Whether you are between properties, renovating, decluttering or need space for business stock, our local team offers clean, dry and fully insured storage tailored to your needs.

Professional Storage Services in Pimlico

Our storage service is designed to make life easier. We collect your belongings from your home or office, professionally wrap and protect them, transport them to our secure facility, and return them whenever you are ready. You avoid van hire, heavy lifting and the hassle of self-storage while knowing your items are properly handled by trained professionals.

We offer:

• Short-term storage – days or weeks between moves
• Long-term storage – months or more for long trips or surplus furniture
• Student storage – term-time, summer and gap year solutions
• Business storage – archives, furniture, equipment and stock
• Flexible access by arrangement with our office

Local Storage Expertise in Pimlico

Working daily in Pimlico, we understand the challenges of local properties: basement flats, narrow staircases, restricted parking and residents-only bays. Our crews are used to coordinating with building managers, concierge teams and managing access on busy streets so your storage collection or return runs smoothly.

We also know that space is at a premium in Pimlico. Many customers simply do not have room to keep everything at home or on site. Our storage service gives you that extra space without the cost or commitment of upsizing your property or office lease.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you are moving house, staging a property for sale, renovating or downsizing. We can store excess furniture, seasonal items, garden equipment and family heirlooms safely while you get your new home in order.

Renters

If you are between tenancies, moving in with a partner, or relocating temporarily for work, storage gives you a secure place for furniture and personal belongings without rushing into a new long-term rental.

Landlords

We support landlords needing to clear or part-furnish a property between tenants, or store furniture during refurbishment. Our professional team can work to tight turnarounds around check-in and check-out dates.

Businesses

Local offices, shops and small businesses use our storage for archived documents, spare furniture, exhibition materials and surplus stock. It’s especially useful during office refurbishments or when downsizing space in favour of hybrid working.

Students

Students studying in and around central London often need somewhere safe to store belongings outside term time. We offer cost-effective, shared or individual storage options for boxes, clothes, books, bikes and small furniture.

What We Can Store

We handle most household and office items, including:

• Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges (defrosted), microwaves
• Boxes of personal belongings, clothes, books and kitchenware
• IT equipment – computers, monitors, printers (securely wrapped)
• Office furniture and filing systems
• Bikes, sports equipment and hobby collections
• Non-perishable stock and display materials

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot store:

• Perishable food or anything that may attract pests
• Flammable, corrosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles, paints, chemicals and fuels)
• Illegal items or anything prohibited by UK law
• Live plants or animals
• Unregistered firearms, ammunition or explosives
• Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents (these are better in a bank or specialist facility)

If you are unsure about a particular item, please ask – we will advise you honestly to keep your belongings and our facility safe.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact our Pimlico office by phone or email with a brief outline of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few simple questions about the volume and type of items, access at your property and any timing requirements, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger storage jobs, we recommend a short survey. This can often be done virtually via video call or photos, or we can visit your property if needed. The survey allows us to estimate space accurately, plan the correct vehicle and crew, and identify any access issues in advance.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our crews use strong boxes, wrapping paper and export-quality bubble wrap. Furniture is wrapped in padded covers, and fragile items are carefully protected. We label everything clearly so retrieval is straightforward and your belongings are easy to locate later.

4. Loading & Transport

On collection day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and banisters where needed, and carefully carries your belongings to our vehicles. Items are secured for transport to minimise movement. We then take everything straight to our secure storage facility, where it is unloaded and stacked safely.

5. Storage, Unloading & Return

Your goods are stored in clean, dry, well-organised units or storage containers. When you are ready for them back, we arrange a convenient delivery date, load your items and return them to your new or existing address. Our team can also place furniture in the right rooms and reassemble items we dismantled for storage.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our storage costs are usually based on:

• The volume of goods (measured in cubic feet or metres)
• The length of time you need storage
• Collection and redelivery distance from Pimlico
• Any optional services such as packing or furniture assembly

We provide a written quotation that sets out the storage rate, collection and delivery charges, and any additional services. There are no hidden extras. For long-term storage, discounts may be available. We will always explain your options so you can choose what suits your budget and circumstances.

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

Using a professional storage and removals company gives you benefits that DIY or a casual man-and-van simply cannot match:

• Trained crews who know how to handle bulky, heavy and fragile items safely
• Goods in transit insurance and storage cover for added peace of mind
• Specialist equipment such as padded covers, dollies and straps
• Proper inventory and labelling so items do not go missing
• Secure, monitored storage facilities rather than ad hoc garages or sheds
• Compliance with health and safety standards

DIY trips to self-storage often mean multiple journeys, hiring a van, carrying heavy furniture yourself and risking damage or injury. With us, everything is managed end to end, saving you time, effort and potential problems.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a responsible removals and storage company, we maintain strong protections for our customers:

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while being moved between your property and our facility
• Storage insurance – protection for your items while they are in our care
• Public liability cover – in the unlikely event of accidental damage to third-party property or injury
• Trained moving teams – staff are trained in handling, packing and health & safety

We are committed to clear paperwork, honest advice and treating your possessions with the same care we would give our own.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take care seriously at every stage. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are covered, and fragile items receive additional padding. In storage, items are stacked safely to avoid crushing and kept in dry, well-ventilated spaces.

We are also mindful of our environmental responsibilities. Wherever possible, we use reusable crates, durable moving blankets and recyclable packing materials. Cardboard boxes are reused when in good condition and recycled at the end of their life. We plan routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage and fuel use around Pimlico and central London.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

Many clients moving within or out of Pimlico use our storage to bridge the gap between completion dates. We can collect from your old property, store your goods safely, and then deliver to your new home as soon as you get the keys.

Office Relocation or Refurbishment

Businesses refurbishing or relocating their office often need temporary storage for desks, chairs, files and IT equipment. Our team can dismantle, label and store everything, then reinstall it at your new or refurbished premises with minimal disruption.

Urgent or Last-Minute Storage

Sometimes circumstances change quickly – a sale goes through earlier than planned, a tenancy ends unexpectedly, or a renovation overruns. Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-day or next-day collection into storage, helping you avoid panic and giving you time to reorganise.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Pimlico cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need and for how long. We usually price by the cubic foot or metre, with a set weekly or monthly rate. There is also a charge for collection and redelivery, which reflects the crew size, time and distance involved. Optional services such as packing or furniture assembly are quoted separately. Once we have an idea of your volume and dates, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you will pay, with no hidden extras.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?

Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day storage for urgent situations, such as a last-minute completion date or unexpected tenancy change. The more notice you can give us, the better the chance of securing your ideal date and time, but we always do our best to help in emergencies. Call our office as soon as you know you need storage, and we will confirm availability, provide an immediate estimate and talk you through what we can achieve within your timescale.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved, and by storage insurance while they are in our facility, subject to our terms and conditions. This is designed to protect you against major risks such as fire, flood or theft. We will explain the level of cover included and, if necessary, discuss options for higher-value consignments. We always recommend that you keep a simple inventory of stored items and advise us of any particularly valuable pieces so we can ensure they are fully protected.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes collection from your Pimlico address, careful loading, transport to our secure facility, safe storage for the agreed period and redelivery at the end of your term. We supply moving blankets and basic protection for furniture as standard. Additional services such as full or partial packing, supplying boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembling furniture, and out-of-hours collections can be added if required. We will tailor the service to suit your situation so you only pay for what you genuinely need.

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

A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without professional packing, formal insurance or secure storage facilities. In contrast, we provide a complete, managed service using trained moving teams, proper protective equipment and robust insurance cover. Your goods are stored in a monitored, well-maintained environment rather than a makeshift lock-up. We also provide written quotes, clear terms and reliable timings. This means less risk of damage, loss or inconvenience, and a smoother overall experience for both domestic and business customers.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For planned moves or refurbishments, it is best to contact us 2–4 weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, reserve space in our facility and schedule the right crew and vehicle. However, we understand that plans change, and we regularly accommodate shorter notice bookings. Even if your dates are not fixed yet, it is worth speaking to us early so we can pencil you in and advise on availability around your preferred timeframe.
