Who Our Household Storage Service Is For
Our household storage is suitable for a wide range of customers:
Homeowners
If you’re selling, renovating, or downsizing, we can store full or partial household contents. Keep furniture, appliances and personal items secure while work is carried out or until your new property is ready.
Renters
Need to move out before your next tenancy starts, or want to free up space in a flat? Store your belongings safely between tenancies or for the longer term, without having to move everything back to family homes.
Landlords
We support landlords who need to store furniture during refurbishments or when switching between furnished and unfurnished lets. Our storage keeps your assets protected and ready for future tenants.
Businesses
Smaller businesses and home-based companies often use our units for stock, marketing materials, spares or archived documents. It’s cost-effective, secure and avoids overfilling home or office space.
Students
Students moving out of halls or shared houses over the holidays can store books, clothes, bikes and small furniture. Avoid repeated long-distance trips and keep everything safe until the new term.
What You Can Store with Us
Our units are suitable for most typical household belongings, including:
- Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
- Home appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (defrosted and dry)
- Boxes of clothes, books, toys and personal items
- Sports equipment, bicycles and hobby materials
- Home office equipment and small business items
- Seasonal items – Christmas decorations, garden furniture, fans and heaters
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and hygiene reasons, some items are not allowed in our storage units. These include:
- Perishable or open food and drink
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles and fuel)
- Illegal goods or stolen property
- Live plants or animals
- Unsealed liquids or chemicals that may leak
- Cash and high-value jewellery (better stored in a bank or specialist facility)
If you are unsure about a specific item, our professional team will advise you before your storage starts so there are no surprises.
How Our Household Storage Process Works
We keep the process simple and transparent from first enquiry through to collection.
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online and tell us what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask a few practical questions, suggest an appropriate unit size and provide a clear, no-obligation quote. Prices are based on unit size, length of stay and any optional services you choose.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger households, we may suggest a virtual or onsite survey. This helps us accurately estimate the space required and, if you’d like us to collect, plan vehicle size and access. Surveys are quick and free, and prevent you from paying for more space than you genuinely need.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or use our professional packing service. We supply quality boxes, wrapping and protective covers. If we pack, our trained team will carefully wrap furniture, protect delicate items and label boxes clearly to make retrieval easy later on.
4. Loading & Transport
On the agreed day, you can bring items to us, or we can collect from your home. Our removals vehicles are equipped with blankets, straps and barrows. We load carefully to prevent movement in transit and transport everything straight to your allocated unit at our Holloway facility.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the storage facility, we unload and place items neatly in your unit. Where we are doing the move, we’ll stack heavier items at the bottom, keep delicate boxes accessible and leave room for you to move around safely. When you are ready to move out of storage, we can also deliver everything back to your home or new address.
Transparent Household Storage Pricing
We believe in clear and straightforward pricing. Our household storage costs are based on:
- Unit size (measured in square feet or by volume)
- Length of storage term
- Any optional services – collection, delivery, packing, packing materials
There are no hidden charges for normal use of the unit. Any additional fees, such as extended access requirements or late payments, are explained upfront. We offer discounts for longer-term storage and can help you choose the most cost-effective option for your situation.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY Solutions?
Using a professional storage provider like Storage Holloway has several advantages over casual garage rentals, sheds or using friends’ spaces:
- Better security – monitored access and modern locking systems
- Dry, clean conditions to prevent damp, mould and pests
- Goods in transit insurance when we handle the move
- Experienced handling from trained staff
- Flexible contracts so you are not tied into unsuitable long leases
DIY storage can seem cheaper on the surface, but damage from poor conditions or break-ins often proves more costly in the long run.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to recognised industry standards for security, handling and customer care. When we manage collection and delivery, your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance, giving you peace of mind from door to unit.
Our facility is protected by robust physical security, CCTV and controlled access. We also maintain public liability cover and use trained storage and removals teams who follow agreed procedures for lifting, packing and stacking. We can provide proof of insurance and policy details on request.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your possessions with the same care we would our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are protected, and fragile items are packed securely. We encourage the use of reusable crates where practical and recycle cardboard and packing materials wherever possible.
Our vehicles are maintained for efficient running, and we plan routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage. By consolidating storage and transport, we help customers minimise waste and avoid throwing away items that simply need a safe place for a while.
Typical Real-World Uses for Our Household Storage
- Moving house: Store everything during a gap between completion dates or keep non-essential items in storage while you settle into your new home.
- Office or home office relocation: Temporarily store desks, chairs, filing cabinets and equipment while you refurbish or change premises.
- Urgent moves: If you need to move out quickly due to landlord changes, relationship breakdown, or sudden work transfers, we can arrange swift collection and secure storage while you make longer-term plans.
- Home improvements: Keep furniture and belongings clear of dust and damage during building work, new flooring installation or decorating projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does household storage in Holloway cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need and how long you need it for. Smaller units for a few boxes or student belongings are naturally cheaper than larger rooms that can hold the contents of a whole house. There is also a difference between self-drop-off and using our collection and packing services. Once we know what you plan to store, we provide a clear weekly or monthly price with any optional extras listed separately, so you can choose what fits your budget.
Can you offer same-day or urgent household storage?
In many cases we can arrange same-day or next-day storage in Holloway, particularly for smaller loads. Availability does depend on current unit occupancy and the size of space required, but we always do our best to find a suitable solution quickly. If you need urgent help, call us as early as possible with an outline of what you need to store and any deadlines. We can then confirm space, organise a fast collection slot if required, and secure your unit without unnecessary delay.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Our facility is covered by building and security insurance, and when we handle transport your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance. For items in storage, we can arrange or recommend appropriate contents cover based on the value of your goods, or you may be able to extend your existing home insurance to include storage. We will explain the options and any limits clearly, so you understand exactly what is covered and can choose the level of protection that best suits your possessions.
What is included in your household storage service?
At its simplest, our service includes a clean, secure unit for your exclusive use, with agreed access during our opening hours. Many customers also choose additional services such as collection from their property, professional packing, supply of packing materials and redelivery at the end of the storage period. We help you select the right unit size, explain how to stack items safely and can provide advice on preparing appliances and furniture for storage, so everything comes out in the same condition it went in.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A man-and-van typically provides simple transport from A to B, often without dedicated storage, formal insurance or purpose-built facilities. We offer an integrated solution: trained staff, proper packing materials, secure monitored units and documented procedures for handling your belongings. Our vehicles and storage units are designed for furniture and household goods, and we operate with public liability cover and goods in transit insurance. The result is a more reliable, accountable service, especially important for longer-term or higher-value storage.
How far in advance should I book storage?
Where possible, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end moves. Early booking gives you more choice of unit sizes and preferred dates for collection or delivery. That said, we understand that plans can change quickly, and we regularly accommodate last-minute requests. Even if your dates are uncertain, it’s worth contacting us to discuss likely timings so we can pencil in options and advise you on the most flexible arrangement for your situation.
