• Appliances – fridges, freezers, washing machines (drained)
• Boxes of personal belongings, books and clothing
• Home office and business equipment
• Sports equipment, bikes and hobby items

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or email with an outline of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask a few questions about volume, access and any special requirements. Based on this, we’ll provide a clear, no-obligation quotation covering collection, storage and eventual redelivery.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger jobs, we recommend a brief survey. This can be virtual (video call and photos) or onsite in New Malden and nearby. The survey helps us confirm the right size of storage space, number of movers and vehicle size, so there are no surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own items, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our team uses strong boxes, wrapping materials and furniture covers to protect your belongings. We label items clearly so we can locate and return specific pieces if you need partial deliveries during storage.

4. Loading & Transport

On collection day, our fully insured moving team arrives on time, protects floors and banisters where needed, and carefully loads your items. Everything is secured inside our vans using blankets and straps to minimise movement in transit from your New Malden property to our storage facility.

5. Unloading & Placement into Storage

On arrival at the storage facility, we unload methodically, stacking items to maximise space while protecting furniture and fragile boxes. We maintain an inventory so that when you’re ready for redelivery, we can quickly identify and load what you need, whether it’s everything at once or selected items.

Transparent Storage Pricing

Our pricing is straightforward and explained in full before you book. Costs are typically based on:

• Volume of items (space required in storage)
• Collection and redelivery distance from New Malden
• Level of packing help required
• Length of storage period

You’ll receive a written breakdown so you can see what you’re paying for: collection, storage and redelivery. There are no hidden fees, and we’ll always advise if there are ways to reduce costs, such as decluttering or consolidating boxes.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY

Using a professional removals and storage company offers clear advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:

• Trained staff who know how to lift, protect and stack safely
• Goods in transit insurance and secure storage facilities
• Proper packing materials and methods to reduce risk of damage
• Time-saving – no hiring vans, sourcing help or multiple trips
• Accountability – one company responsible from door to store and back again

With us, you’re not just renting a space; you’re getting a complete, managed service from a local New Malden removals specialist.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We take the safety of your belongings seriously. As a professional removals and storage company, we maintain:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect items while being moved between your property and storage
• Public liability cover for work in and around your home or business
• Trained moving teams experienced in handling heavy, awkward and fragile items

We’ll explain the scope of our cover, any limits, and how best to protect very high-value or unusually delicate items.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We handle every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped and covered, boxes are stacked safely, and fragile items are clearly marked. Where possible, we use reusable protective materials and sturdy, recyclable cartons to reduce waste. We also plan our routes sensibly in and around New Malden to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions, while still providing a reliable, punctual service.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House with a Gap in the Chain

If your completion dates don’t line up, we can move your belongings out, store them securely and then deliver to your new home on moving-in day. You avoid rushing and don’t have to live among boxes for weeks.

Office Relocation or Refurbishment

When refurbishing or relocating an office, we can store furniture, IT equipment and files while work is completed. Our team can dismantle and reassemble desks, pack sensitive equipment and return everything to your layout plan.

Urgent or Last-Minute Storage

Sometimes circumstances change quickly – break-ups, urgent landlord requests or last-minute moves. Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-day or next-day collection from New Malden and short-notice storage so you’re not left stuck.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with collection and delivery cost?

Costs depend on how much you’re storing, how long for, and where we’re collecting from and delivering to in relation to New Malden. We typically price by the volume of goods (measured in cubic feet or metres), plus the labour and transport required on collection and redelivery days. Short-term storage for a few items can be surprisingly affordable. We’ll always provide a clear written quotation before you book, with no hidden extras, and we can suggest ways to reduce costs by decluttering or consolidating boxes.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in New Malden?

In many cases, yes. If you need urgent storage due to a sudden change of plans, we’ll do our best to accommodate a same-day or next-day collection, subject to vehicle, team and unit availability. Calling us as early as possible in the day helps. We’ll quickly assess what needs to be stored, check space at our facility, and advise realistic timings. Even for urgent jobs, we still wrap and handle your belongings carefully, and you’ll receive confirmation of your storage arrangements in writing.

Are my belongings insured while in storage and during transport?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they’re being moved between your property and the storage facility, and our storage arrangements include protection for your goods while they’re in our care. We’ll outline the key terms, including any single-item or total value limits, before you book. For particularly high-value items or specialist collections, we may recommend additional cover or a valuation. We also hold public liability insurance, giving you further reassurance whenever we work in your home or business premises.

What’s included in your storage service?

Our standard service includes professional collection from your New Malden property, transport to our secure storage facility, careful unloading, and safe stacking of your items. When you’re ready, we also arrange redelivery back to your new or existing address. You can add optional services such as full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and provision of packing materials. We’re happy to tailor the service – from simply collecting boxed items at the door to a complete pack, move and store solution.

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

A casual man-and-van will usually just move items from A to B, often without formal insurance, trained staff or secure storage. Our service is a full removals and storage solution: we carry proper insurance, use trained teams, provide packing materials and carefully protect your belongings. We also maintain inventories and manage your goods while in storage, so you have a single responsible point of contact. You’re not just hiring a vehicle and driver; you’re choosing a professional company accountable for your possessions from collection to redelivery.

How far in advance should I book storage?

Ideally, book as soon as you know you’ll need storage, particularly during busy moving periods such as summer and month-end. One to two weeks’ notice is usually enough for smaller loads, while larger house or office moves benefit from a little more planning time. That said, we regularly help customers at short notice in New Malden, and we’ll always try to find a solution. Early booking simply gives you more choice of dates and allows us to arrange the most efficient collection and redelivery schedule for you.
