At Removal Companies South Kensington, we provide safe, flexible and fully insured storage solutions for homes and businesses across South Kensington and the surrounding areas. Whether you need a single room cleared for renovations or a full household in storage between moves, we handle the whole process from collection to redelivery.
Our South Kensington storage service is designed for people who want a straightforward, well-managed option rather than juggling self-storage units and hiring separate transport. We collect your items, wrap and protect them, place them into secure storage, and deliver them back when you are ready.
All handling is carried out by our trained, uniformed teams, using proper moving materials and vehicles fitted with securing systems. Your belongings stay on our inventory from the moment we collect them until the moment we return them.
Ideal if you’re selling, downsizing or renovating in South Kensington. Store surplus furniture to help stage your home, protect belongings during building work, or keep everything safe while you complete on your new property.
If you’re between tenancies, heading abroad, or moving into a smaller rental, our flexible storage gives you breathing space. You pay only for the space you need and the time you use, without long-term lock-in.
Landlords often use our storage when changing from furnished to unfurnished lets, during refurbishments, or to hold furniture between tenancies. We can also assist with partial clearances and short-notice collections.
Local businesses in South Kensington rely on us for secure archive storage, seasonal stock, spare furniture and equipment. Our professional inventory and barcoded labelling (where required) make it easy to retrieve specific items quickly.
Students at Imperial College and other nearby institutions use our student-friendly storage between terms, gap years or work placements. We can collect directly from halls or shared houses and redeliver when you return.
We handle most domestic and commercial items, including:
For safety, legal and hygiene reasons, some items are excluded from storage:
If you are unsure about a specific item, we will advise you clearly before collection.
Contact us by phone or online and tell us what you need to store, your location in South Kensington, and your timescales. We will ask a few questions about access, volume and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation and explain the options for short-term or longer-term storage.
For larger loads or more complex jobs, we recommend a free survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in South Kensington. We measure volumes, check access (lifts, staircases, parking) and note any fragile or unusual pieces. This allows us to allocate the right number of movers, vehicle size and storage space, keeping costs accurate.
You can pack your own boxes or choose our professional packing service. When we arrive, we protect furniture with padded covers, wrap delicate items, and label everything clearly. An inventory is created for all items going into storage, which you will receive a copy of for your records.
Our movers load your belongings carefully onto our purpose-built vehicles, securing everything for safe transport to our storage facility. We handle parking and access planning in South Kensington, which can be tight and restricted, so you do not have to worry about it.
At the warehouse, items are unloaded, checked against the inventory, and placed into clean, dry storage units. Your goods remain sealed and undisturbed unless you request access or redelivery. When you are ready, we schedule return delivery and place items back into your home or office, room by room.
Our pricing is based on:
Storage is charged weekly or monthly, with discounts for longer stays. All costs are explained in writing before you book, including VAT where applicable, so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden collection or access fees; if access charges apply, we spell them out in advance.
Using a casual man-and-van or trying to manage self-storage yourself can seem cheaper at first, but often leads to damage, stress and unexpected costs. With us, you get:
*Proper storage is not just about space; it is about safeguarding your possessions from start to finish.*
As a local, established removals and storage company, we work to recognised industry standards and take our responsibilities seriously.
Details of insurance cover, limits and any exclusions are provided with your quotation, and we are happy to talk you through them in plain language.
We treat your belongings with the same care we would our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are bagged, and fragile items are cushioned and clearly marked. We use reusable padded covers and durable crates wherever possible to reduce single-use materials.
Where we do use cardboard boxes and packing paper, we prioritise recyclable products and responsible disposal. Route planning is optimised to reduce unnecessary mileage in and around South Kensington, helping to limit environmental impact.
Many South Kensington clients complete on their sale before their purchase is ready. We move the full contents out, store them securely for a few days or weeks, then deliver everything to the new address on your chosen date.
Businesses refurbishing or relocating often need short-term storage for furniture, IT equipment and archives. We can work outside normal office hours to minimise disruption and coordinate with your fit-out contractors.
Life is not always predictable. If you suddenly need space due to unexpected building work, a change in tenancy, or a separation, we do our best to offer same-day or next-day collection where availability allows.
Costs depend on how much you store, how long for, and the level of service you choose. We calculate volume during a survey or from your item list, then price collection, storage and redelivery separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for. As a guide, smaller loads cost less than hiring a full self-storage unit, especially when you factor in van hire and time. We provide a written quotation with no obligation, and discounts are often available for longer-term storage.
Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or next-day storage collection in South Kensington and nearby areas. This is particularly useful for urgent tenancy changes, last-minute renovations or situations where a move has fallen through. Availability depends on existing bookings, vehicle capacity and crew scheduling, so the sooner you contact us, the better. Even if we cannot attend the same day, we will advise you honestly on the earliest slot and any ways to stabilise the situation until we arrive.
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved and by our storage cover while in the facility, subject to policy terms and declared value. We also carry public liability cover while working at your property. We will explain cover limits, any exclusions and options to increase protection if you have particularly high-value items. Insurance is there to provide reassurance; our first priority is preventing damage through proper packing, handling and storage conditions.
Our standard service includes collection from your South Kensington property, loading by professional movers, transport to our storage facility, secure storage, and redelivery to your chosen address. We also provide basic protection such as furniture blankets and mattress bags. Optional extras include full packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, specialist wrapping (for artwork, antiques, etc.) and out-of-hours moves. All inclusions and options are clearly listed in your quote so there is no confusion about what you will receive.
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, without formal inventories, structured insurance or controlled storage. Our service is a managed door-to-door solution. We supply trained staff, proper packing and protection, documented inventories and fully insured handling. Your belongings remain in our care from collection to redelivery, with clear accountability at every stage. This reduces the risk of loss, breakage or disputes and is especially important for full households, offices or longer-term storage needs.
We recommend booking as soon as you know you will need storage, particularly during busy moving periods such as summer and month-end. A week or two’s notice usually secures your preferred date and time, but we regularly accommodate shorter notice when our schedule allows. Early booking also gives us time to arrange surveys, parking suspensions in South Kensington where required, and any packing services you may need. However, if your plans change suddenly, do still contact us – we will always try to help.
There are many removal companies South Kensington, but none of them are able to match our service on price or quality.
