Secure Storage in Harringay with Harringay Movers

At Harringay Movers, we provide secure, flexible storage solutions in Harringay to support every stage of your move. Whether you need short-term storage between properties or longer-term space for business stock, our professional, fully insured facilities and trained teams keep your belongings safe, organised and easily accessible.

Local Storage Expertise in Harringay

We have been moving and storing goods in and around Harringay for years, so we understand the pressures of London living – limited space, tight access, busy streets and changing tenancy dates. Our local knowledge means we can plan collections and deliveries efficiently, avoid congestion where possible and offer realistic advice on space requirements and timings.

Because we run both removals and storage from the Harringay area, we can coordinate everything for you – collection from your property, secure storage, and delivery to your new address – without you needing to deal with multiple companies.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

If you’re selling or renovating, our storage service is ideal for decluttering before photos and viewings, protecting furniture during building works, or bridging the gap between completion dates. We can collect, store and redeliver on your preferred schedule.

Renters

Rental dates don’t always line up. We provide flexible storage for renters between tenancies, moving in with family for a while, or heading abroad. You only pay for the space and duration you actually need, with options to scale up or down.

Landlords

Landlords use our storage when changing from furnished to unfurnished lets (or vice versa), during refurbishments or while awaiting bulky deliveries. We can store entire property contents, single rooms or selected items such as white goods and wardrobes.

Businesses

From online retailers needing overflow stock space to local offices in Harringay managing archives, furniture or seasonal items, our business storage is secure, flexible and cost-effective. We can also combine it with our office removals service for relocations or refits.

Students

Students at London universities often need storage over summer, placements or gap years. We offer affordable shared storage options for boxes, suitcases, bikes and small furniture, with convenient collection and redelivery to halls or house shares.

What You Can Store with Harringay Movers

Our storage is suitable for most typical household and office contents, including:

• Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (defrosted), microwaves
• Boxes of personal belongings, books, clothes and kitchenware
• IT equipment, office furniture, filing and archives
• Sports equipment, bicycles, hobby and craft items
• Artwork and mirrors (packed appropriately)

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are items we are unable to accept into storage:

• Perishable or open food and anything that may attract pests
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles, paint thinners, fuel)
• Illegal goods or items of illegal origin
• Live animals or plants
• Cash, jewellery and other high-value items best kept in a safe or bank
• Pressurised containers or chemicals

If you’re unsure whether something is suitable for storage, ask our team and we’ll advise before move day.

How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online, letting us know what you need to store, your dates and access details. We’ll ask a few simple questions about volume, property type and timescales, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery options.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger jobs, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey in Harringay or surrounding areas. This allows us to assess the volume accurately, check access (stairs, lifts, parking) and discuss any special packing or dismantling requirements. A proper survey helps avoid surprises on the day and ensures we allocate the right size vehicle and storage space.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed date, our trained team arrives with protective materials. We can offer:

• Full packing service – we pack everything into labelled boxes
• Part packing – you pack most items, we handle fragile or awkward pieces
• Self-pack – you pack, and we supply materials if required

Furniture is dismantled where needed, wrapped in padded covers and prepared for safe storage. Mattresses, sofas and delicate items are protected to minimise dust and risk of damage.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

Our removals team loads your belongings carefully onto our vehicles, securing them for transit to our storage facility. Every item or container is logged so we know exactly where it is stored. Your goods are then placed in clean, dry, secure units or containers, with access controlled and monitored.

5. Unloading & Placement When You’re Ready

When you’re ready for your items back, simply contact us to book a delivery slot. We retrieve your goods, transport them to your new address and place items in the rooms you specify. If agreed in advance, we can also reassemble furniture and remove used packing materials.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your overall cost will typically include:

• Collection from your property (based on volume, access and distance)
• Weekly or monthly storage charge (based on the space required)
• Optional packing materials and packing service
• Redelivery from storage to your new address

We’ll explain all charges in writing before you commit, so you know exactly what you’re paying for and can compare options. There are no hidden extras for basic access or standard insurance cover.

Why Choose Professional Storage over DIY or Man-and-Van

Using a casual man-and-van or trying to store items in a friend’s garage may seem cheaper, but often leads to problems: damp, damage, lack of insurance, unreliable timings and poor access. With Harringay Movers, you get:

• Professional handling and packing by experienced teams
• Secure, purpose-managed storage environment
• Documented inventories and clear contracts
• Flexible access and scheduled deliveries
• Peace of mind that your goods are properly protected and insured

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, so we operate to recognised industry standards and hold appropriate insurance, including:

• Goods in transit insurance while we move your items to and from storage
• Public liability cover for work at your property and our premises
• Trained, uniformed teams following correct lifting and packing techniques

We’ll explain our cover limits and terms clearly, and you’re welcome to discuss any particularly valuable items with us so we can advise on best protection.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your items as if they were our own. Protective blankets, padded covers, mattress bags and sturdy boxes help prevent knocks, scuffs and dust. We plan loads carefully to minimise movement during transit and storage.

We also pay attention to sustainability. Wherever possible, we use reusable protective materials, responsibly source cardboard and recycle or re-use boxes when they are still fit for purpose. By combining removals and storage in one service, we can reduce unnecessary journeys and emissions around Harringay.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

When completion dates don’t align or you’re downsizing but not ready to let go of everything, storage gives you breathing space. We can move some or all of your belongings into storage until you’re settled.

Office Relocation or Refurbishment

Businesses use our storage during office moves, fit-outs and refurbishments to keep furniture and equipment safe and out of the way. We can stagger deliveries so different floors or departments are completed in stages.

Urgent or Same-Week Moves

Sometimes a tenancy ends sooner than expected or a sale completes quickly. Our storage service in Harringay acts as a safety net. Even if your new property isn’t ready, we can move your contents into storage at short notice and deliver them later.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with Harringay Movers cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you need it for and whether you’d like us to collect and redeliver your items. We’ll usually quote a weekly or monthly rate based on volume, plus one-off charges for collection, any packing service and final delivery. Our aim is to be clear and competitive, so we’ll provide a written breakdown before you book. For an accurate figure, contact us with a rough inventory or arrange a quick survey.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in Harringay?

Where availability allows, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage, particularly for local moves in and around Harringay. If you’re facing an unexpected tenancy issue or a last-minute completion, call us as soon as possible with your details. We’ll check space, vehicles and crew availability and do our best to accommodate you. Even if we can’t move everything immediately, we can usually prioritise essentials and agree a follow-up collection for remaining items.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved, and by our storage insurance while they are in our care, subject to policy terms and value limits. We’ll explain the level of cover included as standard and can discuss options if you have particularly high-value items. Although we take great care and use professional packing and handling methods, insurance provides additional peace of mind that you are protected in the unlikely event of a problem.

What’s included in your storage service?

Our storage service can be as simple or as comprehensive as you need. As standard, we provide secure storage space in a clean, dry, monitored facility and a clear contract for the agreed term. Most customers also ask us to collect and redeliver their items, and many add a packing service for convenience and protection. We’re happy to supply boxes and materials, dismantle and reassemble furniture, and place everything in the right rooms on return.

How is this different from using a basic man-and-van and self-storage?

With a casual man-and-van and separate self-storage, you often have to manage everything yourself – multiple bookings, lifting, loading, paperwork and access. Standards and insurance can also vary widely. With Harringay Movers, you deal with one professional, fully insured company handling move-out, storage and move-in as a single, joined-up service. Our trained teams load and protect your belongings properly, and our systems track your items so you always know where they are and how to access them.

How far in advance should I book storage?

Ideally, book as soon as you know your dates, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. A week or two’s notice usually gives us plenty of time to arrange surveys, materials and schedules. However, we understand that plans can change quickly when moving in London, so we always keep some flexibility for short-notice jobs. Even if your dates are not fixed, it’s worth contacting us early so we can pencil you in and advise on the best options.
