As a professional, fully insured storage and removals company, we treat your possessions with the same care we would our own.
Local Bulls Cross Expertise
Based near Bulls Cross, we know the local roads, parking rules, and property types extremely well. That local knowledge allows us to plan collections and deliveries efficiently, avoiding access issues and delays.
We regularly support customers in Bulls Cross, Enfield, and across North London, working with terraced houses, flats with limited access, offices on busy high streets, and everything in between. Our drivers and porters are trained and experienced in handling awkward staircases, tight driveways, and controlled parking zones.
Who Our Long-Term Storage Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are renovating, extending, downsizing, or moving abroad. Store furniture, appliances, and personal belongings securely while you focus on your property project or time away.
Renters
If you are between tenancies, relocating for work, or moving into furnished accommodation, long-term storage keeps your possessions safe without paying for a bigger flat just for the space.
Landlords
Landlords use our storage to keep furniture and appliances safe between lets, during refurbishments, or when switching between furnished and unfurnished rental periods.
Businesses
Our long-term storage is popular with offices, retailers, and trades. Archive documents, seasonal stock, exhibition equipment, or surplus furniture securely without tying up expensive commercial space.
Students
Students in Bulls Cross and surrounding areas can store belongings between terms, gap years, or extended placements without having to cart everything back and forth across the country.

Our Long-Term Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email, or through our online form. We will ask about the volume of items, access at your property, and the likely length of storage. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage, and eventual redelivery.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger consignments, we recommend a survey. This can be done virtually via video call or in person at your Bulls Cross property. The survey ensures we allocate the right size storage unit, the right number of porters, and suitable vehicles, and that we understand any access challenges in advance.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or choose our professional packing service. Our team uses high-quality materials, including double-walled cartons, export wrap, mattress covers, and furniture blankets. Each item is labelled and inventoried so we know exactly what is in store and where.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and banisters where needed, and carefully loads your belongings onto our vehicles. Items are secured for transport, then taken directly to our secure storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement into Storage
At the warehouse, we unload, wrap where necessary, and position your goods within your unit or designated area. Everything is checked against the inventory. When you are ready for your items back, we simply reverse the process and deliver them to your chosen address, unloading and placing items in the rooms you specify.
Transparent Pricing for Long-Term Storage
We believe storage should be straightforward and predictable. Our pricing is based on:
- The volume of goods (how much space you need)
- The duration of storage
- Collection and redelivery requirements
- Any additional services such as packing or dismantling
You will receive a clear written quotation before you commit. There are no hidden charges for basic access or standard handling. For longer stays, we can often offer reduced rates. Billing is usually monthly, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Storing belongings for several months or longer is very different from a quick move across town. With DIY or a casual man-and-van, you may save a little initially but risk damage, poor packing, inadequate protection, and lack of insurance.
As a professional removals and storage company, we provide structured packing, secure loading, proper inventory, and purpose-designed storage facilities. Your goods are protected from damp, pests, and rough handling, and any claims are backed by formal cover. This gives you peace of mind, especially if you are storing items of sentimental or financial value.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are protected from door to store and back again. We carry:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being moved between your property and our facility.
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property while our team is on-site.
- Trained moving teams – all staff are experienced in packing, lifting, and handling, and follow industry best practice.
Full terms and limits of cover are explained with your quote, and we are happy to discuss additional cover if you have particularly high-value items.
Care, Protection, and Sustainability
We treat care and protection as standard, not an add-on. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are bagged, and fragile items are cushioned and clearly marked. Units are clean, dry, and secure, with monitored access.
We also make a conscious effort to work sustainably. Wherever possible, we reuse sturdy cartons, recycle damaged materials, and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. Our aim is to provide a reliable storage service that protects both your belongings and the environment.
Real-World Long-Term Storage Use Cases
Moving House
If your sale and purchase do not line up, we can move your belongings into storage in Bulls Cross until your new home is ready, then deliver everything on your chosen date.
Office Relocation and Refits
Businesses use us to hold furniture, IT equipment, and files while they refurbish or relocate. This keeps workspaces clear and protects items from dust and damage.
Urgent or Emergency Moves
Sometimes plans change quickly – relationship changes, water damage, or urgent landlord requests. We can often arrange same-day or short-notice collection into storage to give you breathing space while you decide your next steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does long-term storage in Bulls Cross cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need and how long you store for. We calculate this based on a survey or detailed list of items, then allocate an appropriately sized unit so you are not paying for unused space. Collection, packing, and redelivery are itemised separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for. As a guide, long-term customers often benefit from reduced monthly rates compared with short-term storage. We will always provide a clear written quote before you commit.
Can you offer same-day or urgent collection into storage?
Where schedules and availability allow, we do offer same-day or short-notice collection in Bulls Cross and surrounding areas. This is particularly useful in emergencies, such as sudden tenancy changes, insurance issues, or unexpected delays with a move. The more detail you can give us on the volume of items and access, the quicker we can confirm a slot. Urgent bookings may carry a premium, but we will always explain any additional costs upfront before you decide.
What insurance coverage do you provide for stored items?
Your goods are covered by our standard goods in transit insurance while being moved, and stored in a secure, monitored facility. We also carry public liability cover for work at your address. Our quotation will outline the standard limits of liability and any applicable terms or exclusions. If you have high-value items or special requirements, we can discuss additional cover or recommend suitable insurance options. We encourage customers to check that our cover levels meet their needs before placing items into store.
What is included in your long-term storage service?
Our core service includes collection from your property, loading by our trained team, secure transport to our facility, placement into a dedicated storage area, and standard storage charges. We also provide basic blankets and protective materials for furniture as part of the service. Optional extras include full packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, specialist packing for fragile or high-value items, and eventual redelivery to your new address. Everything is detailed on your quote so you can choose exactly the level of support you need.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van can be fine for very small, local jobs, but long-term storage requires structure and accountability. We provide written quotes, documented inventories, secure storage facilities, and formal insurance cover as standard. Our porters are trained in packing and handling, and we use proper materials and equipment. We also manage the whole process end to end, so you do not have to arrange separate transport and storage. In short, we offer a more reliable, traceable service with clear responsibility for your belongings.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For the best choice of dates, particularly at busy times such as weekends and month-end, we recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance. That said, we understand that long-term storage is often linked to chain dates, tenancy agreements, or building work, which can change. We will always do our best to accommodate shorter notice, and we keep some flexibility in our schedule for urgent cases. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of timing and cost.
