Our Short-Term Storage Process
We keep the process straightforward and fully explained from the outset.
1. Enquiry & Quotation
Contact us by phone or online and tell us what you need to store, where you are in London and for how long. We will ask a few questions about volume, access and timing. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger volumes or more complex access, we arrange a short video or onsite survey. This allows us to estimate the space required accurately, plan vehicle sizes and confirm any special handling (for pianos, large wardrobes, or office equipment). This step ensures there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our teams use sturdy cartons, protective wrap, furniture blankets and specialist covers to keep items safe during handling and storage. Everything is labelled and inventoried so we know exactly what is in your storage unit.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
On the agreed date, our professional, fully insured crews arrive, protect flooring and key areas, then carefully load your belongings onto our vehicles. Items are securely strapped and padded for transport to our storage facility. We handle all the heavy lifting, so you do not have to.
5. Unloading, Storage & Return
At the facility, your belongings are unloaded into a clean, dry, monitored storage unit. When you are ready, we arrange redelivery to your new address or back to your property. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify, making it easier for you to settle back in.
Transparent Short-Term Storage Pricing
We aim to keep pricing easy to understand. The cost of short-term storage typically includes:
- Collection and loading from your address
- Weekly or monthly storage fee based on the space required
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Redelivery and unloading at the end of the storage period
Prices vary with volume, access conditions and duration. We explain all charges clearly in writing, so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden extras for standard services, and we are happy to discuss ways to keep costs efficient, such as consolidating deliveries or adjusting storage space.
Why Choose Professional Short-Term Storage Over DIY
Using a professional removals and storage company offers several advantages over managing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van service:
- Expert handling – trained teams know how to wrap, lift and stack items safely to minimise damage.
- Proper protection – we supply quality packing materials and use protective equipment in transit and storage.
- Insured service – your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance and public liability cover.
- Secure facility – monitored storage with controlled access, not a random lock-up or garage.
- Reliable scheduling – confirmed times, written agreements and a team that turns up when promised.
When your possessions or business assets matter, a structured, accountable service is usually more cost-effective than taking risks with unregulated alternatives.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Storage Eden Park operates to clear standards designed to protect you and your belongings.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while being moved between your property and the storage facility.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property during our work.
- Trained moving teams – our crews receive practical training in lifting, packing, loading, and customer care.
- Documented inventories – we keep records of what goes into storage and in which unit.
We are happy to explain policy limits and options for additional cover if you are storing particularly high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own, paying attention to both safety and environmental impact.
- Use of blankets, covers and wrap to prevent scuffs, dents and dust.
- Thoughtful stacking to avoid crushing or warping furniture and boxes.
- Reusable crates and recycled packaging where appropriate to cut waste.
- Route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions across London.
Our goal is to return your items in the same condition we collected them, while operating in a way that is responsible and sustainable.
Real-World Short-Term Storage Use Cases
Moving House with a Gap Between Dates
Completion dates do not always align. We regularly store full house contents for a week or a month while clients wait for keys to their new property. We collect from the old home, hold everything securely, then deliver to the new address on moving-in day.
Office Refurbishment or Relocation
Businesses often need to clear space for refurbishment, new flooring or a phased office move. We pack and store desks, chairs, files and equipment short term, enabling contractors to work efficiently, then return everything when the project is complete.
Urgent or Unexpected Situations
Floods, leaks, last-minute tenancy changes and urgent relocations can all create a sudden need for storage. Subject to availability, we can arrange rapid collection and short-term storage, giving you breathing space to resolve the situation without rushing decisions about your belongings.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does short-term storage cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you store for, and whether you want collection and redelivery included. We normally charge a collection fee, a weekly or monthly storage rate per unit or per cubic foot, and a redelivery fee at the end. Packing materials and packing services are optional extras. Once we know roughly what you have and your dates, we provide a clear written quote with all charges itemised, so you can budget with confidence and avoid unexpected add-ons.
Can you offer same-day or urgent short-term storage?
In many cases we can help at short notice, including same-day or next-day storage in London, depending on availability of vehicles, crews and units. If you have an urgent situation, call us as early as possible with details of your location, volume and deadlines. We will explain what we can realistically do, confirm timings and provide costs before you commit. Where we cannot meet the exact time you want, we will offer the closest workable option and keep communication clear throughout.
Are my belongings insured while in short-term storage?
Yes. Your items are covered under our standard goods in transit insurance while being moved and under our storage cover while in our facility, subject to policy terms and limits. We will explain what is included and the maximum values covered as part of your quotation. For particularly high-value or specialist items, you may wish to arrange additional cover through your own insurer, and we can provide any documentation they require. Our public liability cover also protects against accidental damage to third-party property during our work.
What is included in your short-term storage service?
Our standard service can include collection from your property, careful loading, transport to our secure facility, short-term storage in a clean, dry, monitored unit, and redelivery when you are ready. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you choose on return. Optional extras include packing materials, a professional packing service and dismantling or reassembly of certain furniture. We will always set out clearly in writing what is and is not included, so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
We provide a structured, accountable service with trained staff, secure storage facilities and proper insurance cover. A casual man-and-van may move items from A to B, but often without written agreements, inventories or fully insured protection. We carry out surveys where needed, use quality packing materials, maintain consistent standards and operate under clear terms and conditions. For short-term storage, this means your belongings are handled, tracked and stored professionally, reducing the risk of damage, loss or disputes later on.
How far in advance should I book short-term storage?
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer. This gives us time to arrange surveys if required and secure the right size unit for your belongings. However, we understand that storage needs can arise suddenly, and we always do our best to accommodate last-minute bookings. If your dates are not yet fixed, we can provide an indicative quote and hold provisional availability where possible.
