We regularly support customers in Nunhead, Peckham, Brockley, New Cross, East Dulwich, and wider South East London. Whether you live in a top-floor flat, a terraced house with tight staircases, or you run a business on a busy high street, we’re used to working around local challenges.

Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Perfect if you are renovating, extending, redecorating, or in a chain and need to bridge the gap between sale and completion. We can remove selected items or clear full rooms, store everything securely, and return it when you’re ready.

Renters

Ideal if you are between tenancies, downsizing, or moving abroad for a period. We can store bulky furniture that won’t fit your new place but you’re not ready to part with, keeping it safe until your situation is settled.

Landlords

We help landlords store existing furniture during refurbishments, safety works, or change of use. We can also hold items while you decide whether to let furnished or unfurnished, so you keep your options open.

Businesses

Office moves, refits, or a shift to hybrid working often leave you with surplus desks, chairs, filing cabinets, and stock. Our business furniture storage gives you a secure, flexible buffer so you don’t have to rush decisions or crowd your new premises.

Students

If you are heading home for the summer or going on placement, we can store your bed, wardrobe, desk, and other large items so you don’t have to move everything back and forth or start again each term.

What We Can and Cannot Store

Items Typically Included

We can safely store most household and office furniture, including:

• Sofas, armchairs, and sofa beds
• Beds, mattresses, wardrobes, and chests of drawers
• Dining tables, chairs, sideboards, and bookcases
• Office desks, task chairs, filing cabinets, and shelving
• TV units, coffee tables, and occasional furniture
• Flat-packed or partially dismantled furniture

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal, and hygiene reasons, we do not store:

• Perishable or open food items
• Flammable or hazardous materials (paint, fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals)
• Illegal goods or stolen items
• Live plants, animals, or biological materials
• Cash, jewellery, or high-value documents (these should be kept with you)
• Anything damp, infested, or likely to cause damage to other items

If you are unsure about a particular item, we are happy to advise before collection.

How Our Furniture Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact Storage Nunhead by phone or online with details of what you need to store and for roughly how long. We will ask a few simple questions about access, property type, and item quantities, then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation for collection, storage, and eventual redelivery.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger jobs or full properties, we may recommend a short video or onsite survey. This helps us assess volumes accurately, plan vehicle sizes, and decide whether any items need dismantling. It also lets us identify awkward access, parking, or timing considerations in advance.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the day, our professional team arrives with suitable protective materials. We can provide:

• Blankets and export wrap for delicate surfaces
• Mattress and sofa protectors
• Disassembly and reassembly of certain items where required

You are welcome to prepare some or all items yourself, or we can handle everything as a full packing service for an additional charge.

4. Loading & Transport

Your furniture is carefully carried, loaded, and secured in our vehicles to minimise movement in transit. We label items clearly so we know exactly what is in storage and can easily identify pieces when you are ready for redelivery. Everything is then transported directly to our secure storage facility.

5. Storage, Unloading & Placement on Return

At the facility, your furniture is stored in clean, dry units. When you request redelivery, we schedule a convenient time and bring everything back to your property. Our team will unload and place items into the rooms you specify, reassembling any dismantled furniture where agreed.

Transparent Pricing for Furniture Storage

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no surprises. Your quote will usually include:

• Collection from your property
• Protective wrapping and handling
• Weekly or monthly storage fees based on volume
• Redelivery to your property at the end of the storage period

Costs depend on how much you store, how long for, and the access at both ends. We will always explain the options, including ways to reduce costs (for example, dismantling or decluttering items before storage). There are no hidden charges for standard access and standard hours.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

Storing furniture is not just about finding a spare garage or cheap lock-up. Poor handling, damp, and inadequate security can quickly ruin valuable pieces. Using a professional storage and removals company such as Storage Nunhead means:

• Trained staff who know how to move and protect furniture properly
• Appropriate vehicles, blankets, and covers to prevent damage
• Structured inventories so nothing goes missing or gets mixed up
• Secure facilities instead of unsecured sheds or improvised spaces
• Clear terms, contracts, and insurance support if something goes wrong

Informal man-and-van arrangements may seem cheaper, but often lack insurance, documentation, and consistent standards, leaving you at risk if damage or loss occurs.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your furniture is important, both financially and emotionally. We back up our work with appropriate cover and high standards:

• Goods in transit insurance for your furniture while it is being moved
• Public liability cover for work in and around your property
• Fully insured storage arrangements with controlled access
• Trained teams following established lifting and handling practices

We will outline the level of cover included as standard and explain any optional upgrades, so you can make an informed decision about protecting higher-value pieces.

Care, Protection, and Sustainability

We handle your furniture as if it were our own. Surfaces are covered, corners are protected, and items are stacked carefully to avoid warping or crushing. Where needed, we recommend dismantling larger items to reduce strain on joints and fittings.

We also work with sustainability in mind. We reuse protective materials where safe and hygienic, plan routes to minimise unnecessary mileage, and can connect you with local charities or recycling options if you decide not to keep certain pieces. Extending the life of good-quality furniture is often more sustainable than replacing it.

Real-World Uses of Our Furniture Storage Service

Moving House

Chains fall through, completion dates change, and new homes are not always ready when your old one sells. Using our storage gives you a safe buffer. We can move you out, hold your furniture, and then move you in when the new property is available, keeping your belongings together and protected.

Office Relocations and Refits

During an office move or refurbishment, spare desks and cabinets can get in the way. We collect, store, and return them when your new layout is ready. If you are moving to smaller premises, long-term storage can give you time to decide what to keep without rushing into disposal.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes you need to clear a property quickly: end of tenancy, emergency repairs, or a sudden change of plan. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day collection, move items into storage, and help you stabilise the situation without losing or damaging important furniture.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does furniture storage cost with Storage Nunhead?

The cost depends on three main factors: how much furniture you have, how long you need to store it, and the access at your property. We typically charge a collection fee, a weekly or monthly storage fee based on volume, and a redelivery fee when you want everything back. During your enquiry, we will estimate the space required and provide a clear, itemised quote. There are no hidden extras for standard access, and we’ll happily suggest ways to reduce costs if you are working to a budget.

Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture storage?

In many cases, yes. If we have vehicle and storage capacity available, we can arrange same-day or next-day furniture collection and storage, which is particularly useful for urgent moves, landlord requests, or emergency works. The earlier you contact us, the better the chance we can accommodate your preferred time. For urgent bookings, we recommend calling rather than emailing so we can confirm availability and logistics quickly and give you realistic timescales.

Is my furniture insured while it’s in storage and being moved?

Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being collected and delivered, and our storage arrangements include appropriate cover for items held in our facility. We also maintain public liability cover for work at your property. We’ll explain the standard limits and, if you have particularly high-value pieces, discuss whether additional cover is advisable. Our aim is to ensure you understand exactly how your furniture is protected at every stage.

What’s included in your furniture storage service?

Our standard service includes collection from your property, careful loading by our professional team, transport to our secure facility, and storage in a clean, dry environment. Basic protective blankets and handling are included. When you’re ready, we arrange redelivery and place items into the rooms you indicate. Optional extras include full or partial packing, specialist wrapping for very delicate items, and dismantling or reassembling larger pieces. All inclusions and optional services are clearly shown in your written quotation.

How is your service different from a man-and-van or self-storage?

With us, you are using a structured removals and storage company rather than an ad-hoc transport service. Our trained teams handle your furniture end-to-end, from collection through to redelivery, and we provide fully insured transport and storage. You don’t have to hire a van, find a unit, or do the lifting yourself. Compared with many casual man-and-van outfits, we offer documented quotes, clear terms, and consistent standards, which significantly reduces the risk of damage, loss, or disputes later on.

How far in advance should I book furniture storage?

For planned moves or refurbishments, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-ends. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed and schedule the right size team and vehicle. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. Even if your dates are not fixed, it’s worth getting in touch early so we can pencil you in and advise on options.
