Local Household Storage Experts in Maze Hill
Our depot is close to Maze Hill station, so we know the local streets, parking restrictions and access issues extremely well. That means practical collection times, sensible vehicle sizes for narrow roads, and realistic advice on how much storage you actually need. We combine local knowledge with a calm, professional approach, so your belongings are handled properly from door to store.
Who Our Household Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect if you are selling, staging your property, renovating, or waiting for your purchase to complete. We can collect furniture, white goods, boxes and sentimental items, store them securely, then deliver to your new address when you are ready.
Renters
If your tenancy dates do not quite line up or you are moving into a smaller flat, our storage keeps everything safe in the gap. We often help renters who are taking short-term lets while they look for something more permanent around Maze Hill and Greenwich.
Landlords
Landlords use our storage to hold furniture during refurbishments, keep seasonal items between lets, or clear a property quickly after tenants leave. We can collect keys from agents, liaise on access, and provide clear inventories for your records.
Businesses
Small businesses and home offices use household-sized units for documents, exhibition stands, spare furniture and archive boxes. It is a simple, cost-effective option when you do not need full commercial warehousing.
Students
Students at Greenwich and nearby universities often store belongings over the summer or during placements abroad. We can collect from halls or shared houses, store for a fixed period, and redeliver at the start of term.

Our household storage is designed for most typical domestic belongings, including:

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will give clear guidance before collection.
How Our Household Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or our online form. We discuss what you need to store, your dates, access at your property and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and re-delivery costs.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger jobs or where access is tight, we arrange a short video survey or in-person visit in Maze Hill. This allows us to assess volumes, vehicle size, parking, and any dismantling required. The survey keeps surprises to a minimum and ensures the quote is accurate.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can either pack yourself or use our professional packing service. We supply quality boxes and packing materials, or our trained team can carefully pack and label everything for you. Furniture is protected with covers and, where needed, dismantled to make it safer to move and store.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our uniformed, professional crew arrives on time with the right vehicle. Floors, bannisters and doorways are protected as we load. Items are wrapped, secured and inventoried before being transported directly to our storage facility.
5. Unloading & Secure Storage
At the depot, your belongings are placed into a clean, dry storage unit, stacked safely to avoid damage. Each unit is individually sealed and logged with your details. When you are ready for redelivery, we reverse the process – collect from storage, deliver to your new address, and place items in the rooms you specify.
Transparent Household Storage Pricing
We keep our pricing straightforward and transparent. Your quote will usually include:
- Collection from your Maze Hill or nearby address
- Protective materials (blankets, transit wraps; optional packing supplies)
- Monthly storage fee based on volume or unit size
- Optional professional packing service
- Redelivery from storage to your chosen address
There are no hidden charges; any parking, congestion or special access fees are discussed upfront. For longer-term storage, we can often offer reduced monthly rates. We are happy to explain how we have calculated your quote line by line.
Why Use Professional Storage & Removals Instead of DIY?
It can be tempting to hire a casual van and do it yourself, but there are clear advantages to using a professional storage company:
- Safety: Our staff are trained to move heavy and awkward items without causing injury or damage.
- Protection: Proper wrapping, stacking and securing means less risk of breakage.
- Insurance: Our goods in transit insurance covers your items while they are being moved.
- Reliability: Confirmed booking times, the right vehicle and the right number of people for the job.
- Time-saving: What might take you a full weekend can often be completed in hours.
Using a casual man-and-van may initially look cheaper but, without insurance, trained staff or proper equipment, it can become expensive if anything goes wrong.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We work to recognised industry standards to keep your belongings safe and give you peace of mind:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being collected and delivered.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to property or injury while we are on site.
- Trained moving teams – staff receive practical training in packing, lifting, loading and customer care.
- Clear paperwork – inventories, contracts and terms provided in writing.
If you have high-value items, we will discuss enhanced cover options and any specific packing or handling requirements.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are covered, and boxes are stacked so nothing is crushed. We use reusable moving blankets and durable crates where possible to reduce waste, and we source recyclable packing materials. Our vehicles are regularly maintained and planned efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage and emissions around Maze Hill and beyond.
Real-World Household Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Chains do not always line up. We regularly help Maze Hill residents who need to move out before they can move in. We collect everything on moving day, store securely for a few days or weeks, then deliver to the new property once keys are available.
Office or Home-Office Relocation
When businesses or home offices change premises, storage can bridge the gap. Desks, IT equipment and archived files are collected, stored and then delivered in stages as your new space is set up.
Urgent or Same-Week Moves
Life is not always predictable. If you face an urgent move due to landlord issues, job changes or family circumstances, we do our best to offer fast storage solutions, subject to availability. Our team will guide you through the quickest, most practical approach for your situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does household storage in Maze Hill cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much you store, how long for, and whether you need collection and redelivery. We typically price by the volume of goods or by unit size, with a separate charge for the removal team and vehicle on moving days. Longer-term storage often attracts better monthly rates. Once we know what you are storing and from where, we provide a clear written quote with all charges listed, so you can see exactly what you are paying for and adjust the level of service to suit your budget.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where capacity allows, we can usually arrange urgent or short-notice storage for Maze Hill customers. Same-day collection is sometimes possible, particularly for smaller loads, though it depends on vehicle and crew availability. If you are in a hurry, call us as early as you can with an outline of what needs moving and any access restrictions. We will be honest about what we can realistically achieve on your timescale and may suggest interim solutions, such as a partial first collection, if that helps relieve immediate pressure.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your property and our facility, and they are stored in a secure, monitored environment. We also hold public liability cover for work carried out at your address. Standard cover suits most household contents, but if you have particularly high-value pieces, artwork or antiques, we can discuss additional cover or ask you to provide your own specialist policy. We will always explain what is and is not included so there are no surprises.
What is included in your household storage service?
Our standard service can include collection from your Maze Hill property, protective wrapping of furniture, loading and transport to our depot, secure storage in a clean unit, and final delivery when you are ready. You can add optional services such as professional packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and supply of packing materials. We provide a clear inventory of items moved into storage on request. The service is flexible – you only pay for what you need, and we structure everything around your dates, access and budget.
How is your service different from using a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may be fine for a quick local run, but household storage and full moves benefit from a professional approach. We offer trained crews, proper equipment, insurance and secure storage facilities, not just transport. Your items are inventoried, wrapped and stacked correctly, reducing the risk of damage. We provide written quotes, agreed timings and clear terms, so you know exactly where you stand. With man-and-van options, you often have limited protection if something goes wrong, and no long-term storage solution included.
How far in advance should I book household storage?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance. That said, we know that storage needs often arise unexpectedly, so we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where we can. Once you have approximate dates and an idea of what you want to store, get in touch. We can reserve space provisionally, then firm up details as your plans become clearer, giving you one less thing to worry about.
