Storage

Ashtons Removals use the Safe & Clever Furniture Storage System. This means your goods will be stored in modules which have been specially constructed out of timber and plywood which reduces the risk of deterioration that can occur from damp, mildew and rust.

The use of modules eliminates unnecessary double-handling, and when you reduce the handling, you reduce the risk of damage associated with carrying furniture.

The modules are brought to your home in our removal truck where your goods will be loaded directly into the modules. Back at our warehouse we will use a forklift to lift the modules off the truck and place them inside our secure warehouse.
