We are here for you088 321 99 00Housing associations: storage and moves during renovation
In a renovation or sustainability project per block or street, residents need somewhere for their belongings for a while. Oomen Verhuizers & Opslag takes several homes into storage at once. Each household goes into its own container at the home, which stays sealed in our warehouse until the home is ready. After the work we put the contents back at the same time.
What Oomen takes care of in a renovation project
With us, a renovation project consists of the parts below. We pack on request.
Collecting the contents
We collect several households a day, with several truck combinations at once. That way a block or street is empty at the agreed moment.
Storage without transloading
Each household gets its own container, which is closed at the home and stays sealed in our climate-controlled warehouse. Nothing is transloaded, so the risk of damage or loss is small.
Room for large volumes
Oomen is the largest in storage among moving companies. Our automated storage warehouses hold more than 1,000 containers.
Putting everything back
When the block is finished, we bring the contents back at the same time and put everything back in the home.
Packing for residents
On request our movers pack and unpack. That is especially helpful for residents who cannot do it themselves.
Packing serviceHouse clearance
After a clearance we empty the home, store the usable contents for 13 weeks and hand over broom-clean on request.

From the schedule per block to putting the contents back.
Survey and schedule
The project manager agrees with the housing association and the contractor which homes need to be empty when.
Quote and relocation plan
The quote follows the survey. After approval the project manager writes the relocation plan: the order per block, the dates and who does what.
Packing
Residents pack themselves, or our movers do it if that has been agreed.
Collecting and storing
Teams led by a foreman load each household into its own container. The containers go sealed to our storage.
Putting back
After the work we return the containers and put the contents back in the home.
Planning with the association and the contractor
We plan eight weeks ahead. For a project in phases we fix the dates per block, so the contractor knows when a home is accessible. If the contractor's schedule shifts, we shift along where we can. At short notice there is often still room.
What we need for the quote
- The number of homes and the addresses per block or street
- The contractor's schedule per phase
- How long the contents stay in storage
- Whether residents get help with packing
Movers with a VOG and VCA
Our movers come into residents' homes and handle their belongings with care. We drive 27 electric vehicles and charge them with power from the more than 1,000 solar panels on our buildings in Katwijk and Tilburg. Kiwa audits us every year for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001 and VCA. Our movers hold a certificate of conduct (VOG) and VCA.

Request a projectDuring a renovation, residents' belongings have to leave the home for a while so the contractor can work. Oomen Verhuizers & Opslag collects the contents per block or street, stores them in containers and puts them back after the work.
Several homes a day. We run several truck combinations at the same time and have more than 1,000 storage containers, so an entire block or street can be done in one go.
No. Each household goes into its own container at the home. That container stays sealed in our warehouse and returns after the renovation. That reduces the risk of damage and loss.
Yes. On request our movers pack and unpack. That is especially helpful for residents who cannot do it themselves.
During transport by our movers the contents are insured up to € 125,000 with no excess, in accordance with our terms and conditions. During storage the contents are not insured by default. That requires storage insurance, through us or through the resident's own contents policy.
Yes. A project manager from Oomen coordinates the project and aligns the schedule with the housing association and the contractor.
That depends on the number of homes, the duration of storage and what we do for residents, such as packing. After the survey by the project manager you receive a quote.
