Secure Storage in Haringey with Haringey Movers
At Haringey Movers, we provide secure, flexible storage solutions across Haringey and the surrounding areas. As a local, experienced removals and storage company, we understand the realities of moving in London – tight timelines, limited space, and the need for a reliable partner you can trust with your belongings.
Professional Storage Solutions in Haringey
Our storage service is designed to bridge the gap between where you are now and where you need to be. Whether you’re between properties, decluttering before a sale, or running a business that’s short on space, we offer:
- Short-term storage – from a few days to a few weeks
- Long-term storage – months or longer, with flexible terms
- Containerised storage for maximum security
- Inventory-logged storage so you know exactly what’s with us
All storage is handled by our trained, professional moving teams and covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance while we’re transporting your items.
Local Expertise in Haringey
Based in Haringey, we know the local streets, estates and residential blocks extremely well. From period terraces in Crouch End to flats in Wood Green and new-builds in Tottenham, we understand the access issues, parking restrictions and building rules that can complicate moves and storage.
This local knowledge allows us to plan collections and deliveries precisely, avoid delays, and recommend the right storage size for typical Haringey homes and businesses. You deal with a nearby team, not a faceless national call centre.
Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you’re selling, renovating or downsizing. Store furniture, white goods, personal items and seasonal belongings safely while you complete your sale or works, without filling up the garage or spare rooms.
Renters
If your tenancy dates don’t line up or you’re moving into a furnished property, our storage keeps your possessions secure between moves. We can collect from your old flat and deliver straight to the new one when you’re ready.
Landlords
Use storage to hold furniture while refurbishing or switching between furnished and unfurnished lets. We can remove items, store them, and return them when needed, helping to keep void periods to a minimum.
Businesses
Our storage supports office moves, stock overflow, archive documents and event equipment. We work with shops, offices and trades across Haringey, offering flexible access and scheduled deliveries when you need items back.
Students
Perfect for students between terms or placements. Instead of lugging everything home, we’ll collect from your halls or house, store securely, and redeliver at the start of the new term.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a brief description of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask about the size of your property, main items and any access issues. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate for storage and collection/delivery.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger loads or more complex situations, we’ll arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to accurately assess volume, number of storage containers required and any special handling needed. It keeps costs transparent and avoids surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our team will bring materials, pack carefully and label everything for easy retrieval. Furniture is wrapped and protected to guard against dust, knocks and movement in transit.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
On the agreed day, our trained team arrives on time, loads your belongings safely and transports them directly to our storage facility. All items are handled with care, stacked correctly and secured in sealed storage containers or designated units.
5. Unloading, Storage & Final Delivery
Once in storage, we create a basic inventory so you know what’s with us. When you’re ready for your items back, simply book a delivery date. We’ll retrieve your goods, bring them to your new address and place them in the rooms you choose.
Transparent Pricing for Storage
We price storage based on three main factors:
- The volume of goods (how much space you need)
- The duration of storage (short or long term)
- Collection and delivery requirements (distance, access, floors)
Prices are explained clearly in advance, with separate lines for storage, packing (if required) and transport. There are no hidden fees for basic access or standard handling. Long-term storage and repeat business customers may benefit from reduced rates.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Self-storage and casual services can seem cheaper at first glance, but often come with extra trips, wasted space and higher risk. With Haringey Movers, you benefit from:
- Professional handling and loading to avoid damage
- Correct estimation of space so you don’t overpay for unused capacity
- Goods in transit insurance while we move your items
- Public liability cover protecting you and your property
- Coordinated collection and redelivery so you only move things once
A casual man-and-van typically doesn’t offer the same level of protection, insurance or accountability, and you may still need to arrange and manage storage yourself.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a responsible removals and storage company, we maintain robust protection for our clients:
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while in our vehicles
- Public liability insurance for work in and around your property
- Trained, vetted and uniformed staff using proper lifting and securing techniques
We work to industry best practice, keep our vehicles well maintained and use quality packing materials. While we treat every item as if it were our own, this cover gives additional peace of mind.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We focus on both the safety of your belongings and our environmental impact. Furniture and delicate items are wrapped in protective blankets and specialised materials to prevent scratches and dust. We plan loads carefully to avoid crushing or movement in transit.
Where possible, we use reusable blankets, crates and durable cartons, and we recycle packaging that can’t be reused. Efficient route planning reduces unnecessary mileage, helping to lower emissions while keeping costs reasonable.
Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House
If your sale and purchase don’t align, we can empty your old property, hold everything in storage, and deliver once your new keys are released. This avoids rushed decisions and overcrowded temporary accommodation.
Office Relocation
Businesses often need phased moves. We can store surplus desks, files and equipment while you fit out new premises, then deliver in stages to match your schedule.
Urgent or Last-Minute Storage
Occasionally, moves fall through, builders overrun, or landlords change plans. Where capacity allows, we offer rapid-response storage, collecting at short notice and keeping your belongings safe until your situation is resolved.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage with Haringey Movers cost?
Storage costs depend on how much space you need, how long you need it for, and whether you require collection and delivery. Smaller loads stored short term will naturally be cheaper than full household contents over several months. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote showing storage, transport and any packing separately. This way you can see exactly what you’re paying for and adjust the level of service to suit your budget and timescales.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Subject to availability, we can often provide same-day or short-notice storage across Haringey. If you’ve been let down by another mover, had a last-minute change of plan, or need to vacate quickly, call us as soon as possible. We’ll check vehicle and unit availability, then advise what we can realistically do. While we can’t guarantee space at very short notice during peak times, we always do our best to accommodate urgent situations safely and professionally.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we’re transporting them to and from storage. Once stored, our facilities are secured and monitored, and your goods are protected under our standard terms. We will explain the level of cover clearly, including any single-item limits or exclusions. For very high-value items, we may recommend that you maintain or extend your own insurance. We’re happy to provide documentation to your insurer if they require it.
What’s included in your storage service?
Our standard service includes collection by a professional team, safe loading, transport to our facility, unloading into storage and redelivery at the end of your term. We provide protective wrapping for furniture and basic inventory notes so you know what’s stored. Optional extras include full packing, supply of packing materials and special handling for fragile or bulky items. We’ll agree exactly what’s included before you book so there are no surprises on the day.
How is your service different from a man-and-van with self-storage?
With a man-and-van plus self-storage, you typically organise everything separately, estimate your own space, and accept limited protection if something goes wrong. With Haringey Movers, you deal with one professional company that handles the whole process: survey, packing (if required), collection, storage and redelivery. Our trained teams, structured processes and insurance cover significantly reduce the risk of damage or loss. You also avoid multiple trips to a storage depot and the guesswork around unit size.
How far in advance should I book storage?
We recommend booking as early as you can, especially during busy moving periods such as summer and month-end. A week or two’s notice is ideal for most jobs and allows time for a survey if needed. However, we understand plans can change, so we’ll always try to accommodate shorter notice where capacity allows. Once you know your key dates, get in touch and we’ll reserve space and vehicles to match your schedule.
