Furniture Storage Southfields
At Storage Southfields we provide secure, flexible furniture storage solutions for homes and businesses across Southfields and the surrounding areas. Whether you are moving house, renovating, downsizing or clearing office space, we collect, protect, store and return your furniture with minimum disruption and maximum care.
Professional Furniture Storage in Southfields
Our service is built around safe handling, secure facilities and clear communication. As a local Southfields company, we understand the area’s housing stock, access issues, parking restrictions and typical storage needs. That means practical advice, realistic timings and a smooth experience from collection to redelivery.
All storage moves are carried out by our own trained, uniformed teams, using purpose-built vehicles and quality materials. Your items are loaded into dedicated, sealed storage units and held in a modern alarmed warehouse, protected by CCTV and controlled access systems.
Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, redecorating or extending your home, temporary furniture storage can keep bulky items safe and out of the way. We can store complete room sets or your entire household contents while you complete your project or wait for completion dates to line up.
Renters
Between tenancies or moving into a smaller property? We offer flexible, rolling storage with no long-term tie-ins, so you can keep furniture you care about without cluttering your new place. We collect directly from flats or houses, even with difficult access or limited parking.
Landlords
Landlords use our furniture storage to hold part-furnished or fully furnished contents between lets, or while refurbishing properties. We can label and inventory items by property, making it easy to return the correct pieces when your next tenancy begins.
Businesses
From spare office desks and chairs to reception furniture and display units, our storage service helps businesses free up space without disposing of valuable assets. We can schedule collections outside normal hours to minimise disruption, and provide return deliveries to single or multiple sites.
Students
Students in Southfields and nearby universities use our storage over the summer or during placements. Store beds, desks, wardrobes and boxes while you are away, then have everything delivered back when term starts. Sharing with friends is welcome to keep costs down.
What We Can Store
We can safely store most household and office furniture, including:
- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
- Beds, mattresses and bedroom furniture
- Wardrobes, chests of drawers and bedside tables
- Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
- Office desks, cabinets, meeting tables and seating
- Bookshelves, TV units and occasional furniture
- Garden furniture (clean and dry)
- Boxed household items and small appliances packed appropriately
What We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items cannot be placed into our storage units:
- Perishable goods, food or plants
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including paint, fuel, gas bottles, chemicals)
- Illegal items or anything obtained unlawfully
- Live animals or any living creatures
- Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise before your collection so there are no surprises on the day.
How Our Furniture Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with a list of the furniture you need to store, your addresses and preferred dates. We then provide a clear written estimate based on the volume, access and length of storage required. Our quotes are transparent and detail what is included, so you can budget with confidence.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger jobs or complete households, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to measure accurately, check access (stairs, lifts, parking) and identify any special handling requirements. The survey ensures we allocate the right size storage, correct number of staff and suitable vehicle.
3. Packing & Preparation
On collection day, our professional team can either handle the packing for you or work with your pre-packed items. We carefully wrap furniture in padded blankets and use mattress bags, sofa covers and export-grade wrap where needed. Dismantling and reassembly of beds, tables and wardrobes can be included if requested.
4. Loading & Transport
Your items are loaded systematically, with heavy and bulky pieces secured first. Everything is inventoried and labelled to match your storage unit. The vehicle is then locked and driven directly to our secure Southfields storage facility, covered by goods in transit insurance throughout the journey.
5. Unloading, Storage & Redelivery
At our warehouse, we load your belongings into individual units. Units are sealed and stored in clean, dry conditions. When you are ready for your furniture back, we arrange a convenient delivery date, unload into your new property and place items in the rooms you choose, reassembling agreed items as required.
Transparent Furniture Storage Pricing
We aim to keep pricing straightforward and fair. Costs are typically made up of:
- Collection and delivery charges – based on time, distance, access and size of team required
- Storage fees – a weekly or monthly rate depending on the volume of furniture and length of stay
- Optional packing services – if you prefer us to pack smaller items and fragile pieces
There are no hidden extras. All potential charges are explained in advance, and we are happy to compare options (for example, partial vs full packing, or short vs longer-term storage) so you can choose what best suits your budget.
Why Use Professional Storage Movers Instead of DIY or Man-and-Van?
Storing furniture is more than simply finding a unit and loading a van. Using a professional storage and removals company brings several advantages:
- Safety – trained teams know how to lift, carry and stack furniture to avoid damage and injury.
- Protection – we use proper wrapping, padded covers and securing methods to keep items in good condition.
- Reliability – booked time slots, written confirmations and full contact details give you peace of mind.
- Insurance – your goods are covered, which is rarely the case with casual man-and-van operators.
- Efficiency – we work quickly and systematically, saving you multiple trips and days of labour.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Storage Southfields operates to recognised industry standards and backs this up with robust insurance cover:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your belongings while being moved between your property and our warehouse.
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property while our team is working on-site.
- Trained moving teams who are experienced in handling high-value, delicate and bulky furniture.
We can provide copies of insurance certificates and terms on request, and are always happy to explain how cover applies to your specific move and storage period.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your furniture as if it were our own. Items are wrapped, padded and secured to minimise movement and prevent scuffs or dents. Cleanliness is monitored in our storage areas, and we regularly inspect units for moisture and dust.
We also take a responsible approach to materials and waste. Where possible we use reusable padded blankets, durable sofa and mattress covers and recyclable cardboard cartons. Any packaging we supply is chosen for both protection and environmental impact. When clients no longer need certain items, we can recommend local charities or recycling routes to reduce landfill.
Real-World Furniture Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Chain delays or overlapping dates can leave you with nowhere to put your furniture for a few days or weeks. Our combined removals and storage service means we can collect from your current home, store items safely, then deliver to your new address when contracts complete.
Office Relocation and Refits
During an office move, you may decide to phase in new furniture while keeping existing desks and chairs as backup. We store surplus items, then return them to the new site if needed, or hold them long term until you decide whether to reuse or dispose of them.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Circumstances change quickly – a sudden job move, urgent property sale or unexpected works can mean you need furniture out of the way fast. Subject to availability, we can arrange short-notice collections, place items straight into storage and then work with you to plan a more relaxed redelivery timetable.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Southfields cost?
The cost depends on three main factors: the volume of furniture, the length of storage and the access/handling required at your address. Smaller loads stored for a few weeks will be cheaper than a full household stored for several months. We provide a clear written quote that breaks down collection, storage and redelivery, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras, and we are happy to suggest ways to keep costs down, such as decluttering before collection or sharing storage between addresses.
Can you provide same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where our schedule allows, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice collections in Southfields and nearby areas. This is particularly useful if a sale completes faster than expected or unexpected works mean you must clear rooms quickly. Calling as early in the day as possible gives us the best chance of finding a solution. While we cannot guarantee availability for every emergency, we will always be honest about what we can do and offer the nearest practical timeslot if same-day is not achievable.
Are my items insured while in storage?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by goods in transit insurance during collection and delivery, and by our storage insurance while held in our warehouse, subject to policy terms and declared values. We will explain the level of cover included as standard and options for higher-value items if needed. Although we take great care to prevent damage or loss, this insurance provides additional peace of mind. Full details are provided with your booking, and we are happy to answer any specific questions about cover limits and exclusions.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
Our standard service includes professional collection from your property, protective wrapping of furniture, transport to our secure facility, loading into a dedicated storage unit and redelivery to your new or existing address when you are ready. We also provide basic inventory labelling so items are easy to identify. Optional extras include full packing of smaller items, dismantling and reassembling larger pieces and out-of-hours services for businesses. We will tailor the service to suit your needs and confirm exactly what is included in your quote.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with limited protection, no dedicated storage facility and little or no insurance. Our service is designed specifically for safe, long-term furniture storage. We use trained staff, high-quality materials, dedicated storage units and structured processes. Your items are wrapped, inventoried, insured and stored in a clean, monitored warehouse. We also provide written agreements, confirmed schedules and clear communication throughout. For valuable furniture and longer storage periods, this level of professionalism significantly reduces risk and inconvenience.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking one to three weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as late spring and summer. However, we understand that property timelines can change, so we remain as flexible as possible. If your dates are uncertain, we can provisionally hold a slot and confirm nearer the time. For urgent requirements, contact us as soon as you know you need storage and we will check our schedule to see what we can accommodate.
