Moving house whilst juggling storage needs? Trying to coordinate multiple companies for your house move? There’s a better way – one that saves time, money, and significantly reduces the stress of an already complicated process.
At Happy2Move, we’ve designed our domestic storage and removals services to work seamlessly together, because we understand that modern house moves rarely follow the simple “out of one home, straight into another” pattern.
Why Moving and Storage Often Go Hand in Hand
The Reality of Modern House Moves
Property chains delay: Your ideal completion date rarely aligns perfectly with when you need to vacate your current home.
Renovation overlaps: Buying a property that needs work means you can’t move everything in immediately.
Downsizing decisions: Moving to a smaller space requires time to decide what fits your new lifestyle.
International relocations: UK storage becomes essential when overseas moves have extended timelines.
Rental transitions: London’s competitive rental market often creates gaps between tenancies.
In our experience with West London moves, at least 60% of our clients need some form of storage solution alongside their removals service. The question isn’t whether you’ll need storage – it’s whether you’ll coordinate it efficiently.
The Single-Company Advantage: Why It Changes Everything
Seamless Coordination
One timeline: Your removal and storage schedules are coordinated by the same team, eliminating confusion about who’s responsible for what and when.
Consistent handling: Your belongings are handled by the same professional team throughout the entire process, reducing damage risk from multiple handovers.
Single point of contact: No more playing phone tag between different companies when plans change or questions arise.
Integrated logistics: Our West London routes and scheduling efficiencies benefit both your removal and storage needs.
Real Cost Savings
When you combine removals and storage west london services with Happy2Move, you save money in ways that aren’t immediately obvious:
No double handling charges: Items going to storage don’t need separate collection – they’re sorted and allocated during your main removal.
Reduced transport costs: One journey handles both destinations rather than multiple separate trips.
Package pricing: Combined services cost significantly less than booking removal and storage separately.
No coordination fees: Many companies charge extra when coordinating with third-party storage providers.

Real Scenarios: How Integration Saves the Day
The Chain Delay Solution
The situation: Sarah’s house sale completed on schedule, but her purchase was delayed by 3 weeks due to legal complications.
The old way: Hire removals company, find separate storage, coordinate two different schedules, pay for double handling.
The Happy2Move way: Single collection from her Ealing home, immediate delivery of essentials to temporary accommodation, secure storage of everything else, coordinated delivery to her new Chiswick home when ready.
Result: £200 saved on coordination costs, zero stress about logistics, seamless transition.
The Renovation Overlap
The situation: The Johnson family bought a house in Richmond requiring 6 weeks of renovation before they could move in properly.
The old way: Store everything, live without belongings during renovation, coordinate delivery once work completed.
The Happy2Move way: Immediate delivery of essentials and furniture for liveable spaces, secure storage of items that would be damaged by building work, phased delivery as rooms were completed.
Result: Family could live in their new home throughout renovation, belongings protected from building dust and damage, flexible delivery as work progressed.
The Downsizing Transition
The situation: Elderly couple moving from 4-bedroom Putney house to 2-bedroom Richmond flat, unsure what would fit.
The old way: Make difficult decisions under time pressure, risk taking too much or leaving behind cherished items.
The Happy2Move way: Everything moved out on schedule, essentials delivered to new flat, remainder stored whilst they settled and decided what else they needed.
Result: Stress-free downsizing, time to make thoughtful decisions, gradual transition to smaller space.
The Cost Reality: Integration vs. Separate Services
Separate Companies Approach
Removal company: £800 for collection and delivery Storage company: £60/month storage + £150 collection + £150 delivery Coordination time: Your time managing two separate services Risk factors: Potential issues from poor communication between companies Total for 3 months: £1,280 + significant time investment + stress
Happy2Move Integrated Approach
Combined service: £950 for removal + 3 months storage + delivery Coordination: Handled entirely by our team Risk factors: Minimal – single company accountability Total for 3 months: £950 + minimal time requirement + peace of mind
Savings: £330 plus enormous reduction in complexity and stress.
