Removals and Storage

What Removals and Storage does

Removals and Storage is a privately held, London-based local service business operating in the residential and commercial moving and storage sector. The company is headquartered at 8 Smoke House Yard, EC1M 4DF, and employs approximately 47 people, delivering services within the Andstorage area and surrounding London neighborhoods. Its customer base is split between residential households (homeowners, tenants, families, and students) and commercial clients (offices, retail units, small businesses, warehouses, and professional practices), with a secondary segment serving landlords and property managers needing clearance and end-of-tenancy services.

The company's service portfolio is organized into modular offerings spanning van-based services (Man and Van, Removal Van), truck-based services (Moving Truck, Removal Truck Hire), full-service household and office moves, dedicated commercial relocations, and secure storage solutions. Pricing is quote-based, with each job priced on property size, item volume, distance, access conditions, and service scope. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer, driven primarily by organic local SEO through 25+ service-specific landing pages, supplemented by phone contact and website quote requests. The technology stack is conventional: a marketing website with click-to-call, a Stripe payment processing integration supporting cards and PayPal, and standard email/telephone booking workflows. There is no proprietary software platform, no mobile app, and no disclosed AI or automation capabilities.

Emerging players

• TaskRabbit: Online marketplace for on-demand local services including moving help, furniture assembly, and heavy lifting. Comparable as an alternative channel customers use to source small-scale moving and labor-only services that compete with man-and-van offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Britannia Movers: Network of UK removal companies offering domestic and international moving, packing, and storage. Comparable in offering the full suite of removal + storage services Removals and Storage provides, but with national/international reach rather than a single-city focus.
• Pickfords: Established UK national removal company offering home and office moving, packing, and storage services nationwide. Comparable as a direct provider of the same end-to-end moving + storage proposition Removals and Storage offers, but operating at national rather than local scale.
• Big Yellow Self Storage: UK's largest self-storage brand offering secure storage units alongside recommended removal partners. Comparable in the storage revenue stream, though as a self-storage specialist rather than a full removal+storage operator.
• Shurgard Self Storage: Pan-European self-storage operator with UK locations including London. Comparable in the storage offering that Removals and Storage sells alongside its moving services, though as a storage pure-play rather than integrated provider.

Direct peers

• Bishop's Move: UK removal company providing home and office moving, packing, and secure storage services across multiple regions. Directly comparable service portfolio and target customer base to Removals and Storage.
• Fantastic Services: London-based home services platform offering removals, man-and-van, packing, and storage among broader home services. Directly comparable in targeting London residential and small business customers for moving and storage needs.
• AnyVan: UK-based online platform connecting customers with man-and-van and small-move providers for home, office, and furniture transport. Directly comparable in the man-with-van, single-item, and small-move customer segment Removals and Storage serves.

Others

• Reallymoving: UK comparison platform for home movers including removal companies, conveyancers, and surveyors. Comparable as an aggregator that channels customers searching for removals toward competing providers rather than direct-booking local operators.
• Compare My Move: UK price comparison platform for removal companies. Comparable as a customer acquisition channel that diverts search traffic away from individual removal companies like Removals and Storage toward multiple competing providers.
