Because we are close by, we can often offer same-day or next-day short-term storage, ideal for urgent situations such as completion dates moving, last-minute tenancy changes, or unexpected delays on renovation projects.

How Our Short-Term Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Transparent Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few practical questions and then provide a clear, written quotation showing unit size, weekly rate, and any collection or delivery charges. There are no hidden fees.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger loads, we recommend a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to: confirm the volume, suggest the right unit size, assess access at your property, and discuss any special handling requirements. Surveys are free and help avoid paying for more space than you need.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your belongings yourself or opt for our professional packing service. Our team uses quality boxes, wrapping and protective covers to minimise the risk of damage. We label boxes clearly so that items are easy to locate and return, even if your storage period is quite short.
4. Loading & Transport to Our Facility
On the agreed day, our trained movers arrive in fully equipped vehicles. We protect floors, carefully carry and load your goods, and secure everything for transit. Our vehicles include blankets, straps and trolleys to ensure safe handling from door to unit.
5. Unloading, Placement & Access
At Storage Park Royal your items are unloaded into your allocated unit. We stack and arrange items sensibly so you can reach important boxes and furniture if you need mid-term access. When you are ready for your goods back, we can deliver them to your new address or arrange for you to collect directly.
Pricing: Clear, Flexible and Fair
Short-term storage is priced based on:
- Unit size (measured in square or cubic feet)
- Duration of storage (minimum one week)
- Optional services such as collection, delivery and packing
We explain all costs upfront. You only pay for the space and time you actually need, and we can adjust your unit size if your requirements change. For businesses and longer short-term bookings (for example, 8–12 weeks) we can often agree preferential rates.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Using a professional storage provider brings important advantages over storing items in a garage, spare room, or with a casual man-and-van:
- Units are secure, dry and purpose-designed, reducing risk of damp and damage.
- Your goods are handled by trained staff who know how to move and stack safely.
- You benefit from proper goods in transit insurance and public liability cover.
- Access is controlled: CCTV, alarms and robust locking systems.
- Paperwork is clear, with agreed terms, rather than informal arrangements.
For valuable belongings and business-critical items, the extra security and professionalism makes a real difference.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Storage Park Royal operates to recognised industry standards and provides:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while they are being moved to and from our facility.
- Public liability cover for work carried out at your home, office or site.
- Fully insured storage facility with appropriate protections in place.
- Trained moving teams with experience in handling delicate, bulky and heavy items.
We will explain insurance limits, exclusions and any options to increase cover where needed, so you can make an informed decision.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Our approach is built around careful handling and responsible operations:
- We use protective blankets, mattress covers and shrink-wrap to guard against scuffs and dust.
- Units are kept clean, dry and well-maintained, with regular checks.
- We reuse sturdy cartons where appropriate and recycle packing materials wherever possible.
- Our vehicles are routed efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions.
This combination of professional care and sustainable practices helps protect both your belongings and the environment.
Real-World Uses for Short-Term Storage
Moving House
Chains often fall out of sync, and completion dates can shift. Our short-term storage bridges the gap: we collect from your old property, hold everything safely, then deliver once you have keys to your new home.
Office Relocation and Refits
Businesses use our units to store desks, chairs, IT equipment and stock while offices are refurbished or moves are staged. This keeps working areas clear and protects assets from dust and damage.
Renovations and Decorating
Short-term storage lets you clear rooms before builders arrive, avoiding damage and making it easier for trades to work efficiently. When the job is done, we return your furniture and belongings to a clean, finished space.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Tenancy ended suddenly? Completion delayed at the last moment? Because we are based in Park Royal, we can often arrange urgent collection and storage at short notice, giving you breathing space when plans change unexpectedly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does short-term storage cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need and for how long. We offer a range of unit sizes, from small lockers to larger rooms suitable for the contents of a full house or office. Prices are quoted weekly, with a minimum one-week term. You will receive a clear written quote showing storage, collection and optional packing costs separately. There are no hidden charges, and if you find you need more or less space, we can usually adjust your unit and costs accordingly.
Can you provide same-day or urgent short-term storage?
In many cases, yes. Being based in Park Royal means we can react quickly to urgent situations such as last-minute tenancy changes, delayed completions or emergency repairs. If you call early in the day, we will check unit availability and vehicle schedules and do our best to offer same-day collection and storage. Where same-day is not possible, we prioritise next-day slots. Our team will always be honest about what we can realistically achieve so you can plan with confidence.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved to and from our facility, and the storage site itself is fully insured and secured. Standard cover has limits and exclusions, so we will explain these clearly before you book. For particularly high-value items, you may wish to increase cover or speak to your own insurer. Our aim is to ensure you understand exactly how your belongings are protected and what information we need from you to keep cover valid.
What is included in your short-term storage service?
As standard, we provide a clean, secure storage unit, access within agreed hours, and support from our professional team. Most customers also choose collection and delivery, where our trained movers transport your goods to and from the unit. Optional extras include packing, supply of boxes and materials, and help with dismantling or reassembling furniture. We will build a package around what you actually need, so you are not paying for services you will not use.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may move items, but usually does not offer secure, monitored storage, formal insurance cover or trained staff. With Storage Park Royal you get purpose-built units, CCTV and controlled access, documented goods in transit insurance, and a professional office team to organise everything. We also provide clear terms, itemised quotes and the ability to extend or shorten your storage easily. This reduces risk, improves reliability and gives you a single accountable company looking after the whole process.
How far in advance should I book short-term storage?
Where possible, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives you the widest choice of unit sizes and preferred collection times. However, we understand that circumstances often change quickly, so we always keep some flexibility for short-notice and urgent bookings. Even if your dates are uncertain, it is worth speaking to us early so we can pencil in options and guide you on packing, access and likely costs.
