Get a storage quoteHow storage works with a move
Storage with Jack Removals is part of the move rather than a separate errand. The crew that packs your home wraps the furniture, bags the mattresses and loads everything against a written inventory. The van goes to our store instead of your new address, and each item is logged in. When you are ready, you tell us a date, we load from the same inventory and deliver to the new place, unwrap and put the furniture in the rooms you choose. Nobody has to hire a van, drive to a self-storage unit or carry boxes up a corridor. The quote covers the collection, the storage and the delivery, and it is written from what you actually need to store.
What should and should not go into storage?
Furniture, boxed household goods, books, bikes, garden furniture, white goods and office equipment all store well once they are clean, dry and wrapped. Fridges and freezers should be defrosted and dried with the doors wedged open so they do not grow mould. Mattresses go in sealed bags and sofas in fitted covers. What cannot go in is anything flammable or pressurised (paint, fuel, gas bottles, aerosols), food or anything perishable, plants, and anything illegal. Documents you may need, such as passports, deeds or the paperwork for a move abroad, are better kept with you. If you are not sure about an item, ask when you get the quote and we will tell you how it should be prepared, or whether it is better kept somewhere else.
How do I get one item back without unloading everything?
Because every item is logged in against your inventory, we know where it is. Tell us what you need, whether a single box of winter clothes or the dining table, and we retrieve it for delivery or have it ready for you to collect by appointment. This is why we label boxes by contents as well as by room when goods are going into storage rather than straight to a new address. It also means that when you finally move in, the delivery can be done in the order you want: beds and kitchen first, the garage boxes last. For a move abroad, goods can go straight from storage onto the international run, so they are only loaded once.
What storage includes
Monitored premises
CCTV, intruder alarms and controlled access. Goods are logged in against your inventory and logged out the same way.
Wrapped before it goes in
Furniture is blanket-wrapped and mattresses bagged before storage, so nothing sits bare against anything else.
Sized to your inventory
We quote from what actually needs to go in, not from a unit size you have to guess at, so you are not paying for empty space.
Collection and delivery
We collect from your old address and deliver to the new one when you are ready. You never need to visit the warehouse.
No long contracts
No minimum term and no cancellation fee. Tell us when you want your things back and we book the delivery.
Part-move storage
Store some rooms and move the rest. Useful when downsizing, renovating or waiting on a completion date.
Storage questions
Most often when completion dates do not line up: you have to leave the old place before you can get into the new one. It also suits renovations, downsizing, a move abroad where you are renting first, or a house sale where the estate agent wants rooms cleared for viewings. We collect, store and deliver on one booking, so the goods are only handled by one crew.
From the inventory. We look at what needs to go in, how long you expect to need it and whether you want us to collect and deliver, then put it in a written quote. You are not asked to guess a unit size, and if your plans change the quote is revised with you before anything moves.
Yes, by arrangement. Tell us which items you need and we will retrieve them for delivery, or book a time for you to add things. Because everything is logged against your inventory we can find a single box without unloading the rest.
Goods in storage can be covered for the period they are with us. The level of cover is stated in your quote, and higher-value items such as artwork or antiques can be listed separately so they are covered at their real value.
