Moving & storage in Surrey

One crew for the move and the storage

Local Movers Ltd has been doing moving and storage in Surrey for over 6 years. We’ve handled hundreds of local moves, and a lot of them needed a place to park the furniture for a bit. That’s where storage comes in.

Here’s the part that matters. The same crew that loads your home also handles the storage. Your stuff gets wrapped and loaded once, stored, then delivered. No handing it off to strangers, no double-handling, no extra wear.

We work 7 days a week with our own crews, no subcontractors. Pricing is time-based, billed on the actual hours worked and broken down up front. We’re also one of the largest delivery partners for IKEA, Cozey and Samsung, so big, careful loads are normal for us.

What we offer

How moving and storage works in Surrey

Short-term storage between moves

Sold your place but the new one closes in three weeks? That gap is the most common reason people call us. We load you out of your old home, hold everything in secure storage, then bring it to your new spot when the keys are yours. Whether you’re moving across Newton or into a tower in Surrey City Centre, we time the delivery to your move-in day.

Long-term and furniture storage

Sometimes the timeline stretches out. A reno runs long, you’re between cities, or you’re holding furniture you’re not ready to part with. We do long-term and furniture storage too, with secure, temporary or moving-related storage tied right to your move. Your inventory stays tracked, and we pull it out and deliver when you’re set.

Moving bins and supplies

Packing is half the battle. We rent moving bins so you’re not chasing cardboard boxes that fall apart in the rain. Stackable, sturdy, reusable. They make the load-out faster and your stuff safer in storage. Ask about bin rental when you book and we’ll bring them when we come.

Pricing

What affects your moving and storage cost in Surrey

Here’s how the money works, because storage moves are where surprise bills usually hide. Our pricing is time-based. You’re billed on the actual hours the crew works, in 30-minute increments after the minimum charge. Before we load a box, you get the breakdown up front: the hourly rate, the crew size, and the hours we expect the job to take.

No two storage moves take the same hours. A one-bedroom apartment with a booked elevator loads faster than a four-bedroom house with three flights of stairs. So when you call, we ask about the five things below. Answer them straight and your estimate lands right beside the real time sheet.

Storage adds one more question: how long your stuff sits with us. A three-week gap between closings is a different job than eight months of furniture storage. Tell us the timeline and it shows up on the same up-front breakdown as the moving hours. One number, no fine print.

  • Home size and crew size. A one-bedroom apartment usually runs a two or three-person crew. A full house runs four. More movers cost more per hour but finish hours sooner, so the bigger crew often wins on the total.
  • Access at both ends. An elevator you’ve reserved beats three flights of stairs every time. A truck at the door beats a 100-metre walk through a condo loading bay. Access swings the clock more than anything else.
  • Packing readiness. Sealed, labelled boxes load fast. Loose items and open boxes slow the whole crew down. Our rental bins stack tight in the truck and in storage, which trims real minutes off every carry.
  • Disassembly and reassembly. Bed frames, wardrobes and flat-pack pieces take time to break down and rebuild. We deliver for IKEA, so we’re quick at it, but it still runs on the clock. Do it ahead and keep those hours.
  • Time in storage. A two-week hold between closings is one thing. Half a year of furniture storage is another. Your timeline sets the storage side of the quote, and it can stretch later if plans change.

Storage in the middle or a straight local move across Surrey, the breakdown works the same way. Call (778) 242-2877 and walk us through your place. Ten minutes on the phone gets you the hours, the crew and the storage plan before you commit to anything.

Tips from the crew

10 moving and storage tips from 6 years of Surrey moves

Six years of loading Surrey homes in and out of storage teaches you exactly where move days go sideways. These ten tips come straight from our crews. Use them and your move runs shorter, and on time-based pricing, shorter means cheaper.

  • 1. Book two to three weeks out. Month-end and weekend dates fill first, every single month. Mid-week and mid-month slots are easier to grab and calmer to work, for you and for the crew.
  • 2. Reserve the elevator the day you book us. Most Surrey condo towers need the service elevator booked through the building manager or strata. Ask for a window of two to three hours at each end. A crew waiting on an elevator is billed time spent standing still.
  • 3. Declutter before storage, not after. Everything you store gets loaded, stored and delivered twice over. That’s paying to handle stuff you may not keep. Sort one room per evening the week before, or hand the boxing to our Surrey packing crew.
  • 4. Keep the small valuables with you. Passports, keys, medications, jewelry and hard drives ride in your car, not the truck. Once the storage door closes, you don’t want to need something that’s sitting behind it.
  • 5. Pack a first-night box. Kettle, chargers, bedding, toiletries and two changes of clothes. It travels with you, so your first night in the new place doesn’t hang on which box surfaces first.
  • 6. Label bins on two sides, by room. Thirty seconds with a marker on each bin saves the crew a full hour at delivery. On our rental bins, stick tape on first so the bin wipes clean for the next family.
  • 7. Photograph your cables before unplugging. TV, router, soundbar, one phone photo per setup. We handle Samsung deliveries every week, and the original box with its foam corners is still the safest ride a flat screen can get.
  • 8. Empty any dresser headed into storage. Full drawers add weight and stress the frame while it sits for weeks. On a quick local move we can sometimes work around it. For storage, empty is the rule.
  • 9. Defrost the fridge 24 hours ahead. Unplug it the day before, prop the door open, towel in the base. A damp fridge sealed in storage grows mould inside a week. A dry one comes back smelling like nothing at all.
  • 10. Measure the big pieces at both ends. Sofa, king mattress, desk. Check the tightest doorway, stairwell or elevator at the old place and the new one. Finding the tight corner on paper beats finding it with a couch wedged in a stairwell.

Moving & Storage FAQ

Questions we get about moving & storage

Do you offer both short-term and long-term storage in Surrey?

Yes. We do short-term storage for the gap between move-out and move-in, and long-term storage when your timeline runs longer. Same secure space either way, and we deliver when you’re ready.

Does the same crew handle the move and the storage?

Yes. The crew that loads your home stores it and brings it back. That means your stuff is handled once and isn’t passed between different companies, so there’s less risk of damage.

How much does moving and storage cost?

Our moving and storage is time-based. You’re billed on the actual hours worked, and we break the cost down for you up front before we start. No surprises at the end.

What if my new place isn’t ready on moving day?

That’s exactly what storage is for. We move you out, hold everything in secure storage, then deliver to your new Surrey place the day it’s ready. You set the timeline.

Do you rent moving bins?

Yes. We rent sturdy, stackable moving bins so you skip the flimsy cardboard. They speed up the load and protect your stuff while it’s in storage. Just ask when you book.

Is my furniture safe in storage?

Yes. We offer secure, furniture and moving-related storage, and your inventory stays tracked so you always know what’s there. We wrap and protect items before they go in.

Do you handle storage for businesses too?

Yes. We do moving and storage for both homes and offices in Surrey. If you’re relocating a business or holding inventory and equipment between locations, we can store it and deliver when you’re ready.

How far ahead should I book moving and storage in Surrey?

Two to three weeks is the sweet spot. Month-end and weekend dates go first, so mid-week gives you the most choice. If you’re in a condo tower, reserve the service elevator with your building as soon as you book us.

What can’t go into storage?

Food, plants, propane tanks and anything flammable stay out. Keep passports, medications, jewelry and hard drives with you too. Everything else gets wrapped, tracked and stored until you’re ready to take it back.
