Secure Storage in {area} by Soho Movers
At Soho Movers, we provide secure, flexible storage solutions in {area} for households and businesses that need short or long-term space. Whether you are between moves, renovating, decluttering or expanding your business, our professional team will collect, store and return your belongings with care.
Professional Storage Services in {area}
Our storage service is designed around convenience. We come to you in {area}, carefully pack and load your items, transport them to our secure storage facility, and return them when you are ready. No hiring vans, no multiple trips, and no heavy lifting.
As an established removals company, we apply the same trained, methodical approach to storage as we do to moves. Every item is inventoried, wrapped where needed and stored to minimise risk of damage.
Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Use our storage when selling or buying a property in {area}. Declutter for viewings, store furniture during renovations, or keep non-essential items safe while you complete on your new home.
Renters
If you are between tenancies, moving abroad, or downsizing, we can store your possessions for as long as needed. We collect from your flat or house, store securely, and deliver to your new address when you are ready.
Landlords
Landlords often need temporary storage during refurbishments, changeovers, or when converting properties between furnished and unfurnished. We remove, store and return furniture to suit your schedule.
Businesses
Our storage is ideal for office furniture, documents, surplus stock, event equipment and seasonal items. We can combine office removals with off-site storage so your business in {area} stays organised and clutter-free.
Students
Students in and around {area} use our storage between terms, during gap years or when studying abroad. We collect from halls or shared houses, store over the holidays, and deliver at the start of term.

How Our Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact Soho Movers with details of what you need to store and for how long. We ask a few questions about access, item types and timing, then provide a clear written quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs. No hidden extras.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger volumes, we arrange a quick virtual or onsite survey. This helps us estimate the storage space accurately, plan access in {area}, and determine how many professional movers and which vehicles are needed. It avoids surprise costs on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, our trained team arrives with the right materials. We can provide a full packing service or simply protect larger items. Furniture is wrapped, fragile items are carefully boxed, and everything is labelled for easy retrieval.
4. Loading & Transport
We handle all lifting, carrying and loading. Our vehicles are equipped with blankets, straps and equipment to secure your belongings. We transport everything directly from your address in {area} to our storage facility, minimising handling.
5. Storage, Unloading & Placement
At the warehouse, items are unloaded into your allocated storage area. We stack and arrange goods for stability and accessible retrieval, maintaining an inventory. When you are ready, we schedule redelivery and place items back into the rooms you specify.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We price our storage clearly, based on three elements:
- Collection and loading from your property in {area}
- Weekly or monthly storage charge (calculated by the volume of goods)
- Return delivery and unloading at the end of the storage period
There are no surprise fees for basic handling or standard access. Longer-term storage and combined removals and storage bookings can attract discounted rates. We are always happy to explain how we have calculated your quote.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Man-and-Van?
Using a casual man-and-van or attempting self-storage may look cheaper at first, but costs and risks add up quickly. With Soho Movers you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to protect and stack items safely
- Fully insured services, including goods in transit cover
- Purpose-built storage with monitored security
- Proper inventory control so nothing goes missing
- Fewer journeys and no need to hire or drive a van yourself
*DIY storage often means repeated heavy lifting, poorly packed items and no protection if something is damaged.* Our service is structured to reduce stress and risk.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Soho Movers operates to strict professional standards. All storage moves are covered by:
- Goods in transit insurance while your belongings are being moved between your property in {area} and our facility
- Public liability cover for work carried out in and around your property
- Trained moving teams who follow established lifting, packing and handling procedures
We are happy to outline insurance limits and options for additional cover where needed, especially for high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat stored belongings as if they were our own. Furniture and fragile items are wrapped and protected, boxes are stacked sensibly, and aisles are left for safe access. Where possible we use reusable crates, recycled packing paper and durable blankets to cut down on single-use plastic and cardboard.
Our routes in and around {area} are planned efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions, while still meeting collection and delivery times.
Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House
When completion dates do not line up, our storage bridges the gap. We pack and remove your belongings from the old property, store them securely, then deliver to your new home once keys are available.
Office Relocation
Businesses often prefer to phase an office move. We can take non-essential items into storage ahead of the main relocation, or hold furniture and equipment until the new space in {area} is ready.
Urgent Moves and Emergency Storage
Life is not always predictable. If you have to vacate quickly due to a sale, tenancy change, leak or other issue, we can provide rapid collection and emergency storage, subject to availability. Our team will stabilise the situation and keep your belongings safe while you plan next steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage with Soho Movers cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much you are storing, how long for, and how complex access is at your property in {area}. We calculate the volume of goods during your survey, then apply a weekly or monthly rate. Collection and redelivery are priced separately, based on labour and travel time. There are no hidden handling charges for normal loads. For an accurate figure, share a rough inventory and dates, and we will provide a clear, itemised quote in writing.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Same-day or short-notice storage is often possible, especially outside of peak moving periods, but it depends on availability of vehicles, staff and space. If you have an urgent situation in {area}, call us as soon as you can with details of the property size, volume of items and any access constraints. We will prioritise stabilising the move, securing your belongings and getting them into storage safely, then arrange formal paperwork and longer-term plans afterwards if needed.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your property and our storage facility, and by our warehouse cover while in store. We also carry public liability insurance for work on site. Standard policies have upper limits, so for particularly high-value items or specialist collections we may recommend additional cover. We will explain what is included, what the limits are, and how to declare any items of unusual value before the move starts.
What is included in your storage service?
Our standard storage service includes collection from your address in {area}, loading by a professional team, protective wrapping of large items, transport to our secure facility, safe stacking and storage, and redelivery at the end of the term. We can also provide full or partial packing, supply boxes and materials, and dismantle or reassemble furniture if required. The quote you receive will clearly separate optional extras from the core service so you can choose what you really need.
How is this different from using a basic man-and-van and self-storage?
With a basic man-and-van, you usually do most of the packing, lifting and organising yourself, then deal separately with a self-storage company. There is often no meaningful insurance for packing errors or poor stacking, and little accountability if something goes missing. With Soho Movers, one responsible provider manages the entire process end to end, using trained staff, proper materials and structured inventories. This reduces the risk of damage, saves time, and typically offers better value when you factor in van hire and multiple journeys.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For planned moves, we recommend booking as soon as you have approximate dates, ideally two to four weeks in advance. This gives us time to carry out a survey, reserve space and schedule a team for your preferred day in {area}. That said, we regularly accommodate shorter notice bookings, particularly outside busy periods like month-end and summer. Even if your dates are uncertain, it is worth getting a provisional quote and pencilling in space so we can adapt quickly when plans firm up.
