Local Storage Experts in Putney
We have worked in Putney and South West London for many years, supporting local homeowners, renters, students and companies with fully insured removals and storage. We understand the challenges of moving and living in London – limited space, tight access, parking restrictions and busy schedules – and we tailor our storage service around these realities.
Because we are based locally, we can offer flexible collection and delivery times, quick response for urgent storage needs, and clear advice on the most cost-effective option for your situation.
Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are selling, renovating, or downsizing. Use our storage to keep furniture and personal items out of the way while you redecorate, stage your home for viewings, or wait for your purchase to complete.
Renters
If your tenancy dates do not line up, or you are moving into a furnished property, we can collect your belongings, store them securely, and redeliver when you are ready. This avoids rushing a move or leaving items with friends and family.
Landlords
Landlords often use our storage when changing tenants, refurbishing, or converting a property. We can remove existing furniture, store it for as long as needed, and return it or dispose of it responsibly as agreed.
Businesses
For local businesses, we offer storage for office furniture, archived files, seasonal stock, exhibition equipment and more. We can combine office removals with short or long-term storage so downtime is kept to a minimum.
Students
Students in Putney and nearby campuses use our storage between term times, during placements or year abroad programmes. We can collect from halls or shared houses, store your belongings, and deliver them to your next address when you return.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or email with a brief description of what you need to store, your addresses in Putney and key dates. We will ask a few simple questions about the volume of items, access and timing. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote for collection, storage and redelivery.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves, offices or whole properties, we recommend a survey. This can be done virtually via video call or onsite in Putney. The survey allows us to confirm the volume (in cubic feet or metres), check access and parking, and identify any special handling requirements. This makes the move day smoother and keeps costs transparent.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our team uses strong cartons, bubble wrap and furniture blankets to protect your belongings. Mattresses and soft furnishings are wrapped, and fragile items are packed carefully to reduce the risk of damage when in storage and in transit.
4. Loading & Transport
On the agreed day, our trained removals team arrives on time, with all necessary equipment. We protect floors and walls where needed, then load your items systematically, securing them safely in the van. Once loaded, we transport everything directly to our secure storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the facility, items are unloaded and placed into your allocated storage space. We stack items carefully, keeping fragile and heavy items arranged appropriately. When you are ready for redelivery, we reverse the process – we collect from your storage unit, transport back to your new address and place items in the rooms you specify.
Transparent and Fair Storage Pricing
We price storage based on the volume of goods, the level of service you require, and the duration of storage. Our quotes are clear and easy to understand, typically broken down into:
- Collection and transport cost
- Packing service (if requested)
- Weekly or monthly storage fee
- Redelivery cost from storage to your new address
There are no hidden charges. If your plans change and you need more or less time in storage, we adjust the cost accordingly and keep you updated.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Basic Man-and-Van
Using a professional removals and storage company in Putney offers several advantages over doing it yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van:
- Proper protection – professional packing materials and techniques reduce the risk of damage.
- Fully insured – we carry goods in transit cover, which informal operators may not have.
- Experienced teams – our staff are trained in safe lifting, loading and stacking for storage.
- Time saving – you avoid multiple trips to self-storage and heavy lifting yourself.
- Accountability – one company responsible from collection through to redelivery.
DIY options can quickly become more expensive and stressful once you factor in van hire, fuel, packing materials and your time.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important to you, and we treat them with the same care. We operate to clear professional standards, including:
- Goods in transit insurance while your items are being moved between properties and storage
- Public liability cover for work carried out in your home, office or building
- Trained moving teams who follow safe handling and loading practices
- Regularly maintained vehicles and quality packing materials
We are always happy to discuss cover levels and provide details of our policy on request, so you know exactly how your goods are protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care to protect both your belongings and the environment. Furniture and appliances are wrapped in reusable blankets; boxes are stacked to avoid crushing and movement; and we plan van loads to minimise handling. Where possible, we use recyclable cartons and minimise single-use plastics. We also plan routes around Putney efficiently to reduce unnecessary journeys and fuel consumption.
If you have items you no longer need, we can help arrange responsible disposal or donation to local charities where appropriate, reducing waste and clutter before items go into storage.
Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House in Putney
Chains often fall out of sync. If you need to vacate your current home before your new property is ready, we can move everything into storage for a few days, weeks or months, keeping your move on track without pressure.
Office Relocation and Refits
Businesses relocating or refurbishing in Putney use our storage for surplus furniture, IT equipment and documents. This avoids cramming everything into the new office on day one and lets you phase the move steadily.
Urgent and Same-Week Storage
Sometimes life does not go to plan – last-minute tenancy changes, urgent repairs or personal circumstances can mean you need storage quickly. Where possible, we offer fast response storage solutions in Putney, subject to availability, and can often collect within short notice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage with Removal Van Putney cost?
Storage costs depend on how much you have to store, how long you need storage for, and whether you require packing and collection. We typically assess the volume in cubic feet or metres and quote a weekly or monthly rate, plus separate charges for collection and redelivery. For smaller loads, costs are often lower than hiring a van and self-storage when you include fuel and materials. We are always upfront about pricing and can provide different options so you can choose what best fits your budget.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in Putney?
Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice collection into storage in Putney and nearby areas. This is particularly useful for last-minute tenancy changes, emergency repairs or quick property sales. The more notice you can give us, the easier it is to secure your preferred time, but we understand that plans can change suddenly. If you need urgent storage, contact us as soon as possible with details of your situation and we will let you know what we can offer on the day.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from storage, and we operate with appropriate cover while your belongings are stored. Insurance is subject to terms and limits, which we are happy to explain and provide in writing. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may recommend additional specialist cover. We treat security and protection seriously, combining insurance with careful packing, secure facilities and trained staff to minimise any risk in the first place.
What is included in your storage service?
Our standard storage service can include collection from your property, protective wrapping of furniture, loading by our professional team, transport to our secure facility, storage for your chosen period, and redelivery to your new address. You can add a full or partial packing service if you prefer not to pack your own boxes. We also provide advice on decluttering and what size storage space you need. Every quote clearly lists what is included so you know exactly what to expect on the move and storage days.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without proper insurance, packing, or secure storage. In contrast, we provide a complete, managed service with trained staff, goods in transit insurance, suitable vehicles, protective materials and access to secure storage facilities. We plan the move, handle heavy lifting safely, and take responsibility from collection through to redelivery. This reduces the risk of damage, last-minute cancellations and unexpected costs, and gives you a single, accountable company to deal with throughout.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For the best choice of dates and to keep options open, we recommend booking storage one to three weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer. However, we understand that circumstances change, and we regularly help customers at shorter notice. Once you know your likely dates and volume, get in touch and we can reserve space provisionally while details are confirmed. The earlier you contact us, the easier it is to plan a smooth collection and redelivery around your schedule.
