Furniture that did not fit
Bought for the old place, kept for the next one. Stored rather than sold at a loss.
No driving to a unit. No van hire. No lifting.
DAMAC Hills is a community still filling up, which means half our collections here are people moving in and half are people who bought furniture that did not fit.
Bought for the old place, kept for the next one. Stored rather than sold at a loss.
New builds get furnished over months. Hold the surplus until each room is settled.
Narrow stairs and small store rooms. The things that will not go up get stored instead.
DAMAC Hills sits off Umm Suqeim Road around the Trump International Golf Club, mixing villas and townhouses in Akoya, Trinity, Rockwood and Silver Springs with a growing number of apartment buildings. It is newer than Arabian Ranches and it shows in the storage pattern: a large share of what we collect here is not accumulated clutter but recently bought furniture that turned out not to fit, or a household's previous furniture kept while the new place is furnished properly.
The practical constraint is that the community is large and the sub-communities are not obviously signed, so we ask for the sub-community name and the villa or building number rather than just 'DAMAC Hills' — a crew circling Akoya looking for a house is a crew not loading. Security registration is required in advance like any gated development. Townhouses here also tend to have narrower internal stairs than the villas in older communities, which matters for wardrobes and large sofas; tell us if a piece was assembled in place, because those often cannot come out whole. Typical volumes run 150 to 200 square feet for a townhouse and 240 to 300 for a villa.
Our crew comes to your DAMAC Hills address, wraps what is going and loads it.
Billed on the floor space your items occupy, not on a unit size you have to fill.
Multi-angle CCTV covers every corridor, entry point, loading area and storage zone.
Take back one box or everything, normally within 24–48 hours.
A call, a WhatsApp or the quote form. A rough list is enough for us to size it.
The crew arrives on the agreed date, wraps everything and loads the van.
Items go into the covered facility under camera, logged so they can be found again.
All of it or part of it, back at the address you choose, usually within 24–48 hours.
Charged on the space your things actually take up. Transport from DAMAC Hills is quoted separately and told to you up front rather than added afterwards.
The sub-community name — Akoya, Trinity, Rockwood, Silver Springs and so on — plus the villa or building number. DAMAC Hills is large and poorly signed internally, and a crew looking for an address is time you are paying for.
Tell us before the day. Townhouse stairs here are narrower than in the older villa communities, and furniture assembled in place frequently cannot come down whole. We can dismantle most pieces, but it changes the time and occasionally the outcome, so it should be on the quote rather than a surprise.
We operate a warehouse in Dubai, so what we collect in the emirate is stored in the emirate rather than driven to Dubai and back. Your belongings are stored at our Dubai facility, Building 23, Warehouse 5, DIP-1, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. What we run on top of that is the collection service: our crew comes to your address, wraps and loads, and takes everything to the facility.
It is quoted on the actual job — your address in DAMAC Hills, how the access works (lift, stairs, parking) and how much there is to move. We do not price transport from a table, because a ground-floor flat with parking outside and a ninth floor with a booked service lift are not the same job. You get the transport figure and the storage figure before anything is booked, and the number you are given is the number you pay. Storage itself is 12.65 AED per square foot per month, VAT included.
What decides it is access, not distance. A villa or ground-floor flat with somewhere to park is quick; a high floor in a tower where the service lift has to be booked and shared with other residents takes longer, and that is the single biggest variable in Dubai. When we quote we give you a time window for the day and the crew confirms on arrival. Packing loose items into boxes yourself beforehand is the one thing that reliably shortens it.
Yes, and it is the most common reason people here call us. We empty the property on the day you hand the keys back, hold everything for however long the gap runs, and deliver to the new address once you can receive it. Billing is monthly on the space used with no minimum term, so a twelve-day gap costs twelve days, not a month. If the handover slips again you simply tell us a new date. It works the same in reverse coming into Dubai.
Yes — access is arranged on request rather than by turning up, because your things are stored in a working warehouse rather than a unit you hold a key to. Tell us when you would like to come and we book a slot and have your items ready. 24/7 facility access available for existing customers on request. If you only need something back rather than to see it, delivery to your door is usually the easier answer and is normally arranged within 24–48 hours.
There is no minimum period and no lock-in. Storage is billed month to month on the floor space your items actually occupy, and you can end it whenever you like with no early-termination penalty. A fortnight is charged as a fortnight. There is equally no maximum — some customers store for years — and you can add to or take from what is stored without renegotiating anything.
Yes, and it is one of the steadier reasons we get called here. We can take the whole property or work room by room as the job moves through it, collecting in stages and delivering back the same way, so you are never paying to store more than you need to. Each collection is quoted before it happens. Tell us roughly how long the work is expected to run — and expect it to overrun, which costs you nothing extra because there is no fixed end date.
Ask us for the current cover position in writing before you book, and tell us if you are storing anything high-value — art, antiques, instruments, specialist equipment — so it is addressed on your quote rather than assumed. What we can state plainly is how your things are kept: wrapped before they leave your property, stored off the floor inside a covered warehouse rather than a yard or a container, and logged on a signed inventory at collection so there is a written record of every item. Multi-angle CCTV covers every corridor, entry point, loading area and storage zone.
We wrap and load. Furniture is wrapped before it leaves the property, and our crew carries it and handles the lift booking and loading bay — you do not hire a van, carry anything, or negotiate with building management. What is worth doing yourself is boxing up small loose items beforehand: it makes the collection faster and cheaper, because you are billed on the space your things occupy and packed boxes stack where loose belongings do not.
Yes, and it is what the end of each term looks like here. Paying to hold a room over a summer you are not in the country for costs far more than storing what is in it. We collect from the residence at the end of term, hold the boxes over the break, and deliver back when the new year starts — to a different address if you have moved. There is no minimum term, so a three-month summer is charged as three months. Book the collection date early: end of term is the busiest fortnight of the year and slots go quickly.
Free quote, no survey fee, nothing booked until you agree both numbers — the storage and the transport. Monday–Sunday 8 AM–8 PM.
