Yes, several removals companies in Bournemouth offer combined removal and storage services, including Astra Removals, which has provided secure short and long-term furniture storage alongside its removals service since 1986.
If you need someone to move your furniture and store it for a few weeks, you do not need to hire two separate companies. A number of Bournemouth removals firms offer combined move-and-store packages, where your belongings are loaded, transported, and placed directly into a storage facility by the same team. This avoids double-handling and reduces the risk of damage.
Astra Removals is a Bournemouth-based, family-run company that has offered this kind of combined service since 1986. We can collect your furniture on moving day and transfer it into secure storage, then redeliver it to your new address once you are ready. This is particularly useful if there is a gap between leaving your current home and being able to move into the next one, which is a common situation in the Dorset property market where completions do not always align neatly.
When choosing a company for this type of job, there are a few things worth checking:
Short-term storage of a few weeks is a straightforward request that most established Bournemouth removals companies can accommodate. If your situation is more complex, for example if you are in a chain and timings are uncertain, it is worth discussing a flexible arrangement upfront so you are not locked into a fixed end date and charged for overrunning.
To get an accurate quote, contact Astra Removals directly with the rough volume of furniture involved, your proposed move-out date, and your estimated storage duration. We can provide a written quotation covering both the removal and storage elements together.
How much does combined removal and storage cost in Bournemouth?
The cost depends on the volume of furniture, the distance involved in the move, and the length of time items are stored. There is no single fixed price. The most reliable way to get an accurate figure is to request a written quotation from a Bournemouth removals company such as Astra Removals, specifying your move date and estimated storage duration.
Is my furniture insured while it is in storage with a removals company?
Most reputable removals companies carry goods-in-storage insurance, but the level of cover and any exclusions vary. Always ask for written confirmation of what is covered before you agree to store your furniture, and check whether your own home contents policy provides any additional protection during a move.
What is the minimum storage period if I only need a few weeks?
This varies by company. Some charge in weekly increments, others in monthly blocks. If you only need two or three weeks, clarify the minimum billing period before booking so you know the true cost. Astra Removals can discuss flexible short-term arrangements to suit your situation.
Can a removals company store just some of my furniture, not everything?
Yes, partial storage is usually possible. You might, for example, move most items directly to your new address and store oversized pieces or items you do not need immediately. Discuss the specifics with your removals company when getting a quote so the right space and vehicle capacity are allocated.
