Flexible Storage Solutions in Edgware
Our storage service is designed around real-life moves and projects in Edgware and the surrounding areas. Whether you are between properties, renovating, decluttering, or running out of office space, we offer:
- Short-term storage – ideal between exchange and completion, or during short projects.
- Long-term storage – for items you do not need daily but want to keep safe.
- Containerised storage – sealed units packed by our trained team.
- Inventory-managed storage – itemised lists so you know exactly what is stored.
We collect, store and redeliver at your convenience, saving you the time and hassle of hiring a van or lifting heavy items yourself.
Local Expertise in Edgware
Based in Edgware, we understand local streets, parking restrictions and building layouts. This local knowledge allows us to plan access carefully, avoid delays and ensure your belongings are moved into storage safely and efficiently.
We regularly serve clients in Edgware, Burnt Oak, Colindale, Mill Hill, Stanmore and across North West London, coordinating with estate agents, building managers and landlords where needed.
Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect if you are preparing your house for sale, staging for viewings, or need temporary storage while waiting for completion. We can store furniture, boxes, white goods and fragile items until your new home is ready.
Renters
If your tenancy dates do not quite line up, or you are moving into a smaller property, our secure storage lets you bridge the gap without rushing decisions about what to keep or sell.
Landlords
We work with landlords needing to clear or part-clear properties between tenancies, store furniture while refurbishing, or hold items from multiple properties in one organised place.
Businesses
Our storage is ideal for office furniture, archives, seasonal stock, event equipment and marketing materials. We offer professional handling with labelled, accessible storage so you can retrieve items as needed.
Students
Students in Edgware and nearby universities use our storage between terms or during a gap year. We can collect from halls or shared houses, store safely, and redeliver when you are back.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of what you need to store, where from, and for how long. We ask a few practical questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quote that covers collection, storage and redelivery so you understand the full cost from the outset.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger loads or full households, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey in Edgware. This allows us to assess volume accurately, plan access, and identify any special handling requirements, such as large wardrobes or fragile antiques.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed day, our professional team arrives with appropriate materials. We can provide a full packing service or part-packing for fragile items. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are covered, and boxes are labelled so your goods can be easily located in storage.
4. Loading & Transport
Your belongings are carefully loaded onto our vehicles using protective covers, floor runners and securing straps. Our trained movers handle all lifting, ensuring items are protected in transit from your Edgware property to our storage facility.
5. Unloading, Placement & Storage
On arrival, we unload into your allocated storage space or container, stacking safely and logically. An inventory can be created on request, listing boxes and key items. When you are ready, we arrange redelivery to your new home, office or another address.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We keep our pricing straightforward and fair. Your storage quote will normally include:
- Collection from your property in Edgware (and loading)
- Storage charges based on volume and duration
- Redelivery from storage when required
Where possible, we agree fixed rates in advance, so there are no unexpected extras. Any additional services – such as full packing, specialist wrapping, or extra access to storage – are explained clearly before you decide.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Choosing a professional storage and removals company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using an informal man-and-van:
- Trained staff who know how to pack and stack items safely
- Proper equipment – blankets, trolleys, straps and covers
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover in place
- Secure, monitored storage facilities rather than ad-hoc garages or sheds
- Organised inventory and labelling, making redelivery easier
This reduces the risk of damage, injury and disputes, and protects your belongings properly while they are out of your sight.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. As a fully insured removals and storage company, we maintain:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while being moved to and from storage.
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property during our work.
- Trained moving teams – staff are experienced in lifting, packing and securing loads safely.
We will explain the level of cover included as standard and any options to increase cover for unusually high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We use quality materials and thoughtful working methods to protect both your belongings and the environment. Furniture is wrapped in reusable padded covers, and we use sturdy cartons that can be reused or recycled. We plan routes efficiently around Edgware to reduce unnecessary journeys and emissions.
Where possible, we encourage clients to declutter responsibly before storage, and we can recommend local charities and recycling centres if you wish to donate or dispose of items rather than store them.
Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House in Edgware
Chains fall through, dates change and renovations take longer than expected. Our storage allows you to move out on time, keep your belongings safe, and move into your new home when it is genuinely ready.
Office Relocation and Refits
Businesses use our storage to hold surplus furniture, IT equipment and files during refits or relocations. We can coordinate phased collections and deliveries to minimise downtime for your team.
Urgent or Last-Minute Storage
Sometimes storage is needed at short notice – a seller wants you to complete quickly, or builders need clear space. Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-week or even next-day collection in Edgware, providing a safe, organised solution when time is tight.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage with Edgware Movers cost?
Storage costs depend mainly on three factors: how much space you need, how long you need it for, and whether you require collection and redelivery. We usually base prices on cubic feet or the number of storage containers, plus any transport and packing services. Once we know what you plan to store and from where in Edgware, we provide a clear written quote with all charges explained. There are no hidden fees for basic access, and we will always let you know in advance if any optional extras apply.
Can you provide same-day or urgent storage in Edgware?
Where capacity allows, we do our best to accommodate urgent or short-notice storage requests. Same-day collection can sometimes be arranged within Edgware and nearby areas, particularly outside peak moving periods. The more information you can give us about volume, access and timing, the easier it is for us to plan. Even if same-day is not possible, we will usually be able to offer a prompt alternative. Contact us as early as you can and we will discuss realistic options openly, so you can make quick, confident decisions.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from storage, and by our standard storage insurance once inside the facility, subject to our terms and conditions. We will outline the level of cover as part of your quote, including any single-item limits or exclusions. If you have particularly high-value or unusual items, we can discuss increased cover or alternative arrangements. In addition, our public liability cover protects you and your property while our team is working on-site.
What is included in your storage service?
Our storage service typically includes collection from your Edgware address, careful loading, transport to our facility, safe storage, and redelivery when required. We provide protective blankets and covers as standard, and can supply packing materials or a full packing service if you prefer. An inventory can be created on request, and we will advise you clearly on what can and cannot be stored. Any additional services, such as frequent access or specialist packing, are discussed beforehand so you can choose exactly what you need.
How is this different from using a basic man-and-van or self-storage?
With a casual man-and-van, you may need to do all the packing and lifting yourself, and there may be limited insurance or accountability if something goes wrong. Self-storage often leaves you to arrange transport and handling. With Edgware Movers, you get a single, professional service: collection, expert packing if required, secure storage and organised redelivery, backed by proper insurance and trained staff. This reduces the risk of damage, saves you time and effort, and gives you a clear point of contact throughout.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For the best choice of dates and to secure space, we recommend booking storage as soon as you have a likely move or project date, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-ends. However, we understand that plans often change at short notice. We routinely accommodate bookings made a few days before, and sometimes even the day before, subject to availability. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we will have with collection times, storage options and pricing.
