When you move with Britannia, you can be sure that your home and its contents are in safe hands.

If your new home is not ready or your plans are undecided you may need to place your belongings in storage. For as long as you need, Britannia will take care of your belongings for you as if they were our own.

Britannia companies have some of the finest storage facilities anywhere in the country. Our bright, modern warehouses use a containerised storage system to minimise handling and keep your goods clean, dry and secure.

We will collect your belongings from your home and load them into specially designed storage containers. On arrival at one of our purpose-built warehouses, the containers are handled mechanically into their storage space. Safely in position, they are not touched again until you need your belongings to be delivered.


Can I store everything?

Most Britannia warehouses have special facilities to handle any items that cannot be stored in containers. Carpets, ladders, motorcycles, cars and caravans all receive individual attention and care.

Unfortunately, no plants, food or animals should be sent for storage. We are also unable to store precious items such as jewellery, deeds or money for you; nor can we store hazardous goods such as paint, aerosols or gas bottles.

If you are in any doubt, our expert staff will be able to advise you on items which are unsuitable for storage.

Do I need to prepare anything for storage?

If you are placing your refrigerator of freezer into storage, you should defrost them about one week beforehand. Make sure your washing machine or spin dryer is clean and dry. Some electrical appliances require special preparation before being moved so you should seek expert advice in plenty of time.

Everything that goes into storage needs to be clean and dry, so you should start to prepare any outdoor or garden items for storage well in advance of removal day.
