Preparing household belongings for longer storage

Long storage raises different questions from a short transport journey. Consider material-care guidance together with the facility's conditions.

Preparing household belongings for longer storage

Before you start

State the intended duration and possible extensions. Review wood, textiles and electronics as separate preparation groups.

Practical steps

  • Prepare items clean and dry according to their care requirements.
  • Check for remaining liquids or consumable contents.
  • Confirm environmental conditions, packaging methods and interim access with the storage provider.

Checks on arrival

When planning release, share the delivery address and assembly needs again. Do not assume details provided months earlier remain current.

What to include in your quote request

For a storage enquiry, share the inventory, expected duration, access needs and later delivery address. Confirm which intake, storage, partial-release and delivery services are included in writing. Reconfirm the arrangements if the storage period changes.
