Who Our Household Storage Service Is For
Our storage options are designed to work for a wide range of customers in Gunnersbury:
Homeowners
Ideal if you are moving house, staging your property for sale, downsizing or renovating. Store excess furniture, seasonal items and valuables safely out of the way until you are ready for them again.
Renters
Perfect when changing tenancies, moving in with a partner, taking a long trip or waiting for a new property to be ready. Avoid rushing decisions or parting with belongings you still need.
Landlords
Use our storage to keep furniture, white goods and spare items safe between tenancies. Protect your investment and reduce wear and tear by storing items offsite during refurbishments or void periods.
Businesses
Small businesses and home-based companies use our units for archiving, surplus office furniture, exhibition equipment and seasonal stock. We offer flexible access and clear, itemised inventories on request.
Students
Students in Gunnersbury and nearby universities can store belongings over the holidays, during placements or gap years. Avoid the cost and effort of transporting everything back and forth each term.

How Our Household Storage Process Works
We aim to keep things clear and straightforward from first enquiry to final delivery.
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a brief description of what you need to store and for how long. We will discuss your situation, recommend a suitable unit size and provide a transparent, no-obligation quote based on volume, access needs and duration.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger amounts of furniture or full households, we may arrange a virtual video survey or an onsite visit. This lets us accurately assess volume, access, parking and any special handling requirements, ensuring the right team, vehicle and materials are allocated.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or use our professional packing service. We supply quality boxes, wrap and protective covers. For fragile or high-value items, we use specialist materials and techniques to reduce risk of damage in transit and during storage.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained moving team will carefully load your possessions, using floor protectors, blankets, straps and covers as required. Everything is itemised if needed, then transported in our vehicles under goods in transit insurance to our secure Gunnersbury storage facility.
5. Unloading & Secure Storage Placement
On arrival, we unload your belongings directly into your allocated container or unit. Items are stacked safely to protect delicate pieces and maximise space. Once your unit is locked and secured in our facility, you can arrange access or redelivery to your new address when you are ready.
Transparent Household Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote will outline:
- Unit size and weekly or monthly storage rate
- Collection and delivery charges (if required)
- Packing materials and optional packing service costs
- Any special handling (pianos, oversized items, difficult access)
Prices are based on the space you use, how long you need it and how much support you choose from our team. We will always look for ways to minimise cost, for example by optimising unit size or combining services with a house move.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using a professional storage company like Storage Gunnersbury offers clear advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:
- Fully insured collection, transport and storage for your belongings
- Trained teams who know how to pack and lift safely
- Secure, monitored facility rather than a garage or makeshift space
- Proper inventories and labelling, so you can find items again easily
- Purpose-built vehicles and equipment to minimise damage and disruption
DIY solutions often end up costing more in time, stress and potential damage, especially in busy areas like Gunnersbury with parking, access and building management rules to consider.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take the safety of your belongings, and your peace of mind, extremely seriously.
- Goods in transit insurance – your items are covered while being collected from or delivered to your property.
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your building while we work on site.
- Trained moving and storage teams – experienced staff, proper handling techniques and safe systems of work.
We follow industry best practice on packing, lifting, stacking and security. If you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss enhanced cover and any additional precautions.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Looking after your belongings also means thinking about the wider impact of how we work.
- Use of reusable crates and durable cartons where practical
- High-quality protective materials to avoid unnecessary damage and waste
- Modern, well-maintained vehicles to reduce emissions and breakdowns
- Efficient route planning for collections and deliveries in Gunnersbury
We treat your possessions as if they were our own – carefully wrapped, clearly labelled and stored in clean, dry, pest-controlled conditions.
Common Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Completion dates don’t always line up. Our storage bridges the gap between leaving your old home and getting the keys for the new one, keeping everything safe until move-in day.
Office or Home-Office Relocation
If you are relocating your business or home office, we can store excess desks, files and equipment while you reorganise your new space, avoiding clutter and disruption.
Urgent or Last-Minute Storage
Circumstances change quickly – relationship changes, urgent property sales, landlord decisions. Where possible, we offer rapid response storage in Gunnersbury, with same-day or next-day collection subject to availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does household storage in Gunnersbury cost?
Costs depend on how much space you need, how long you require it and whether you want us to collect and deliver your items. Smaller units for boxes and a few pieces of furniture are typically very affordable, while full household contents will cost more. We price by volume and duration, not by item, so it’s usually cheaper than you expect. Contact us with a quick list or photos and we’ll provide a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras.
Can you provide same-day or urgent household storage?
In many cases, yes. If we have vehicle and unit availability, we can arrange same-day or next-day collection and storage in Gunnersbury. This is particularly helpful for sudden tenancy changes, urgent sales or last-minute renovations. The more notice you can give us, the better, but we’ll always do our best to accommodate urgent requirements. Call us as early in the day as possible so we can confirm availability, timings and any access or parking details.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved, and by our facility cover while in storage, subject to our terms and declared values. We’ll explain the standard limits and any options for additional cover for particularly valuable items. It’s important you tell us about antiques, art or high-value electronics so we can advise properly. Our fully insured approach is one of the key advantages of using a professional storage company.
What’s included in your household storage service?
At the most basic level, you receive a secure, clean, locked unit in our Gunnersbury facility, with agreed access arrangements and clear pricing. Most customers also choose collection and delivery by our professional moving team, and many add packing materials or a full packing service. We can provide protective covers, boxes, wrapping, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and inventory lists on request. We tailor the service to your needs so you only pay for the help you actually require.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van will usually just move items from A to B, often without proper insurance, training or secure storage. Storage Gunnersbury provides trained staff, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover, secure monitored storage, proper packing materials and clear documentation. We plan access, protect your property, and handle your belongings with care. The result is a safer, more reliable and often more cost-effective solution, especially for complete households or longer-term storage.
How far in advance should I book household storage?
For the best choice of unit sizes and collection slots, we recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance, especially during busy moving periods such as month-ends and summer. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always keep some flexibility for short-notice bookings. Even if your dates are not fixed yet, it’s worth speaking to us early so we can advise on options, estimate costs and pencil in provisional arrangements, which we can then firm up closer to the time.
