Furniture Storage Welling – Secure, Flexible Space for Your Home or Business
At Storage Welling, we provide safe, flexible furniture storage solutions for households and businesses across Welling and the surrounding areas. Whether you are between properties, refurbishing, downsizing or simply short of space, we store your furniture securely, handle it carefully and make access straightforward.
Professional Furniture Storage in Welling
Our furniture storage is designed around how people in Welling actually live and work. As a local company, we understand the typical London and Kent property layouts, from compact flats to larger family houses and busy high-street premises. Our team are trained in lifting, wrapping and stacking furniture safely, so your items stay in the same condition they arrived in.
Unlike casual storage or a basic lock-up, we combine secure units with a removals-standard handling service. We can collect, wrap, transport, store and redeliver your furniture at a time that suits you.

Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and hygiene reasons, some items cannot be placed in storage:

- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (e.g. fuel, paint thinners, gas cylinders)
- Illegal items or stolen goods
- Live animals or plants

If you are unsure about a particular item, please ask us. We will advise on what is acceptable and suggest safe alternatives where needed.
How Our Furniture Storage Service Works
We follow a clear, proven process so you always know what is happening with your furniture.
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Storage Welling by phone or online with details of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few simple questions about your furniture, property access and timings. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and delivery options.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger jobs or mixed contents, we arrange a brief survey. This can often be done by video call or photos, or we can visit your property in Welling. The survey allows us to confirm the space you require, assess access (stairs, lifts, parking) and plan the safest way to move your items. This avoids surprises on the day and ensures we allocate the right team and vehicle.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the scheduled day, our professional team arrives with suitable materials. We can offer:
- Full furniture wrapping using padded covers, blankets and shrink wrap.
- Dismantling of beds, tables and wardrobes where needed.
- Protective covers for mattresses and upholstered items.
You are welcome to do some preparation yourself, but our trained staff ensure everything is safely wrapped and labelled so it can be stacked securely in storage.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
We load your furniture carefully onto our vehicles, using trolleys and handling equipment where appropriate. Everything is secured for transit to our Welling storage facility or nearest partner facility. Our vehicles are covered by goods in transit insurance, giving you reassurance that your items are protected while on the road.
5. Unloading, Storage & Future Redelivery
On arrival at the storage facility, we unload and stack your furniture in your allocated space to make the best use of the area while ensuring ventilation and access. When you are ready to receive your furniture back, we arrange a convenient delivery slot and place items into the correct rooms at your new or refurbished property.
Transparent Furniture Storage Pricing
We believe in clear pricing with no hidden extras. Your furniture storage quote will typically include:
- The cost of the storage space (charged weekly or monthly, depending on term).
- Collection from your property in Welling or nearby.
- Initial wrapping and basic protection for furniture.
- Standard redelivery to a local address when your storage ends.
Prices vary according to the volume of furniture, access conditions, the level of packing required and the length of storage. Longer-term bookings often qualify for better rates. We always explain what is included and any optional extras, such as premium packing or additional access visits.
Why Choose Professional Storage Welling Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Storing furniture may seem straightforward, but poor handling or unsuitable conditions can cause damage. By using a professional service like Storage Welling, you benefit from:
- Experienced, trained teams who know how to lift, wrap and stack furniture safely.
- Appropriate protective materials and covers, not just dust sheets.
- Secure storage facilities with controlled access and monitored security.
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for peace of mind.
- A single, accountable company handling collection, storage and redelivery.
A casual man-and-van or DIY approach may appear cheaper at first, but the risk of scratches, tears or more serious damage is far higher. Our service is designed to protect the furniture you have invested in.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to professional moving and storage standards. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance while your furniture is being moved.
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property.
- Trained moving teams who follow safe lifting and handling practices.
- Careful inventory recording for larger storage jobs, so items are checked on entry and exit.
If you have high-value or particularly delicate pieces, we can discuss additional cover or specialist packing options to match your needs.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item of furniture as if it were our own. Our team use padded covers, blankets, corner protectors and floor runners to guard against damage during collection and delivery. In storage, items are stacked sensibly to avoid pressure on delicate parts.
We also aim to work in a more sustainable way by reusing durable materials where appropriate, recycling cardboard and minimising unnecessary journeys through efficient route planning. Keeping your existing furniture in use for longer is itself a more sustainable choice than replacing it prematurely.
Real-World Uses for Our Furniture Storage in Welling

- Urgent situations – Short-notice tenancy changes, emergency repairs or flood damage where you need items out quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Welling cost?
The cost depends on how much furniture you have, how long you need storage and whether you require collection and redelivery. We typically price by the volume of goods and the storage period, with discounts available for longer-term bookings. Your quote will show the weekly or monthly storage fee, plus any handling and transport charges. There are no hidden extras, and we are happy to adjust options to fit your budget. Contact us with a rough list of items and dates, and we will provide a clear, detailed estimate.
Can you provide same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where availability allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day furniture storage in Welling, especially for smaller loads or urgent situations such as last-minute tenancy changes or emergency repairs. The more notice you can give, the easier it is for us to allocate the ideal team and space, but we understand that plans sometimes change quickly. If you need urgent storage, call us as soon as possible with details of your items and timing, and we will advise what we can do and provide an immediate quotation.
Are my belongings insured while in furniture storage?
Yes. Your furniture is protected by goods in transit insurance while our vehicles are transporting it, and our public liability cover protects against damage to property during handling. Standard storage cover is included as part of our service, and we take care to minimise risks through proper packing and careful stacking. If you have particularly high-value or antique pieces, we recommend discussing them with us in advance so we can confirm suitable cover levels or arrange additional protection if required. Full details of our insurance arrangements are available with your quote and terms.
What exactly is included in your furniture storage service?
Our standard service can include collection from your Welling property, professional wrapping of key furniture items, transport to our storage facility, secure storage for the agreed period and redelivery to your new or existing address. We provide protective covers and blankets as needed, and our trained team will place items in the rooms you specify on return. Optional extras include full packing of smaller items, dismantling and reassembly of large pieces, and additional access visits while items are in storage. We always outline what is included in writing before you book.
How is professional storage different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van service typically offers transport only, with limited protection and no dedicated storage facility. By contrast, Storage Welling provides a complete, managed solution: trained staff, proper packing materials, secure monitored storage and documented processes. We carry appropriate insurance, plan access carefully and handle your furniture with the care it deserves. Using a casual service can lead to poor stacking, damage during transit or items stored in unsuitable conditions. With us, you have one responsible company looking after your belongings from collection through to final delivery.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
We recommend booking as soon as you know your dates, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer. A week or two’s notice is usually ideal, giving time for a survey if needed and allowing us to secure the right unit size. That said, we regularly help customers at shorter notice and will always do our best to accommodate you. The more information you can provide about your furniture and timings, the easier it is for us to plan an efficient, cost-effective storage solution.
