Long-Term Storage in Malden Rushett
At Storage Malden Rushett we provide secure, flexible long-term storage for households and businesses across Malden Rushett and the surrounding areas. Whether you are between homes, downsizing, working abroad or simply short of space, we offer clean, dry and fully insured units, professionally handled from collection to redelivery.
Professional Long-Term Storage You Can Rely On
Long-term storage is more than just leaving items in a lock-up for months or years. It requires careful planning, correct packing, and the right environment so everything comes back to you in the same condition it left. As a local removals and storage company, we combine secure warehousing with trained moving teams who know how to prepare and handle your belongings properly.
We manage the whole process: collection from your property, expert wrapping and packing, safe transport to our facility, careful stacking into storage, and eventual redelivery whenever you are ready.
Local Expertise in Malden Rushett
Based in Malden Rushett, we understand the needs of local residents and businesses. We regularly collect from homes, flats, student accommodation, offices and retail units throughout the area, planning routes and timings around local traffic and access restrictions.
Our knowledge of Malden Rushett and nearby towns means we can offer realistic timescales, straightforward access checks, and practical advice on what to store, what to keep with you, and how best to prepare for long-term storage.
Who Our Long-Term Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, renovating or downsizing, our long-term storage gives you space and flexibility. Store furniture, family heirlooms, seasonal items and non-essentials while you move or improve your property.
Renters
Between tenancies, moving to a smaller flat, or working away for a prolonged period? We can collect directly from your rental and hold items safely until you are ready for delivery to your next home.
Landlords
Landlords often need to clear or rotate furnishings between lets. Our storage is ideal for keeping quality furniture and appliances secure rather than selling or disposing of them during void periods.
Businesses
From document archives to surplus office furniture and stock, we help businesses free up expensive commercial space. Our professional teams can dismantle, pack and catalogue items for long-term storage so you always know what is where.
Students
Going on placement or returning home for an extended period? Instead of dragging everything back and forth, store your belongings safely until the next academic year. We can collect from halls or private accommodation.
What You Can Store with Us
Our long-term storage is suitable for most household and commercial items, including:
- Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other furniture
- Boxes of clothes, books, toys and personal belongings
- Kitchenware, small appliances and home electronics
- Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment
- Retail fixtures, display units and non-perishable stock
- Sports equipment, hobbies and leisure items
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot accept:

- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles, fuels and chemicals)
- Illegal goods or items of dubious ownership

- Cash, jewellery, or other high-value portable items such as rare coins or bullion
- Extremely fragile or irreplaceable items that are better kept under your direct control
If you are unsure whether a particular item is allowed, we are happy to advise before collection.
How Our Long-Term Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a brief outline of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few simple questions and provide an initial guideline quote, based on volume, access, and the level of service required.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves, we arrange a professional survey, either by video call or a visit to your property in Malden Rushett or nearby. This lets us measure volume accurately, identify any access issues, and discuss packing requirements. The survey ensures your quote is clear and accurate, with no hidden extras.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, our trained team arrives with suitable materials. We can offer full packing (we pack everything), partial packing (we handle fragile or bulky items) or a self-pack option where you pack your own boxes. Furniture is wrapped for storage and, where appropriate, dismantled for safer transport.
4. Loading & Transport
Your items are carefully loaded onto our vehicles using protective covers, tie-straps and appropriate handling equipment. We work methodically to avoid damage to both items and property. Everything is then transported to our storage facility under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement into Storage
On arrival, each item is unloaded and placed into your allocated storage space. We stack and position items to avoid crushing or warping, and can create basic inventories where requested. Once in store, your goods remain undisturbed unless you ask for access or a redelivery.
Transparent Pricing for Long-Term Storage
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your overall cost will typically include:
- Collection and transport from your property
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Monthly or weekly storage fees, based on volume
- Redelivery from our store to your chosen address
There are no surprise charges: we explain all costs in advance and confirm them in writing. Longer storage terms may qualify for reduced rates, and we can adjust your space up or down if your needs change over time.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Basic Man-and-Van?
Using a cheap lock-up or casual man-and-van may appear cheaper initially but often leads to problems: poor packing, damp conditions, limited security, and no real recourse if things go wrong. With us you benefit from:
- Professional handling by experienced teams
- Secure, purpose-managed storage rather than ad-hoc units
- Correct packing and stacking for long-term protection
- Fully insured collection, transport and storage
- Clear paperwork, reliable timings and ongoing support
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your belongings are protected from door to store and back again. We provide:
- Goods in transit insurance while your items are being moved
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Trained staff who follow recognised handling and safety practices
We treat your possessions with the same care we would give our own. Our procedures are designed to minimise risk, from pre-move planning through to final delivery.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care to protect both your belongings and the environment. Our teams use high-quality reusable furniture blankets, protective covers and durable crates wherever possible, reducing the need for single-use plastics. When we do use cardboard and paper, we source recyclable options and encourage clients to reuse or recycle materials after redelivery.
Inside storage, items are kept off the floor and away from potential damp spots, with careful stacking and appropriate wrapping to reduce dust and surface marks over longer periods.
Real-World Uses for Long-Term Storage
Moving House
Chains fall through, completion dates slip, and renovation work takes longer than planned. Long-term storage lets you move out on time, keep the sale on track and work to your own schedule without living among boxes.
Office Relocation or Refits
Businesses often need to decant furniture and equipment during refurbishments or while waiting for new premises. We can clear your current space, hold everything safely, then deliver to your new layout when the time is right.
Urgent Moves
Life does not always give you much notice. If you have to move quickly due to work, family or tenancy changes, we can provide short-notice collections into long-term storage, giving you time to decide your next steps once things have settled down.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does long-term storage in Malden Rushett cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you store for, and whether you require packing and collection. We base our prices on the volume of your goods, measured during a survey, plus transport and any packing services you choose. Storage is then charged weekly or monthly, with discounts sometimes available for longer commitments. Once we have assessed your items and access, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you will pay, with no hidden extras.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where possible, yes. If you need storage at short notice, contact us straight away and we will check availability for same-day or next-day collection in Malden Rushett and nearby areas. Urgent bookings depend on vehicle and crew availability, as well as space in our store, but we will always do our best to help. Even with urgent moves we still work methodically, protecting and listing your items so everything is properly prepared for long-term storage.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your items are covered by goods in transit insurance while being collected and delivered, and by our storage insurance while in our facility, subject to standard terms and declared values. We will explain the level of cover included as part of your quote, and can often arrange increased cover for high-value consignments if required. Our fully insured approach, combined with careful packing and handling, offers far greater protection than basic self-storage or informal arrangements.
What is included in your long-term storage service?
As standard, we provide collection, safe loading, transport to our facility and secure storage of your goods. Depending on your needs, we can also supply packing materials, offer professional packing for fragile or general items, dismantle and reassemble certain furniture, and produce basic inventories. When you are ready, we arrange redelivery to your chosen address. We discuss all options during your quotation so you can decide how much you want us to handle and how much you prefer to do yourself.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van usually offers transport only, with limited or no insurance, no specialised packing and no controlled storage. By contrast, our service combines trained crews, suitable vehicles, protective materials and secure, managed storage. We plan the job properly, provide written quotes and cover your goods under appropriate insurance. For long-term storage this level of care is important: items must be packed and stacked correctly to last months or years without deterioration, which is not something a basic man-and-van is set up to provide.
How far in advance should I book long-term storage?
Ideally, book as soon as you know you will need storage. This gives us time to carry out a survey, reserve appropriate space and schedule your preferred collection date. For busy periods, such as summer or month-end, a few weeks’ notice is helpful. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. Even if your dates are not fixed yet, it is worth getting in touch early so we can advise on options and likely availability.
