House move storage Dunstable: what happens when your completion date slips
Completion delays are one of the most common reasons Dunstable customers need storage on moving day. When a chain holds and your buyer is ready but your new property is not, the van is loaded and the furniture needs somewhere to go. Our alarmed units at Nimbus Park are a few minutes from most Dunstable addresses. The crew loads, drives to the depot, places your belongings into a dedicated alarmed unit, and you keep the key. Nothing goes into shared space, and access is available around the clock.
For a short delay of a few days or a week, your belongings are held under continuous alarm while you resolve the chain. Longer gaps of weeks or months are covered the same way. Storage is charged on the volume your goods occupy, with no fixed minimum term, short or long.
How the alarmed storage units at Nimbus Park work
Our Houghton Regis site holds storage units of varying sizes, each individually alarmed and accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You are given a key and a unit number. There are no shared corridors with other customers’ goods stacked in front of yours.
Pricing is by cubic foot rather than a fixed unit size, so you pay for the space your belongings actually take up rather than for the smallest box that happens to fit. Your adviser works out that volume at the free home survey by going through your inventory room by room, and you receive the figure in your written quote before you commit.
On insurance, we carry goods-in-transit and public liability cover. Your adviser confirms the specifics for your job at the survey stage. You can read more about our storage on our storage page.
What makes a Dunstable house move cost more or less
No two Dunstable moves price the same. The main variables are volume, access, distance, and whether storage is needed.
Volume is the primary driver. A one-bedroom flat and a four-bedroom detached on the Downs need different crew sizes and vehicles. Our advisers take a room-by-room inventory so the quote reflects what is actually there, not an estimate based on bedroom count.
Access adds cost when it adds time. The older terrace streets near the Priory and West Street often need a parking suspension from Central Bedfordshire Council, furniture dismantling at the door, and extra carry distance from a van that cannot park outside. Grove Park and the newer estates with driveways are generally quicker to load.
Distance matters when the destination is London, the Midlands or further. Moves staying within the Dunstable, Houghton Regis and Luton corridor are usually shorter days than a national relocation.
Storage adds a volume-based charge on top of the removal. The adviser prices both elements at the same visit, so you receive one written quote covering the full job. We do not publish fixed prices because every job is different, and we do not claim to be the cheapest. The free home survey is the only way to give you a number that is accurate for your property.
Our Services
How a house move and storage job works with Alltime Removals
Free home survey. An adviser visits your Dunstable address, walks every room, measures access and takes a detailed inventory, including anything going into storage.
Written quote. You receive a fixed, itemised price covering the removal and the storage volume before you commit. Or start online with our quote form.
Move day. The crew arrives with protective covers and a room-by-room packing plan. Goods going into storage are segregated and labelled at the load stage.
Storage drop. Goods are driven to Nimbus Park and placed into your dedicated alarmed unit, and you receive the key.
Delivery to your new address. When you are ready, we collect from the unit and deliver to your new property, with beds assembled and the kettle accessible before we leave, if that is what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you handle the move and storage together as one job in Dunstable?
Yes. A combined house move and storage Dunstable job is quoted in one operation at the free home survey. Your adviser prices the removal and the storage volume together and gives you a single written quote covering both. You do not need to arrange a separate storage supplier or make a second booking.
How is the storage priced?
Storage at our Nimbus Park depot is priced by cubic foot. Your adviser works out the volume from your room-by-room inventory, so you pay for the space your belongings actually occupy. There is no fixed minimum term: short stays of a few days and longer arrangements of several months are both available.
What happens if my Dunstable completion is delayed on moving day?
If your completion has not gone through by mid-morning, the crew loads the van as planned and drives to our Nimbus Park depot rather than the new address. Your goods go into your dedicated alarmed unit and you keep the key. When completion is confirmed, we arrange delivery. Call the team on the day and we work around the chain in real time.
Are the storage units alarmed and accessible at night?
Yes. Every unit at Nimbus Park is individually alarmed, and access is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You hold the key to your own unit, and there is no shared access arrangement with other customers’ goods.
What parking arrangements do you make for Dunstable town-centre moves?
For streets near the Priory, West Street and High Street North where on-street parking is restricted, our advisers recommend arranging a parking suspension with Central Bedfordshire Council a few working days before the move. This gives the van a legal loading bay outside the property and avoids losing time to repositioning. Your adviser will flag this at the survey if your address needs it.
What does a house move in Dunstable actually cost?
We do not publish a fixed price, because every job differs on volume, access and distance, and we do not claim to be the cheapest. The free home survey is the only accurate way to quote. Your adviser visits, takes a room-by-room inventory, notes the access conditions, and gives you a written price before you commit.
Do you cover Dunstable moves to London or the Midlands?
Yes. National relocations are handled from our Houghton Regis depot. Moves heading south to London usually load early to clear the A5 and M1 J11 peak window. Your adviser will suggest a start time based on your route.
What accreditations does Alltime Removals hold?
Alltime Removals is MoveAssured approved, an AIM (Association of Independent Movers) member and RHA (Road Haulage Association) accredited. These accreditations require companies to meet independently assessed standards for insurance, training and complaints handling.
