Storing household goods in Lucknow: a practical guide

Sometimes your goods need a place to wait: the new flat is not ready, the house is being renovated, or you are posted somewhere for a year. Storage keeps everything safe until you need it.

When storage makes sense

• A gap of days or weeks between moving out and moving in
• Home renovation or repainting
• Transfer abroad or to a posting without family accommodation
• Business stock, files or furniture that does not fit the office

What a good warehouse offers

Look for a covered, dry building with regular pest control, goods stacked on raised platforms rather than the floor, and an inventory of everything stored. Access should be controlled, and you should be able to ask for specific items back.

Preparing goods for storage

• Clean and fully dry appliances; leave fridge doors slightly open to prevent smell.
• Wrap wooden furniture to protect the polish.
• Seal clothes and linen in cartons with naphthalene or neem leaves.
• Do not store perishables, plants, gas cylinders or flammables.
• Keep jewellery, cash and important papers with you.

How storage is charged

Storage is charged by space and duration. Packing and transport to the warehouse are quoted separately. Ask whether insurance during storage is available.
