How to prepare your items for storage

Storage is a pause, not a skip

Storage covers the gap between two homes. It is not the place for food, fuel, paint, damp rugs or a fridge full of leftovers. If you are unsure, ask before collection day. We would rather refuse an item at the door than store something that leaks.

Furniture

• Empty drawers, or tell us you want clothes left in them.
• Take apart beds if you can, or ask us to. Keep the fittings in a labelled bag taped to the frame.
• Clean and dry garden tools. Mud and moisture do not store well.
• Wrap nothing in a way you cannot label. Our crew will wrap furniture for the journey. Your job is to make it empty and dry.
• Photograph anything valuable and keep a list that matches the labels.

Boxes

Fill them. A half-empty box collapses under the next one. Use small boxes for books. Write the room and a short contents line on the side. If you want us to pack, book packing before the collection, not on the morning.

Dates

Tell us how long you expect to store, and tell us when the new key moves. A house in Haworth and a new build in Steeton often have a gap. The collection still needs parking and stairs, like any other move.
