage that occurs. Storage may be ad hoc, with limited security or documentation. With us, you benefit from fully insured transport, secure monitored storage, trained teams and a clear paper trail of what is stored. Items are wrapped, stacked and recorded properly, which is crucial when they will be in storage for months or years. You also avoid the risk of injury or damage that can come from inexperienced handling of heavy or fragile goods.
How far in advance should I book long-term storage?
If possible, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, organise the right team and reserve suitable space in our Crews Hill facility. However, we know plans often change, so we do our best to accommodate shorter notice. Even if your dates are uncertain, it is worth getting in touch early so we can discuss options, provide an estimate and pencil in provisional arrangements.
