Secure Storage in Wandsworth with Wandsworth Movers

At Wandsworth Movers, we provide secure, flexible storage solutions in and around Wandsworth for households and businesses that need safe space for their belongings. As a local removals and storage company, we collect, pack, store and return your items with the same care we use on full house moves.

Professional Storage Services in Wandsworth

Our Wandsworth storage service is designed to be simple, secure and stress-free. We collect your goods from your home, office or site, wrap and protect them, transport them to our partner facilities, and store them in clean, dry, alarmed units. When you are ready, we deliver everything back and place items exactly where you need them.

We offer:

• Short-term storage for days or weeks between moves
• Long-term storage for months or more
• Containerised storage for maximum security and efficiency
• Document and archive storage for businesses
• Seasonal storage for bulky items you do not need year-round

All work is carried out by our trained, local moving teams and is fully supported by goods in transit insurance and public liability cover.

Local Storage Expertise in Wandsworth

We work across Wandsworth every day – from Earlsfield and Southfields to Putney, Battersea and Balham – so we understand local streets, parking restrictions and building access issues. That local knowledge keeps collection and redelivery smooth, particularly for flats with limited access or properties on busy roads.

Because we are a Wandsworth-based outfit, you are dealing with people who know the area, the typical property layouts and the local expectations for professional, tidy work. You get responsive communication and fast attendance for both planned and urgent storage needs.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you are between homes, carrying out renovations, decluttering before selling, or downsizing. We can store full households or just selected items like furniture, appliances or boxes.

Renters

Perfect for tenants moving between rentals, moving abroad for work, or needing to free up space in smaller flats. We can handle partial loads, student-size moves, or full flat contents.

Landlords

Helpful for landlords who need to clear properties between tenancies, store furniture from furnished lets, or hold items while refurbishments are carried out.

Businesses

Suitable for offices, retailers, contractors and charities needing space for documents, stock, furniture, exhibition materials or equipment. We offer ongoing and project-based business storage.

Students

Cost-effective storage for students between terms or gap years. We collect directly from halls or shared houses in and around Wandsworth and store boxes, luggage, small furniture and bikes.

What We Can and Cannot Store

Items Typically Included

• Household furniture and furnishings
• Boxes, suitcases and personal belongings
• Domestic appliances (fridges, washing machines, etc.)
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment
• Retail stock, archives and marketing materials
• Sports equipment, bikes and hobby items

Items Excluded or Restricted

For safety and legal reasons, we cannot store:

• Perishable food or organic waste
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (e.g. fuel, gas bottles, paints, chemicals)
• Illegal items or goods of doubtful ownership
• Live animals, plants or any living organisms
• Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents (we recommend a bank or specialist facility)

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise during the survey so there are no surprises on collection day.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with a rough list of what you need to store and for how long. We ask a few simple questions about access, volume and timing. Based on this, we provide a clear written quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs, with no hidden extras.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex loads, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. A member of our professional team assesses volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking), and any fragile or bulky items. This ensures we send the right vehicle and team size and that your quote is accurate.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed day, our trained movers arrive with protective materials. We can provide a full packing service, or simply supply boxes if you prefer to pack yourself. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are covered, and any disassembly required is carried out carefully so items are safe for storage.

4. Loading & Transport

Your belongings are loaded methodically onto our vehicles, using blankets, straps and appropriate stacking methods. Everything is inventoried or labelled so it can be easily located in store. Goods are then transported directly to our secure storage facility under goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading & Secure Storage

At the facility, we unload into designated storage units or containers, ensuring items are positioned to avoid crushing or damage. The facility is clean, dry, alarmed and monitored. When you request redelivery, we reverse the process and place items in the rooms you specify.

Transparent Pricing for Storage in Wandsworth

We aim to keep pricing simple and transparent. Your overall cost is normally made up of:

• Collection and loading charge (based on time, team size and access)
• Weekly or monthly storage fee (based on volume of goods stored)
• Redelivery charge when you want your belongings back

There are no hidden admin fees or surprise charges. We explain all costs in writing before you book, and we can provide options to match your budget, such as adjusting the collection date, partial loads or self-packing.

Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?

Choosing a professional removals and storage company offers several advantages over hiring a random van or doing it yourself:

• Safety and protection: Proper packing materials, techniques and stacking prevent damage in transit and in store.
• Insurance: Our goods in transit and public liability covers provide protection that casual services usually do not.
• Efficiency: Experienced teams load faster and use space more effectively, often meaning fewer trips and smaller storage volumes.
• Accountability: Clear paperwork, inventories and terms mean you know where you stand.
• Reliability: Confirmed booking times and a properly managed schedule reduce the risk of last-minute cancellations.

Insurance and Professional Standards

All storage work carried out by Wandsworth Movers is underpinned by strong professional standards:

• Goods in transit insurance covering your belongings while we move them between your property and the storage facility.
• Public liability cover for peace of mind in case of accidental damage to third-party property.
• Trained moving teams with hands-on experience handling everything from delicate antiques to large, awkward items.

We follow industry best practice in wrapping, lifting, stacking and vehicle loading, to minimise risk and keep your belongings protected at every stage.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Your belongings are treated as if they were our own. We use high-quality blankets, mattress covers and shrink-wrap where appropriate, and we pay particular attention to vulnerable surfaces and corners.

We are conscious of sustainability, so we:

• Reuse strong cartons and protective materials wherever practical
• Offer collection of used boxes for recycling at the end of storage
• Plan routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage

By packing correctly and using space efficiently, we can often reduce the size of unit required, which is both cost-effective for you and better for the environment.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House with a Gap Between Dates

Clients often sell in Wandsworth and complete on their new home weeks later. We remove everything on completion day, store it securely, and deliver on the new completion date, keeping the chain moving without stress.

Office Refits and Relocations

Businesses refurbishing offices or switching to hybrid working use our office storage for surplus furniture, archived files or seasonal stock. We can coordinate out-of-hours collections to avoid disruption.

Urgent or Same-Week Storage

Sometimes plans change quickly – fall-throughs, emergency repairs or sudden relocations. Where capacity allows, we offer rapid response storage, arranging collection in Wandsworth at short notice and getting your goods into secure storage the same day or within a few days.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with Wandsworth Movers cost?

Costs depend on three main factors: how much you are storing, how long for, and the access at your property. We charge a one-off fee for collection and loading, a weekly or monthly storage fee based on the volume of goods, and a redelivery fee when you want everything back. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote so you know the full cost upfront. There are no hidden extras, and we can often suggest ways to reduce cost by adjusting timing or volume.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in Wandsworth?

Where our schedule and facilities allow, we can arrange same-day or short-notice storage collections in Wandsworth and nearby areas. If you have an urgent situation – such as a last-minute move, a fall-through, or emergency works – call us as soon as possible. We will check vehicle and team availability, confirm what needs storing, and give you a realistic timeframe. Even if same-day is not possible, we usually find a practical solution within a very short window.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them between your property and the storage facility, and our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to third-party property. Storage cover within the facility can vary depending on the exact arrangement and value of your goods. We will explain the level of cover included and, where appropriate, discuss any additional insurance you may wish to arrange, especially for very high-value items. Our aim is that you understand precisely how your belongings are protected.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard service includes collection from your home or business in Wandsworth, careful loading, transport to our secure facility, and storage in a clean, dry, monitored environment. We provide blankets and basic protective materials for furniture as part of the service. Optional extras include a full packing service, supply of boxes and specialist packing for fragile or high-value items. When you are ready, we arrange redelivery and place items in the rooms you specify. All major stages are handled by our trained team.

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

A casual man-and-van may simply turn up, load and drop off, often without proper protection, paperwork or insurance. By contrast, we provide a structured, professional service: trained staff, suitable vehicles, protective materials, inventories and clearly defined terms. We work with secure storage facilities rather than leaving items in ad hoc spaces. Our goods in transit and public liability cover offer reassurance that is rarely matched by informal operators. Overall, you gain reliability, accountability and better protection for your belongings.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of dates and to coordinate smoothly with move-out or works, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially in busy periods such as month-end and summer. That said, we understand that storage needs can arise suddenly, and we will always try to help at short notice. The sooner you contact us with your dates, list of items and rough duration, the easier it is for us to secure space and schedule a convenient collection slot.
