Moving home and need storage too?

Not every move happens in one simple step. There may be a gap between moving out and moving in, building work to complete, furniture to store while you declutter, or decisions to make after downsizing.

Our moving and storage services are built for that in-between stage. Whether you need short-term or long-term storage, professional packing, support with a full house move or somewhere secure for selected belongings, Wilkins can shape the service around your move rather than asking you to coordinate separate removals and storage providers.

Removals with short and long-term storage

Our Reading warehouse facility offers flexible short and long-term storage for household furniture, personal belongings and selected items as part of your wider removals and storage plan.

  • Short-term storage for gaps between moving dates or delayed completions
  • Secure storage while renovating, redecorating or preparing a property for sale
  • Long-term storage for overseas moves, downsizing or belongings you are not ready to move on
  • Storage for a full household or selected furniture, boxes and personal items

During your survey, our team can confirm what needs to be stored, how long storage may be required, and what vehicle, crew, packing and storage space will be needed before moving day.

Secure storage for your belongings

Our Reading warehouse provides secure short and long-term storage for household furniture, personal belongings and selected items as part of your wider removals and storage plan.

From careful handling and inventory management to trained crews, insurance and reliable redelivery, we will help keep your belongings protected and accounted for while they are in storage.

When house removals and storage can help

Storage is often needed when a move does not follow a simple door-to-door timeline. Whether you are waiting on keys, renovating, downsizing or clearing space before a sale, Wilkins can help decide what moves now, what can wait and what should be stored safely until you are ready.

Chain delays

Chain delays

If your sale has completed but your new home is not ready, we can collect your belongings, store them securely and deliver them when you are ready. Ideal if completion dates shift, keys are delayed or your onward purchase is still progressing.

Downsizing

Downsizing

Moving to a smaller home often means deciding what fits now and what can wait. Storage gives you time to sort furniture, family items and belongings without rushing decisions before moving day.

Renovation work

Renovation work

Keep furniture, artwork and personal belongings safe while building, decorating or refurbishment work is completed. We can collect items before work starts, store them securely and return them once your home is ready. Learn more in our guide to storage during home renovation.

Probate moves

Probate moves

When managing a property during probate, decisions are not always straightforward. Our removals and storage service gives families time and space to clear, protect and review belongings at the right pace.

Decluttering before sale

Decluttering before sale

Storing excess furniture, boxes and personal belongings can help your property feel clearer and more spacious for photography, viewings and sale, while keeping everything safe until your move is complete.

Temporary relocation

Temporary relocation

If you need to move out before moving back in, or you are relocating for work, travel or a short-term rental, we can store your belongings securely and redeliver them when required.

FLEXIBLE CONTACT METHODS

Every move and storage requirement is different. A Wilkins Sales Manager can visit your home or arrange a video survey to understand what needs moving, what needs storing, access requirements, timings and any fragile or specialist items. We will then provide a tailored removals and storage quotation.

Professional removals, storage and redelivery

Wilkins Removals can support every stage of your removals and storage plan, from survey and scheduling through to packing, loading, storage and redelivery.

Before moving day, our team will confirm what is being delivered straight away, what is going into storage, and whether any packing, fragile-item handling or furniture dismantling is needed. This helps the crew arrive with the right vehicle, equipment and plan for the day.

Because your removals and storage are managed by one company, there are fewer handovers and less need to brief separate suppliers. When your new home is ready, we can arrange delivery from storage at a time that works for you, helping to keep the whole moving and storage process smooth and well managed.

Testimonials

Very professional staff who were extremely efficient and courteous. Flexible with changes to where furniture needed to go. Packing was done to a very high standard. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Moving from London to Oxfordshire

September 2020

Wilkins moved our 2 bed house including full packing service – excellent service, really nice removal men.

Domestic move in Reading

January 2020

The two removal men were first class. They arrived early the day before the move to load 90% of our possessions. They then arrived even earlier on move day to finish off the loading. We then drove to pick up the keys and when we arrived at our new property the removal van was already here. We had big issues with the state of the house but the guys were very professional and unloaded the lorry very efficiently. Very pleased with the service provided and nothing was too much trouble for them.

Moving from Reading to Somerset

July 2020

Wilkins ensured that our move was as stress free as possible. The most challenging aspect was the removal and installation of a large and heavy wine storage unit which was done efficiently and with determination!

The team was wonderful! Everyone involved was efficient, proficient and professional. Communication was excellent- all enquires were responded to in a swift manner and everyone was unfailingly helpful. We had a last minute hitch which meant that we couldn’t take all our shed and garden furniture and ‘stuff’ to the new home and Wilkins agreed to take one load to another storage place without issue or complaint. I cannot praise them enough and would recommend them to anyone.
