Handovers that slipped
Furniture held for six to ten weeks with no fixed end date.
No driving to a unit. No van hire. No lifting.
Meydan is largely new-build villas and townhouses being furnished for the first time. Most of what we collect here is furniture waiting for a house to be ready.
Furniture held for six to ten weeks with no fixed end date.
Rooms furnished as they are snagged and finished, rather than all at once.
Kept while the new villa is furnished properly, rather than sold at a loss.
Meydan runs from the Meydan Racecourse and the Grandstand out through Meydan Avenue, Sobha Hartland and the newer Nad Al Sheba villa districts, reached off Al Ain Road and Ras Al Khor Road. It is one of the newest large residential areas in the city and much of it is still handing over, which sets the pattern for the work here.
A Meydan booking is far more often a household waiting for a property than a household clearing one. People complete on a villa, the handover slips, and the furniture they bought or brought needs somewhere to be for six to ten weeks — which is exactly the shape storage is best at, because there is no fixed end date and a slipped handover costs the extra weeks and nothing more. Volumes are large, 240 to 380 square feet for a villa, and deliveries frequently happen in stages as rooms are snagged and finished. Access is easy in the completed sections and awkward in the ones still under construction, where site traffic and unfinished roads can make a large vehicle difficult — we ask whether the immediate street is finished, because that is not something you can tell from a map. Summer loading here is outdoors with no shade, so villa collections are scheduled early in the day.
Our crew comes to your Meydan 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 Meydan is quoted separately and told to you up front rather than added afterwards.
The extra weeks and nothing else. Billing is monthly with no fixed end date and no renegotiation, so a handover that slips from six weeks to ten costs four more weeks. Slipped handovers are the normal case in Meydan rather than the exception.
Yes, and it is how most Meydan deliveries run. Rooms get furnished as they are snagged and signed off, so you can occupy the house while the rest is finished. Each delivery is quoted as its own job.
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 Meydan, 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.
