Local Expertise in Tower Hill
We know Tower Hill and the surrounding London City postcodes inside out. That local knowledge matters when arranging access, parking, and timed collections around busy streets, loading bays and restricted zones. Our team is used to working in period properties, modern apartments, shared buildings and commercial premises across Tower Hill, so we plan carefully to minimise disruption and keep your move into storage straightforward.
Who Our Long-Term Storage Is For
Homeowners
If you are renovating, downsizing or selling and want to declutter before viewings, long-term storage lets you keep furniture, heirlooms and seasonal items safe until you need them again. We regularly store full house contents for customers moving abroad or waiting on a chain.
Renters
For renters between tenancies or relocating for work, we offer cost-effective storage so you do not have to move everything multiple times. We can collect from your flat, store for several months and deliver to your new address when you are ready.
Landlords
Landlords use our long-term storage to retain quality furniture, white goods and fixtures between lets, particularly for short lets and serviced accommodation. It is a practical way to protect your assets while you refresh or refurbish a property.
Businesses
We support local businesses around Tower Hill with long-term storage for archives, documents, stock, spare furniture, exhibition equipment and seasonal displays. This frees up valuable commercial space and can be more economical than taking on a larger lease.
Students
Students heading home for summer or on placement can keep their belongings safely stored rather than carting everything across the country. We offer compact unit options ideal for boxes, luggage, bikes and small furniture.

How Our Long-Term Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or via our online form with a brief description of what you need to store and for how long. We will discuss your requirements, access at your property and whether you need collection and packing. You will receive a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves into long-term storage, we recommend a survey. This can be done by video call or onsite at your home or office. The survey allows us to estimate volume accurately, select the right unit size and plan access, parking and timings so move day runs smoothly.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack yourself, or choose our professional packing service. Our trained team use double-walled boxes, wrapping paper, bubble wrap and furniture covers to protect your belongings. Items for long-term storage are packed with particular care, with clear labelling so you can easily identify contents when you need them again.
4. Loading & Transport
On the agreed day, our removals crew arrive on time, protect floors where required, and carefully load your items onto our vehicles. Everything is secured for transit. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we transport them to our Tower Hill storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At our facility, we unload and place your items into your allocated storage unit, stacking safely to maximise space while protecting delicate pieces. We can create an inventory on request. Your unit is then locked and monitored, ready for long-term storage until you arrange collection or redelivery.
Pricing: How We Charge for Long-Term Storage
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Costs are typically made up of:
- Storage unit rental – charged monthly, based on the size of unit you require
- Collection and transport – if we collect from your property, priced according to volume, distance and access
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Optional insurance top-ups for high-value items
Longer storage periods can attract reduced monthly rates. We will always recommend the most cost-effective unit size rather than upselling unnecessary space. There are no hidden admin fees; all charges are stated clearly in writing before you book.
Why Choose Professional Long-Term Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using a professional storage and removals company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van service:
- Trained teams who know how to pack and stack for long-term protection
- Appropriate lifting equipment and vehicles, reducing risk of damage or injury
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for peace of mind
- Purpose-built, secure storage units rather than improvised garages or sheds
- Reliable booking, written paperwork and clear point of contact
DIY options often seem cheaper at first, but repeated van hire, unplanned damage, and poor storage conditions can end up costing more over the months and years.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a responsible operator in Tower Hill, we work to recognised industry standards and take protection seriously:
- Goods in transit insurance while your items are being moved in our vehicles
- Public liability cover for work at your property and at our facilities
- Trained and vetted staff, experienced in handling fragile and bulky items
- Clear terms and conditions so you know exactly what is covered
Additional cover can be arranged for particularly valuable items. We are always happy to talk through the level of protection that is sensible for your situation.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle every item with care, from everyday furniture to sentimental belongings. Protective blankets, mattress covers and sofa covers are used as standard when we move you into storage. Boxes are stacked responsibly, avoiding crushing or warping over time.
We also work to reduce our environmental impact. Where possible, we reuse strong packing cartons, recycle materials, and plan routes efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage. For customers who want a more sustainable move, we can supply reusable crates as an alternative to single-use boxes.
Real-World Uses for Our Long-Term Storage
Moving House
If your sale completes before your purchase or you are waiting on a new build, we can store your entire property contents securely for as long as needed, then redeliver on completion day.
Office Relocation
Businesses moving within or into Tower Hill often need staged moves. We can hold non-essential furniture, archived files and surplus stock in long-term storage while you fit out new premises.
Urgent or Unexpected Situations
Life does not always run to plan. Whether it is an urgent move-out, flood or fire damage, or sudden relocation, we will do our best to arrange rapid collection and safe storage so you have one less thing to worry about.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does long-term storage in Tower Hill cost?
Pricing depends mainly on how much space you need and for how long. Smaller units suitable for a few boxes and suitcases cost considerably less than units for full house or office contents. We charge monthly, with discounts sometimes available for longer commitments. Collection, packing and redelivery are priced separately, based on volume, distance and access. Once we understand what you need to store, we will provide a clear written quotation with a breakdown of charges, so you can see exactly what you are paying for and adjust the unit size if required.
Can you offer same-day or urgent long-term storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage in Tower Hill. If you have an urgent situation – such as a last-minute completion date or unexpected tenancy change – contact us as early as possible in the day. We will check unit availability, vehicle schedules and staffing, then confirm what we can do. While same-day slots cannot be guaranteed during very busy periods, we will always try to find a practical solution, even if that means a part-load collection initially, followed by a full move into storage shortly afterwards.
Are my belongings insured while in long-term storage?
Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them between your property and our Tower Hill facility. Once stored, our buildings are protected by security measures, but the level of insurance for items in storage varies depending on your policy and any top-up cover you choose. Many customers use a combination of our cover and their own home or business insurance. We will explain exactly what is included as standard and offer optional additional cover for higher-value items, so you can make an informed decision about the level of protection you are comfortable with.
What is included in your long-term storage service?
At its simplest, our service includes a secure, dry storage unit in Tower Hill for as long as you need, with monitored access and flexible contract lengths. Most customers also add our collection and transport, so we collect from your home or office and move everything into storage for you. Optional extras include professional packing, supply of boxes and protective materials, creation of an inventory, and final redelivery when you are ready. We tailor the service to your circumstances, so you can choose a basic storage-only arrangement or a complete end-to-end solution.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with limited paperwork and little or no insurance, and they normally drop your items wherever you ask. We provide a structured service: trained staff, appropriate vehicles, goods in transit insurance, secure long-term storage facilities and clear contracts. We also advise on packing, unit size and access, and we remain accountable for your belongings throughout their time in our care. For short, simple moves a man-and-van can be adequate, but for long-term storage and higher-value items, a professional provider offers far greater security and peace of mind.
How far in advance should I book long-term storage?
Ideally, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you require collection, packing or are moving a full household or office. This allows us to carry out a survey if needed, reserve the right unit size and schedule a crew and vehicle for your preferred date. However, we understand plans can change quickly, so we will always try to accommodate shorter notice bookings where capacity allows. The more information you can provide early on, the easier it is for us to secure the best option and avoid any rush charges or compromises on timing.
