Who Our Household Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, staging your property, or renovating, household storage is ideal for removing excess furniture, seasonal items and personal possessions. Clear space makes building work easier and viewings more appealing while your belongings remain safe and dry.
Renters
Between tenancies or moving into a smaller rental? Store surplus furniture, appliances and boxes with us instead of rushing to sell or give them away. Our flexible terms mean you only pay for the space and time you need.
Landlords
Landlords often need storage when refurbishing a property, changing from furnished to unfurnished, or holding furniture between lets. Our secure units are ideal for beds, sofas, white goods and inventories while work is carried out.
Businesses
Local businesses use our household storage services for overflow furniture, filing, marketing stands, event equipment and stock that does not need daily access. It is often more cost‑effective than holding onto excess office or retail space.
Students
Students in Nunhead and nearby universities can avoid hauling belongings home every holiday. Store boxes, bikes, kitchenware and bedding with us over the summer or gap year, ready for your return.

- Illegal items or stolen goods

How Our Household Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Storage Nunhead by phone or online and tell us what you need to store, your location and timescales. We will recommend a suitable unit size and transport option, then provide a clear, no‑obligation quotation outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves or whole‑house clearances, we can arrange a quick virtual or onsite survey. This lets us assess access (stairs, parking, lifts), volume of goods and any special handling needs. It means we send the right vehicle, team and packing materials on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or choose our professional packing service. Our team uses quality cartons, bubble wrap and protective covers for furniture, ensuring items are secure for transport and storage. We label clearly so you can easily identify items later.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our professional movers arrive on time, protect floors and doorways where needed, and carefully load your items onto our vehicle. Everything is secured for transit and taken directly to our storage facility, reducing handling and risk.
5. Storage, Unloading & Placement
At our depot, your goods are unloaded into a dedicated, locked unit or container. We stack intelligently to maximise space while protecting fragile items and furniture. When you are ready, simply book a redelivery; we bring everything back to your home or new address in the same careful manner.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in clear and predictable pricing. Our household storage costs are based on:
- Volume or unit size required
- Length of storage term
- Collection and redelivery distance from Nunhead
- Optional services such as packing, materials and dismantling/reassembly
There are no hidden charges – we outline all costs in writing before you book. Longer‑term storage and regular business users may qualify for preferential rates. You are free to extend or reduce your storage term subject to availability.
Why Choose Professional Storage over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using a professional storage and removals company offers several advantages:
- Fully insured – your goods are protected under our goods in transit and storage cover
- Trained teams – correct lifting, stacking and securing to prevent damage
- Purpose‑built storage – dry, secure, monitored facilities rather than garages or sheds
- Reliable scheduling – confirmed dates and times, with proper paperwork and receipts
- Support and advice – honest guidance on how much space you really need
A casual man‑and‑van may be cheaper initially, but often lacks adequate insurance, protection materials and secure storage, increasing the risk of damage or loss.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Storage Nunhead operates to high professional standards to safeguard your belongings:
- Goods in transit insurance protecting items while being moved to and from storage
- Appropriate storage cover for goods whilst held in our facility (subject to terms and declared values)
- Public liability cover for work undertaken at your property
- Trained and vetted staff following safe handling procedures
- Clear, written terms and conditions so you know exactly what is covered
We are happy to explain the limits of cover and advise if you need additional insurance for particularly high‑value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped or covered, mattresses are protected, and fragile items are packed securely. We minimise handling by loading directly into purpose‑designed vehicles and unloading straight into your unit.
Where possible, we use reusable crates, blankets and durable materials to reduce waste. Cardboard and plastics are recycled, and we constantly review routes to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions across Nunhead and surrounding areas.
Real-World Uses for Our Household Storage
Moving House
When completion dates do not align or you are downsizing, temporary storage keeps everything safe until you are ready. We can combine removal and storage into one seamless service.
Office or Home Office Relocation
Businesses and remote workers often need to hold furniture, IT equipment and documents while new premises are prepared. Our secure storage provides a tidy, organised solution.
Urgent or Same-Week Moves
Life does not always run to plan. If you need to vacate quickly due to a sale, tenancy change or emergency repairs, we can often arrange rapid collection and short‑notice storage, subject to availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does household storage in Nunhead cost?
Pricing depends mainly on how much space you need, how long you store for, and whether you require collection and redelivery. Smaller units for a few boxes and bits of furniture cost far less than a full household clearance. Once we know an approximate inventory and your dates, we provide a clear written quotation with no hidden extras. Longer‑term bookings and business customers may receive discounted rates. We are always happy to talk through options to help you choose the most economical solution for your situation.
Can you offer same-day or urgent household storage?
In many cases we can arrange same‑day or short‑notice storage, particularly for smaller loads and local collections within Nunhead and nearby areas. Availability depends on current unit capacity and vehicle schedules, so the sooner you contact us, the better we can help. If we cannot reach you the same day, we will normally offer the earliest possible slot and advise on how to prepare your items in the meantime. We always do our best to accommodate urgent situations such as last‑minute tenancy changes or emergency repairs.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved, and by our storage cover while held at our facility, subject to our terms and policy limits. During the quotation stage we will ask about any particularly high‑value items so we can ensure adequate cover or advise if top‑up insurance is sensible. We also take great care with packing, loading and stacking to minimise the risk of damage in the first place. Full details of cover, exclusions and claim procedures are provided in writing before you book.
What is included in your household storage service?
Our standard service includes provision of secure storage space, basic handling into your unit at the depot and access by appointment. Most customers also combine this with our collection and redelivery service, where our professional team comes to your property, loads your items safely and transports them to and from storage. Optional extras include packing materials, full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and specialist protection for delicate items. We tailor the service to your needs and clearly explain what is and is not included in your quote.
How is professional storage different from a cheap man-and-van?
A casual man‑and‑van may simply move your items from A to B, often with limited or no insurance, basic equipment and no dedicated storage facility. By contrast, Storage Nunhead provides secure, monitored units, fully insured transport, trained staff and proper documentation. We use suitable vehicles, protective materials and safe handling methods to reduce the risk of damage. You also have a clear contract, predictable costs and a local point of contact. For most people, this level of protection and reliability far outweighs the small savings of a purely budget option.
How far in advance should I book household storage?
Where 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 schedule vehicles, reserve an appropriately sized unit and, if needed, carry out a survey. That said, we regularly help customers on shorter notice and will always try to accommodate urgent requests. If your dates are uncertain, we can pencil in provisional slots and firm them up once your plans are confirmed, keeping your move and storage as smooth as possible.
