Removal storage services
Keep your move organised when your belongings need somewhere to stay between addresses. Magnus Removals provides removal storage with collection and return delivery, whether you need a temporary arrangement or a longer storage period.
Our service is managed: we collect the agreed items, arrange storage and organise their return. Access during storage must be arranged in advance.

Moving and storage when your dates do not match
You may need to leave your current property before the next one is ready. Renovation work, a delayed completion or a change in your plans can also leave you with furniture and boxes that cannot go straight to their final destination.
For moving and storage between properties, tell us what needs storing, when it must be collected and your expected return date. Include the likely delivery address or area. If the date is uncertain, explain that at the start and update us when your plans become clearer so storage and redelivery can be arranged together.
Storage can be planned alongside your house removal, helping you consider collection, storage and the final delivery together.
Choose the storage period around your plans
Short-term storage
Short-term storage can help bridge the gap between moving out and moving in, or keep furniture out of the way while a room is being prepared.
Give us the expected dates and explain whether they are fixed. Storage is booked weekly or monthly, there is no fixed notice period for return delivery, and you can access your belongings with 24 hours’ notice at no extra charge.
Longer-term storage
If you need to store belongings for longer, tell us the likely duration and whether your needs may change.
Consider which items you may need during that time. Keeping frequently used belongings separate can be more practical than arranging retrieval after everything has been placed into storage.
How collection, storage and return work
1. Tell us what needs storing
Share an item list or photographs, your collection postcode, access details and expected storage period. Include large, fragile or unusually valuable items so they can be discussed.
2. Agree preparation and collection
Confirm what will be packed beforehand and whether you need packing assistance. The agreed belongings are collected and recorded for storage.
3. Store the agreed contents
Your belongings remain in storage for the arranged period. If your plans change or you need access, contact us to discuss the available arrangements.
4. Arrange return delivery
When you know where and when the items are needed, provide the delivery address and access details. Confirm the return booking and any associated charges before making final plans around it.

Accessing belongings while they are stored
Access is arranged in advance. Contact us before planning a visit or expecting an item to be retrieved.
If you think you will need individual items, tell us before collection. We can discuss the requirement and confirm what arrangements are possible, including notice and any handling or delivery charges.
Keep passports, keys, medication, essential paperwork and anything you use regularly with you. Label boxes clearly and retain your own contents list so you can identify what you have stored.
Preparing furniture and boxes for storage
Good preparation makes both collection and the eventual return easier.
- Make sure items are clean and dry before packing.
- Use suitable boxes and avoid making individual boxes too heavy.
- Label boxes with their contents and intended destination room.
- Keep furniture fittings together and identify any dismantled pieces.
- Tell us about fragile, high-value, unusually heavy or specialist items.
- Discuss appliances, batteries, liquids, plants and other potentially restricted items before collection.
- Keep essentials and frequently needed belongings outside the storage consignment.
Hazardous items, gas bottles, flammable substances, certain paints or chemicals, explosives and perishable goods cannot be stored. If you would like help preparing the contents, include packing requirements in your enquiry.
What affects removal storage costs?
Storage costs depend on the space required, the storage period and the work needed to collect and return your belongings.
When requesting a quote, discuss:
- The volume and type of items.
- Collection access, including stairs, lifts and loading distance.
- Packing materials and packing assistance.
- Furniture dismantling or reassembly.
- The chargeable storage period and billing frequency.
- Any access or item-retrieval requirements.
- Return delivery location and access.
- Changes to the planned storage period or delivery date.
Check which charges are included and which are separate. Comparing collection, storage and return together gives a more useful picture than comparing the storage rate alone.
Combine storage with your removal
Storage can form part of a household move, a business relocation or a longer journey. If you are moving a warehouse or business stock, see warehouse relocation.
If you are arranging long-distance removals, explain whether your belongings can be delivered immediately or need to wait until the destination is ready.
For an office relocation, identify the furniture and equipment that must go directly to the new premises and anything that can be stored.

Storage FAQs
Can you store my belongings between house moves?
Yes. Storage can be discussed as part of your removal when your collection and delivery dates do not match. Provide your moving-out date, expected moving-in date and the contents that need storing.
Is this a self-storage unit I can visit whenever I want?
It is a managed storage service in our own secure facilities, with collection and return delivery. You can access your belongings by giving us at least 24 hours’ notice, and there is no additional charge for access.
Can I retrieve one item while the rest stays in storage?
Yes. Give us at least 24 hours’ notice and we will arrange access. There is no additional charge for access.
Do you offer short- and long-term storage?
Yes. Storage can be booked weekly or monthly, so it suits a short gap between moves as well as longer-term needs.
What happens if my completion date changes?
Contact us as soon as you know. Storage is flexible, weekly or monthly, and there is no fixed notice period for redelivery; we will arrange a new delivery date and time with you.
How much does removal storage cost?
The price depends on the quantity of belongings, duration, collection and return requirements, access and any packing work. Request a quote that identifies the storage charge and associated services separately.
What can I put into storage?
Most household furniture, boxes and belongings can be stored. For safety reasons we do not store hazardous or illegal items, gas bottles, flammable substances, certain paints or chemicals, explosives or perishable goods. Discuss valuable or unusual items before collection.
How are my belongings protected and insured?
Our storage facilities are protected by CCTV and 24-hour on-site security guards, and belongings in our storage are covered by our insurance. We are fully insured, including Public Liability and Goods in Transit cover (£500 excess), subject to the terms and limits of our policy.
