Place your items in a secure storage space in 4 steps
How much space will you need
Studio flat – minimum 1 container (40 sq ft or approximately an average garden shed)
1-bedroom property – 2 containers (80 sqft or approximately a home shopping delivery van)
Small 2-bedroom property – 3 Containers (120 sqft or approximately a small single garage)
Large 2-bedroom or small 3-bedroom property – 4 Containers (160 sqft or approximately a large single garage)
Large 3-bedroom property and above – 5 containers and beyond (approximately 200+ sqft)
If you need to store items and furniture from a studio property, then a single container (about the size of an average garden shed) should do it. It is spacious enough to fit medium-size furniture, sofas, wardrobes, kitchen appliances, mattresses and boxes. A single container has the capacity to fit 35 standard boxes. Usually, this type of move is done with a single Transit van.
Based on our experience, two containers should be enough to store all furniture, items and boxes. Again, this move is done with a single Transit van.
Usually, 3 containers will suffice to fit all the belongings from such a property. Keep in mind a 4th container might be necessary if, for example, the house has a lot of outdoor furniture and amenities. This type of move is done with a Luton van.
For properties of such size, we recommend 4 containers and possibly a 5th depending on the bulkiness of your furniture and household appliances. This type of move is usually done with one Luton and one Transit van.

What our storage solutions in London include
At Fantastic Services, we believe that everyone should experience a stress-free move, regardless if you’re a tenant or a big company. For bigger jobs, we might arrange a video survey over the phone. This will limit the chance of errors and it will make the quote more accurate. Then we will dispatch a removals team that will collect and move your items to a secure, climate-controlled warehouse.
Your belongings will be stored in clean and secure wooden crates. Each is approximately 40 square feet or the size of an average garden shed. A member of the warehouse team will ensure your items are carefully placed in the storage facility. Our storage company spaces are equipped with CCTV surveillance systems.
This measure is to monitor your belongings at all times and provide peace of mind to you. The removals experts can then deliver your equipment, furniture, or other items to your address upon request.
*Note: While booking a Storage service with us, our sales agent will ask you about the estimated value of the items you would like to store. This is entirely in regard to insurance.
Who can benefit from our storage service?
We offer short-term and long-term storage services in London to help people in all walks of life. Keep in mind that you are being charged on a weekly basis. Meaning that even if you leave on Wednesday, for instance, you are still going to be charged for that whole week.
