Professional Storage Services in {area}
Our storage is designed to work hand-in-hand with our removals services. Whether you are between properties, renovating, downsizing, relocating your business, or simply decluttering, we offer clean, dry, alarmed facilities with fully insured transport to and from store.
Unlike self-storage where you do everything yourself, our trained team can collect, wrap, inventory, store and redeliver your goods as required. You choose how much help you want – from simple collection and storage through to a complete pack-and-store service.
Who Our Storage Service Is For

Landlords
For landlords managing refurbishments or changeovers, storage keeps existing furniture safe and protected. We can remove items ahead of works and redeliver them when the property is ready, reducing the risk of damage or loss onsite.
Businesses
We support businesses in {area} with office furniture storage, archive storage, stock storage and temporary warehousing during office moves or refits. Our team understands the need for reliability, clear labelling and organised inventories so you can access what you need quickly.

How Our Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact Removal Van Surrey with details of what you need to store, your location in {area}, and your likely timescales. We ask a few questions about volume, access and any special requirements, then provide a clear written quotation outlining storage costs, collection, delivery and any optional packing services.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger amounts, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to accurately assess how much storage you need, plan parking and access, and identify any fragile or bulky items. An accurate survey helps keep your costs fair and ensures move day runs smoothly, with the right size vehicle and team.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our trained crews use quality cartons, wrapping paper and export-grade bubble wrap where needed. Furniture is protected with padded covers and, if appropriate, disassembled for safer storage. Everything is clearly labelled with your name and inventory details.
4. Loading & Transport to Store
On collection day, our professional removals team arrives at the agreed time, protects floors and access routes, and carefully loads your goods. Items are blanket-wrapped, secured in the vehicle and transported directly to our storage facility. On arrival, containers or units are sealed and recorded against your account.
5. Storage, Unloading & Placement
Your belongings are unloaded into secured storage containers or individual units within our facility. We keep a clear inventory, so when you are ready for redelivery, we know exactly what to bring out. On redelivery, we place items into the rooms you specify, reassemble furniture we dismantled, and remove any packing materials we supplied.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Storage costs are typically based on:
- The volume of goods (measured in cubic feet or metres)
- The length of time in store (weekly or monthly rates)
- Whether you require collection, delivery and packing
- Any special handling or extra-large items
Your quotation will separate storage charges from removal and packing so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden fees; any additional services are always agreed in advance.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Basic Man-and-Van?
Using a professional removals and storage company in {area} offers several advantages over hiring a man-and-van or doing it all yourself:
- Trained staff who know how to handle, wrap and stack items safely
- Purpose-built, secure facilities rather than makeshift garages or sheds
- Goods in transit insurance and proper documentation
- Correct equipment – blankets, straps, trolleys and specialist covers
- Reduced risk of damage, injury and vehicle issues
While DIY options may appear cheaper initially, the cost of damage, replacement or personal injury can quickly outweigh any savings.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As an established removals and storage company, we take our responsibilities seriously. Our services include:
- Goods in transit insurance while your items are being moved between your property and the store
- Public liability cover for work carried out at your home or business
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling fragile, bulky and high-value items
We are happy to explain the scope of our cover, and you are welcome to arrange additional insurance if you have particularly high-value goods or specific policy requirements.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Floors, doors and bannisters are protected during collection and delivery, furniture is wrapped, and boxes are stacked to avoid crushing. In storage, your items are kept in clean, dry, ventilated conditions.
We are also mindful of sustainability. Wherever possible, we reuse robust cartons, recycle materials responsibly, and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. Choosing professional storage can also help extend the life of your furniture and equipment by keeping it in better conditions than a damp garage or loft.

Businesses use our storage during office moves, refurbishments or downsizing. We can remove surplus desks, chairs, filing and IT equipment, hold them in store, and return or dispose of them responsibly according to your plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage with Removal Van Surrey cost?
Storage costs depend on how much you need to store, how long for and whether you require collection and redelivery. We usually base prices on the volume of goods and a weekly or monthly rate, with clear charges for removals and any packing services. Smaller loads such as student belongings are often surprisingly affordable, especially when shared with friends. Once we know your requirements in {area}, we provide a detailed written quotation so you can see exactly what’s included before you commit.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in {area}?
Subject to availability, we can often help with same-day or short-notice storage, particularly for smaller loads or single-property collections. If you’re facing an urgent situation – such as a last-minute completion, emergency works or an unexpected change of plans – call us as early as possible. We will check vehicle and space availability, then advise what we can do that day and what may need to follow later. Flexibility is part of our service, and we always try to find a practical, safe solution.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them between your property and our storage facility. Once in store, our standard cover applies subject to policy terms and conditions, which we are happy to explain in plain language. For particularly high-value or specialist items, you may wish to arrange additional cover through your own insurer. We’ll provide accurate inventories and documentation to support this. Our storage facilities also benefit from physical security measures to reduce risk in the first place.
What is included in your storage service?
Our storage service typically includes secure, clean space for your goods, basic inventorying, and standard handling into and out of store. Most clients also combine storage with our removals service, so we collect and redeliver items using our own vehicles and professional crews. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of boxes and packing materials, and dismantling and reassembly of furniture. Your quotation will clearly show which services are included as standard and which are optional, allowing you to choose the level of help that best suits your needs and budget.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A man-and-van usually provides transport only, with limited protection and no dedicated storage facility. By contrast, we offer integrated removals and storage with trained staff, proper wrapping materials, inventories and secure, purpose-built storage. We also carry appropriate public liability and goods in transit insurance, and follow professional standards for handling and stacking. This significantly reduces the risk of damage or dispute. If you value peace of mind, accountability and consistent quality, a professional removals and storage company is generally the safer, more reliable choice.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For planned moves and refurbishments, we recommend booking as soon as you know your approximate dates, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This helps us guarantee space in our {area} facility and allocate the right team and vehicle. That said, we understand that circumstances can change, and we’ll always do our best to accommodate shorter notice where possible. If your dates are uncertain, we can provisionally reserve capacity and confirm nearer the time, adjusting the plan as your situation becomes clearer.
