Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you're selling, downsizing or renovating, we can collect and store your furniture while you complete your sale or project. By removing bulkier items, you free up space, protect valuable pieces from dust and damage, and make your home easier to present or work on.
Renters
Between tenancies or moving in with a partner? Our storage service allows you to keep your furniture without committing to a larger property straight away. We can collect from your current rental and store everything until your next place is ready.
Landlords
For landlords managing furnished or part-furnished properties, we can store surplus furniture between lets, during refurbishments or while you decide how best to use a property. This avoids the cost and hassle of constantly buying and selling furniture.
Businesses
Our furniture storage is ideal for offices, shops and other commercial premises. Store surplus desks, chairs, filing cabinets, shelving and reception furniture during relocations, refurbishments or seasonal changes. We can coordinate closely with your facilities or office management teams.
Students
Students moving home for the summer or going on placement can store beds, desks, drawers and other furniture safely rather than moving everything back and forth. We offer flexible, shorter-term storage options that work around term times.
What We Can Store
We can safely store most household and office furniture, including:
- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
- Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
- Office desks, task chairs, filing cabinets and boardroom furniture
- Bookshelves, TV units and occasional tables
- Garden furniture (properly cleaned and dry)
- Selected fragile items such as mirrors and framed pictures, when appropriately packed
What Cannot Be Stored
For safety, legal and hygiene reasons, there are some items we cannot accept into storage:
- Perishable or open food and drink
- Live plants or animals
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including paint, gas bottles, fuel and chemicals)
- Illegal items or anything acquired unlawfully
- Cash, jewellery or other high-value small items better suited to a safe or bank
- Damp, infested or heavily soiled furniture that could affect other customers' goods
If you are unsure about a particular item, please ask – we will advise on what is acceptable and suggest alternatives where needed.
How Our Furniture Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or through our website to outline what you need to store, where from and for how long. We'll ask a few simple questions about the property and the type of furniture. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining the collection, storage and redelivery costs.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex jobs, we recommend a survey. This can often be done virtually using photos or video, or we can visit in person in Hatton. The survey allows us to assess access, parking, staircases and lift use, and to check volumes accurately so we allocate the right number of staff, vehicles and storage units.
3. Packing & Preparation
On collection day, our trained team dismantles larger items where needed, protects furniture with covers, and wraps delicate pieces. If you prefer, we can also provide a full packing service for any associated smaller items, or supply packing materials if you wish to do this yourself.
4. Loading & Transport
Your furniture is loaded carefully onto our purpose-equipped vehicles, using padding, ties and protective equipment to prevent movement and damage in transit. Everything is inventoried so we know exactly what has gone into storage and which container it is in. We then transport it directly to our secure storage facility.
5. Unloading & Containerised Storage
At the storage facility, your items are unloaded into individual storage containers or designated spaces. These are clean, dry, and monitored, with restricted access. When you are ready, we schedule redelivery and place items into the correct rooms at your new address, reassembling furniture as agreed.
Transparent Furniture Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. The overall cost of furniture storage with Storage Hatton will typically include:
- Collection and loading charges – based on the size of the team, vehicle requirements and time on site
- Storage charges – usually calculated per container or per square foot, per week or per month
- Redelivery charges – similar to collection, depending on the final address and volume
There are no hidden extras for standard work. Any potential additional costs (such as out-of-hours work, complex access or special packing materials) are discussed upfront so you can make informed decisions.
Why Choose Professional Furniture Storage Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Using a professional storage and removals company offers several advantages over hiring a casual man-and-van or attempting to move and store everything yourself:
- Trained staff who understand correct lifting techniques and handling of awkward or heavy items
- Proper equipment – blankets, covers, trolleys and straps to protect your furniture and property
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for peace of mind
- Secure, purpose-designed storage facilities rather than improvised garages or sheds
- Accurate inventories and labelling so nothing goes missing
For many customers, avoiding injury, damage and stress more than justifies the difference in cost.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Storage Hatton operates to recognised industry standards. We maintain:
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your furniture while it is being moved
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property during our work
- Trained moving teams who receive ongoing instruction in safe handling and customer care
We can explain in plain language what our insurance covers and where you may wish to arrange additional cover through your own insurer, particularly for very high-value or antique items.
Caring for Your Furniture and the Environment
We treat your belongings with the same care we would give our own. Furniture is wrapped with reusable pads and covers, and items are stacked and stored to minimise pressure points or warping. Mattresses and upholstered items are protected against dust and marking.
We also work to reduce waste and improve sustainability. Where possible, we use reusable materials over single-use plastics, plan routes efficiently to cut fuel use, and maintain our vehicles regularly to keep emissions as low as practical.
Real-World Furniture Storage Use Cases
Moving House
When completion dates don't quite line up, our storage acts as a bridge. We collect from your old home, hold your furniture securely, then deliver when your new property is ready. This avoids rushed decisions or squeezing everything into temporary accommodation.
Office Relocation
Businesses often need staged moves or temporary storage of surplus furniture while new layouts are finalised. We can phase collections and deliveries to align with your project plan, minimising disruption to staff and customers.
Urgent Moves
Sometimes circumstances change quickly – a sale completes sooner than expected, or urgent works are needed at home or in the office. Subject to availability, we can often arrange short-notice collection and storage, giving you breathing space to plan next steps properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Hatton cost?
The cost depends on how much furniture you have, how long you need storage for and where we are collecting from and delivering to. Typically, you will pay a collection fee, a weekly or monthly storage rate based on the volume of goods, and a redelivery charge. We provide a clear written quote before you commit, itemising each element so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras for standard access and normal working hours.
Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture storage?
In many cases, yes. If we have vehicle space, staff availability and storage capacity, we can arrange same-day or very short-notice collection in Hatton and the surrounding areas. The more information you can give us when you call – such as property type, parking, and a rough list of items – the quicker we can confirm what is possible. Urgent bookings are handled on a first-come, first-served basis, so it is always best to contact us as early in the day as you can.
Is my furniture insured while in storage?
Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved, and by our standard storage insurance while in our facility, subject to policy terms and declared values. We will explain the cover limits and any exclusions before you book so you can decide whether to arrange additional cover through your own insurer, especially for antiques or high-value items. Our facilities are secure and monitored, and our teams are trained to reduce the risk of damage or loss.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
Our standard service includes collection by a professional team, protective wrapping of furniture as needed, transport to our storage facility, secure containerised storage, and redelivery to your new address at the end of the storage period. We also provide basic dismantling and reassembly of standard items, such as bed frames and dining tables, by agreement. Optional extras include full packing of smaller belongings, specialised packing materials and out-of-hours services where required.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van will usually provide transport only, with limited protection, no dedicated storage and often no formal insurance. In contrast, we offer a managed service with trained staff, suitable vehicles, proper protective materials, secure storage facilities and documented inventories. We hold public liability cover and goods in transit insurance, and we work to established standards for handling and storing furniture. This reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes and gives you greater peace of mind.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
Where possible, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need collection on a specific date or at month-end, which can be busy. That said, we often accommodate shorter notice, and sometimes same-day requests, depending on availability. Once you know your key dates, contact us and we will hold a provisional slot while we finalise the details. Early booking also allows time to arrange any parking suspensions or access permissions if required.
