Our service suits offices, retailers and other businesses needing to store desks, chairs, shelving, reception furniture and display units. Useful during office moves, reconfigurations, seasonal campaigns, or while you trial hybrid working layouts.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of what you need to store, where from and for how long. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on volume, access, distance and duration of storage. We are always happy to talk through options, including different levels of service and any budget constraints.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger jobs or full properties, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit around Oakleigh Park. The survey allows us to confirm items, assess access (stairs, lifts, parking) and identify any special care pieces such as antiques or delicate items. This means no hidden surprises on the day and an accurate quotation.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, our trained team arrives with all necessary materials. We can offer:
- Full packing – we carefully pack smaller items into boxes, dismantle furniture where appropriate and wrap items for storage.
- Part packing – you pack smaller items, and we focus on furniture protection.
- Self-prepared – you prepare items and we handle loading and storage only.
All furniture for storage is wrapped in protective blankets or specialist materials and secured for transport.
4. Loading & Transport
We load your furniture safely onto our vehicles, using proper lifting techniques, trolleys and ramps. Items are securely strapped to minimise movement in transit. Your goods are then transported directly to our storage facility, under the protection of our goods in transit insurance.
5. Storage, Unloading & Return
At the facility, your items are unloaded into a clean, dry, secure storage area. Each consignment is labelled and recorded so we can easily locate and return your goods when you need them back. When you are ready, we schedule delivery to your new or existing address, unload and place furniture in the rooms you specify.
Transparent Furniture Storage Pricing
Our pricing is straightforward, with no hidden extras. Costs are typically made up of:
- Collection and delivery charge – based on time, distance and access
- Storage – usually charged weekly or monthly, based on space used
- Optional packing services and materials
- Any additional labour for dismantling or reassembly
We will always provide a clear written quotation so you know exactly what is included. Longer-term storage and larger volumes can often benefit from discounted rates; we will advise where this applies.
Why Choose Professional Furniture Storage Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Using a professional service like Storage Oakleigh Park gives you:
- Correct handling of heavy and bulky items, reducing the risk of injury
- Appropriate wrapping and protection, minimising damage and wear
- Purpose-built vehicles with securing points and equipment
- Secure, managed storage rather than improvised garages or sheds
- Clear paperwork, inventory options and insurance-backed cover
Casual man-and-van services often lack professional training, adequate insurance and proper storage facilities. Doing it yourself can seem cheaper, but once you account for van hire, fuel, materials, time off work and potential damage, a professional service is often the more cost-effective and less stressful option.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are handled under strict standards. We provide:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your furniture while it is being moved between locations.
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property during collection and delivery.
- Trained moving teams – staff are experienced in safe handling, wrapping and loading techniques.
We follow recognised industry practices for inventory, labelling and storage, giving you clear documentation and peace of mind. We are happy to explain any aspect of our cover in plain language.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your furniture with care at every stage. Sofas and mattresses are wrapped to keep them clean; wooden furniture is protected against scuffs and knocks; glass and mirrors are wrapped and clearly marked. In storage, items are kept in a dry, secure environment.
Where possible, we use reusable blankets and durable materials to reduce waste, and we minimise unnecessary journeys by careful route planning. If you decide not to keep certain items, we can advise on responsible recycling or donation options in the Oakleigh Park area.
Real-World Uses for Our Furniture Storage
Moving House
If your sale and purchase timings do not line up, we can store your furniture between moves. We collect from your current property, store everything securely, then deliver to your new address on the agreed date, making the transition far less stressful.
Office Relocations
Businesses moving in or out of Oakleigh Park often need temporary storage for office furniture while fit-out works are completed or IT systems are installed. We can phase collections and deliveries so your staff can keep working with minimal downtime.
Urgent or Short-Notice Storage
Occasionally, circumstances change quickly – a sale completes faster than expected, a landlord ends a tenancy or building works are brought forward. Subject to availability, we can arrange short-notice or urgent furniture storage, including same-day or next-day collections in and around Oakleigh Park.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture storage in Oakleigh Park cost?
Costs depend mainly on three factors: the amount of furniture, how easy access is at your property, and how long you need storage for. We charge a collection and delivery fee based on the time and distance involved, plus a weekly or monthly storage rate linked to the volume your items occupy. Optional services such as packing, dismantling or reassembly are clearly itemised. Once we have your details, we provide a written quote so you know exactly what you will pay, with no surprise add-ons later.
Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture storage?
Where our schedule allows, we can often provide same-day or next-day collection for urgent storage needs in Oakleigh Park and nearby areas. This is particularly common when moves change at short notice or landlords need properties cleared quickly. Availability depends on how many teams and vehicles we have free, so it is always best to call as early in the day as possible. We will give you honest advice on what we can do and offer the nearest suitable time if same-day is not realistic.
Are my items insured while in storage and during transport?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved between your property and our storage facility, and by our storage cover while it is with us. We also carry public liability insurance for work at your premises. Insurance is subject to terms and limits, which we are happy to explain in full. For unusually high-value items, we may recommend additional cover or a valuation so that everything is properly protected.
What is included in your furniture storage service?
As standard, we provide a professional collection, protective wrapping for furniture, secure loading, transport to our facility, and storage in a clean, dry, alarmed environment. When you are ready, we then arrange delivery to your chosen address and place items in the rooms you specify. Optional extras include full or part packing of smaller items, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and inventory services. All inclusions are clearly listed in your quotation so you know exactly what to expect.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A man-and-van service often only covers transport and may not have adequate insurance, trained staff or secure storage. We provide a complete, professional service: proper wrapping and protection, skilled handling of heavy and awkward items, insurance-backed cover, and secure managed storage rather than ad-hoc lock-ups. We also carry out surveys where needed, offer clear paperwork and maintain reliable communication throughout. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes, and generally makes the whole experience considerably smoother.
How far in advance should I book furniture storage?
To secure your preferred date and time, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or school holidays. That said, we understand that plans can change suddenly, so we always try to accommodate short-notice bookings where capacity allows. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we have to plan your collection, arrange any surveys and make sure everything runs efficiently on the day.
