Professional Storage Services in Kennington

Our storage service is designed for people who want their possessions handled carefully, packed correctly and stored in a clean, dry and monitored environment. We collect your items from your home or office, protect them with appropriate materials, transport them securely and place them into our storage facility, ready for redelivery when you need them back.

Every job is managed by a trained, professional team, and your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from storage.

Local Kennington Expertise

We know Kennington and the surrounding areas inside out – from tight terraced streets and controlled parking zones to apartment blocks with limited access. This local knowledge helps us plan collection and redelivery efficiently, minimise disruption to you and your neighbours, and ensure a smooth, punctual service.

Because we operate locally, we can often offer more flexible collection times, including short-notice and off-peak options, helping you manage moves, renovations and space issues without stress.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you’re selling, renovating or downsizing and need to declutter or store excess furniture. We can remove items ahead of estate agent photos, keep belongings safe during building work, or hold everything between completion dates.

Renters

Perfect when your new tenancy doesn’t start immediately, you’re relocating temporarily, or your flat simply doesn’t have enough storage. We protect your furniture, boxes and personal belongings so you’re not relying on friends’ garages or overfilling a small space.

Landlords

Useful for storing furniture between tenancies, holding appliances during refurbishments, or clearing properties quickly after a tenant leaves. We can collect directly from your rental property and return items when the work is complete.

Businesses

Suitable for office furniture, archive boxes, seasonal stock and equipment. Whether you’re refurbishing an office in Kennington, downsizing premises or need overflow storage, we provide organised, labelled storage so you can retrieve items efficiently.

Students

Ideal for term-time moves and summer breaks. Rather than hauling everything home, we collect your belongings from halls or shared houses, store them securely, and deliver back at the start of the new term.

What We Can Store

We handle a wide range of typical household and office items, including:

• Sofas, armchairs, beds and mattresses
• Wardrobes, chests of drawers and cabinets
• Dining tables, desks and office chairs
• Boxes of clothes, books, files and personal items
• Televisions, computers and small electricals (properly packed)
• Kitchenware and small appliances
• Office equipment, archive boxes and marketing materials

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded:

• Perishable goods and food
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (paints, gas bottles, fuel, chemicals)
• Illegal items or goods of questionable ownership
• Live plants or animals
• Cash, high-value jewellery or important documents (these are best kept with you or in a safe deposit facility)

If you are unsure about a particular item, we are happy to advise before collection.

How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with details of what you need to store, your addresses in and around Kennington, and your preferred dates. We ask a few questions about volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and timescales, then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation explaining collection, storage costs and redelivery.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger jobs, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us accurately assess what needs to be stored, any access challenges and required packing materials. It also allows you to discuss any delicate or bulky items. A proper survey helps avoid surprises on the day and ensures we send the right size vehicle and team.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the day, our trained movers protect your furniture with padded covers, blankets and wrapping. We can also provide a full packing service or supply sturdy boxes and materials if you prefer to pack yourself. Each item or box is labelled clearly, so we can locate and return specific items if needed.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

Our team carefully loads your goods onto our vehicles, securing everything to prevent movement in transit. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance as they travel to our storage facility. We work efficiently but never rush handling, balancing speed with care.

5. Storage, Unloading & Placement

Once at the facility, we unload into your designated storage space, stacking and arranging items safely. Everything remains stored in a dry, secure and monitored environment for as long as you need. When you’re ready for redelivery, we schedule a convenient date and time, then deliver and place items back into your property.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote typically includes:

• Collection from your Kennington address
• Protective materials for furniture and large items
• Transport to and from our storage facility
• Weekly or monthly storage charges based on the volume used

Costs depend on how much you store, how long for, and access conditions. We explain each element of the price in plain language, with no hidden extras. If your needs change – for example, storing for longer or adding items – we update you so you always know where you stand.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals and storage company offers clear advantages over doing it yourself or using an informal man-and-van service:

• Fully insured handling and transport, giving you protection if something unexpected happens
• Trained teams who know how to pack, lift and stack safely, reducing the risk of damage or injury
• Purpose-built vehicles and protective equipment, not improvised solutions
• Organised labelling and inventory, making retrieval and redelivery straightforward
• Reliable scheduling and communication, rather than uncertain timings

While DIY can appear cheaper, the cost of damaged furniture, strained backs or misplaced items can quickly outweigh any savings.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We take our duty of care seriously. Kennington Removals operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they’re being moved between your property and storage
• Public liability cover – protecting you and your property during our work on-site
• Trained moving teams – experienced staff who follow best practice in manual handling and packing

We work to consistently high standards, from first contact through to final redelivery, and we welcome questions about how we protect your belongings at every stage.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Looking after your items starts with how we pack and move them. We use high-quality protective covers, blankets and wraps, and we handle fragile or sentimental items with extra care. For boxed goods, we encourage sensible weight limits and clear labelling to avoid crushing and confusion.

We also take a responsible approach to materials. Wherever possible, we reuse durable cartons, collect used boxes for recycling and minimise single-use plastics. When clients no longer want certain items, we can suggest local donation or recycling options rather than sending everything to landfill.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House in Stages

Many Kennington clients use storage when their sale and purchase dates don’t align. We can remove non-essential items first, store them safely, and then deliver everything to your new home once completion has taken place.

Office Refurbishments and Relocations

Businesses undergoing refurbishment often need temporary storage for desks, chairs, filing cabinets and stock. We can phase collections and redeliveries around contractors’ schedules, helping keep downtime to a minimum.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes circumstances change quickly – a tenancy ends sooner than expected, or building work overruns. Our local presence in Kennington means we can often arrange fast collection and short-term storage to bridge the gap and keep your belongings safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with Kennington Removals cost?

Storage costs depend on three main factors: how much space you need, how long you need it for, and how straightforward access is at your property. We usually quote a weekly or monthly rate based on the volume of goods, plus collection and redelivery charges. During our survey we assess everything carefully so your quote is accurate from the start. There are no hidden extras, and if your requirements change, we update you before any additional costs are incurred.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage in Kennington?

In many cases we can help at short notice, especially within Kennington and nearby areas. Availability depends on our schedule and current storage capacity, but we always do our best to accommodate urgent situations such as unexpected tenancy changes or last-minute building work. The sooner you contact us with details of what needs storing and when, the easier it is for us to plan a solution. We’ll be honest about what’s possible and suggest practical options to keep your belongings safe.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your possessions are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from storage. Once in the facility, there is standard cover in place, and many clients also choose to maintain or arrange their own contents insurance for added peace of mind. We’ll explain exactly what our policy includes and where your own insurance may complement it. Our aim is for you to understand how your items are protected at every stage, rather than relying on small print or assumptions.

What’s included in your storage service?

Our storage service typically includes professional collection from your property, protective wrapping for furniture and large items, secure transport to our storage facility, and placement of your belongings into a designated storage area. When you’re ready, we then arrange redelivery and place items back into your home or office. We can also offer a full packing service and supply packing materials if needed. Your quotation will clearly outline what is included so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

While a man-and-van may move items from A to B, our service is built around professional standards and accountability. We use trained staff, appropriate equipment, and structured packing and labelling systems. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance, and we operate under clear terms and documented bookings, rather than informal arrangements. We also coordinate storage, inventory and redelivery, giving you a complete solution rather than just transport. This typically results in fewer damages, better communication and far less stress.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of dates and to keep costs predictable, we recommend booking as soon as you know you’ll need storage – ideally two to four weeks in advance. This is especially important during busy periods such as summer and month-end. That said, we understand that not all moves are planned so neatly. If you need help sooner, contact us and we’ll confirm what’s possible based on current availability, then work with you to arrange a practical schedule.
