Storage in Nottingham

To make sure that your stuff is perfectly safe ‐ and out of concern for the backs of the collection and delivery team ‐ your boxes must not exceed 25kg, which is the same weight as the checked baggage allowance for most major airlines.

If you’ve heavier or larger items we may still be able to help. Select the appropriate item type in “Other Items” and where necessary include a description of the item including its weight and size.

We won’t dismantle your furniture, so we recommend that you do that prior to your collection. However, we will pack and wrap your furniture securely to prepare it for transit and storage.

Our dedicated team can collect stuff that can fit through your doors, and that be safely carried by two people, from any room in your home.

If you order before 11am, you can order your collection for Monday to Saturday, 3 working days from the booking date. If you also need packing and order before 11am, you can order 4 working days from the booking date. The collection is expected to begin at 9am but a member of our customer team will be in touch to confirm the date and time once you have booked.

No problem, don’t worry just take your best guess when you book your collection. We will check and confirm once we’ve collected your stuff. If you end up storing more, we’ll simply update your price accordingly and let you know.

Yes, you can store pretty much anything with us. What we’re able to store depends on where we’re collecting from which is why we ask you to input your collection postcode at the beginning of the order process. You can see a list of the few things we can’t store here.

Where possible you’ll need to pack your stuff into a box. That goes for bags, suitcases and bikes. We sell specialist boxes for this stuff that you can order from us. Furniture doesn’t need to be in a box (that would be silly!) but we do need you to help us by wrapping it appropriately for transport. See here for further details.

If you’ve got furniture or any other stuff that doesn’t fit into a box, you can always check out our storage units. We’ll be able to accommodate your request should you need more space. Just click here.
