Storage Services

bySTORED provide long and short-term storage for a wide range of items. They have storage units ranging from 12sqft to more than 150sqft inside secure London warehouses. They provide an alternative storage solution to self-storage, collecting and returning belongings rather than making customers store their things themselves. They also cite savings of at least 30% compared to competing self-storage companies in London, with even bigger savings for long-term storage.

A team of two removal experts will come to collect the items for storage and transport them to the secure warehouse, free petrol included. Items will be stored safely with £500 standard liability included in the cost. Customers can access an online inventory of their stored items, too.

Customers pay for bySTORED’s storage services per month that the storage is used, with prices determined by the size of the storage unit being rented. Many extras are included in the price of their storage, including free collections, provision of storage crates for packing, and basic insurance coverage over the items being stored. Optional services are also available, such as packing and unpacking, disassembling and reassembling furniture, and recycling or disposing of items.

Removals Services

Although not their primary remit, bySTORED also offer removals services for anyone moving house within London or out of the city. They provide their van and a team of movers for £79 per hour, with packing and unpacking services available at an additional cost. They will also provide packing crates and materials for the move.

Locations Served

bySTORED primarily serve Greater London, collecting from and delivering to any London postcode. They will also perform removals services and storage returns to anywhere in the UK and even internationally when required.
