Storage Services

Alltime Removals has run on-site storage from our Houghton Regis depot since 2002. Individually alarmed units available by the cubic foot, with 24-hour access seven days a week and no fixed contract length. Bridging storage between completion dates, longer arrangements while a new property is prepared, or business storage during a phased office move. Our Simple Storage Solutions fit around your timeline rather than the other way around.

Storage for Home and Business Moves

Our storage is used by both home movers and businesses relocating or decluttering between offices. For domestic removals, the most common reason customers call is a gap between moving out and moving in. Solicitors’ chains slip, completion dates shift, and having a secure unit to bridge that gap removes the pressure from both sides of the transaction. Business removals and office removals use our storage for a different set of reasons: phased moves, short-term archiving during a site refurbishment, or holding furniture and equipment while a new fit-out completes. The same individually alarmed units, the same 24-hour access, the same pricing by cubic foot. Because Alltime Removals handles the full removal and the storage under one roof, your belongings travel once from your property into our depot rather than being moved by one company and stored by another. Our advisers build the storage element into the same survey-led quote as the move itself. See our full services page for everything we cover.

Short-Term Storage

Short-term storage at our Dunstable depot is available from a single week upward. Customers who need a temporary home for their furniture, boxes, or business equipment while a move completes typically take a unit for two to eight weeks.

What short-term storage covers:

  • Bridging storage between exchange and completion
  • Holding furniture while decorating or flooring is laid at the new property
  • Temporary overflow for businesses clearing space ahead of a move
  • Seasonal item storage when the move date shifts

Units are priced by cubic foot, so you pay for the space you actually use. Our advisers measure your volume at the same survey visit used for the removal, so there are no surprises when you arrive.

What Our Storage Does Not Cover

Being clear about what falls outside the service saves problems later:

Vehicle storage — we do not store cars, motorcycles, or other vehicles at the depot.

Hazardous materials — flammable liquids, pressurised canisters, and similar items cannot be stored under our standard rental terms.

Man-and-van or self-drop — our model is survey-led. We collect and deliver. Customers cannot drive up unannounced and fill a unit without a prior booking and inventory.

Building-site clearance — rubbish clearance and certified disposal is a separate service. Ask an adviser if you need both at the same time.

If you are unsure whether your items fall inside or outside these categories, call and ask. We will give you a straight answer.

Long-Term Storage

Furniture is the highest-risk category for storage damage, and we pack it accordingly. Sofas, beds, wardrobes, dining tables, and other large items travel wrapped in our Defenda Guard protective covers — the same covers used on move day — before going into the unit.

Bed frames and flat-pack items are dismantled by our team if needed before storage and reassembled when you collect or when we deliver back to your property. For customers who want a full pack-and-store service, we can also box up the contents of each room to a labelled, room-by-room plan so unpacking at the end is straightforward. See our packing services page for the full options.

Business Storage

Office moves rarely run to a single clean handover date. Equipment arrives before the fit-out finishes, files need somewhere secure while IT infrastructure is moved, and a phased relocation often means one floor is operational while another is still being cleared. Our business storage handles that middle period.

What we store for commercial customers:

  • Office furniture: desks, chairs, filing cabinets, reception units
  • IT equipment and server racks (fragile-handled and alarmed)
  • Archive boxes and files
  • Retail stock and display equipment
  • Building-trade materials and specialist tools

For commercial moves, an estimator visits the site, notes access for loading vehicles, and builds the storage element into the same written quote as the relocation. We cover office removals across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and north-west London.

How Our Storage Works

  1. Survey visit. An adviser comes to your property, measures your volume, and notes any items needing dismantling or special handling. Storage is quoted at the same time as the move.
  2. Move day. Our crew loads your belongings from your property, transports them to the Houghton Regis depot, and places them in your allocated unit. Furniture is wrapped and protected throughout.
  3. Your unit is yours. Each unit has its own individual alarm. You have 24-hour, seven-day access throughout your rental period.
  4. Collection or redelivery. When you are ready, either collect directly from the depot or ask us to redeliver to your new address. We reassemble any furniture dismantled at the start.
  5. Clear pricing, no lock-in. Rental is priced by cubic foot on a short or long-term basis. No hidden fees, no minimum notice period beyond the agreed term.

Areas We Serve

Our storage depot is based in Houghton Regis, Dunstable, and we collect from and redeliver to customers across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and north-west London. We regularly handle storage for home and business customers in DunstableLeighton BuzzardLutonMilton KeynesAylesburyHemel HempsteadWatford and St Albans, as well as national and international relocations where UK-based storage is needed during the transition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Storage is priced by cubic foot rather than by a fixed room count or unit size tier. Our advisers measure your volume at the survey visit and give you a written figure as part of the overall move quote. Because the price reflects your actual space rather than an estimated category, you avoid paying for capacity you are not using.

Yes. The depot at Houghton Regis, Dunstable is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Each unit has its own individual alarm, and you can visit at any time during your rental period without booking in advance.

Rental runs short or long term with no fixed minimum or maximum period. Some customers store for a week between completion dates; others keep a unit for six months or more while an overseas move or building project resolves. There is no penalty for finishing early once the agreed notice is given.

Our standard model is survey-led removals and storage handled together, but if you have a specific situation, a partial clear, items you want moved into storage without a full house move, speak to an adviser. Nothing is a problem for us, and we will tell you honestly if it falls inside what we can do.

Yes. Items going into storage are wrapped in our Defenda Guard protective covers before they are placed in the unit. Large items of furniture are either left fully assembled or dismantled and wrapped flat, depending on what takes up less space and causes less risk. The unit itself is individually alarmed throughout your rental.

Ask About Storage

Book a storage survey or call the team to talk through your dates and volume. Our advisers will take a full inventory, confirm the unit size you need, and give you clear pricing for both the removal and the storage as a single written quote. You can also read more about our packing services or domestic removals if you are planning a full move.
