Professional Furniture Storage by Experienced Movers
Our furniture storage service is designed for people who want their belongings collected, protected and stored by a professional, fully insured team – not just dropped into a random unit.

- Logged and inventoried for straightforward return
Whether you need short-term storage between moves or long-term storage during a renovation, we handle the entire process for you.

- Offer realistic time frames for both urgent and planned moves
You benefit from a service that is not only secure, but also efficient and practical for real Castelnau homes and businesses.
Who Our Furniture Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal when you are selling, redecorating or renovating. We can store selected items to declutter for viewings, or take complete room sets while building work is carried out.
Renters
If you are between tenancies, going away for work or moving into a furnished flat, our storage gives you a safe place to keep your furniture without committing to a larger rental property.
Landlords
Store part-furnished or surplus items between tenancies, during refurbishments or while you decide on future use. We can collect directly from the property and return only what you need.
Businesses
From surplus desks and chairs to archived reception furniture, we offer organised storage for businesses that need space back quickly without disposing of quality items.
Students
For students returning home during holidays or placements, we can store beds, desks, sofas and personal furniture, avoiding the cost and hassle of moving everything back and forth.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact Storage Castelnau by phone or online with a brief outline of what you need stored and for how long. We ask a few questions about the size, volume, location and access. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger loads, we arrange a short virtual or onsite survey. A survey helps us accurately assess volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any special handling requirements. This means we can send the right crew, the right vehicle and enough packing materials on the day, avoiding delays or unexpected charges.
3. Packing & Preparation
On collection day, our trained team carefully wraps and protects your furniture. We use blankets, export wrap, mattress covers and specialist materials where needed. Items such as wardrobes or tables may be dismantled for safer, more efficient storage. Everything is labelled and listed to create an inventory for easy identification and return.
4. Loading & Transport
Your furniture is loaded using professional equipment such as trolleys and skates, with floors and doorways protected as required. Our vehicles are clean, equipped with securing straps and operated by experienced drivers. We transport your goods directly to our secure storage facility without unnecessary stops.
5. Unloading & Placement into Storage
Once at the facility, we unload and place items carefully into your allocated unit or container. Heavier items go at the bottom, with lighter or more delicate pieces on top. We confirm your inventory and storage plan so that when you are ready, redelivery is straightforward – whether you need everything back or only selected pieces.
Transparent Furniture Storage Pricing
We keep pricing straightforward, with clear separation between:
- Collection & handling charges
- Weekly or monthly storage fees
- Redelivery charges when you are ready
Costs are based on the volume of furniture, access conditions, distance from Castelnau to our storage facility and the length of storage. We explain all charges upfront so you know exactly what to budget for, and we never add hidden extras at the end. For longer-term storage, we can discuss cost-effective options and review dates.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Man-and-Van?
On the surface, hiring a casual man-and-van or doing it yourself can look cheaper. In reality, damaged furniture, poorly packed items and inadequate insurance often work out far more expensive.
With Storage Castelnau you get:
- Trained teams who know how to handle heavy and delicate items safely
- Proper packing, stacking and protection inside the vehicle and the unit
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Documented inventories so nothing goes missing
- Secure, monitored storage rather than a damp garage or shared lock-up
This approach protects both your belongings and your peace of mind.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We operate to professional removals and storage standards, with appropriate insurances in place:
- Goods in transit insurance while your items are being moved between your property and our storage facility
- Public liability cover for work carried out in your home, office or building
- Trained, vetted staff following proven handling and safety procedures
Before your move, we explain the level of cover provided and any options to increase limits if you are storing particularly high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your furniture as if it were our own. That means taking time to prepare properly, not rushing the job. We use clean blankets, protective covers and quality packing materials, and we take care to protect walls, floors and banisters while moving items in and out.
We aim to work sustainably by:
- Reusing blankets and durable packing materials where practical
- Recycling cardboard and plastics responsibly
- Planning routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage
The result is a service that is careful with your belongings and considerate of the local environment.
Real-World Use Cases for Furniture Storage
Moving House
When completion dates do not quite line up, furniture storage bridges the gap. We can collect from your Castelnau home, store for as long as needed, then redeliver when your new property is ready.
Office Relocation
Businesses often need to decant furniture while new premises are fitted out. We can store desks, seating, shelving and meeting room furniture, then return and place it according to your new floor plan.
Renovations and Refits
Keeping furniture on site during building work risks dust, damage and delays. Our storage service clears the space so trades can work efficiently, while your items remain clean, dry and safe.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Tenancy end dates, rapid sales or unforeseen situations sometimes require quick action. Subject to availability, we can offer short-notice collection from Castelnau properties and secure same-day storage, then arrange delivery once your situation has settled.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Castelnau cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much furniture you have, how easy access is at your property, and how long you need storage. We charge a collection and handling fee, then a weekly or monthly storage rate based on volume, plus a redelivery charge when you are ready. Following a brief discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote so you can see each element separately and decide what best suits your budget and timescale.
Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where our schedule allows, we can often help with same-day or short-notice storage in Castelnau and nearby areas. The more information you can give us about volume, access and timing, the easier it is to confirm availability quickly. For very urgent situations, we prioritise essential protection and safe removal, then agree longer-term arrangements once everything is secure. It is always worth calling – we will be honest about what we can do on the day.
Is my furniture insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your property and our storage facility, and by our storage cover while it is in our care. We also hold public liability cover for work at your premises. Our team will explain the standard limits of cover and can discuss options to increase these if you are storing particularly high-value items. Full details are provided in writing before you confirm your booking.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
Our standard service includes collection from your Castelnau property, basic protection of furniture with blankets and covers, transport to our secure storage facility, placement into your allocated unit or container, and eventual redelivery to your chosen address. We can also dismantle and reassemble furniture where required, and supply additional packing materials if you want to protect smaller items yourself. Any optional extras will be clearly listed in your written quotation before you decide.
How is your service different from a man-and-van?
With a casual man-and-van, you are often responsible for packing, lifting and any damage that might occur, and storage may be ad hoc. With Storage Castelnau, you get trained staff, fully insured transport, secure, monitored storage and proper inventories. We provide written quotes, clear terms and a single point of responsibility for your goods from collection to redelivery. This reduces risk, provides better protection and usually works out better value over the full life of your storage.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
We recommend booking as early as you can, particularly for busy periods such as month-end or summer. A week or two is usually ideal, giving us time to survey (if needed) and plan your collection slot. However, we appreciate that not every situation is predictable, and we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule permits. The sooner you get in touch, the more options we can offer in terms of dates and times.
