Furniture Storage in Pimlico with Storage Pimlico
At Storage Pimlico, we provide secure, flexible furniture storage for households, landlords, businesses and students across Pimlico and central London. As a local removals and storage company, we understand the challenges of limited space, tight staircases and listed buildings, and we tailor our service to keep your furniture safe, dry and protected for as long as you need.
Professional Furniture Storage Service Explained
Our furniture storage service combines expert removals with secure storage facilities. We collect your furniture from your home, office or storage site, wrap and protect each item, transport everything in purpose-built vehicles, and place it into our monitored storage units.
You can store single items, a few pieces of furniture or the full contents of a property. Storage can be short-term during a move, renovation or tenancy gap, or long-term if you are downsizing, working abroad, or simply reclaiming space at home.
All moves are handled by our own trained, uniformed teams, and your goods are protected by our goods in transit and public liability cover for complete peace of mind.
Local Expertise in Pimlico and Central London
Working daily in Pimlico means we know the area’s properties and streets extremely well. From mansion blocks on Warwick Square to mews houses and modern apartments, we are used to dealing with:
- Narrow staircases and tight turns
- Permit-controlled parking and loading bays
- Porter-managed buildings and access restrictions
- Time-limited loading windows
We plan collection and delivery times around local traffic and parking rules, arrange permits where needed, and liaise with concierges or building managers in advance. This local knowledge helps ensure a smooth, efficient and low-stress experience.
Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are selling, renovating, extending or redecorating. We can remove bulky furniture before viewings, keep items off-site during building works, and deliver them back once you are ready.

Perfect for ending one tenancy before the next begins, moving in with a partner, or travelling. Store as much or as little as you like while you work out your next step, without committing to long contracts.

Useful when switching between furnished and unfurnished lettings, or carrying out refurbishment between tenants. We collect, store and redeliver items to suit your changeover schedule.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or via our online form. Tell us what furniture you need to store, your current address, access details and your preferred dates. We will provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and re-delivery costs, with no hidden extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex jobs, we arrange a brief video or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, lift availability and volume accurately. The survey helps us allocate the right team, vehicle and materials, and confirm your final price in advance.
3. Packing & Preparation
On collection day, our professional team carefully prepares your furniture for transport and storage. We can provide a full packing service for boxed items if required, or focus just on furniture protection using:
- Protective covers for sofas and mattresses
- Furniture blankets and shrink-wrap
- Corner protectors for delicate pieces
- Disassembly of larger items where needed
4. Loading & Transport
Your furniture is loaded methodically into our clean, purpose-built vehicles. Everything is secured using straps and blankets to prevent movement or rubbing during transit. Our fully insured vehicles then transport your goods directly to our storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At our facility, we unload and place your items into your allocated storage space. We stack and position furniture to maximise space while maintaining safe, stable storage. When you are ready for your items back, we reverse the process and deliver them to your chosen address, placing each item in the room you specify.
Transparent Pricing for Furniture Storage
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your total cost is typically made up of:
- Collection & delivery – based on volume, access, distance and team size
- Storage – a weekly or monthly rate depending on the space required
- Optional packing – if you would like us to pack boxes and smaller items
We will explain exactly what is included before you book, so you can budget with confidence. There are no surprise charges for normal work within the agreed scope. If your requirements change, we will always discuss costs with you before carrying out additional services.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Man-and-Van?
Storing furniture might seem straightforward, but poor handling and inadequate protection often lead to damage, stress and extra expense. With Storage Pimlico you benefit from:
- Trained teams who move furniture safely and efficiently
- Proper protection materials and professional techniques
- Goods in transit insurance during collection and delivery
- Public liability cover for work at your property
- Secure, monitored storage facilities rather than improvised spaces
A casual man-and-van or self-move can work for simple jobs, but for higher-value furniture or full households, a professional service reduces risk and saves both time and effort.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important to you, so we treat them with the same care we would our own. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your furniture while it is being moved
- Public liability insurance for work in and around your property
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling delicate and bulky items
- Regularly maintained, purpose-built vehicles
We follow recognised industry best practice for wrapping, lifting and stacking, and we continually review our procedures to maintain high standards of safety and care.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We focus on protecting both your belongings and the environment. Our approach includes:
- Using high-quality reusable blankets and covers to minimise waste
- Recycling cardboard, paper and plastics wherever possible
- Planning efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Maintaining vehicles to improve fuel efficiency and reliability
During handling, we use appropriate lifting techniques, floor protection and corner guards to protect your property as well as your furniture.
Typical Real-World Uses for Furniture Storage
Moving House
When completion dates do not line up, our furniture storage service bridges the gap. We can remove items from your current home, store them securely, and deliver them to your new address once you receive the keys.
Office Relocation or Refurbishment
Businesses use our storage when moving offices or refurbishing workspaces. We can store your desks, chairs, meeting tables and reception furniture until the new premises are ready, then deliver and place them for a smooth restart.
Renovations and Decorating
If you are having floors replaced, walls replastered or rooms redecorated, keeping furniture off-site protects it from dust, paint and damage. We collect before works begin and redeliver on completion.
Urgent or Unexpected Situations
Sometimes storage is needed at short notice – a sudden tenancy change, water damage, or an unplanned move. Where schedules allow, we offer rapid response collections to get your furniture safely into storage as quickly as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Pimlico cost?
The cost depends on how much furniture you have, how long you need storage and the access at your property. We usually charge a one-off fee for collection and delivery, plus a weekly or monthly storage rate based on the space you occupy. Smaller loads and shorter stays are naturally cheaper, while whole-house contents or long-term storage cost more. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you will pay before you commit.
Can you provide same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where our schedule allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day collection for urgent storage needs in Pimlico and surrounding areas. This is particularly useful if a tenancy ends unexpectedly, a sale completes earlier than planned, or there is an emergency such as a leak. Availability does depend on our existing bookings, so it is always best to contact us as soon as possible. We will be honest about what we can do and offer the quickest realistic option.
Are my items insured while in storage and during transport?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being collected and delivered, and by our standard storage cover while it is in our facility, subject to our terms and conditions. We also hold public liability insurance for work at your property. We will explain the level of cover included and any limits or exclusions when we provide your quote. If you require higher-value cover, we can usually arrange this or advise on top-up insurance options.
What exactly is included in your furniture storage service?
Our core service includes collection from your property, protective wrapping of your furniture, transport in our vehicles, secure storage in our facility, and redelivery to your chosen address when required. Within this, we position items in the rooms you specify on delivery. Optional extras include packing for boxed items, dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture, and materials such as boxes and tape. We will list everything included in your quote so you know precisely what to expect on the day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
Compared with a casual man-and-van, we offer a more structured, professional service. Our teams are trained in safe handling and protection of furniture, we use appropriate wrapping materials, and we operate secure, monitored storage rather than ad hoc garages or lock-ups. Your items are covered by our goods in transit and public liability insurance, and you receive a written quote and booking confirmation. Overall, you benefit from better protection, clearer communication and greater reliability.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as month-end and summer. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we will always try to help with shorter notice where possible. Even if your dates are not yet fixed, it is worth contacting us early so we can advise on availability, provisional bookings and the most practical timing for your collection and storage.
