Storage Services in Abu Dhabi
Clean, monitored, pest-controlled furniture storage in Abu Dhabi. Everything wrapped, palletised and inventoried with photographs, held for as long as you need, with collection and redelivery arranged around your dates.
When Your Dates Do Not Line Up
Tenancy dates in Abu Dhabi rarely cooperate. Your current lease ends on the twenty-eighth and the new property is handed over on the tenth of the following month. The villa you are moving into is still being painted. You are travelling for six weeks between contracts. Your office fit-out has slipped and there is nowhere to put forty desks.
Without storage, the usual solutions are all bad ones. Paying for an overlapping month on a property you cannot use. Stacking a household into a relative's spare room. Booking two separate moves at short notice and paying twice. Our storage services in Abu Dhabi exist to remove that problem entirely: we collect on your original date, hold everything properly, and deliver when you are actually ready.
The word "properly" is the important part. There is a real difference between a professional storage facility and a locked container in a yard. Furniture left unwrapped on a concrete floor in a hot, unventilated space for three months does not come back the way it went in. Upholstery absorbs damp and smell, wood joints move, and anything at floor level is exposed to pests.
Storage pricing depends on volume and duration. Tell us roughly what you need to store and for how long, and we will give you a clear monthly figure with the collection and redelivery costs shown separately. 055 962 1160
How Your Belongings Are Stored
Everything below is standard, not an upgrade you have to ask for.
Wrapped & Palletised
Every item is blanket-wrapped and film-sealed before it enters the warehouse, then stored on pallets and racking rather than directly on the floor.
Full Photo Inventory
Each item and carton is numbered, listed and photographed on intake. You receive the inventory, so you know precisely what is in storage and can request specific items.
Monitored & Secured
CCTV coverage, controlled access and staff on site. Your belongings are stored in a working commercial facility, not an unattended yard.
Pest Controlled
The warehouse is on a scheduled pest control programme and kept clean and dry. This is the single biggest risk to stored soft furnishings in this climate.
Flexible Terms
From two weeks to two years. Extend or end whenever your plans change — you are not locked into a long minimum period you no longer need.
Collection & Redelivery
The same crew that packs your home stores it and delivers it back. One company, one inventory, one point of accountability throughout.
What People Store With Us
Storage is rarely a plan. It is almost always a solution to a timing problem that appeared unexpectedly. These are the situations we see most.
| Situation | Typical Duration | What It Solves |
|---|---|---|
| Gap between tenancies | 1 – 8 weeks | Avoids paying an overlapping month of rent on two properties |
| New property not ready | 2 – 12 weeks | Move out on your date regardless of handover or fit-out delays |
| Home renovation | 1 – 6 months | Protects furniture from dust, paint and contractor damage |
| Travelling or on assignment | 3 – 24 months | Far cheaper than keeping an empty apartment on lease |
| Downsizing | Ongoing | Keeps items you are not ready to sell but cannot fit in the new home |
| Office fit-out delay | 2 – 10 weeks | Holds desks, chairs and equipment until the new premises are ready |
| Seasonal or surplus stock | Ongoing | Business storage for stock, displays and archived files |
What We Can and Cannot Store
We store household and commercial goods of almost every kind: furniture, mattresses, appliances, boxed personal effects, sports and gym equipment, bicycles, luggage, office desks, chairs, cabinets, archived files and retail stock.
There are things we cannot accept, and every legitimate storage facility has the same list:
- Perishable food, opened or unsealed items that can attract pests
- Flammable or explosive materials — petrol, gas cylinders, solvents, fireworks
- Hazardous chemicals, paint thinners and pesticides
- Firearms, ammunition and anything illegal to possess in the UAE
- Live plants and animals
- Cash, jewellery, passports and irreplaceable documents — these should stay with you or go in a bank safety deposit box
How to Prepare Items for Storage
- Empty and clean appliances thoroughly. A fridge with residue inside will develop mould and smell within weeks in this climate.
- Wash and fully dry textiles. Curtains, cushions and bedding should be clean and completely dry before wrapping.
- Photograph electronics before disconnecting. It makes reconnection at the other end far simpler months later.
- Keep a list of what matters. Note anything you might want to retrieve early so we can position it for access rather than burying it at the back.
- Store mattresses in covers. We supply protective mattress bags as standard — never store a mattress unwrapped.
Ask for a retrieval note. If you know you will need a specific box or item before the storage period ends, tell us at intake. We will store it near the front and pull it out for you without unpacking a whole pallet.
How Storage Pricing Works
Storage is priced on volume and duration. Volume is measured in cubic metres or by the number of pallets your goods occupy, which we calculate at the survey or from your inventory. Duration is charged monthly, and longer commitments generally attract a lower monthly rate.
Collection and redelivery are quoted separately from the monthly storage rate, so you can see exactly what each part costs. If storage forms part of a move we are already handling, the collection is usually built into the move itself and only the redelivery is a separate line. We will always show you the full picture — monthly rate, collection, redelivery — before you commit to anything.

Our Storage Process
Assess Volume
We survey or review your inventory to calculate the space you need, then quote a clear monthly rate with collection and redelivery shown separately.
Pack & Collect
Our crew wraps everything properly, dismantles furniture where needed, and loads it. Nothing enters the warehouse unwrapped.
Inventory & Store
Each item is numbered, listed and photographed on intake, then palletised and racked. You receive the full inventory for your records.
Redeliver
Give us a few days' notice and we deliver everything to your new address, reassemble the furniture and place it room by room.
Storage Questions
What is the minimum storage period?
We work from two weeks upwards. Most customers bridging a tenancy gap store for four to eight weeks. There is no long minimum commitment, and you can extend month to month if your plans change.
Can I access my belongings while they are in storage?
Yes, with advance notice so we can position your pallets for access. If you know in advance that you will need a particular item, tell us at intake and we will store it accessibly rather than at the back.
Is the warehouse air conditioned?
The facility is covered, ventilated, clean and dry, with pest control on a scheduled programme. For items that genuinely require climate control — fine art, certain antiques, musical instruments — tell us in advance and we will discuss the right arrangement for them.
Are stored items insured?
Storage cover is arranged based on the declared value of your inventory, which is why the photo inventory at intake matters. We will explain exactly what is covered and what is excluded before you sign anything.
How much notice do you need for redelivery?
A few days is usually enough for a standard household. For larger volumes or if you need a specific date at the end of a month, give us a week or two so we can reserve the crew and vehicle properly.
Do you store office furniture and business stock?
Yes. Desks, chairs, cabinets, archived files, retail displays and stock are all held regularly, commonly during office fit-out delays or for companies needing seasonal overflow space.
