Professional Storage Services in Hammersmith

Our storage in Hammersmith is fully integrated with our removals service. We collect your items from your property, wrap and protect them, transport them to our secure facility, and deliver them back when you are ready.

We offer:

• Short-term storage between moves, refurbishments or renovations
• Long-term storage for items you do not currently need
• Containerised storage for secure, sealed protection
• Business storage for stock, documents and equipment
• Student storage over holidays or placements

All storage is managed by our trained, professional teams and covered by appropriate insurance for your peace of mind.

Local Hammersmith Expertise

We work across Hammersmith and the wider West London area every day. We understand parking restrictions, access issues in period conversions, narrow staircases and tight timescales between completions.

Because we know the local area so well, we can plan collections and returns efficiently, advise on timings with your removals, and coordinate with your agents, landlords or building managers where needed. Using a local company means faster response times and practical advice that comes from moving and storing items in Hammersmith properties week in, week out.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you are between homes, decluttering for sale, renovating, or downsizing but not ready to part with treasured possessions. We can store furniture, boxes, seasonal items, and more.

Renters

Perfect if your tenancy dates do not line up, you are moving into a furnished property, or you are working away for a period. We collect directly from flats and houses, including upper floors.

Landlords

Use our storage to hold furniture between lets, store appliances during refurbishment, or keep show-home items protected. We can coordinate keys and access with your agents.

Businesses

Suitable for excess stock, archived files, office furniture, seasonal displays, and marketing materials. Our business storage supports office moves, fit-outs and reconfigurations.

Students

If you are heading home for the summer or on placement, our student storage lets you leave boxes, bikes, suitcases and small furniture safely stored until term starts again.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or email with a rough list of what you need stored, your location in Hammersmith and your preferred dates. We will ask a few practical questions about access and any special items, then provide a clear, no-obligation estimate.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex jobs, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volume accurately, check access, and identify any fragile or awkward pieces. The survey helps us choose the right vehicle, storage container size and protective materials, so everything runs smoothly on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or choose our professional packing service. On collection day, our team carefully wraps furniture, covers mattresses and protects delicate items. We label and inventory your goods so we know exactly what has been stored and where it is located.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained movers load your belongings safely onto our vehicles using blankets, straps and specialist equipment where needed. We then transport everything directly to our secure storage facility, minimising handling and reducing the risk of damage.

5. Unloading, Storage & Redelivery

At the facility, your goods are unloaded into secure storage units or containers and positioned for safe, stable stacking. When you are ready, simply contact us to arrange redelivery. We bring your items back to your new address, unload and place them in the rooms you specify.

Transparent Storage Pricing

Our storage prices are based on three main factors:

• The volume of goods (measured in cubic feet or metres)
• The length of time you need storage for
• Collection and redelivery requirements in Hammersmith

You will receive a clear written quotation showing:

• Weekly or monthly storage cost
• Collection and delivery charges
• Optional packing services
• Insurance cover details

There are no hidden extras. If your circumstances change, we can usually adjust storage space and duration, and we will always explain any price changes in advance.

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

Using a casual man-and-van and a cheap self-storage unit can appear cheaper, but often leads to problems: poor packing, inadequate protection, no inventory, and unclear insurance. As a professional removals and storage company we offer:

• Trained staff who understand safe lifting, packing and stacking
• Purpose-built storage with controlled access
• Proper inventories so nothing is overlooked
• Clear contracts and insurance for your goods
• Integrated collection, storage and delivery – one responsible provider

This protects your belongings and saves you time, effort and repeated journeys to a storage unit.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take responsibility for your possessions seriously. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance covering your items while we are collecting or delivering
• Public liability cover for work in and around your property
• Secure, monitored storage facilities
• Trained, uniformed staff following industry-standard handling practices

Full details of cover levels and any limits or exclusions are provided with your quotation. We are always happy to explain these in plain language so you know exactly where you stand.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Our approach is centred on careful handling, sensible protection and reducing waste. We use heavy-duty blankets, export wrap and mattress covers to prevent damage in transit and while in store. Where possible, we reuse durable packing materials and recycle cardboard and plastics responsibly.

By planning loads efficiently and combining local journeys in Hammersmith where practical, we aim to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use. Good planning also means fewer repeat trips for you, cutting both cost and environmental impact.

Real-World Uses for Our Hammersmith Storage

Moving House

Chains fall through, dates change and completion days do not always align. Our storage gives you breathing space, whether it is a few days between keys or several months while you search for the right property.

Office Relocations

Businesses use our storage to hold furniture and equipment during phased moves or refurbishments. We can store surplus desks, filing cabinets and IT equipment, then return them as your new layout is completed.

Urgent and Last-Minute Needs

Sometimes storage is needed quickly: a sudden sale, emergency repairs, or tenants arriving sooner than expected. Subject to availability, we can often arrange urgent collections in Hammersmith, stabilising the situation and giving you time to plan your next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Hammersmith cost?

Storage costs depend on the volume of items, how long you need storage for, and whether you require collection and redelivery. We price per container or per cubic volume, with weekly or monthly rates clearly shown on your quote. Collection and return are charged separately, so you know exactly what you are paying for. For a realistic figure, we recommend a quick discussion or survey so we can assess your items properly and avoid over- or under-estimating the space you need.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?

Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage collections in Hammersmith, particularly for smaller loads. If you have an urgent situation, call us as early as possible with details of your location, access and what needs storing. We will check our vehicle and crew schedules and give you honest feedback on what we can do that day or the next. Even when same-day is not possible, we usually find a practical short-term solution to stabilise things quickly.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Yes. Your items are covered under our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them and by our storage cover while they are in our care, subject to policy terms and limits. We will explain the level of cover included as standard and any options for increased cover if you have particularly high-value items. It is important that you declare any valuable or unusual items so we can ensure they are appropriately recorded and protected. Full insurance details are provided with every quotation.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes collection from your property, protective wrapping of furniture, loading, transport to our secure facility, and safe storage in a suitable unit or container. An inventory is taken so we know exactly what is held. When you are ready, we arrange redelivery, unloading and placement of items in your new home or office. Optional extras include professional packing of boxes and materials supply. We outline everything clearly so you know what is and is not included before you book.

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

With a casual man-and-van and a separate self-storage unit, you are effectively managing two different services yourself, often with limited protection, no inventory and unclear responsibility if something goes wrong. We provide a single, integrated solution: trained staff, professional packing and handling, secure monitored storage, and clear insurance cover. We also manage the logistics end-to-end, so you make one booking and deal with one company. This reduces stress, risk and the likelihood of damage or loss.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For planned moves and refurbishments, we recommend booking storage at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed and schedule the right 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 uncertain, it is worth contacting us early so we can pencil in options and advise on the best approach.
