Secure Storage Services in Ealing by Ealing Movers

At Ealing Movers we provide safe, flexible and professionally managed storage solutions for households and businesses across Ealing and the surrounding areas. Whether you need short-term storage during a move or a longer-term space for stock, we combine secure facilities with a fully managed removals service so your belongings are protected from door to door.

Professional Storage with Local Ealing Expertise

Based in Ealing, we understand the storage challenges that come with London living – limited space, time pressures and busy streets. Our team of trained, local movers know the area well, from residential streets in Northfields to commercial premises in Ealing Broadway, which means efficient collections, careful handling and punctual deliveries back out of storage.

We provide door-to-door storage: we collect, pack if required, load, store and later redeliver your goods. You won’t need to hire a van, lift heavy items or navigate a distant storage depot.

Who Our Ealing Storage Service Is For

Our storage options are designed to work for a wide range of customers across West London:

• Homeowners – Decluttering before sale, bridging between completion dates, or storing furniture during renovations.
• Renters – Between tenancies, moving in with a partner, or downsizing to a smaller flat.
• Landlords – Safely storing furniture between lets or while refurbishing a property.
• Businesses – Archive documents, seasonal stock, exhibition materials, office furniture and equipment.
• Students – Term-time or holiday storage for belongings instead of hauling them back and forth.

Whether it’s one room’s contents or a full office suite, we can tailor a storage plan to your space and time requirements.

What Can Go Into Storage?

Most everyday household and business items can be safely stored. Typical items include:

• Domestic furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables and chairs
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (defrosted), cookers and microwaves
• Boxes of clothes, books, kitchenware, toys and personal belongings
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and storage units
• IT equipment – monitors, PCs, printers and peripherals (properly packed)
• Retail stock, promotional stands and marketing materials

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, certain items cannot be placed into our storage facilities:

• Perishable goods and food items
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (e.g. petrol, paint thinners, gas cylinders)
• Illegal goods or anything obtained unlawfully
• Live plants or animals
• Cash, jewellery or other high-value portable valuables (these are better kept in a safe or bank)
• Unregistered firearms or weapons

If you are unsure about a specific item, we will advise you during the quotation or survey stage.

How Our Storage & Removals Process Works

We manage the entire journey from your door in Ealing to secure storage and back again. Our process is clear and straightforward:

1. Enquiry & Quotation

You contact us with an outline of what you need to store, your address and your timescales. We’ll ask a few questions about access, quantity and any special items. Based on this, we’ll provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and redelivery, with any optional services such as packing listed separately.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger or more complex jobs, we recommend a short virtual survey or an onsite visit in Ealing. This allows us to accurately assess the volume, identify fragile or bulky items and plan access (lifts, parking, stairs). An accurate survey helps us allocate the right team, vehicle and storage space, avoiding surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Full packing service – Our professional packers bring all materials and pack your belongings securely.
• Part packing – We pack fragile or high-value items; you handle the rest.
• Self packing – You pack your items; we supply quality boxes and materials if required.

Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are bagged and breakables are packed in strong cartons to ensure they are protected while in storage.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

On collection day, our trained team arrives at the agreed time. We protect floors and doorways where needed, carefully carry items out, load them methodically into our vehicle and transport them to our secure storage facility. Everything is labelled and inventoried so we know exactly what you have stored.

5. Secure Storage, Unloading & Later Redelivery

At the facility, items are unloaded into your allocated unit or container. They are stored clean, dry and secure for as long as you need. When you are ready to receive your goods, we arrange a convenient delivery date, bring them back to your new address and place items in the rooms you specify.

Transparent, Fair Pricing for Storage in Ealing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our charges typically comprise:

• Collection fee – Based on the size of the team, vehicle and time required.
• Storage fee – A weekly or monthly rate tied to the volume of goods and duration.
• Redelivery fee – Similar to collection, depending on destination and access.
• Optional extras – Packing service, packing materials, dismantling/reassembly.

There are no hidden charges; all costs are explained in writing before you book. For longer-term storage, we can often offer reduced rates.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?

Using a professional removals and storage company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van:

• Trained teams who understand safe lifting, handling and packing techniques.
• Purpose-built vehicles with protection to reduce the risk of damage in transit.
• Secure, monitored storage facilities rather than makeshift or shared spaces.
• Documented inventory so you know what is stored and can retrieve items easily.
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for your peace of mind.

DIY or informal services may appear cheaper initially, but the risk of damage, injury or loss can quickly outweigh any savings.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We take our responsibility for your belongings seriously. As a professional removals and storage company, we maintain appropriate insurance and standards:

• Goods in transit insurance – Protects your items while they are being moved between your address and our storage facility.
• Public liability cover – Protects you and your property while our team is working on-site.
• Trained moving teams – All staff receive ongoing training in packing, lifting techniques and safe working practices.

We are careful to explain any policy limits and exclusions so you understand exactly how your goods are protected. Additional cover can be arranged for particularly high-value items if required.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Your belongings are treated as if they were our own. We use clean blankets, specialist wrapping and mattress covers, and we secure loads properly inside the vehicle to minimise movement. In storage, units are dry, ventilated and protected from the elements.

We also consider our environmental impact. Wherever possible we use recyclable materials, encourage the re-use of cartons and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. If you wish, we can collect unwanted furniture and arrange for responsible disposal or donation rather than sending items straight to landfill.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

• Moving house – When completion dates do not line up, we can store your entire household contents for days, weeks or months.
• Office relocations – Businesses in Ealing often use our storage for furniture and equipment while new premises are prepared.
• Renovations and refurbishments – Keep your belongings safe and dust-free while builders are in.
• Urgent or same-day moves – If a move is brought forward unexpectedly, we can place items into storage at short notice and deliver once you are ready.
• Seasonal or student storage – Ideal for those who only need space for part of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with Ealing Movers cost?

Storage costs depend on the amount of space you need, how long you need it for and the collection/redelivery requirements. We usually price storage by volume (for example, cubic feet or the number of containers) with a weekly or monthly rate. Collection and redelivery are then quoted based on the size of the team, journey distance and time involved. Once we understand your needs, we’ll provide a clear, written quote with all charges broken down so you know exactly what you’ll pay.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in Ealing?

In many cases, yes. If we have vehicle and storage capacity, we can arrange same-day or next-day collection into storage for urgent situations, such as a move falling through or sudden property access issues. The best approach is to call us as soon as you know you have an issue. We’ll check availability, confirm what you need to store and do our best to accommodate you. Short-notice jobs are handled with the same care and professionalism as planned moves.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from storage, and stored within our facility under our standard terms. We will explain the cover limits, any exclusions and the process for declaring higher-value items before you book. For particularly valuable possessions, you may wish to arrange additional cover or specify items individually. Our team will always handle your belongings with care, but proper insurance provides an extra layer of reassurance during longer-term storage.

What is included in your storage and removals service?

Our standard service includes collection from your address in Ealing, professional loading, transport to our secure facility, storage in a clean and protected environment, and redelivery to your new or existing address when required. We also provide basic protection such as blankets and wrapping for furniture. Optional services include full or part packing, supply of packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and help with positioning items on redelivery. All included services and any extras are clearly listed in your quote.

How is your service different from a man-and-van?

While a man-and-van can be adequate for very small, simple jobs, our service is structured, insured and fully managed. We provide trained teams, purpose-built removal vehicles, secure monitored storage and proper documentation of your goods. We also carry goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, which many casual operators may not. In practice this means less risk of damage, loss or delays, and a clearer understanding of who is responsible for your belongings at each stage.

How far in advance should I book storage?

We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly during busy periods such as summer, month end and school holidays. A week or two’s notice is ideal for most jobs, allowing time for a survey and planning. However, we understand that storage is often needed at short notice, so we always keep some flexibility where we can. Even if your dates are not fixed, it’s helpful to contact us early so we can pencil you in and adjust as your plans firm up.
