Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you are moving house, renovating, downsizing, or de-cluttering before a sale. We can store furniture, appliances and personal items safely while you get your new place sorted.

Renters

If you are between tenancies, relocating for work, or moving into temporary accommodation, we can collect your belongings on move-out day and keep them in storage until your new property is ready.

Landlords

We help landlords store furniture between lets, clear properties after tenants leave items behind, and manage temporary removals during refurbishments.

Businesses

From sole traders to offices, we store documents, stock, equipment, event materials and office furniture. Our professional service includes labelled inventory and organised loading so you can access what you need when you need it.

Students

Students in St Helier can avoid hauling belongings back and forth each term. We collect from halls or shared houses, store over the holidays, and deliver back at the start of term.

What We Can Store

Our storage service covers most household and business items, including:

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other furniture
• Boxes of clothes, books, toys and personal items
• Kitchen appliances and white goods (clean and defrosted)
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets, IT equipment
• Retail stock, promotional materials and displays
• Bikes and small leisure equipment

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot store:

• Perishable goods or food items
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (paints, gas bottles, fuel, chemicals)
• Illegal items or stolen goods
• Live plants or animals
• Cash, jewellery, high-value art or other items that require specialist storage
• Very large industrial machinery or vehicles

If you are unsure whether something can be stored, we will advise you clearly before collection.

How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with your requirements – what you need stored, when, and for how long (even if it is only approximate). We ask a few questions about access, property type and any special items, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote including collection, storage placement, and future re-delivery.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger jobs or long-term storage, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us assess volume, packing needs and access, and helps us choose the right size storage unit so you are not overpaying for unused space.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or choose our packing service where our trained movers use quality materials to protect your belongings. We can dismantle furniture as needed and wrap fragile or high-risk items for extra security in storage.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

On collection day, our team arrives on time, protects floors and doorways as needed, then loads your belongings methodically. Items are secured in our vehicles and transported directly to the chosen storage facility.

5. Unloading & Storage Placement

At the storage facility, we stack and organise items carefully to make best use of space and protect more delicate items. We can prepare a basic inventory on request so you know what is in storage and where. When you are ready, we reverse the process and deliver everything back to your new address.

Transparent Pricing for Storage in St Helier

We believe in clear, honest pricing. Your quote will set out:

• Collection and transport costs (based on time, team size and distance)
• Storage charges (unit size and duration)
• Optional extras such as packing service and materials
• Re-delivery costs from storage to your new address

There are no hidden fees. If your situation changes – for example, you need storage for longer or wish to reduce your unit size – we explain any price changes in advance and agree them with you.

Why Use Professional Storage Services Instead of DIY

Hiring a professional storage and removals service in St Helier offers clear advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:

• Trained teams who know how to pack and stack for long-term storage
• Proper protection for furniture and fragile items
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Correct vehicle size and equipment for safe loading
• Less risk of damage, injury or unexpected costs

With DIY, you are often guessing unit sizes, making multiple trips, and risking damage through poor stacking. With us, everything is planned and handled by experienced professionals.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a responsible removals and storage provider, we operate to clear professional standards:

• Goods in transit insurance while your belongings are being moved to and from storage
• Public liability cover for work in your property and the storage facility
• Trained, experienced moving teams using safe handling techniques
• Use of reputable, secure storage partners with robust security measures

We will explain exactly what is covered and any limits or exclusions, so you know where you stand. For particularly high-value items, we can discuss additional cover or specialist options.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat stored belongings as if they were our own. Our teams use padded covers, blankets, shrink wrap and strong boxes to protect items on the way into storage and back out again. Furniture is stacked to avoid crushing, and fragile items are clearly marked and separated.

We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Where possible, we:

• Reuse durable packing materials such as blankets and crates
• Encourage customers to choose recyclable boxes and paper-based packing
• Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House with a Gap Between Completions

When buyers and sellers cannot align move dates, we collect your entire home contents, place them in storage for a few days or weeks, then deliver to your new property on completion day. You have one point of contact throughout.

Office Refurbishment or Relocation

Businesses use our storage service to clear workspaces during refurbishments or when moving to new premises. We can store desks, chairs, IT equipment and files, then return them in a phased order to suit your fit-out plan.

Urgent or Same-Week Storage

Sometimes storage is needed at short notice – for example, a tenancy ending unexpectedly or urgent repairs required at home. Subject to availability, we can usually organise rapid collection and placement into storage, then help you plan the next steps calmly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with collection in St Helier cost?

The total cost depends on three main factors: how much you are storing, how long for, and how complex the collection and re-delivery are. We combine transport costs (time, distance and team size) with the monthly storage fee for the unit size you need. During your enquiry, we will estimate the volume, recommend an appropriate unit size, and provide a clear written quote. If your requirements change, we will always discuss any price adjustments with you before proceeding.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

Where our diary and storage partners allow, we can arrange same-day or short-notice storage in St Helier. This is particularly useful if a move falls through, a tenancy ends suddenly, or emergency works are needed at your property. The more notice you can give us, the better the chance of securing the ideal time slot and unit size, but it is always worth calling even on the day. We will be honest about availability and any premium that may apply for urgent bookings.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

We provide goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being collected from your property and transported to or from the storage facility. The storage facility itself will usually have its own insurance and security arrangements. We will explain exactly what is covered under our policy and what is covered by the storage provider, along with any limits or exclusions. For high-value items, we may recommend you speak to your home or business insurer about additional cover.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard service includes collection from your property by a professional team, loading, transport to a suitable storage facility, careful placement in the unit, and later re-delivery to your new address when required. We can also provide packing materials and a packing service if you would like us to box everything up. Dismantling and reassembling furniture, basic inventories and protective wrapping for delicate items can be added as needed and will be clearly shown in your quote.

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

A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, leaving you to handle packing, protection, unit booking, and any insurance arrangements yourself. Our service is a complete, professional storage solution: we help you choose the right unit size, provide trained staff, use proper equipment and materials, and include goods in transit insurance. We also coordinate with the storage facility and manage the entire process end to end, reducing the risk of damage, delays and unexpected problems.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of dates and unit sizes, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy moving periods such as month-end and school holidays. However, we know that plans can change quickly, so we always keep some flexibility in our schedule for shorter-notice jobs. Even if your dates are not fixed yet, it is helpful to contact us early so we can provisionally plan, give guidance on volumes, and help you avoid common last-minute issues.
