Storage

Storage for the gap between moves.

Removals and storage handled as one job: our crew moves you out, your things go into secure container storage with our partners at M54 Self Storage, and we deliver them to the new house when the keys finally exist. No self-storage van shuffle in the middle.

  • Containers near the M54Minutes from the motorway, easy to reach from the whole region.
  • Short or long termThree weeks for a chain wobble or a year between countries. Same containers.
  • One crew end to endThe people who load the container are the people who deliver it back.
  • Loaded for the returnBeds and essentials packed last, so they come out first.

Storage between selling and buying

The classic case: your sale completes, your purchase does not. In March 2025 the Wilkes family's new-build in Penkridge slipped by three weeks, so we moved them out on schedule, inventoried the load, and kept the beds accessible at the container door for the day the builder handed over. Storage was the part they worried about most. It turned out to be the painless bit.

Chain delays get the same treatment at shorter notice. When the Coleman family needed storage mid-move in November 2025, we rearranged the load plan the same week and delivered the second phase to Solihull once their keys were ready.

Secure container storage, not a unit you visit with a torch

Your furniture travels wrapped, goes into the container wrapped, and stays wrapped until it comes out. We inventory the main items as they load, keep labelled groups together, and store business stock organised by type when the job needs it, not just stacked wherever it fits.

A storage company review says it best: mark leach runs one, struggled to find a removals firm he would put his own name to, and chose us. That is the recommendation we are proudest of.

What you can store, and how it is kept

A container takes a whole house or just a few rooms. Your load goes into its own container rather than being mixed in with strangers' belongings, so what goes in is what comes out, in the same condition and the same groups.

Everything is wrapped before it travels, stays wrapped in the container, and we inventory the main items as they load so nothing goes missing in the gap. The secure container storage near the M54 suits short stays of a few weeks or longer spells of months between houses or even countries. If you need something partway through, that is usually fine by arrangement, so essentials are loaded last and sit by the door.

A few things cannot go into store for everyone's safety: food and perishables, anything flammable or hazardous, and plants or anything living. If you are not sure about an item, ask when you book and we will give you a straight answer. Storage is quoted by how much you have and how long you need it, as part of the one move-and-store price.

Four recent storage jobs, exactly as they happened

March 2025

Pinfold Lane, Penkridge ST19secure containers near the M54

3 bedrooms into storage

Their new-build completion slipped by three weeks, so storage became the safety net. The team inventoried the main items, wrapped the furniture and made sure the beds were accessible first for the eventual return.

"Storage was the part I worried about most, but it was painless."
The Wilkes family

August 2025

Victoria Road, Walsall WS3containers near the M54

2 bedrooms plus garage items

The garage had tools, bikes and half a shed's worth of mysterious useful bits. The team separated sharp items, wrapped the bikes and kept labelled groups together. Their dog, Barney, tried to leave with the socket set.

"Everything came back exactly as it went in, only less stressful."
The O'Brien family

November 2025

Earlsdon Avenue, Coventry CV5stored near Brewood before delivery to Solihull B92

4 bedrooms between homes

A chain delay meant the family needed storage at short notice. The team rearranged the load plan so essentials were easiest to reach, then delivered the second phase once keys were ready.

"They rescued us from a chain wobble without making us feel like a nuisance."
The Coleman family

May 2026

St Michael's Street, Shrewsbury SY1stored near the M54 for summer access

seasonal business stock

The stock needed to stay organised by product type, not just stacked wherever it fitted. The team created labelled sections and kept the fragile display stands upright.

"We could find things again afterwards, which was the whole battle."
The Griffiths family

Frequently asked questions

How does removals with storage work?

One quote covers all three stages: we move you out, your load goes into a secure container near the M54, and we deliver it to the new address when you are ready. You deal with one company and one phone number throughout.

How long can you store our things?

As long as you need. Some customers bridge a three-week completion gap, others store for months between houses or countries. Short and long term both live in the same secure containers.

Where is the storage facility?

Your goods are stored with our partners at M54 Self Storage, just off the M54 in Staffordshire, minutes from the motorway network, which keeps the return delivery quick wherever in the West Midlands the new house is.

Is everything protected while it is stored?

Furniture goes in wrapped in transit blankets and shrink wrap and stays wrapped for the duration. We inventory the main items at loading, and the crew that packed the container is the crew that empties it.

Can I get something out of storage partway through?

Tell us when you book and we will load with that in mind: essentials and anything you might need sit at the container door, not behind the sofa wall. Mid-store access to a specific item is usually possible by arrangement.

How much does storage cost?

It is priced by how much you are storing and for how long, and on a move-and-store job it is quoted as part of the single price rather than a separate bill to manage. Tell us roughly what is going in and the rough dates, and the figure comes back with the move quote.
