Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Store sofas, beds, wardrobes and white goods during a house move, extension or redecoration. We can collect directly from your home, hold items securely, then deliver them when you are ready.
Renters
If your tenancy dates do not quite line up or you are moving into a smaller place, our flexible storage is ideal. Avoid rushing decisions about what to keep – store your furniture for as long as you need.
Landlords
Need to clear a property between lets, change from furnished to unfurnished, or keep quality items safe while works are carried out? We offer reliable short and long‑term options for landlords and letting agents.
Businesses
Our business furniture storage is perfect for office moves, refurbishments and seasonal overflow. Desks, chairs, meeting room furniture and archive shelving can all be stored securely and accessed when required.
Students
Heading home for the holidays or a year abroad? Store beds, desks, drawers and other bulkier items rather than trying to transport everything back and forth.

- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds

- Wardrobes, drawers, bookcases and shelving

If you are unsure about a particular item, just ask and we will advise.
How Our Furniture Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or email and tell us what you need to store, where from, and for how long. We will ask a few simple questions about volume, access and timing, then provide a clear, no‑obligation quote for storage and any collection/delivery services you require.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger loads, we recommend a short survey. This can be done via video call or a quick visit to your property. It allows us to confirm the exact space required, assess access (stairs, lifts, parking) and plan any special handling for delicate or bulky furniture.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack and prepare your furniture yourself, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our team can disassemble beds and larger items where necessary, wrap furniture in protective materials, and ensure everything is labelled for easy retrieval later.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
On collection day we arrive in a suitable vehicle with all necessary equipment. Our trained crews load your items carefully, using transit blankets, straps and covers. Furniture is then transported directly to our secure Putney storage facility.
5. Secure Storage, Unloading & Future Placement
At the warehouse your furniture is unloaded into your allocated space or container, stacked safely and protected from damage. When you are ready to have your items back, we arrange delivery at a time that suits you and place each piece into the correct room, rebuilding anything we dismantled.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We keep our pricing straightforward. You pay for:
- The storage space you actually need, charged weekly or monthly
- Collection from your property (optional)
- Return delivery from storage (optional)
- Any professional packing or dismantling you request
There are no hidden extras. We explain all costs in writing before you commit, and we can adjust your storage unit size if your needs change. Longer-term storage discounts may be available – ask our team for details.
Why Use Professional Furniture Storage Instead of DIY?
While it can be tempting to use a friend’s garage or a basic man‑and‑van, proper furniture storage has clear advantages:
- Fully insured collection and storage with documented inventory
- Clean, dry, secure facilities designed for furniture
- Professional handling, wrapping and stacking to prevent damage
- Consistent pricing and contracts rather than informal arrangements
- Flexible access and scheduled deliveries when you need your items back
In many cases, the cost difference between DIY options and a professional service is modest, but the reduction in risk and hassle is significant.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your furniture is protected from the moment our team picks it up. We provide:
- Goods in transit insurance while items are being transported
- Public liability cover for work at your property
- Secure, monitored storage facilities
- Trained staff following industry best practice
We will explain the level of cover included as standard and can often arrange higher-value cover on request. All terms are set out clearly for your peace of mind.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item of furniture as if it were our own. Our crews use padded covers, shrink wrap and blankets to protect finishes and fabrics. Sofas and mattresses are stored off the floor where appropriate, and we avoid over‑stacking to prevent pressure damage.
We also take a responsible approach to materials and transport. We reuse sturdy packing materials where safe and hygienic, recycle whenever possible, and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage.
Common Real‑World Uses for Our Furniture Storage
Moving House
Chains fall through, completion dates slip and sometimes the new place simply is not ready. Our furniture storage bridges the gap, allowing you to move out on time without worrying about where everything will go.
Office Relocations & Refits
Businesses often need temporary space for furniture during an office move or refurbishment. We can clear your current premises, hold furniture while works are completed, then deliver and place items into the new layout.
Renovations & Redecoration
Keeping furniture in a property during building work risks dust, paint and accidental damage. Storing items off‑site keeps them clean and safe, and gives tradespeople more space to work efficiently.
Urgent or Last‑Minute Storage
Occasionally things change quickly – a sale completes sooner than expected or a landlord needs a property cleared at short notice. Subject to availability, we can arrange rapid collection and storage to keep your move on track.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Putney cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need and how long you need it for. Smaller loads of a few key pieces are naturally cheaper than storing the contents of a whole property. Collection and delivery, as well as any packing or dismantling, are priced separately so you only pay for what you use. Once we know roughly what you have and the access at your property, we will provide a clear written quote with no hidden fees. Longer-term bookings may qualify for reduced weekly or monthly rates.
Can you provide same‑day or urgent furniture storage?
We can often help with same‑day or next‑day storage in Putney, depending on current availability and the size of your load. If you need urgent storage, contact us as early in the day as you can and we will check our schedules and space. For larger jobs we may need to split collection over more than one visit, but we will always be honest about what is realistically achievable and suggest practical alternatives if required.
Is my furniture insured while in storage?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved, and by our warehouse cover while stored with us, subject to our terms and conditions. Standard limits are usually sufficient for typical households, but if you have particularly high‑value pieces we can discuss additional cover. We will provide full details of what is included, any exclusions, and how to declare higher‑value items so you can make an informed decision about your level of protection.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
At its simplest, our service includes secure, clean storage space for your furniture, with monitored access and professional handling on arrival at the warehouse. Most customers also choose collection from their home or office, where our team loads and protects items using blankets and covers. Optional extras include professional packing, dismantling and reassembly of larger items, and timed redelivery when you are ready. We tailor the service to your situation, so you are never paying for elements you do not need.
How is your service different from a basic man‑and‑van?
A casual man‑and‑van may move items cheaply, but usually does not include secure, dedicated storage or formal insurance. With Storage Putney you get trained staff, proper protective materials, documented storage, and fully insured transport and warehousing. Your furniture goes into a clean, managed facility rather than a random lock‑up or garage. We also provide written quotes, terms and schedules, so you know exactly what to expect and who is responsible at every stage.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
For the best choice of dates and to secure any long‑term rates, we suggest booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy moving periods such as late spring and summer. However, we understand that plans often change at short notice. If you need storage sooner, contact us and we will do our best to fit you in. Even if your dates are not yet fixed, an early conversation helps us plan and gives you realistic options.
