Need somewhere safe for furniture, boxes, or business stock while your plans catch up? When a move, renovation, or office changeover leaves you short on space, the right storage setup takes pressure off straight away.

Rich Removals & Sons arranges Storage Solutions across Kent for households and businesses that need room without the stress of juggling it all at once. We can help when completion dates shift, rooms need clearing, or you simply want clutter out of the way while keeping it ready for later.


Storage that fits real life

Storage is rarely about one neat reason. It is often a mix of timing, access, and the need to keep things organised until the next step is ready. We help make that gap manageable, whether you are moving home, changing office space, or handling a larger clear-out.

At Rich Removals & Sons, the approach is practical. We listen to what needs to go away, how long it needs to stay stored, and whether it must be easy to retrieve later. That keeps the process straightforward and avoids packing everything into a system that does not suit your move.

Common reasons people store items

  • Waiting for a moving date to settle
  • Keeping furniture safe during decorating or renovations
  • Clearing rooms for sale, rental, or handover
  • Storing office furniture and records during a move
  • Holding onto items that are staying, but not needed yet

Household storage

Home storage often starts with one room too many and not enough time to sort it all out. It might be a sofa that will not fit through the next door, boxes that need to stay packed, or a full home load while you wait on keys. We help keep those items together and ready for the next stage.

For families across Kent, storage is often part of a larger move rather than a separate job. That is where planning matters. Items that will be needed first should be packed and labelled differently from things that can stay put for longer. It saves time, reduces searching, and keeps the move calmer.

Useful home items for storage

  • Sofas, beds, wardrobes, and dining sets
  • Seasonal items and spare household goods
  • Boxes from lofts, garages, and spare rooms
  • Decorating items that are taking up floor space
  • Belongings that need to be held between addresses

Office and business storage

Business storage needs a different rhythm. Offices and workplaces often have furniture, files, stock, and equipment that cannot be left in the way while a space is being changed. We help organise storage so your business can keep moving without turning the workplace into a holding area.

If you are moving offices across Kent or planning a phased changeover, storage can bridge the gap neatly. Items can be separated by use, priority, or department so they are easier to bring back when needed. That matters when you need clear access later and not just somewhere to put everything.

What businesses often store

  • Desks, chairs, and office cabinets
  • Archived paperwork and boxed records
  • Display items and shop fixtures
  • Stock and packaged goods
  • Equipment that is not needed during a move

Packing for storage

Good storage starts before anything reaches the unit. Packing for storage is different from packing for a short car journey or a single-day move. Items may sit untouched for longer, so they need clear labelling, sensible grouping, and enough protection to keep them easy to find later.

Rich Removals & Sons can handle Packing Services alongside storage, which helps if you want one point of contact for the whole process. That is especially useful when you are busy, travelling between sites, or working to a tight moving schedule.

What good storage packing includes

  1. Clear labelling

    Each box should tell you what is inside without opening it all up later.

  2. Room grouping

    Keeping similar items together makes unloading and retrieval much easier.

  3. Protection for furniture

    Mattresses, tables, mirrors, and soft furnishings need careful wrapping before they are stored.

  4. Access planning

    Items needed sooner should not end up buried behind long-term boxes.


Short-term or longer stays

Some customers only need storage for a short stretch between moving out and moving back in. Others need a longer arrangement while renovating, simplifying a home, or reshaping a business setup. We can help you think through what needs to happen next so the storage plan matches the real situation.

The key is to avoid overcomplicating it. If you know which items will be needed first, which can stay packed, and which should be separated for easy access, storage becomes far easier to manage.

Good storage planning usually answers three questions:

  • What needs to go away now?
  • What might be needed again soon?
  • What can stay packed until the final move or handover?

Furniture and fragile items

Large furniture and delicate belongings deserve extra care before they are stored. A wardrobe, dining table, glass-fronted cabinet, or boxed ornaments all need different handling, and rushing that stage can make things awkward later. We treat items according to their shape, weight, and fragility so they are easier to keep organised.

If you are storing mixed contents, it helps to keep the most delicate items separate from the heaviest ones. That reduces the chance of crush damage and makes it easier to decide what should be unloaded first when storage is no longer needed.

Items that need careful preparation

  • Glass and mirrored furniture
  • Mattresses and soft furnishings
  • Artwork, ornaments, and framed items
  • Heavy furniture with removable parts
  • Boxes containing mixed breakables

How we help

Storage can be arranged as part of a wider removals job or as a stand-alone need when you already know what has to move. Rich Removals & Sons works across Kent and nationally, so whether you are storing items for a local house move or keeping business equipment aside for a larger relocation, we can help shape the plan around your schedule.

The process is kept simple. We talk through what you need stored, how much needs handling, and whether the move to storage should happen alongside a home, office, or furniture removal. That lets us organise the work without turning it into several separate jobs.

Typical storage journey:

  1. Discuss the load

    Tell us what needs storing, how soon it needs moving, and what type of access you may need later.

  2. Prepare the items

    We help with packing, wrapping, and separating belongings so they are ready for storage.

  3. Move and place

    Your items are taken into storage and organised to suit the way you will use them later.

  4. Retrieve when ready

    When the time comes, the stored items can be brought back into your move or next premises.

Common questions

What types of items can be stored?

Storage is commonly used for furniture, boxes, household contents, office items, archived paperwork, and other belongings that need to stay out of the way for a period of time.

Can storage be arranged with a house move?

Yes. Storage often works best when it is linked to a house move, especially if completion dates do not line up or rooms need to be cleared before moving day.

Is storage useful during office changes?

It is. Businesses often use storage for desks, chairs, files, stock, and equipment while an office is being moved or reorganised.

Can you help with packing before storage?

Yes. Packing Services can be arranged alongside storage so items are labelled, wrapped, and grouped sensibly before they are put away.

Do you cover areas beyond Ashford?

Yes. We work across Kent, including Canterbury, Folkestone, Maidstone, Dover, Hythe, Tenterden, Faversham, Tunbridge Wells, and more.
