At Belgravia Movers we provide secure, flexible storage solutions in and around Belgravia for homes and businesses of all sizes. As a local, professional removals and storage company, we combine secure facilities with trained moving teams to make storing your belongings straightforward, safe and stress-free.

Professional Storage Services in Belgravia

Our storage service is designed to give you extra space when you need it, without long-term commitments or hidden conditions. We collect your items from your property, professionally pack and protect them where required, transport them to our secure storage facility, and return them when you are ready.

We offer:

• Short-term storage – perfect between moves or during renovations
• Long-term storage – for items you need to keep but don’t use regularly
• Domestic storage – furniture, personal effects, seasonal items
• Business storage – files, stock, office furniture and equipment
• Student storage – term-time clear-outs and holiday storage

All collections and deliveries are carried out by our own trained removals teams, using the same standards of care we apply to full house and office moves.

Local Expertise in Belgravia

Working daily in Belgravia and the surrounding areas, we understand the challenges of tight streets, parking restrictions and building management rules that often apply to access and deliveries. Our local knowledge means we plan vehicle sizes, timings and access in detail so that your storage collection or delivery runs smoothly.

We liaise with concierges, building managers and neighbours where required, arrange parking suspensions when necessary, and ensure minimal disruption to your building and those around you.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are decluttering before a sale, renovating, or moving abroad, our storage gives you a safe place for furniture, white goods and personal items until you are ready for them again.

Renters

For renters between tenancies or downsizing to a smaller property, we can collect surplus belongings, hold them in storage, and deliver them when you move into your next home.

Landlords

Landlords often need to clear or store part-furnished contents between lets or during refurbishment. We offer flexible storage for furniture, appliances and fixtures on rolling terms.

Businesses

From growing startups to established offices, our business storage suits archived files, stock inventory, marketing materials and spare office furniture. We can also support phased office refits by rotating items in and out of storage on a schedule.

Students

Students in Belgravia and nearby universities use our storage during holidays, gap years or study abroad periods. We collect from halls or private rentals, store safely, and redeliver when term resumes.

If you are unsure about a specific item, we will advise clearly before your storage date.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or through our online form. We will ask brief questions about the volume and type of items, access at your property and your timescales. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining transport, labour and storage costs.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger volumes, we recommend a free survey. This can often be done virtually via video call, or in person where access is complex. The survey allows us to assess volume accurately, confirm any packing needs and plan parking and access, so that there are no surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed date, our trained team arrives with protective materials. We can offer a full packing service or simply supply cartons and materials if you prefer to pack yourself. Furniture is wrapped in transit blankets or export wrap, and fragile items are boxed and cushioned to minimise risk during handling and storage.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

We carefully load your goods onto our vehicles, item by item, ensuring heavier items are properly based and lighter boxes stacked safely. Everything is inventoried or labelled so we know exactly what is in storage. Your belongings are then transported directly to our secure storage facility using our own vehicles.

5. Unloading, Storage & Return Delivery

At the facility, items are unloaded into the appropriate storage area. On request, we can provide a detailed inventory. When you are ready for your goods back, simply contact us to schedule redelivery. We will then collect your items from storage, bring them to your new address and place them in the rooms you specify.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will normally include:

• Collection – labour and vehicle costs from your address
• Optional packing materials and/or packing service
• Weekly or monthly storage charge based on volume
• Redelivery from storage to your chosen address

Costs are primarily driven by the amount of space your goods occupy, the number of staff required and access conditions (stairs only, long carries, parking restrictions). There are no hidden charges; any potential additional costs, such as special packing for antiques or pianos, are discussed and agreed in advance.

Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY Options?

Choosing a professional removals and storage company gives you peace of mind that your belongings are handled, stored and insured properly.

• Expert handling – our teams move heavy and awkward items daily, reducing risk of damage or injury.
• Correct packing – proper wrapping and packing reduces the chance of breakages over time.
• Secure facilities – access-controlled premises offer greater protection than many casual self-storage options.
• Time saving – we handle all loading, transport and unloading, freeing you to focus on your move or project.

Casual man-and-van services may appear cheaper, but they often lack insurance, formal training and consistent standards, leaving you exposed if something goes wrong.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We operate to professional removals industry standards, with appropriate cover in place to protect your belongings and your property.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while being moved between your property and the storage facility.
• Storage cover – your belongings are stored in secure premises with appropriate protection against key risks.
• Public liability cover – protects you and third parties in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during our work.
• Trained moving teams – all staff are trained in safe lifting, packing, and protection of property.

We will explain the scope and limits of cover clearly, so you can decide if any additional personal insurance is needed for particularly high-value items.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Your belongings are treated with the same care we would give our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses protected, and fragile items individually cushioned. We take care to protect floors, walls and lifts in your building during collection and delivery.

We are also mindful of our environmental responsibilities. Wherever possible, we use reusable protective materials and heavy-duty cartons designed for multiple uses. We minimise unnecessary journeys through careful route planning, and we recycle packing materials at the end of their life.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

Chains don’t always line up neatly. If you need to move out before your new home is ready, we can collect your entire household, store it securely for as long as required, and deliver it once you have your keys.

Office Relocations & Refits

Businesses often use storage during phased office moves, refurbishments or when downsizing but retaining spare furniture. We can move departments in stages, rotating items into and out of storage with minimal disruption to your operations.

Urgent and Short-Notice Storage

Sometimes circumstances change quickly – a sale completes sooner than expected, or a renovation overruns. Subject to availability, we can usually arrange quick turnarounds for storage, often within a few days, and occasionally same-day for smaller loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with Belgravia Movers cost?

Storage costs depend on how much space you need, how long you need it for and the access at your property. We typically charge a collection and redelivery fee, plus a weekly or monthly storage rate based on volume. During your enquiry, we will estimate the cubic volume of your goods and provide a clear quotation with all likely costs shown. There are no hidden extras, and we are happy to adjust the quote if your inventory changes before the collection date.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage in Belgravia?

Where capacity allows, we can often accommodate urgent storage requirements, and in some cases same-day collections for smaller loads. Availability will depend on existing bookings, vehicle allocation and staff levels on the day. If you need storage at short notice, it is best to call us so we can confirm what is realistically possible. Even when we cannot offer same-day collection, we will usually be able to arrange a prompt appointment within a very short timeframe.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved and are stored in secure premises with appropriate cover in place. We will explain the exact level of cover and any limits when we provide your quotation. For unusually high-value items or collections, we may recommend that you notify your own insurer or arrange additional cover for complete peace of mind. Our aim is to ensure you fully understand how your belongings are protected at every stage.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes collection from your property by a professional removals team, loading, transport to our storage facility, secure storage for the agreed period, and redelivery to your chosen address. We can also provide packing materials, a full or partial packing service, and specialist protection for delicate items on request. Your quote will set out exactly what is included so there is no ambiguity. If your requirements change, we can amend the service to suit.

How is professional storage different from a man-and-van or self-storage?

With professional storage through Belgravia Movers, you benefit from trained staff, appropriate insurance and secure facilities, all managed under one service. With a casual man-and-van, you may have limited or no insurance, less careful packing and handling, and no assurance of standards. Self-storage can work for some people, but you are responsible for all lifting, transport and protection yourself. Our service is designed to reduce risk, save time and provide a single accountable point of contact.

How far in advance should I book storage?

We recommend booking as early as you can, particularly during busy periods such as summer and month-ends, when removals and storage demand is highest. A week or two’s notice is ideal, but we regularly arrange storage with less notice, and occasionally at very short notice. The more time we have, the easier it is to guarantee your preferred dates and plan access, packing and parking. Even if your exact dates are uncertain, it is worth talking to us early so we can pencil you into our schedule.
