What our London customers have to say

Absolutely Great

Needed furniture removed and stored for a week while I had an event in London. I live in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, and did a google search for help. I reached out to three separate companies for help, but Removals and Storage Experts was the only company that I felt comfortable using. Keval and the rest of the team were amazing to work with. The movers did a great job making sure everything was wrapped so not to get damaged during the transportation and storage period. When the event was over they brought everything back, and placed the furniture in its original spot. I couldn’t be happier with Removals and Storage Experts. If you have any concerns with who to use to move your belongings look no further, I believe they are the best in town.

Good Job!

Great experience, my building company were due to start work in 4 days an my clients were leaving for holiday in 3 days, and they said they did not have time to clear their property before going away as our contract required they do, so they asked if I could organise it for them. I contacted Removals and storage experts, I expleined the situation, and they were very helpful, and provided all the info I needed and gave a completitive quote swiftly. My clients agreed to the cost the removals and storage experts team arrived on the day we started the job abd carefully boxed up and removed everything in line with the instructions they’d received, and we were able to get on tiyh the word We would highly recommend their service.

FAQs

Absolutely! When you rent a crate for moving through us they will stack on top of each other in our removals van to optimise space and transport your belongings safely. Our crates are perfect for moving and are designed with space optimisation in mind. When you rent plastic containers for moving, you can choose from computer crates and other specialist solutions.
Our plastic moving crates are weatherproof, so they should protect your items while you’re moving them from your old office into your new premises. However, we wouldn’t recommend leaving your boxes and crates outside for longer than necessary. Damp can quickly escalate to mould, after all!
There’s no minimum order: you can rent as many moving crates as you need, from large storage crates for moving houses, to commercial office crates. In other words, whether you’re moving home with a few personal items – or moving office with lots of furniture and equipment – we can provide you with a great service.

If your move is taking a little longer than expected, just call us and you can extend the plastic crate rental period for a few more days.

5 tips for hiring crates

1

Sell or donate unwanted items

Moving to a new office is a great time to take stock of what you do and don’t need. You could get a cash boost by selling office furniture or equipment you don’t need. Alternatively, you can donate it to charity. Whatever you decide, it’ll mean you won’t have to hire as many boxes and crates come moving day.

2

Choose stackable moving crates

When hiring crates, choose nestable or stackable moving crates which are ideal for moving. These will fit into each other when they’re empty and can be stacks on top of each other when packed with items. Stackable storage solutions will save you space in the van and you might not have to make as many trips.

3

Choose lidded crates

You shouldn’t leave your cardboard boxes open, and you should seal your plastic ones too. Lidded crates will help protect your items from dust and dirt. They’ll also help prevent any damage to your items caused by bumps in the road while they’re being transported from A to B.

4

Don’t leave them outside

Your boxes and crates should be okay outside for a short time while they’re being moved into the removal van. However, most boxes and crates, even lidded plastic ones, aren’t completely waterproof so you should avoid leaving them outside for long in case it rains.

After all, UK weather isn’t the most predictable!

5

Rent crates for moving

Instead of buying new boxes and crates – which can take a big chunk out of your moving budget – choose a moving crate rental. Renting something is often more eco-friendly than buying it, especially if it’ll only be used once. We’re one of the most affordable moving crate rentals around.

When you’re finished with your crates and boxes we’ll pick them up from your new address.
