How to Store Items in Self-Storage
Lay out your things in self-storage so you can reach them and keep them safe. Self-storage works best when you put like things together, so you can get things out without shifting heavy boxes. Label each box clearly, and mark the key boxes so you can find them fast. Do not cram the space. Stack boxes neatly and leave room for air to move around each one.
If you can, leave a path between the stacks. This gives you room to move around and get what you need without taking every stack apart. Elite Moving is happy to help and give you practical tips on how to lay out your things, so using self-storage is simple and easy for you.
Packing and laying out your things with care gives you a sense of order. It lets you store things for as long as you like without stress. Elite Moving’s way of doing self-storage is all about keeping it simple and easy, so your things are quick to find when you need them.

How to Label and List Smaller Items in Storage
Small items are the easiest things to lose track of in storage. A good label on each box saves time later. Write the room the box came from and a short list of what is inside. Put the label on the side as well as the top, so you can still read it when boxes are stacked.
Keep a simple list of every box on your phone or on paper. Give each box a number and note what it holds. When you need something, you just look at your list and go to the right box. This is much quicker than opening box after box in a cold unit.
Use a colour or a mark for boxes you may need soon, such as winter clothes or tax papers. Place these near the front of the unit. Things you will not need for a long time, like spare plates or old toys, can go at the back.
Choosing Boxes and Wrapping for Special Items
Small, strong boxes work best for small and special items. Large boxes filled with little things get heavy and can crush what is at the bottom. Pick boxes that close well and do not bend when you press the sides. Old supermarket boxes are often too weak for storage.
Use bubble wrap for glass, china and ornaments, and soft paper for things that may scratch. Fill gaps with scrunched paper so nothing rattles. If you can hear things move when you lift the box, add more padding before you seal it.
For pictures, mirrors and frames, use flat boxes or wrap them in thick card and stand them on their edge, never flat. If you are unsure, our packing service can do this for you with the right materials.
Getting Your Special Items Back Out of Storage
When you are ready, we can bring your things to your new home, or you can collect smaller items yourself. Tell us early if you need only a few boxes, so we can plan the right van and team for the job.
If you are moving abroad, we can take your things from storage and send them on as part of your move. You can find out more on our storage page, or call us on 07428474474 to talk through your plans.
Storing Small and Special Items: Your Questions Answered
How should I pack small items like jewellery, ornaments or keepsakes for storage?
Wrap each piece on its own in soft paper or bubble wrap. Put small items in small, strong boxes so they cannot shift. Fill any gaps with paper. Keep like things together and write a clear list of what is in each box. For things of high value, think about keeping them with you instead.
Can I store photos, papers and books without them getting damp?
Yes, if you pack them well. Use strong, clean boxes and keep papers flat in folders. Do not overfill boxes of books, as they get very heavy. Raise boxes off the floor and leave a little space around them for air. Photos last longer in sealed sleeves or albums, kept away from heavy items.
Can Elite Moving pack my fragile items before they go into storage?
Yes. Our team can pack just your fragile items, or your whole home, using good boxes, bubble wrap and paper. We label every box so you know what is inside. We then take everything into storage near our Wallington base and stack it with care, keeping delicate boxes on top.
How do I get special items back out of storage without damage?
Call us and tell us which items or boxes you need, and we will plan the delivery. We handle special pieces with the same care on the way out as on the way in. Once they arrive, unpack them in a clear, quiet space and check each one against your list. Let wooden items, instruments and art settle to room warmth for a while before you use or hang them.

It was altogether a very good experience .All the team were extremely generous and collaborative, and took great care facilitating and delivering my Belongings to the continent.
Thank you Lara and Scott and Brad!
Great service and competitive pricing! Lara from Elite Moving was great, she was very responsive and made sure my move to London from Europe went smoothly!
We’ve recently used Elite for our move to France. I’d happily recommend their services. Both Scott and Jake were really helpful in packing our things up and were friendly and professional. The company kept us informed and also advised us on what we needed to do, and they also got back to me quickly if I had any queries. All in all, everything went smoothly and our things arrived safely in France. I wouldn’t hesitate in using them again.
I recently used the company to ship my belongings from England to Switzerland. I was really happy with the service as they were able to match the price by a competitor, but offer a more flexible service. Everything went smooth with the move - they took care of most of the paperwork for me and delivered within the agreed timeframe
Highly recommended.
Ranjan and team kindly fit me in last min for an urgent job. They were very pleasent and efficient, and made sure I was happy with their work at each stage.
Would definitely use them again.
Although care was taken in the initial packing of items, I highly recommend that you take out your own insurance for fragile and valuable items as this company accept zero responsibility for any damage occurring in transit.
I do not recommend this service.
