Storing Goods
There are many reasons why you might need to store furniture and effects: between moving houses, during a temporary job-posting, while renovations or repairs to your house are carried out, or simply due to lack of space in your home. Whatever the reason, if you need to store some of your household goods for a few days, weeks, or indefinitely, you can rely on Nelsons to help you out.

How Does it Work?
It's very simple. We will collect the items for store from your home. If required, we will pack all the small items into boxes and wrap larger items to stop them getting dusty or damaged. All of the packages are then loaded into purpose-built, wooden storage containers, which will be sealed before the vehicle leaves.
When the vehicle arrives at the store, the containers are unloaded and stacked carefully in the warehouse. They will stay there, untouched, until you want your goods back. The system involves the minimum of handling, so everything stays safe.

Security
Nobody needs to have access to your things at any time during -storage. The boxes are stacked up to five high and very close together, making it impossible for unauthorised people to open them. Our Warehouses are secure and alarmed.

Access
You can access your things whilst in store, but wherever possible you should let us which items you wish to retrieve before collection. This way the foreman can pack them in a separate container and label it accordingly. This will help to keep the cost of occasional access as low as possible (see Charges).

Preparation (recommendations)
Please label or identify all items for storage clearly. It's your job to make sure that nothing is left out or included inadvertently. Make sure that 'white goods' (freezers, fridges, washers, etc.) are turned off a few days early and thoroughly dried out - they will cause mildew if packed wet. Ensure that everything is clean and dry, particularly things normally used outside (bikes, garden tools, etc.). Work out the value for insurance (see Insurance).

DO NOT store precious items, such as jewellery, money, deeds or other important documents
We cannot not accept hazardous goods like paint, aerosols, gas bottles or weapons.

Charges
Storage charges are charged in advance and are subject to VAT Your mover will charge you for packing, collecting and placing your goods into store. There will be an extra removal charge when the goods are delivered to your new home. We will also charge if you need access to your stored goods. 

Payment
Storage charges are calculated on volume to be stored, and like most rental agreements, usually charged in advance.
