Storage
Secure Storage in Fulham by Fulham Movers
At Fulham Movers, we provide safe, flexible and professionally managed storage solutions for homes and businesses across Fulham and the surrounding areas. Whether you need a few weeks between moves or a long-term, fully managed storage option, we handle everything from collection to careful placement in our secure facilities.
Professional Storage Services in Fulham
Our storage service is designed for people who want their belongings handled by a professional, fully insured team rather than juggling self-storage, van hire and heavy lifting themselves. We collect, wrap, inventory, store and redeliver your items when you need them back.
We know Fulham inside out – from converted flats off Fulham Palace Road to townhouses by Eel Brook Common and busy offices on New King’s Road. That local experience means we plan access, parking and timings properly, so your storage collection or delivery runs smoothly.
Who Our Fulham Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you’re between property completions, downsizing, renovating or decluttering before a sale. We can store full house contents or just a few key pieces of furniture while you get everything else sorted.
Renters
Perfect if your tenancy dates don’t quite align, you’re relocating temporarily for work, or you need to store items you can’t fit into your new rental. We handle all the moving and loading, so you avoid repeated van trips.
Landlords
Need to clear a property between tenants or store furniture during refurbishment? We offer flexible, short-term storage with reliable collections and returns, helping you turn properties around quickly without filling your own garage.
Businesses
From office furniture and archive boxes to stock and marketing materials, our business storage options give you extra space without long leases. We can work outside your trading hours to minimise disruption.
Students
Students in and around Fulham benefit from simple, low-hassle storage during summer breaks, gap years or study abroad periods. We collect from halls or shared houses and bring everything back when term starts again.
What We Can Store
We offer clean, dry and secure storage for most household and commercial items, including:
- Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other household furniture
- Boxes of clothes, books, kitchenware and personal effects
- Office desks, chairs, cabinets and equipment
- Retail stock, promotional materials and display stands
- Bikes, sports equipment, small gym equipment (subject to condition)
- Artwork, mirrors and fragile items (carefully wrapped and protected)
Items We Cannot Store
To comply with safety, legal and insurance requirements, some items are excluded:
- Perishable goods and food items
- Flammable, hazardous or explosive materials (including gas bottles, paints, solvents)
- Illegal goods or stolen property
- Live animals or plants
- Cash, jewellery, high-value collectibles or important documents (we recommend a safe deposit box)
- Unboxed loose liquids or chemicals
If you are unsure whether something can be stored, we will advise you clearly before collection.
How Our Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask a few simple questions, such as property access, item types and dates, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves or full-property storage, we recommend a short survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Fulham. It allows us to assess volumes accurately, check access (lifts, staircases, parking) and confirm the storage space required so there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or choose our professional packing service. Our trained team uses proper packing materials – boxes, wraps and protective covers – to ensure everything is ready for safe handling and storage. Furniture can be dismantled where needed and carefully wrapped to avoid damage.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our professional movers arrive in purpose-equipped vehicles with blankets, straps and trolleys. We list and label items as required, then load in a logical, secure order. Your possessions are transported directly to our storage facility under goods in transit insurance.
5. Storage, Unloading & Placement
At the facility, items are unloaded into your allocated unit or space, with careful placement to keep everything stable and accessible. When you’re ready, simply arrange a redelivery date. We then reverse the process – collect from storage, transport and place items in your new or existing property, room by room.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will typically include:
- Collection charges (labour, vehicle and travel time)
- Weekly or monthly storage fees based on volume or unit size
- Optional professional packing materials and packing service
- Redelivery charges from storage back to your chosen address
There are no hidden extras for standard access, and we explain in advance if any additional services (such as dismantling complex furniture or long carries from restricted access properties) might affect the cost. For longer-term storage, we can often provide more favourable rates.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Man-and-Van?
Using a casual man-and-van or trying to move everything into self-storage yourself can lead to poor packing, underestimating space, damage in transit and repeated trips across Fulham’s busy streets. With Fulham Movers, you get a fully insured, trained removals team and storage service managed from start to finish.
We plan access, protect your property, stack items correctly in vehicles and storage, and keep an accurate record of what’s stored. You avoid heavy lifting, navigating tight staircases with large furniture, and last-minute issues with storage unit sizes or opening hours.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are handled under clear, robust protections:
- Goods in transit insurance while we move your items to and from storage
- Public liability cover for work carried out on your premises
- Trained moving teams experienced with fragile, bulky and high-responsibility items
We follow established industry best practices for wrapping, lifting and stacking, keeping both your belongings and our staff safe. Full details of cover levels are available with your quote, and we’ll advise if any particularly high-value items need special arrangements.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
From the moment we arrive, we aim to protect both your possessions and your property. We use floor and door coverings where needed, padded furniture covers, and appropriate wrapping for delicate items. In storage, items are kept dry, clean and off the floor where required.
We also take a responsible approach to materials and operations. Wherever possible, we reuse sturdy cartons, offer re-usable crates, and recycle worn-out materials rather than sending them to landfill. Efficient route planning around Fulham reduces unnecessary fuel usage, supporting a more sustainable way of moving and storing.
Real-World Storage Use Cases in Fulham
Moving House with a Gap Between Dates
If your completion dates don’t align, we can move you out, store everything securely for a few days or weeks, then deliver straight into your new home once the keys are available.
Office Relocation and Refits
Businesses often need temporary storage during office refurbishments or downsizing. We can take away surplus desks, chairs and equipment, store them securely and return only what you actually need.
Urgent or Last-Minute Storage
Occasionally, life doesn’t go to plan – sales fall through, tenancies change, or works overrun. Subject to availability, we can arrange fast storage with short notice, collecting and securing your items quickly to give you breathing space.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage with collection in Fulham cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the volume of items, access at your property, and how long you need storage. Your quote will separate collection, ongoing storage and redelivery so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. As a guide, storing the contents of a small flat will cost less than a full four-bedroom house, and longer stays often attract better weekly or monthly rates. Get in touch with a brief description of your items and dates, and we’ll provide a clear, itemised estimate.
Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?
Where our schedule and storage capacity allow, we can often help with same-day or very short-notice storage in Fulham. This is especially useful if a move falls through, work is delayed or you suddenly need to clear space. The sooner you contact us, the better the chance we can rearrange crews and vehicles to assist. We’ll explain any time constraints, confirm collection windows and ensure your belongings are safely stored as quickly and calmly as possible.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from storage, and by our storage cover while held in our facility, subject to terms and limits. We also carry public liability cover for work carried out at your property. We’ll outline the main conditions, excesses and any exclusions when you receive your quote. If you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss whether additional or specialist cover is sensible to fully protect your belongings.
What is included in your storage service?
Our standard storage service includes professional collection by a trained team, loading into our vehicles, transport to the storage facility, careful unloading and secure placement in your allocated space. We can also provide packing materials and a full or partial packing service if required. When you’re ready to receive your items again, we organise redelivery and place everything in the appropriate rooms. You won’t need to hire a van, carry heavy items, or deal directly with a self-storage provider unless you specifically want to.
How is this different from using a basic man-and-van and self-storage?
With a casual man-and-van, you’re usually responsible for packing, estimating how much storage space you need, booking the unit, and often doing much of the lifting yourself. Protection and insurance can be limited. With Fulham Movers, you get a professional, fully insured service that handles collection, protection, transport, storage and redelivery as one managed process. We plan volumes accurately, use proper equipment and materials, and our trained teams are experienced at avoiding the common problems that lead to damage or extra costs.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly during busy moving periods such as month-end and summer. However, we understand that storage needs often arise at short notice. If your timescales are tight, contact us as soon as you can and we’ll check availability and options. Once your booking is confirmed, we’ll agree clear arrival windows so you can plan the rest of your day with confidence.
