Between selling and buying

Storage in Finchley, for when the dates don’t line up
Somewhere safe to keep your things between moves — by the box, the unit or the container. We collect, hold and deliver when you’re ready, so a gap in the chain never becomes a crisis.
Ask a Finchley household what they wish they’d sorted sooner, and storage comes up again and again. Chains slip, completion moves, a new place needs work before you move in — and suddenly there’s a household’s worth of belongings with nowhere to go. That’s exactly what our removals and storage service is for. We can pack, collect and keep your things secure, then deliver them to the new place the moment you’re ready.
Because we handle the move and the storage together, there’s no double-handling and no juggling two companies. The same team that wraps your things loads them into storage and brings them back out — so nothing gets lost in translation, and your inventory stays in one place.
Container or unit — which suits you
The right kind of storage depends on what you’re keeping and for how long. A few options we’ll talk you through:
- Container storage — your belongings are loaded into a dedicated container kept in a secure facility. Good for a full household stored for a while, with less handling once it’s sealed.
- Storage units / rooms — a room-sized space you can add to or draw from over time. Handy when you expect to need access, or your storage needs might change.
- By the box — for a smaller amount, sometimes all you need is a batch of boxes held safely rather than a whole unit.
When we survey your move, we can size the storage at the same time — so you’re not paying for space you won’t use, or squeezing into too little. It’s all part of one conversation.
Getting to your things
Need something back while it’s stored? Access can usually be arranged — just tell us up front if you think you’ll want it regularly, and we’ll pack and place things so the items you might need aren’t buried at the back. It’s the kind of small planning step that saves a headache later.
Finchley — and a note on “Finchley Road”
We look after storage across Finchley proper — Finchley Central (N3), North Finchley (N12) and East Finchley (N2) — and the neighbouring parts of Barnet. One thing worth clearing up: Finchley Road (NW3/NW6, over toward Hampstead and Swiss Cottage) is a different area from Finchley itself. We can help with moves and storage around there too as adjacent coverage — just be aware it’s a separate spot from the N3 Finchley these pages are mostly about.
Storage often pairs with a move, so it’s built into the way we quote. Take a look at local removals or the by-question services, or just tell us what you need storing and we’ll size it with you.
When people use storage
Downsizing gradually
Move into a smaller place without a fire-sale — store what won’t fit yet while you decide what stays.
Renovating a room (or a whole house)
Clear the space, keep the furniture safe and dust-free, and bring it back when the paint’s dry.
Working or travelling away
Heading abroad or between rentals? Store a household’s worth and pick up where you left off.
Good to know
Storage in Finchley — your questions
What kind of storage do you offer?
Flexible options to suit the job — from a few boxes to a full household. Depending on what you’re storing and for how long, that might be a container load kept in a secure facility, or a room-sized unit you can add to over time. We’ll talk you through which fits when we understand what you’re moving.
Can I store things between selling and buying?
That’s one of the most common reasons people use us. Chains slip, completion dates move, and suddenly there’s a gap between homes. We can collect, hold your things safely, and deliver to the new place when you’re ready — so a wobble in the chain doesn’t become a crisis.
Can I get to my things while they’re in storage?
Usually yes — access can be arranged when you need something back. Tell us up front if you think you’ll want regular access and we’ll factor that into how we pack and store it, so the things you might need aren’t buried at the back.
How much storage will I need?
Hard to guess from the outside, easy for us to work out with you. When we survey the move we can size the storage at the same time, so you’re not paying for space you won’t use or squeezing into too little. It’s all part of the same conversation.
Ready when you are
