Household Storage Teddington – Secure, Flexible Space for Your Home
At Storage Teddington, we provide secure, flexible household storage for local residents and businesses who need extra space, whether for a few weeks or a few years. As an experienced removals and storage company, we understand how to protect your belongings properly – from single items to the full contents of a home.
Professional Household Storage in Teddington
Our Teddington storage facility is designed around the way people in the local area really use storage. You can store a few boxes, furniture between moves, or the contents of your entire property during refurbishment. Units are clean, dry and secure, with options to combine storage with our professional removals and packing services for a completely managed solution.
Because we operate as a removals business as well as a storage provider, we know exactly how to handle, pack and stack your possessions so they stay safe and easily accessible.
Who Our Household Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are moving house, decluttering for a sale or carrying out renovation work, our household storage offers a safe place for furniture, appliances and personal effects. We can collect directly from your property, store securely, and deliver to your new address when you are ready.
Renters
For tenants between lets, relocating for work or travelling, storage can work out far cheaper and easier than rushing into a new tenancy. Store as little or as much as you like, with flexible terms that match your plans.
Landlords
Landlords often use our storage to hold furniture during refurbishments, changeovers or when switching between furnished and unfurnished lets. We can remove, store and redeliver items to suit your schedule, helping you keep void periods to a minimum.
Businesses
Local businesses use our business storage for excess furniture, seasonal stock, marketing materials and archive boxes. We can provide regular access and collection/delivery services, reducing the need for larger premises.
Students
Students in and around Teddington and southwest London use our student storage over the summer or during placements abroad. Store clothes, books, small furniture and tech without dragging everything back home between terms.
What You Can Store with Us
Our units are suitable for most everyday household items, including:
- Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other furniture
- Fridges, freezers, washing machines and small appliances (defrosted and dry)
- Boxes of clothes, books, toys and personal belongings
- Sports equipment, bicycles and hobby items
- Home office equipment, desks and filing cabinets
- Decorations, pictures, mirrors and ornaments
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are not allowed in storage:
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (fuels, paints, gas cylinders, chemicals)
- Illegal goods or stolen property
- Perishable or open food items
- Live plants or animals
- Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents (we recommend a bank safety deposit box)
If you are unsure about a particular item, our team will advise before your move into storage.
How Our Household Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quotation
Contact us by phone, email or online form with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few simple questions, recommend an appropriate unit size, and provide a clear, no-obligation quotation. Pricing covers storage, any collection or delivery you require, and optional packing services.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger volumes or whole-house contents, we can arrange a virtual or onsite survey. An experienced move consultant assesses the items involved, access at your property, parking and any special requirements. This lets us allocate the right vehicle, team and storage space, and guarantees an accurate price before you commit.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or use our professional packing service. Our trained team bring quality packing materials, dismantle large furniture where necessary, wrap fragile items and label everything clearly. We can also supply boxes and materials if you prefer to pack yourself but want everything properly protected for storage.
4. Collection, Loading & Transport
On the agreed day, our trained removals crew arrive on time, protect floors and banisters, and carefully load your goods. Items are wrapped and stacked securely in the vehicle for safe transport to our Teddington storage facility. We handle heavy lifting, awkward access and parking arrangements so you don’t have to.
5. Secure Storage & Future Redelivery
On arrival, your belongings are unloaded into your allocated storage unit and stacked so that key items remain accessible. When you are ready to have your goods back, simply contact us to arrange redelivery to your new or existing address. We can also move items from storage directly into your new home as part of a full removals service.
Transparent Household Storage Pricing
We believe storage pricing should be straightforward and predictable. Your quotation will normally include:
- Weekly or monthly storage charge based on unit size
- Collection from your property (if required)
- Return delivery (if booked in advance or requested later)
- Optional packing and materials
There are no hidden charges for basic access or standard insurance cover. Longer-term bookings and combined removals and storage often qualify for preferential rates, which we will explain clearly in writing.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Using a professional removals and storage company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or hiring an informal man-and-van service:
- Correct unit size advice so you do not overpay for space you don’t need
- Trained handling of heavy and fragile items, reducing the risk of damage or injury
- Fully insured transport and storage options for peace of mind
- Purpose-designed vehicles and protective equipment
- Consistency – the same company collecting, storing and redelivering your goods
With DIY or unregulated man-and-van services, you often lose these safeguards, and any damage or loss can be difficult to resolve.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We operate to recognised industry standards and take our responsibility for your belongings seriously.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while being moved between your home and our storage facility.
- Public liability insurance – protects you and your property while our staff are working in your home or building.
- Trained moving teams – all staff receive instruction in safe lifting, packing, stacking and handling of delicate items.
Full details of cover levels and any exclusions are provided with your quotation so you know exactly where you stand.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every stored item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are covered, and boxes are stacked to avoid crushing. Units are clean, dry and monitored, helping to prevent damp and dust build-up during longer stays in storage.
We are also working to improve our environmental impact by reusing cartons where suitable, offering durable reusable crates for some moves, minimising waste and optimising routes to reduce unnecessary mileage. Where possible, we source packing materials from suppliers with sustainable practices.
Real-World Household Storage Use Cases
Moving House with a Gap Between Dates
Completion dates do not always line up. We regularly move the full contents of a home into storage for a few days or weeks, then deliver to the new address once keys are available. This avoids last-minute panic and pressure.
Office or Home Office Relocation
Businesses and home workers use storage to bridge the gap between offices, or when downsizing and keeping surplus desks, chairs and equipment. We can move directly from office to storage and later from storage to your new premises.
Urgent or Same-Week Moves
Sometimes notice is short – a sale goes through quickly, a tenancy ends unexpectedly, or building work has to start sooner than planned. Where we have availability, we can arrange urgent storage moves, collecting and storing your items safely until your plans settle down.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does household storage in Teddington cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need and how long you need it for. Smaller units suitable for a few boxes and small items are naturally cheaper than larger spaces for full household contents. Your price may also include collection and redelivery, plus any packing you choose. After a quick discussion or survey, we will provide a clear written quote showing storage charges, any transport costs and optional extras, so you can see exactly what you are paying for before you decide.
Can you offer same-day or urgent household storage?
Where we have capacity, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage, especially for smaller volumes. If you need emergency storage due to a chain break, sudden tenancy change or unexpected building work, contact us as early in the day as possible. We will check vehicle and unit availability, then propose the most practical solution. While we cannot guarantee same-day slots at all times, we are used to working to tight deadlines and will always try to accommodate urgent requests.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved, and we can provide storage insurance for items held in our facility. Basic cover is usually included, with the option to increase the value if you are storing higher-value items. We will ask you for an estimated total replacement value to ensure cover is adequate. Full terms, conditions and any exclusions are supplied with your quotation so you can review them carefully and adjust the level of protection if needed.
What is included in your household storage service?
At its simplest, our service includes a secure, clean storage unit and basic insurance cover. Most customers also choose our collection and loading service, where our trained team collect from your property, protect items and transport them to storage. You can add professional packing and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and eventual redelivery to your new or existing address. We will tailor the package around what you need, so you only pay for the services that are genuinely useful to you.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van will typically move your items from A to B with limited protection, minimal paperwork and often no meaningful insurance. We offer a managed service: professional staff, proper equipment, secure storage, documented inventory if required and clear liability arrangements. Because we handle both removals and storage, we can plan the entire journey of your possessions from collection to final delivery. This usually results in better protection, less damage and a smoother experience, particularly when storing full household contents.
How far in advance should I book household storage?
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives us time to arrange surveys if needed, reserve the correct unit size and schedule our teams and vehicles. However, we understand that not all moves are planned that far ahead. If your dates are uncertain, we can pencil in provisional arrangements and adjust as your situation becomes clearer, subject to availability. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can usually offer.
