This local knowledge means we can plan vehicle access, arrange parking suspensions where required, and minimise disruption to neighbours. It also allows us to offer realistic timescales and dependable arrival windows, giving you confidence that your collection and re-delivery will run to schedule.

Our Step-by-Step Storage & Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with details of what you need to store, where you are in Frognal or the surrounding area, and how long you expect to need storage. We ask a few practical questions about access, floors, and any fragile or bulky items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining collection, storage and re-delivery costs.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger properties or more complex jobs, we arrange a short video or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volume accurately, check access (lifts, stairs, parking) and identify any special packing or dismantling requirements. A proper survey means we send the right size vehicle and crew, avoid surprises on the day, and can confirm your price in writing.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, our trained team arrives with the necessary packing materials. We can provide:
- Full packing – we pack everything for you using boxes, wrapping paper and protective covers.
- Part packing – we pack fragile or high-value items, while you handle the rest.
- Self-pack – you pack your own boxes, and we supply materials on request.
Furniture is wrapped in quilted blankets or export wrap, and mattresses and sofas are protected with covers. Items are labelled and inventoried for easy tracking while in storage.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
We load your belongings carefully onto our vehicles, using trolleys and lifting equipment where needed. The crew secures everything for transport to our storage facility. Your goods are then unloaded into your allocated storage module or container, following the inventory so that nothing is misplaced.
5. Unloading & Placement on Return
When you are ready for your items back, you contact us to arrange re-delivery. We retrieve your storage module, load the vehicle and bring everything to your new address. The team then unloads, places furniture in the rooms you specify, and can reassemble items we dismantled, such as beds and wardrobes.
Pricing for Household Storage
We believe in clear, transparent pricing. Your total cost is made up of:
- Collection – the removal team, vehicle and packing (if required).
- Storage – a weekly or monthly rate based on the volume of items stored.
- Re-delivery – the return trip from our facility to your new or existing address.
We will always explain how your quote has been calculated and outline any optional extras, such as additional packing, dismantling or disposal of unwanted items. There are no hidden charges: access fees, insurance arrangements and any minimum storage period are made clear from the outset.
Why Choose Professional Storage & Removals vs DIY
Hiring a professional storage and removals company is usually more efficient, safer and often more economical than arranging everything yourself or using an informal man-and-van:
- We provide trained crews who know how to handle heavy and fragile items without damage.
- Our vehicles are purpose-built and properly equipped.
- We include appropriate insurance cover, which many casual operators do not.
- You avoid the risk of injury from improper lifting or stacking.
- Your belongings are stored in controlled conditions, not in ad-hoc garages or lock-ups.
With us, you deal with a single, accountable company from collection through to final delivery.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. Storage Frognal operates to high professional standards and provides robust protection:
- Goods in transit insurance for your items while they are being moved between your property and our facility.
- Public liability cover for work carried out in your home or building.
- Fully insured storage facility with monitored security and restricted access.
- Trained, uniformed staff following established handling and safety procedures.
We are happy to discuss cover levels and can arrange enhanced insurance for particularly valuable items, subject to valuation and terms.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We place strong emphasis on the careful handling and long-term protection of your possessions. Furniture is always wrapped; televisions and fragile items receive extra padding; and boxes are stacked thoughtfully to avoid crushing. Our storage areas are dry and well ventilated to minimise risk of damp or mould.
We also work to reduce waste and operate more sustainably by reusing strong cartons where appropriate, recycling packaging where possible, and planning routes efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage. Where clients want to dispose of unwanted items, we prioritise reuse and responsible recycling rather than landfill wherever practical.
Typical Household Storage Use Cases
Moving House
If completion dates do not line up, or you are downsizing and not yet sure what will fit, short or medium-term storage can relieve the pressure. We can take a full house contents into storage, then deliver in stages once you are settled in your new home.
Office or Business Relocation
Businesses in Frognal often use our storage when refurbishing offices, changing layouts or moving premises. We can store desks, chairs, files and IT equipment securely until your new space is ready, coordinating with your move schedule to keep disruption to a minimum.
Urgent or Emergency Moves
Sometimes moves happen quickly due to relationship changes, urgent repairs or unexpected tenancy issues. We can usually react at short notice, collecting belongings and placing them into secure storage so you have breathing space to plan your next steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does household storage in Frognal cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much you store, how long for, and the level of removal support you require. We price storage by volume, so you only pay for the space you actually use. Collection and re-delivery are quoted separately based on property size, access and distance. Short-term storage of a few items can be very affordable, while a full house stored for several months will obviously cost more. We always provide a clear written quotation before you commit.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where our schedule allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day collection into storage, especially for smaller properties or partial loads. Availability is best when you contact us as early in the day as possible, and some flexibility with timeslots is helpful. For larger homes, we may need to send a surveyor or arrange a brief virtual survey first, but we still move quickly. If you have an emergency situation, let us know the circumstances and we will do our best to prioritise you.
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 insurance while in store, subject to policy terms and declared values. Standard cover is suitable for most customers, but higher-value collections may need enhanced insurance, which we can arrange at additional cost. We will explain the cover limits, any exclusions and the claims process before you sign your agreement. You are also free to use your own policy if preferred, provided it specifically covers items in storage.
What is included in your household storage service?
Our standard service includes a professional removals team, vehicle, basic protective materials, loading, transport to our facility, secure storage in a dedicated space and re-delivery on the agreed date. Optional extras include full or part packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, supply of packing materials and disposal of unwanted items. All inclusions and optional services are itemised in your quote so you can select the level of support that suits your needs and budget.
How is this different from using a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically provides transport only, with limited or no insurance, no secure storage, and no guarantee of trained staff. By contrast, we offer a complete, accountable service: professional crews, structured inventory, proper protection of your belongings, dedicated storage space and clear terms. If something goes wrong, you have recourse through our company and our insurers. For valuable household contents or longer-term storage, this higher standard of care and reliability is usually well worth the modest additional cost.
How far in advance should I book storage and collection?
For planned moves, we recommend booking 2–4 weeks ahead to secure your preferred date, especially in busy periods such as summer and month-end. However, we understand that not all moves are predictable. We keep some flexibility in our schedule for late enquiries and can often help at short notice. Even if your dates are uncertain, it is sensible to contact us early so we can propose options and pencil in provisional slots, which we can adjust as your situation becomes clearer.
