Furniture Storage Shooters Hill
At Storage Shooters Hill, we provide secure, flexible furniture storage for homes and businesses across Shooters Hill and the surrounding areas. Whether you are moving house, renovating, decluttering, or between tenancies, we collect, protect, store and redeliver your furniture with care.
Professional Furniture Storage in Shooters Hill
Our service is designed for people who want their furniture stored safely without the hassle of hiring a van, lifting heavy items or worrying about damage. We use purpose-built storage units, professional packing materials and trained teams to ensure your belongings are properly protected for short or long periods.
We understand the layout, property types and parking challenges around Shooters Hill, from period terraces to modern flats. That local knowledge helps us plan access, parking and timing so your collection and redelivery run smoothly.
Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, downsizing or renovating, our home furniture storage keeps your belongings safe while you complete works or wait for your new property. We can store single items, full rooms or the entire contents of your home.
Renters
Between lets or relocating for work? We collect your furniture directly from your rental property and store it for as long as you need. When you have your new place sorted, we deliver it back and place everything where you want it.
Landlords
Landlords often need short-term furniture storage between tenancies, during refurbishments or when changing from furnished to unfurnished. We can remove, store and later re-deliver or dispose of agreed items, helping you turn properties around quickly.
Businesses
Offices, shops and other commercial premises use our business furniture storage for desks, chairs, filing cabinets, POS units and display furniture during relocations, refurbishments or seasonal changes. We offer itemised inventories so you always know what is in storage.
Students
Students moving out of halls or shared houses for the summer can store beds, desks, sofas and other furniture without dragging everything home. We can collect from accommodation and deliver back when term starts again.

How Our Furniture Storage Service Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Get in touch by phone or online form with details of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few simple questions about your property access, number of items and any dismantling or packing required. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and redelivery.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger jobs or full households, we may arrange a quick video call or onsite survey in Shooters Hill. This helps us assess access, parking, item sizes and any fragile pieces. The survey allows us to send the right vehicle, equipment and team, and avoids surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
On collection day, our professional team arrives with protective materials. We can provide a full packing service or simply wrap and protect furniture only. Items such as wardrobes and beds can be dismantled if needed. Everything is tagged and listed, creating an inventory so you know exactly what is in storage.
4. Loading & Transport
Furniture is carefully carried, using floor and door protection where required. We load into our vehicles using blankets, straps and covers to prevent movement and scuffing during transit. Your items are then taken straight to our secure local storage facility.
5. Storage, Unloading & Placement on Return
At our facility, items are unloaded into clean, dry, lockable units. When you are ready for your furniture back, we schedule a convenient delivery time. On arrival, we bring the items into your property and place them in the rooms you specify, reassembling dismantled items if agreed in advance.
Transparent Furniture Storage Pricing
We believe in straightforward pricing with no surprises. Our quotes are based on four main factors:
- The volume of furniture (usually measured in cubic feet or metres)
- The length of time you need storage
- Access at your property (stairs, lifts, parking restrictions)
- Any additional services such as packing, dismantling or reassembly
You will receive a written quotation showing collection costs, weekly or monthly storage charges, and redelivery costs. Discounts are often available for longer-term storage. If your requirements change, we will update the pricing before doing any extra work.
Why Use Professional Furniture Storage Instead of DIY?
Hiring a van and doing it yourself can seem cheaper, but many people underestimate the time, effort and risk involved. Heavy lifting without proper equipment can lead to injuries, and poorly packed vans are a common cause of damage to furniture.
With Storage Shooters Hill, you benefit from:
- Trained teams using the correct lifting techniques and equipment
- Professional packing and protection of your furniture
- Secure storage facilities rather than damp garages or sheds
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Clear documentation and inventories
A casual man-and-van service may be fine for a few boxes, but for valuable or sentimental furniture, a fully insured, professional storage company gives you far greater peace of mind.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your furniture is important to you, so we treat it as if it were our own. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while being moved between your property and our storage facility
- Public liability cover for work carried out at your home or business
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling bulky, heavy and delicate furniture
Our crews follow established handling procedures and use appropriate protection for doors, walls and floors where necessary. If you require additional insurance for particularly high-value items, we can discuss options at the quotation stage.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care to minimise damage, waste and environmental impact. Furniture is wrapped in reusable padded blankets and durable covers to reduce one-use plastics. When additional packing materials are required, we source recyclable options wherever possible.
We encourage re-use of furniture and can store items while you decide what to keep, sell or donate. Well-packed and properly stored pieces last longer, cutting down on unnecessary replacements and landfill.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House
Chains can fall through or completion dates can slip. Our house move furniture storage is ideal if you need to move out before your new place is ready. We can also coordinate with your removals to streamline the entire process.
Office Relocation
Businesses often need temporary storage during phased office moves or refurbishments. We collect surplus desks, chairs and equipment, store them securely, and return them when your new layout is ready.
Renovations and Refurbishments
Keeping furniture in dusty rooms or on-site can ruin soft furnishings and wood finishes. Storing items offsite protects them from builders’ dust, paint and accidental knocks.
Urgent or Short-Notice Storage
Evictions, emergency repairs or sudden relocations can create an urgent need for storage. Where possible, we offer fast or same-day collection slots in Shooters Hill and the nearby areas, subject to availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space your furniture takes up and how long you need storage. There is usually a one-off charge for collection and then a weekly or monthly storage fee. Redelivery is quoted separately. Smaller loads such as a single room of furniture will naturally cost less than storing a full house. After a quick discussion or survey, we provide a written quote so you know exactly what you will pay, with no hidden extras.
Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture storage?
In many cases, yes. If we have vehicle and unit availability, we can arrange same-day or next-day collection in Shooters Hill and nearby areas. This is particularly useful for emergency repairs, urgent moves or unexpected tenancy changes. The more notice you can give us, the better choice of times we can offer, but we will always do our best to help at short notice. Call us to discuss your situation and we will confirm what is possible.
Are my items insured while in storage?
Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while being collected and delivered, and our public liability cover applies while we are working at your property. Standard storage cover is included, and we can explain the limits clearly when you book. If you have particularly high-value or antique items, you may wish to arrange additional cover through your own insurer; we can provide inventory lists and values to help support that.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
Our standard service includes collection from your property, protective wrapping of furniture, transport to our secure facility, storage in clean and dry units, and redelivery when you need your items back. We also offer optional extras such as dismantling and reassembly of larger pieces, full packing of loose items and flexible access arrangements for longer-term clients. All charges are explained in advance so you can choose the level of service that suits your needs and budget.
How is your service different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may move items from A to B, but usually will not provide structured inventories, secure long-term storage or comprehensive insurance. Our crews are trained in safe handling, our vehicles carry the correct equipment, and our storage facility is monitored and purpose-built. You receive clear documentation, agreed dates and times, and professional support throughout. For valuable or sentimental furniture, the additional protection and accountability we offer can make a significant difference.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
We recommend booking as early as you can, especially during busy periods such as the summer and month-end. A week or two’s notice is usually ideal, but we regularly accommodate shorter notice when our schedule allows. Early booking gives you more choice of collection dates and allows time for a survey if needed. Even if your dates are not fixed yet, it is worth speaking to us so we can pencil you in and advise on the best plan.
