Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are moving house, renovating or simply decluttering, our storage can keep furniture, appliances and personal items safe until you are ready for them. We often support homeowners who have a gap between selling and completing on their new property.

Renters

Tenancy changes, relocations and shorter notice periods can create awkward timing. We provide flexible storage so you can move out on time without having to rush decisions about your belongings.

Landlords

We help landlords store furniture and appliances during refurbishments, voids or when changing from furnished to unfurnished lets. Our team can collect from multiple properties and store everything together if needed.

Businesses

From small offices to growing online retailers, we provide storage for excess furniture, archived documents, seasonal stock and exhibition materials. Our trained team can handle regular collections and deliveries as your needs change.

Students

Students in Wandsworth and nearby universities use our storage between terms, over summer or while studying abroad. We collect from halls or private rentals and deliver back at the start of term, saving you the cost and hassle of taking everything home.

What We Can Store

We can safely store most household and office items, including:

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other furniture
• Home appliances (fridges, washing machines, microwaves)
• Boxes of clothes, books, kitchenware and personal items
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment
• Retail stock, marketing materials and exhibition stands
• Bikes, sports equipment and hobby items

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we are unable to store. These typically include:

• Perishable goods or food items
• Flammable, corrosive or hazardous materials (paint, fuel, gas bottles, chemicals)
• Illegal goods or substances
• Live plants or animals
• Cash, jewellery or high-value collections best suited for specialist storage
• Explosives, firearms or weapons of any kind

If you are unsure whether we can store a particular item, just ask and we will advise.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You get in touch with an outline of what you need to store, your addresses and timescales. We discuss access, volume and any special requirements, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote for collection, storage and redelivery.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger moves or when access is complex, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volume, parking, staircases and lifts, and to recommend the most suitable storage option. It also minimises surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or choose our packing service. Our professional team can provide materials and pack everything securely, labelling boxes clearly for easy retrieval later. Furniture is wrapped and protected to prevent damage during handling and storage.

4. Loading & Transport

On collection day, our trained movers arrive on time, protect floors and walls where needed, and carefully load your belongings. Everything is secured in the vehicle to minimise movement, then transported directly to our storage facility.

5. Storage, Unloading & Placement

On arrival at the facility, we unload your items into your allocated storage area, stacking and organising them for efficient use of space. When you are ready to have your items back, we load them again and deliver to your new or existing address, placing furniture and boxes into the correct rooms.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote is based on:

• Volume of goods to be stored
• Length of storage period
• Collection and delivery addresses
• Access conditions (stairs, lifts, distance to parking)
• Any optional services such as packing or materials

There are no hidden extras: we explain all charges upfront so you can plan with confidence. For longer-term storage, we can discuss reduced rates depending on duration and volume.

Why Use a Professional Storage Service Instead of DIY?

Hiring a professional storage and removals company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:

• Time-saving – we handle lifting, loading, transport and unloading
• Safety – correct equipment and techniques reduce the risk of injury
• Protection – items are wrapped, padded and handled correctly
• Reliability – booked time slots and written confirmations
• Fully insured – your belongings are protected throughout the move

With DIY storage, you often have to arrange your own van, lifting help and time off work, and you carry more risk if something goes wrong. Our managed service is designed to be straightforward, predictable and secure.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We operate to clear standards so you know your belongings are in safe hands.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being moved between your property and the storage facility.
• Public liability cover – protects you and your property in the unlikely event of an accident on site.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in lifting, carrying and packing, and understand how to protect furniture, floors and walls.

We are happy to discuss cover levels and any specific high-value items during the quotation stage.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are covered, and boxes are stacked to avoid crushing. We plan loading so that fragile and heavy items are kept separate, and we use tie-downs and blankets in our vehicles.

Where possible, we use reusable crates and durable materials, and we re-use or recycle packing supplies rather than discarding them after a single use. We also plan routes efficiently around Wandsworth to minimise unnecessary mileage and fuel consumption.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House with a Gap Between Dates

Many clients use our storage when they need to move out before their new home is ready. We collect everything in one go, store it securely, then deliver to your new address on your moving-in day.

Office Refurbishment or Relocation

Businesses in Wandsworth trust us to clear offices ahead of refurbishments or relocations. We store desks, chairs, IT equipment and files, then return them once the new space is ready, helping to reduce downtime.

Urgent or Last-Minute Storage

Sometimes circumstances change quickly – a landlord needs the property back, a sale completes faster than expected, or building work is brought forward. When our schedule allows, we can offer urgent storage collection and keep your belongings safe at short notice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with Man with Van Wandsworth cost?

Storage costs depend on how much you need to store, how long for, and where we are collecting from and delivering to. We base our prices on the volume of your goods, measured in cubic feet or metres, plus the labour and vehicle time for collection and redelivery. Shorter stays and smaller loads are usually cheaper, but we can also offer competitive rates for longer-term storage. Once we understand your needs, we provide a clear written quote with all charges explained upfront.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

Where our schedule allows, we can often help with same-day or very short-notice storage. This is particularly common when sales complete unexpectedly quickly, tenancies end, or emergency repairs are needed. The best approach is to call us as soon as you know you might need urgent storage, so we can check availability and plan a realistic collection window. While we cannot guarantee same-day service every time, we always do our best to find a practical solution.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Yes. Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them, and by our facility cover while they are stored. Our public liability cover also protects you and your property during collection and delivery. We will explain the key terms and any limits during quotation, and you are welcome to ask about specific high-value items. For particularly valuable collections, we may recommend that you consider additional specialist cover alongside our standard insurance.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes collection from your address, loading by our professional team, transport to the facility, unloading into storage, and redelivery at the end of the storage period. We can also provide optional services such as packing, supply of boxes and materials, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and disposal of unwanted items by arrangement. Everything we include will be clearly listed on your quote so you know exactly what to expect on the day.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van service typically offers simple transport only, with limited or no insurance, variable reliability and little accountability. Our approach is different. We provide fully insured, planned storage and removals with trained teams, proper equipment and clear paperwork. We survey larger jobs, advise on packing, protect your belongings and your property, and manage the entire process from doorstep to storage and back again. This reduces risk, saves time and provides a far more predictable experience.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of dates and times, especially in busy periods such as the summer and month-ends, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. However, we understand that timings around moves, sales and building work can change, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where we can. As soon as you know you may need storage, contact us for an initial quotation; we can then hold or adjust dates as your situation becomes clearer.
