In Chester, Duffield Removals stores customers' furniture and boxes in secure, clean, dry and fully protected units in a converted barn inside our own workshop. We collect it from your home, wrap it, store it and bring it back when you are ready. It is removals storage, not a self-storage centre: there are no drive-up units and no public entrance, visits are by arrangement so one of us is there, and the address is given when you enquire. A unit holds about 1,200 cubic feet, roughly two Luton van loads, for £150 a month.
Who is removals storage in Chester for?
People moving in or around Chester whose dates do not line up: the sale completes on the Friday, the new house is not ready until the week after, and the furniture needs a home in between. It also suits furniture storage while a house is emptied for building work, or a family holding some of a parent's furniture after a clearance while they decide what to keep. Our guide to storage between completion dates walks through the first case.
How it runs
- You tell us what is going into storage, or send photos, when we quote for the move
- Our crew collects it, blanketed and wrapped the same way as for any move
- It is stored in a secure, clean and dry unit in the barn inside our Chester workshop
- When you need it, you ring us on 01244 794 244 and we arrange the delivery to your new address
What we cannot offer in Chester
We are straight about this because it matters when you choose. There is no 24-hour access and no unit you can drive up to on your own. If you need to get to your things every week, one of the self-storage centres in Chester is the better fit, and we can move you into one. If what you need is a house or a room's worth of furniture kept out of the way, wrapped, and brought back to your new door, that is what we do.
How much does storage in Chester cost?
A unit in the Chester barn holds about 1,200 cubic feet, roughly two Luton van loads, for £150 a month, with a one-month minimum and then month by month. The collection and the delivery back are priced in your quote with the move. Our Rhayader store in Mid Wales has containers at £130 a month and crates at £40 a month; for goods from Chester, the Chester barn is usually the better choice because it is close to both addresses.
