When keys and dates refuse to match
Chains slip. New builds miss the week they promised. You exchange on the old place before the new one is live. Storage means we collect, hold your things in a dry monitored unit, and deliver when completion actually happens, instead of you paying for two removals or living out of bags in a Travelodge.
Collection, weekly storage and redelivery can sit on one fixed quote with your move. You are not chasing a self-storage branch for a van and a removals firm for the other half.
- Short stays and longer holds
- Door collection and door delivery
- Dry, monitored facilities
- Same insured crew as a standard move
When people book storage with us
Chain and completion delays
Exchange done, keys delayed. We take the load into storage on the leave date and deliver when the new keys land.
- Common on London sales
- Flexible redelivery once you have a date
- Part-loads if some furniture goes straight to the new place
Renovations
Clear rooms so plasterers and kitchen fitters can work. We bring items back room by room when each space is ready, not in one chaotic dump.
- Whole-house or selected rooms
- Dust and site access noted at booking
- Helps if you are staying with family mid-works
Downsizing
Hold the “maybe” furniture while you live in the smaller place for a month. Tip or sell what you do not miss; we deliver the rest.
- Pairs with waste clearance for what you discard
- Partial retrievals with notice
- Useful after probate and inheritance clear-outs
Business overflow
Shop fit-outs, office moves between leases, seasonal stock. Short holds so trading is not blocked by cardboard mountains.
- Quoted on volume and access hours
- Can run overnight or weekend deliveries
- Ask about labelling if multiple departments share a unit
How storage works
Collection, storage weeks and redelivery on one quote when you want it.
Size the volume
Room count, item list or photos. We match van space and unit size so you are not paying for empty air.
Collect and store
Insured crew loads as on a normal move. Items logged. Unit is dry and monitored.
Deliver when you are ready
Book redelivery to the new address. We can stage by room if the build or renovation is phased.
What we need from you
- Rough leave date and earliest redelivery window
- Whether the whole house is going in, or part stays with you
- Any items that must come out mid-storage (documents, seasonal kit)
- Access notes at both doors: floors, lifts, parking
Storage often sits with home removals, office removals or packing. Ask for a combined figure so you can compare one number, not three.
We were screwed over by a different company and reached out to RP removals. They were fabulous. They picked our furniture after we were left in the lurch and were exceptionally professional and courteous.
Just moved with RP. Good price, not the cheapest we found but toward the lower end. Team were very, very helpful in the office prior to moving day. Vlad and the team packed without issue.
Nothing was too much trouble for them. They were efficient, polite and respectful. They went the extra mile to ensure furniture was where we wanted it. We would thoroughly recommend them.
Storage FAQs
Is storage quoted with the move?
Yes. Collection, storage weeks and redelivery can sit on one fixed quote so you are not juggling a self-storage branch and a separate van firm.
How long can items stay?
From a few weeks to longer-term. We confirm the weekly rate and notice period when you book. If the chain stretches, we extend rather than forcing a panic redelivery.
Can I access my goods mid-storage?
Partial retrievals are often possible with notice. Say at booking if you may need weekend access so we plan for it.
Do I pack before storage?
Packed goods store cleaner and cheaper on space. We can pack first, or take furniture as-is with blankets. Loose clothing and open liquids are a bad idea either way.
What if redelivery is to a different city?
Fine. We run UK-wide routes. Tell us both ends when you enquire so mileage is in the original figure.
