Long term-storage

Making storage easy

Many of our customers find they need to put household effects into store for a long period. You could have a legacy to store or may be working abroad for several years and need the flexibility of a long term storage service.

Why choose Pickfords for long-term storage?

Professional packing

If you need your goods to be wrapped or packed into cartons, or furniture to be protected prior to long term storage, Pickfords will provide a trained moving team to pack and protect your goods.

Convenient collection

Pickfords arrive at your home and pack your possessions into secure wooden storage containers. This means you do not have to transport the goods yourself, saving you time, the cost of a hire van, and hard lifting heavy furniture.

Accurate records of your storage consignment

If you are placing goods into long term storage, you may not be accessing them for some years. Pickfords will create an inventory of all goods going into store, so you have an accurate record of the goods in our care.

Sealed at residence

For security purposes, your storage container will be sealed at your residence wherever possible, and will not be opened until you are ready for delivery.

Convenient delivery service

When you are ready, Pickfords will deliver your consignment to its new location at a mutually convenient time.

Easy monthly payments

You can choose to pay monthly by cheque or direct debit. 

Storage insurance for your peace of mind

If you are moving and want to arrange for certain items to go into storage, we offer additional fire insurance to cover your goods while in store. 

Transit insurance will cover your goods from when they come out of storage to the final delivery.

If you elect not to purchase transit insurance, you can acquire fire insurance for your goods while in store.
