Storage services in Nairobi: wrapped sofas on pallets and labelled boxes on shelves

Life does not always line up neatly with moving dates. The old lease ends on the 30th, but the new house is ready on the 15th of next month. A job abroad starts in two weeks, yet you plan to come back in a year. A shop closes for renovation while the stock still needs a safe home.

In each of those cases, good storage services in Nairobi fill the gap. This page explains how our storage works, what it costs and how to prepare your things so they come back in the same condition.

How our storage services in Nairobi work

We run a full-service store, not a self-storage unit. In other words, we collect, store and deliver your things, so you never have to hire a truck or carry anything yourself.

  1. Survey and quote. First, we list what you want to store and estimate the space needed.
  2. Collection. Next, our crew wraps furniture, packs loose items and loads the truck at your home or office.
  3. Inventory. At the store, every item gets a number, a short description and a photo. You receive the list by email or WhatsApp.
  4. Storage. Furniture sits on pallets, off the floor. Boxes go on shelves, grouped by customer.
  5. Access. If you need something before delivery, tell us the item number and we will bring it out for collection or delivery.
  6. Delivery. Finally, when you are ready, we deliver to your new address and set the furniture up.

Furniture stays on pallets and boxes stay on shelves, so nothing sits on the floor.

Storage

What we store

Most of our storage customers are households between moves. However, we also store for businesses, landlords and people working abroad.

  • Household furniture. Sofas, beds, wardrobes, dining sets, fridges and washing machines.
  • Boxes. Clothes, kitchen items, books, toys and personal belongings.
  • Documents. Archive boxes from offices, clinics and NGOs, sealed and numbered.
  • Business stock. Boxed goods, display units and shop fittings during renovations.
  • Office furniture. Desks, chairs and cabinets between offices or during a fit-out.

Storage

Items we cannot store

For safety and legal reasons, some items cannot go into storage. These include petrol, gas cylinders, paint, chemicals, food that can spoil, live plants, animals, cash, firearms and anything illegal. We check for these during packing and tell you if anything must stay out.

Protection

How we protect stored items

A store is only useful if things come out in the same condition they went in. So we focus on four risks: damp, dust, pests and theft.

  • Damp. Furniture sits on pallets, never on the floor, and boxes stay on raised shelves.
  • Dust. Sofas and mattresses are wrapped in blankets and stretch film or plastic covers.
  • Pests. The store is cleaned regularly, and food is never allowed inside.
  • Theft. Access is controlled, and only named staff can enter storage areas.

Also, we record the condition of valuable items with photos before they enter the store, so both sides have a clear record.

Short-term storage between moves

The most common need is short-term storage of one to eight weeks. For example, a family hands back the keys on the last day of the month, but their new home is still being painted. In that case, we pack and collect everything on moving day, store it, and deliver when the new home is ready.

Because everything is packed and wrapped once, the delivery day is quick. This also costs less than paying rent on two homes at once. Our house movers handle both the collection and the delivery.

Long-term furniture storage in Nairobi

Some customers store for six months or more. Typical examples include a contract abroad, a long stay with family or a house being built. For long stays, we take extra care with wrapping and give you a full photo inventory. You can then request single items, such as a box of documents, while the rest stays in storage.

If you are leaving the country, you can pay for storage in advance or by monthly transfer. Furthermore, a trusted relative can collect items on your behalf if you give us their name and ID number in writing.

Storage for businesses

Businesses use our storage services in Nairobi during office moves, fit-outs and renovations. We also store archives that must be kept for several years but are rarely needed. The Kenya Revenue Authority, for instance, expects businesses to keep tax records for a set number of years; you can check the current rules on the KRA website. Sealed, numbered archive boxes make that easy.

For shops and warehouses, we store stock and fittings between premises. See our shop and warehouse moves for how we plan those jobs.

How storage in Nairobi is priced

We price storage by the space your things take up, plus collection and delivery. The monthly price is agreed after we see what you are storing and for how long.

Collection and delivery are priced like a normal move. For long stays paid in advance, we can offer a lower monthly rate. See our moving cost guide for collection costs.

Storage

Preparing your things for storage

A little preparation keeps your things in good shape. So before collection day:

  • Clean and dry fridges, freezers and washing machines, and leave the doors slightly open.
  • Wash and dry clothes and bedding before packing, to avoid mould.
  • Remove batteries from toys and devices.
  • Keep important documents and valuables with you.
  • Make a list of items you may need before delivery, so we can store them near the front.

Getting items out of storage

You do not need to take everything out at once. If you need a single box or item, send us its number from your inventory. We will bring it to the front for collection, or deliver it with a small vehicle. When you are ready for everything, we schedule a full delivery and set the furniture up at your new home.

Storage for people moving abroad or upcountry

Many people store furniture in Nairobi while they work abroad or move upcountry for a contract. In that situation, storage services in Nairobi are often cheaper than shipping everything twice. You keep the items you love, and you avoid buying new furniture when you return.

Before you leave, we agree a payment plan, a contact person and a simple way to request items. While you are away, we can also send a photo update of your stored items every few months, so you know everything is still in good order.

Storage during renovations and repairs

Renovations, painting and floor repairs are much easier in an empty house. So some families move their furniture into storage for a few weeks while builders work. Once the work is finished, we bring everything back and set it up, often with a quick clean first. Landlords also use this service between tenants, when a unit needs repairs before the next tenant moves in.

Why choose our storage services in Nairobi

Many storage options in Nairobi are simply empty rooms. You still need to hire a truck, carry everything and keep your own records. With us, one team packs, moves, records and stores your things, then brings them back. As a result, you have one contact, one inventory and one bill. Our household storage in Nairobi also includes photos of valuable items, so you always know their condition.

Costs and pricing

How we agree the price of storage services in Nairobi

Every quote for storage services in Nairobi is prepared after we have assessed the job. For example, stairs, heavy items, packing and distance all change the work involved. Therefore we look first, quote second and agree the price with you third. Moreover, if you want to reduce the cost, we suggest practical options, such as packing some boxes yourself or choosing a quieter date. In short, you stay in control of the scope and the cost.

Frequently asked questions

How much does storage cost in Nairobi?

It depends on the size of the move, the distance, access such as stairs and lifts, and any packing or special items. We assess the job by survey or video call, then agree the final price with you in a written quote.

Our minimum period is usually one week. Most customers store for one to eight weeks between moves, while some store for a year or more.
