Secure Storage Solutions in Carlisle: your questions answered

How do I get my furniture into your storage facility?

We handle the entire process. Our team arrives at your property, loads your items into our Luton vans using protective blankets, and transports them directly to our secure unit. You don't need to worry about heavy lifting or driving a rental van.

Is your storage safe from damp and weather?

Yes. We use clean, dry storage units specifically designed to protect household goods. This is essential for wooden furniture, soft furnishings, and electronics, especially given the wet weather we often see in Carlisle and South West Scotland.

What happens if my house move is delayed on the day?

This is a common issue with property chains. If your keys aren't released or the legal completion fails to happen by 12:00 noon, we can hold your goods on our vehicles or move them straight into our insured storage. This keeps your move moving even when the paperwork doesn't.

Do you offer storage for moves to Dumfries or Lockerbie?

We certainly do. We specialise in cross-border removals and storage. If you are moving from Cumbria to South West Scotland and your new home isn't ready, we can store your items in Carlisle and deliver them to Annan, Dumfries, or Lockerbie as soon as you get the keys.

Can I store just a few items or a whole house?

We cater to all sizes of moves. Whether you need student storage for a few boxes or a large unit for a five-bedroom family home, we can accommodate your needs. We also provide furniture dismantling and reassembly to make sure large items fit safely.

Are my items insured while they are with you?

Yes, RM Removals provides full goods-in-transit and storage insurance. From the moment we pick up your sofa in Penrith to the moment we drop it off at your new place, your belongings are covered.

Do you provide packing materials?

We can provide a full packing service where we bring all the boxes, tape, and bubble wrap, or we can simply supply the materials if you prefer to pack yourself. We also offer fragile-only packing for delicate items like glassware and china.

Household and Furniture Storage for Move Delays

We simplify the storage process by managing the transition from your home directly to our facility. Rather than requiring you to hire a self-storage unit and transport items yourself, our team handles the heavy lifting, professional packing, and methodical inventorying of your belongings into our secure containers. We use breathable furniture blankets and protective wrapping as standard to ensure your household furniture, white goods, and fragile items remain in excellent condition throughout the duration of your stay.

After a very stressful house sale and it falling through midway, it was eventually moving day, I hired RM Removals and was the best thing I ever done!! Very professional, they took all the stress away, even took extra and put it into storage for me! The boys at RM Removals are great lads, so polite, professional and upbeat, smiling and making me laugh which is exactly what I needed as everyone knows moving house is the most stressful thing but with RM Removals and the boys it was far from it!! Thank you so much Ryan and the boys for making my moving day happy and exciting 🤩❤️ 100% recommend this company ☺️

Ryan and the lads were absolutely brilliant from start to finish! They turned up on time, worked efficiently, and were incredibly helpful throughout the whole move. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled with care and nothing was damaged. The whole process was smooth and stress-free thanks to their professionalism and hard work. I couldn’t recommend Ryan’s removal company highly enough — if you’re looking for a reliable, friendly, and hardworking team, these are the lads to go with!
