Expert Furniture Storage in Silvertown
Our furniture storage service is designed for people who want a straightforward, well-organised solution. Whether you are renovating, between moves, decluttering, or freeing up office space, we collect, protect and store your items in our secure Silvertown facility.
We combine trained moving teams, purpose-built vehicles and a monitored warehouse to keep your furniture safe. All collections and deliveries are carried out by our in-house staff – no casual labour – so you always know who is handling your goods.
Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect if you are moving house, extending, redecorating, or preparing to sell. Store surplus furniture, seasonal items, or entire room contents while work is carried out. We can coordinate closely with your removals schedule so everything runs smoothly.
Renters
If your tenancy dates do not line up, or you are relocating temporarily, our storage gives you a safe base for your furniture. Avoid rushing into the wrong property just to keep your belongings under a roof – we store them securely until you are ready.
Landlords & Letting Agents
Use our service between lets, during refurbishments, or when switching from furnished to unfurnished. We can remove and store full contents, selected items, or just bulky pieces to help you turn properties around quickly and present them at their best.
Businesses
Ideal for office moves, downsizing, refurbishments and project work. We store desks, seating, filing, archive shelving, reception furniture and more. Flexible terms mean you pay only for the space and duration you need, with collection and redelivery arranged around your trading hours.
Students
For term-time moves or summer breaks, our furniture storage is a cost-effective option for beds, desks, small sofas and personal belongings. Store close to campus or your Silvertown accommodation and have everything delivered back when the new term starts.

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 and filing cabinets
- Bookcases, TV units and media cabinets
- Outdoor furniture (clean and dry)

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you during your quotation or survey.
How Our Furniture Storage Service Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or via our website. We ask a few simple questions about the volume and type of furniture, access at your property, and your timescales. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and redelivery.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex jobs, we arrange a short virtual or onsite survey. This lets us see access routes, parking, staircases and lifts, and the actual items to be stored. The survey ensures we send the right size vehicle, the correct number of trained movers, and adequate packing materials.
3. Packing & Preparation
On collection day, our team protects your furniture before it leaves your property. We use quilted covers, export-grade wrapping, mattress protectors and corner protectors as needed. If required, we can also offer full packing or part-packing for smaller items that need to go into storage alongside your furniture.
4. Loading & Transport
Your items are carefully carried out, loaded and secured in our vehicles. We use professional loading techniques to avoid pressure points and movement during transit. Everything is inventoried so we know exactly what is in store for you. Your goods are then transported directly to our secure Silvertown storage facility.
5. Unloading & Storage Placement
At the warehouse, we unload your furniture into your allocated storage area or container. Items remain wrapped and protected. Your inventory is checked, and your account is updated with the items we hold. When you are ready for redelivery, we simply reverse the process and place everything back in the rooms you specify.
Pricing: Fair, Transparent and Flexible
We keep our pricing structure straightforward and fully explained before you commit. Your overall cost is based on:
- The volume of furniture (measured in cubic feet or metres)
- The length of time you need storage for
- Collection and redelivery locations and access
- Any optional services such as packing or dismantling
There are no hidden charges for basic materials such as blankets and standard wrapping. Longer-term storage and regular business customers may benefit from reduced rates. We are always happy to talk through options to fit both your budget and timescale.
Why Choose Professional Furniture Storage Instead of DIY
Using a professional storage and removals company offers significant advantages over hiring a van or using an informal man-and-van service:
- Trained staff who know how to handle heavy and delicate items safely
- Specialist equipment such as dollies, webbing, covers and ramps
- Fully insured handling and transport, not just basic vehicle cover
- Clean, purpose-managed storage rather than makeshift garages or sheds
- Proper inventories so nothing goes missing or gets mixed up
- Reduced risk of personal injury or accidental damage through poor lifting
By trusting professionals, you protect both your belongings and your own time, and you have a clear point of contact throughout the process.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your furniture is important, so we back our service with robust protection:
- Goods in transit insurance for your items while being collected or redelivered
- Public liability cover for work carried out in and around your property
- Fully insured storage facility with monitored security systems
- Trained staff following documented handling and safety procedures
We are committed to working to recognised industry standards, with clear paperwork, inventories and terms so you always understand how your belongings are being looked after.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We focus on caring for your furniture and the environment at the same time. Protective materials are chosen for quality and reusability wherever possible. We use heavy-duty blankets, reusable covers and sturdy crates to minimise single-use plastics. Vehicles are loaded efficiently to reduce unnecessary trips, and we plan collection routes carefully.
Within the warehouse, furniture is stored off the floor and away from damp or extreme temperature changes. We keep the facility clean and orderly to reduce dust and the risk of accidental knocks. Our aim is simple: your items should come out of storage in the same condition they went in.
Real-World Uses for Our Furniture Storage
Moving House
If your sale and purchase do not align, or you are moving abroad for a period, we can hold your furniture securely until you are ready for delivery. We coordinate with your removals dates so everything slots into place.
Office Relocations & Fit-Outs
When you are refurbishing an office or waiting for new premises, we store surplus desks, chairs, meeting tables and reception furniture. This avoids clutter on site and allows contractors to work efficiently.
Renovations & Insurance Repairs
During building works or after a leak or fire, removing furniture from the property keeps it safe from dust, damp and further damage. We work with homeowners, landlords and insurers to provide practical, time-limited storage solutions.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
Sometimes plans change quickly – a tenancy ends sooner than expected, or a sale completes earlier than planned. Subject to space, we can often arrange urgent collection into storage, giving you breathing room while you organise your next step.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much furniture you have and how long you need storage for. We typically price by the volume of goods (in cubic feet or metres) and apply a weekly or monthly rate. Collection and redelivery are quoted separately, based on distance and access. Longer-term and larger-volume customers may receive discounted rates. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us for a tailored quotation or quick survey – we will provide a clear breakdown with no hidden extras.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where space and scheduling allow, we can often help with same-day or short-notice furniture storage in Silvertown. If you have an unexpected change of plans, such as a tenancy ending early or a last-minute completion date, call us as soon as you know. We will check availability of vehicles, staff and storage space and do our best to fit you in. Even when same-day is not possible, we can usually arrange a prompt collection to get your furniture safe quickly.
Are my items insured while in storage?
Your furniture is protected by our goods in transit insurance during collection and redelivery, and by our warehouse cover while it is stored with us. This is in addition to our public liability cover for work at your property. We will explain the standard cover limits and can discuss any particularly high-value items that may need additional arrangements. It is important you declare anything of unusual value so we can make sure it is correctly noted and protected on your paperwork.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
Our service typically includes professional collection from your Silvertown property, protective wrapping of furniture, transport to our secure facility, storage for your chosen period, and redelivery when you are ready. We also provide inventories so you know what is in store. Optional extras include packing of smaller items, dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture, and timed or out-of-hours deliveries for businesses. We will confirm exactly what is included in your personal quotation so there is no confusion on the day.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may move items from A to B, but rarely offers the same level of protection, documentation or insurance. With Storage Silvertown, you get trained staff, purpose-built vehicles, fully insured handling, secure managed storage and proper inventories. Your furniture is wrapped, loaded and stored using professional methods, not just stacked loosely. You also have a fixed point of contact and clear terms and conditions. Overall, it is a safer, more reliable and more accountable service for your belongings.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always keep some flexibility in our schedule. If you need storage at short notice, contact us and we will do what we can to help. Once your booking is confirmed, you will receive written details of your collection time, expected duration and costs.
