St John’s Wood Storage

No. Boxing up smaller belongings before we arrive helps, but nothing needs to be perfect. We bring the van, do the loading, and carry everything out for you. Furniture and larger items you can leave to us entirely. If you’re not sure where to start, just ask when you book.

Yes. You don’t need the whole lot back to get at one box or one piece of furniture. We complete an inventory when we collect, so you can request that box back, or that chest of drawers, or that mattress, and we’ll deliver it to your door in St John’s Wood. What comes back is whatever we collected, so we don’t open boxes up to pull a single item out of them. Packing into several smaller labelled boxes instead of a few big ones gives you more control over what comes home.

JamStorage is designed for customers who need storage for at least a few weeks. If you’re only after something very short-term, we might not be the right fit, but we’re always happy to talk it through. Give us a call and we’ll work out what suits you.

Yes. When you want your belongings back, we can return them to a different address from the one we collected from. That suits people who’ve moved in the meantime, or who are storing while a sale goes through. Just give us the new address when you arrange the return.

Pack into sturdy, uniform boxes wherever you can. Boxes of the same size stack neatly and take the weight of the ones above them, so you can build upwards and use the full height of your space rather than just the floor. Bags and holdalls do the opposite. They slump, lose their shape under anything heavy and won’t stack safely, so you end up with gaps and wasted room. Good boxes also keep what’s inside protected and easier to get to later. It’s worth using several smaller, labelled boxes rather than a few big ones, because when you ask for something back you’ll get the whole box. If you’d rather not pack yourself, we can bring materials on collection day and help you get sorted, and you only pay for what we use.

Yes, and in NW8 that’s the usual sort of collection for us. Porters, entry phones, service lifts, communal side entrances and private gated driveways are all familiar to our team here. What helps is knowing in advance. When you book, tell us the floor you’re on, whether there’s a porter or a concierge to sign in with, whether the lift needs booking, and whether anything bulky such as a sofa, a chest of drawers or a mattress is coming down. The carrying is our job, not yours.

Yes, and it’s one of the more common reasons people here get in touch. Postings rarely line up neatly at both ends, so belongings often need somewhere to sit between one home and the next. We collect from your door, keep everything in secure, sealed Jam Pods with an inventory taken at collection, and return it whenever you’re ready. If the address at the other end has changed by then, that’s fine, just tell us where it’s going.
