Secure Storage in Enfield by Enfield Movers

At Enfield Movers we provide safe, flexible storage solutions in Enfield for households and businesses who need extra space, short or long term. As a local, professional removals and storage company, we collect, protect, store and return your belongings with care, backed by fully insured services and trained teams.

Our Storage Service in Enfield

We offer containerised and room-based storage for almost any situation where you need secure space away from your property. Whether you are between homes, renovating, downsizing, or simply decluttering, we can collect your items from your address, store them safely in our Enfield facility, and deliver them back whenever you are ready.

Our storage is designed to be as simple as possible: one point of contact, clear pricing, and a consistent team that understands how to handle your belongings correctly.

Local Enfield Expertise

Because we are based in and around Enfield, we understand local streets, parking restrictions, and access issues typical of North London properties and surrounding areas. From narrow terraced roads to high-rise flats, we plan every collection and redelivery around local conditions to minimise disruption and protect your items.

Our drivers and porters work in Enfield daily, so we can usually offer flexible time slots and practical advice on preparing your items for storage in local properties, including arranging permits where required.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you are moving house, redecorating, or creating space to present your property for sale. We can store furniture, boxes, seasonal items, and family possessions securely while you focus on your move or project.

Renters

If your tenancy dates do not line up, or you are moving into a smaller property, storage gives you breathing space. We collect from flats and HMOs, carefully handling stairwells, lifts and tight access commonly found in rented accommodation.

Landlords

We support landlords between lets, during refurbishments, and when changing furnishings. We can remove and store furniture sets, white goods and contents quickly so you can carry out works without delay.

Businesses

Our storage is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses who need space for archived files, surplus furniture, exhibition materials, or stock. We offer professional handling, inventory options, and scheduled access or redelivery to minimise downtime.

Students

Students in and around Enfield can store belongings between terms, during placements, or while travelling. We can collect from halls or shared houses and keep boxes, small furniture and personal items secure until you return.

What You Can Store With Us

Our Enfield storage can accommodate a wide range of household and business items, including:

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other household furniture
• Moving boxes, suitcases and bags
• Kitchen equipment and small appliances
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment
• Sports equipment, bicycles, camping gear
• Exhibition stands, marketing materials and display items
• Seasonal items such as Christmas decorations and garden furniture

Items We Cannot Store

To comply with safety regulations and insurance conditions, we are unable to store:

• Perishable goods or food items
• Flammable, corrosive or hazardous materials (e.g. fuel, paint thinners, gas cylinders)
• Illegal items or stolen goods
• Live animals or plants
• Cash, jewellery or high-value collectibles best held in specialist facilities
• Explosives, fireworks or weapons

If you are unsure whether something can be stored, we will advise you clearly before collection.

How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online and tell us what you need to store, your property type, and timescales. We will ask a few practical questions and provide an initial estimate based on volume, access and distance. Our quotes are clear, with storage charges explained monthly or weekly depending on your preference.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger loads, we carry out a short video or onsite survey to confirm the volume and any special requirements such as fragile items, restricted access or parking. This ensures we bring the right vehicle, team size and materials, and that the final quote is accurate before any commitment.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or use our packing service for additional convenience. When we arrive, we wrap furniture in transit blankets and, where needed, use protective covers for sofas, mattresses and delicate pieces. We label items carefully so they can be located easily in storage and returned in an organised way.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained team loads your belongings systematically, using trolleys, ramps and equipment to avoid damage to both items and property. Everything is secured inside the vehicle and transported directly to our Enfield storage facility, reducing handling wherever possible.

5. Storage, Unloading & Placement

On arrival, your belongings are unloaded into a dedicated container or allocated storage space. Items are stacked safely with heavier pieces at the bottom and fragile items on top or in separate areas. Your storage unit is then sealed or locked. When you are ready, we schedule redelivery, unload at your new address and place items in the rooms you choose.

Transparent Storage Pricing

Our pricing is based on three main elements: collection, storage, and redelivery. Collection and redelivery charges depend on the time required, number of porters and distance travelled. Storage is usually charged per container or per square foot, on a weekly or monthly basis.

We provide a written quote before any booking so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden admin fees, and we explain any additional costs in advance, such as extended access, specialist packing or unusually heavy items.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?

Using a professional storage and removals company like Enfield Movers means your belongings are handled, documented and protected correctly from start to finish. We use appropriate packing materials, correct lifting techniques and secure vehicles and facilities. A casual man-and-van may appear cheaper, but often lacks proper insurance, training and secure premises.

With us, you have one accountable company responsible for collection, storage and redelivery, reducing the risk of damage, loss or disputes. This is especially important for larger moves, valuable items, and long-term storage.

Insurance & Professional Standards

All our storage services are supported by appropriate cover and standards, including:

• Goods in transit insurance while your items are being moved between your property and our facility
• Public liability cover for work carried out at your home or business address
• Trained moving teams experienced in packing, lifting and stacking items safely
• Documented procedures for handling fragile, bulky and high-value items

We are committed to operating in a safe, responsible and fully compliant manner at all times.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat stored items as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are covered, and boxes are stacked to avoid crushing. We minimise handling to reduce the risk of accidental damage.

Where possible, we use reusable protective materials such as fabric blankets and durable crates. We recycle cardboard and minimise unnecessary journeys by planning routes efficiently. Our aim is to provide secure storage while keeping our environmental impact as low as is reasonably practical.

Real-World Uses for Our Enfield Storage

Moving House

If your sale and purchase dates do not align, storage can bridge the gap. We can move you out, hold your belongings securely, then deliver to your new home on the completion date. This removes pressure and avoids last‑minute panic if dates change.

Office Relocations

Businesses often need temporary storage when refurbishing offices, changing layouts, or waiting for new premises. We can phase collections and deliveries so your staff can keep working with minimal disruption, storing surplus furniture and equipment until it is needed.

Urgent or Same-Week Moves

Situations change quickly: emergency works, unexpected tenancy changes or family circumstances. Our flexible storage allows you to clear a property promptly and deal with the detail later. We do our best to accommodate short-notice bookings, particularly within Enfield and neighbouring areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with Enfield Movers cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on the volume of items, length of stay and access requirements. We charge a collection fee based on time, distance and team size, then a weekly or monthly storage fee calculated per container or per square foot. Redelivery is quoted separately so you can see each element clearly. For smaller loads, the cost is often more affordable than hiring a lock-up or self-storage unit once you factor in vehicle hire, fuel and your time. We provide a written, obligation-free quote before you decide.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage in Enfield?

Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage within Enfield and nearby areas. The more information you can give us when you call – such as property type, rough volume and access details – the quicker we can confirm a slot and team. While we cannot guarantee same-day every time, we prioritise urgent situations such as emergency repairs, sudden tenancy changes or time-sensitive moves. If same-day is not possible, we will offer the earliest realistic alternative and explain your options clearly.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your property and our facility. Once in storage, they are held in a secure, monitored environment. We can arrange storage insurance based on the total value of your goods, either through our own policy or by providing details for your home or business insurer. We will discuss cover levels with you during the quotation stage so you understand exactly what is and is not included, and can choose the level of protection that feels appropriate.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard service includes collection from your address, protective wrapping of furniture, secure loading, transport to our Enfield facility, and placement into a dedicated storage space. We also handle basic item labelling and inventory notes for each container or consignment. Redelivery from storage back to your chosen address is a separate but clearly priced service. Optional extras include full packing of boxes, specialist materials for fragile or high-value items, and additional access visits to your stored goods if needed. Everything is explained in writing before you book.

How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?

A casual man-and-van typically provides only transport, with limited or no storage, and may lack insurance, proper equipment or secure premises. Enfield Movers offers an integrated removals and storage service with trained staff, appropriate cover, documented procedures and a dedicated facility. We take responsibility for your belongings throughout their journey and while in our care. This reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes, and is especially important for full household moves, business equipment and long-term storage. In many cases, our service offers better value once you consider peace of mind and reduced personal effort.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For planned moves, we recommend booking storage at least one to three weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives us time to arrange surveys, organise materials and secure the space you need. However, we understand that not every situation is predictable, so we keep some flexibility for short-notice jobs. If your dates are uncertain, we can pencil in provisional arrangements and adjust them as your plans firm up. The sooner you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of dates and pricing.
