At Man with Van Earlsfield we provide secure, flexible storage for households and businesses across Earlsfield and the surrounding areas. Whether you need short-term storage between moves or a longer-term solution for stock and equipment, our professional, fully insured team can collect, store and return your belongings safely.

With years of hands-on removals experience in SW18 and beyond, we understand how stressful moving and storage can be. Our aim is simple: make it straightforward, predictable and well organised, with clear pricing and proper protection for your goods.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Renovating, downsizing or waiting for a completion date? Our storage is ideal for keeping furniture, white goods and personal items safe and out of the way while you get your new home sorted.

Renters

If you are between tenancies or moving into a furnished property, we can collect your belongings, store them securely and deliver them when you are ready. Flexible weekly and monthly options mean you only pay for the time and space you actually need.

Landlords

Need to clear a property quickly for new tenants, refurbishments or safety works? We can remove and store furniture and appliances, then return them when the job is complete, keeping disruption to a minimum.

Businesses

From boxed files and stock to IT equipment and display units, our storage service supports local shops, offices and trades. We can schedule collections outside working hours and provide ongoing storage for seasonal or surplus items.

Students

Going home between terms or on a placement? Instead of dragging everything back and forth, store your belongings locally. We can collect from halls or shared houses and redeliver to your next address in Earlsfield or nearby.

What We Can Store

Our storage service is designed to handle most everyday household and business items, including:

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other furniture
• Boxes of clothes, books, documents and personal items
• TVs, computers and other electrical equipment
• Office furniture, files and small equipment
• Tools, trade equipment and stock (non-perishable)
• Bicycles, sports gear and hobby equipment

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we cannot accept into storage:

• Perishable or open food and drink
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles, fuel, paints and chemicals)
• Illegal items or goods of dubious origin
• Live plants, animals or biological materials
• Unregistered firearms or weapons
• High-value jewellery, cash or important original documents (we recommend secure banking or specialist vault storage for these)

If you are unsure about a particular item, we are happy to advise before collection.

How Our Storage Service Works

We follow a clear, step-by-step process so you always know what is happening and when.

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with a rough list of what you need to store and your dates. We will ask a few questions about volume, access and timings, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and re-delivery if required.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger jobs, we usually carry out a quick video or onsite survey. This lets us assess access, parking, number of items and any heavy or awkward pieces. It means we can send the right vehicle, the right number of trained movers and enough protective materials on the day, avoiding surprises for you and for us.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service using quality packing materials. We can disassemble furniture if needed and wrap items in protective blankets, covers and bubble wrap. Everything is clearly labelled to make retrieval and redelivery straightforward.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

On collection day, our professional team will arrive on time, protect floors and communal areas as needed, and carefully load your items. We use ties, blankets and padding to keep everything secure in transit. Goods are then transported directly to our chosen storage facility and placed into your allocated unit or vault.

5. Storage, Unloading & Future Placement

Once in storage, your belongings are kept in a clean, dry and secure environment. When you are ready to have items back, we simply schedule a delivery date, retrieve your goods and bring them to your new address. We unload, place items in the rooms you choose and reassemble furniture if this service has been agreed.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe storage costs should be clear and predictable. Our pricing usually has three parts:

• Collection fee – based on vehicle size, number of movers and time required.
• Storage fee – a weekly or monthly rate depending on the volume of goods and length of stay.
• Redelivery fee – for returning your items from storage to your chosen address.

There are no hidden charges for basic handling or standard blankets. Any additional services, such as full packing, furniture assembly or special access arrangements, are clearly set out in advance so you can make an informed decision.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals and storage company is very different from doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:

• Trained teams – our staff are experienced in lifting, loading and protecting goods safely, reducing the risk of injury and damage.
• Proper protection – we use covers, blankets and securing equipment to safeguard your belongings at every stage.
• Fully insured – unlike many informal services, we carry Goods in Transit and Public Liability cover.
• Time and stress saving – we plan routes, access and parking, and manage all the heavy work.
• Integrated service – one provider handling both removals and storage means fewer handovers and less chance of items being lost or mixed up.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a specialist removals and storage operator, we take responsibility for your belongings seriously.

• Goods in Transit insurance – covers your items while they are being moved to and from storage, subject to our terms and declared values.
• Public Liability cover – protects you and third parties in the unlikely event of damage or injury during our work.
• Trained moving teams – all staff are trained in manual handling, safe loading and customer care, and work under experienced supervision.

We will explain how our cover works, what is included and any optional upgrades if you are storing particularly valuable items. Clear paperwork and inventories give you peace of mind and a proper record of what is in storage.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We handle your possessions as if they were our own. Floors, doors and bannisters are protected where needed, and fragile items are wrapped and clearly labelled. In storage, we ensure goods are stacked sensibly, with heavier items at the bottom and delicate pieces on top or in separate areas.

We also pay attention to sustainability. Wherever possible we reuse strong cartons, blankets and crates, and we encourage customers to avoid single-use plastics. When packing materials reach the end of their life, we dispose of them through appropriate recycling channels rather than general waste.

Real-World Ways Our Storage Helps

Moving House in Stages

Many local families use our storage to bridge the gap between selling and completing, or to move non-essential items out early so the main move day is quicker and calmer.

Office and Shop Relocations

Businesses often need to decant furniture, equipment and stock while new premises are being fitted out. Our storage lets you keep everything safe and organised until you are ready to reopen.

Urgent or Same-Week Moves

If you need to be out of a property quickly, storage can be a vital safety net. We can remove your belongings at short notice, hold them securely, and then deliver them once you have finalised your next address.

Local Expertise in Earlsfield

Operating day in, day out around Earlsfield means we know the streets, parking restrictions and typical property layouts extremely well. From narrow terraced roads to mansion blocks and new-build apartments, we plan our collections and deliveries with local realities in mind.

We are used to working with local estate agents, landlords and building managers, and can often suggest the most practical times and access routes to keep everything running smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with collection cost?

Costs depend mainly on how much you need to store, how long for, and how complex access is. We usually charge a one-off collection fee, then a weekly or monthly storage rate based on the volume of goods. A typical one-bedroom flat, fully furnished, will cost less than a large family home with outdoor items. To keep things fair, we tailor quotes to your actual needs rather than using one-size-fits-all pricing. We are always happy to talk you through options and help you adjust the plan to fit your budget.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

Where our schedule allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day collection into storage, especially within Earlsfield and nearby areas. Urgent bookings depend on vehicle and crew availability, as well as access and parking at your address. The more information you can give us when you call, the easier it is for us to react quickly. If we cannot get everything done the same day, we may suggest a phased approach so that at least the most important rooms or items are cleared in time for your deadline.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your goods are covered by our Goods in Transit insurance during collection and delivery, and by our storage arrangements whilst they are held. Cover is subject to our standard terms and any declared value limits, which we explain clearly before you book. We recommend you tell us about any particularly high-value items so we can check they are properly noted. Insurance does not usually cover prohibited goods or items stored against our advice. For most customers, our standard cover is sufficient, but we can discuss additional options if needed.

What is included in your storage service?

As standard, we collect your items from your property, protect them with blankets and covers, transport them to our chosen storage facility and place them securely into your allocated space. Basic handling, loading and unloading are included, as is standard inventory and labelling so we know what is stored. Optional extras include professional packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, out-of-hours collections, and priority redelivery slots. We will set out clearly what is included in 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 typically offers transport only, often without formal training, proper protective materials or meaningful insurance. Our service combines professional removals expertise with secure storage, clear paperwork and dedicated customer support. We plan access, provide trained staff, and take responsibility for your belongings from door to store and back again. If something unexpected happens, we have procedures and insurance in place to deal with it properly. That level of structure and accountability is what sets us apart from ad-hoc or purely budget options.

How far in advance should I book storage?

Ideally, book at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or school holidays. This gives us time to carry out any necessary survey, reserve the right size of storage space and schedule a crew that suits your preferred date. However, we appreciate that moves and building works do not always go to plan, so we will always do our best to accommodate shorter notice. If your dates are uncertain, we can often pencil in a provisional slot and confirm once your plans firm up.
