Professional Furniture Storage Services in Kenton
Our furniture storage service is designed to remove the stress, heavy lifting and risk from storing your belongings. We collect, carefully protect, transport and store your items in our secure facility, then return them whenever you are ready.
All work is carried out by our own trained, professional teams and backed by goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, giving you peace of mind from start to finish.
Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are moving home, downsizing, redecorating or extending. Store surplus furniture, seasonal pieces and valuable items out of the way while work is carried out, then have them delivered back when your property is ready.
Renters
If you are between tenancies, relocating temporarily, or moving into a furnished property, we can collect and store your furniture for as long as you need. Our flexible terms mean you only pay for the space and time you actually use.
Landlords
Perfect for landlords needing to store furniture between lets, change from furnished to unfurnished (or vice versa) or keep quality items safe during refurbishments. We can handle repeat collections and deliveries as your portfolio changes.
Businesses
Offices, shops and other commercial premises benefit from our furniture storage when relocating, refitting or hot-desking. Store desks, chairs, filing cabinets, reception furniture and archive shelving securely, freeing up valuable space on-site.
Students
Students often only need storage for a few months over summer or during placements. We offer cost-effective storage for beds, desks, drawers and other furniture so you do not have to move everything home and back again.

- Sofas, armchairs, footstools and sofa beds

How Our Furniture Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact our Kenton team by phone or online with a rough list of what you need to store and your timescales. We will ask a few questions and provide an initial estimate based on volume, access and collection/delivery addresses.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger jobs, we arrange a short virtual or onsite survey. This lets us measure the furniture, check access (stairs, lifts, parking) and confirm any dismantling required. It means we can give you a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed day, our trained team arrives with all materials required. We protect items with furniture blankets, export wrap and mattress covers as needed. We can also professionally pack smaller items into cartons if required, clearly labelling everything for easy return.
4. Loading & Transport
Your furniture is carefully carried out, loaded in a logical order and secured in our purpose-equipped vehicles. Our goods in transit insurance covers your items while they are being moved between your property and our Kenton storage facility.
5. Secure Storage, Unloading & Placement on Return
At our facility, we unload into your allocated storage space, placing items to prevent pressure points or damage. When you are ready, we schedule redelivery. On return, we bring each piece into the correct room and place it where you want it, reassembling any items we dismantled.
Transparent Furniture Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing for our Kenton customers. Your quote will typically include:
- Collection from your property
- Protective materials (blankets, wrap, covers)
- Transport to and from our storage facility
- Storage charges based on volume and duration
- Redelivery and placement on your chosen date
Costs depend on how much space your furniture needs, how long it will be stored, and the logistics of access and distance. We explain all charges clearly in writing before you book, so you know exactly what you will pay and what is included.
Why Choose Professional Storage Kenton Over DIY or Basic Man-and-Van?
Storing furniture properly is more than just finding a spare room or cheap lock-up. Using a professional storage company in Kenton offers several advantages:
- Expert handling – trained teams know how to lift, protect and stack furniture correctly.
- Reduced risk – we provide goods in transit insurance and public liability cover.
- Time saving – we manage everything from collection to redelivery.
- Proper protection – suitable wrapping and storage conditions help prevent damage.
- Accountability – written quotes, booking confirmations and clear terms.
By contrast, DIY or casual man-and-van approaches often lack adequate protection, insurance and training, increasing the risk of damage and unexpected costs later on.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, both financially and sentimentally. That is why our service is fully backed by:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your furniture while being moved.
- Public liability cover – safeguarding you and your property during our work on-site.
- Trained moving teams – all staff receive manual handling and customer care training.
We follow industry best practices for wrapping, loading, stacking and storing furniture, and we document your items on collection so there is a clear record throughout their time with us.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle every item as if it were our own. Corners are protected, surfaces are covered and loads are secured in transit. Where possible, we use reusable blankets, crates and durable covers to minimise single-use packaging. Any cardboard and plastic we do use is chosen carefully and recycled wherever facilities allow.
By extending the life of your furniture through proper storage, we help reduce waste and the need to replace items unnecessarily – a small but meaningful step towards more sustainable living and working.
Real-World Uses for Furniture Storage in Kenton
Moving House
If completion dates do not line up or you are moving into temporary accommodation, we can store your furniture between moves. This keeps your items safe and allows you to move in stages rather than rushing everything in one day.
Office Relocation or Refurbishment
For businesses in Kenton, our storage is ideal during office moves, refurbishments or space reconfigurations. Keep your furniture and equipment off-site but accessible, so you can phase your project without blocking corridors or work areas.
Urgent or Short-Notice Storage
Sometimes circumstances change quickly – a sale goes through faster than expected, a tenancy ends, or building work is brought forward. Subject to availability, we can arrange short-notice collection and storage, helping you avoid last-minute scrambles and unsafe makeshift solutions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Kenton cost?
Pricing depends mainly on how much space your furniture requires, how long you need storage for, and the collection and delivery addresses. We usually calculate costs per storage unit or per cubic foot/metre, plus collection and redelivery. Short-term storage for a few items is often more affordable than people expect, while larger housefuls benefit from volume-based rates. After a quick discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote so you know the exact monthly cost and any one-off charges before you decide.
Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day collection around Kenton for urgent situations, such as last-minute completions or unexpected tenancy changes. Availability depends on our schedule and storage space at the time, so the earlier you contact us, the better. Even if we cannot collect the same day, we will work with you to find the earliest possible slot and may be able to offer a partial solution to bridge the gap. Call us to discuss your specific timings and requirements.
Is my furniture insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your furniture is protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your property and our facility, and covered by our policy while in storage, subject to our terms and declared values. We also hold public liability cover for work carried out at your home or business. We explain the key points of cover, limits and any exclusions before you book, and you are welcome to supplement this with your own policy if you prefer. Transparency around insurance is an important part of how we operate.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
Our standard service includes collection from your address, protective wrapping using blankets and covers, transport to our secure Kenton facility, safe storage for your chosen period, and redelivery with placement into the correct rooms at the end. If required, we can add optional services such as packing smaller items into boxes, dismantling and reassembling large furniture, and supplying packing materials. All inclusions and any optional extras are clearly listed in your quotation, so you can tailor the service to your needs and budget.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While a basic man-and-van may seem cheaper at first glance, it usually offers little in terms of protection, documentation or accountability. Our service uses trained staff, professional vehicles and proper protective materials. We provide written quotes, inventory and clear terms, along with goods in transit insurance and public liability cover. Your furniture is stored in a managed facility rather than an unknown lock-up. For valuable or sentimental items, the reduced risk and better handling typically far outweigh any small difference in upfront cost.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
For the best choice of dates and to keep costs down, we recommend booking as soon as you know you will need storage – ideally two to four weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. That said, we understand that plans can change quickly, and we regularly accommodate short-notice jobs where capacity allows. Even if your dates are not fixed yet, it is worth contacting us early so we can pencil you in and advise on likely availability and options.
