Storage Units from London Man and Van Can Fit Any Need

Storage UnitsSince you have landed on our website, you must be interested in finding a Storage solution for some – or maybe even all – of your belongings. There are different reasons for renting a Storage unit and there are different types of Storage units, so read further to find out some of the ways to choose what you need when it comes to safe-keeping. Then, call us on 020 8746 4330 and we can answer any further questions you may have or go ahead and make a reservation. It’s that easy. Before you get going, however, there are some important considerations to think about.

It is hard to get rid of furniture even if there is no space in the new home. We know how attached people can become to their things. That’s completely normal. But if you’ve made the decision to sell, discard or donate some of your things or pieces of furniture after a move, you may need some time to get replacements. But even if you have already furnished the new place with different furniture, you mostly likely can’t just leave all the old stuff out on the curb. You will likely need to arrange pick-up or drop-off of the items, and if you are selling them online, you may be holding on to them longer than you think. In any case, you will need a safe, secure place to store them where they won’t be subject to weather conditions or bugs.

Self Storage is the perfect solution in your situation. Just choose a unit and load the items in. Then you can have access to them whenever you need to, like when you are able to rent a truck to transport them or if a charity is coming to pick them up. You will know that they are in the exact condition that you left them in – which might not be true if you store them in a damp garage.

Safe Storage UKIt is important to think of how long you will need the Storage unit for. We offer short-term and long-term leases with no obligation. That means that you can rent a unit for a few weeks or even a few years. But if you know ahead of time how long you will need the space for, you can save some money by using a longer-term lease. If you are storing items that you plan to get rid of, renting a unit for a short period of time will force you to take action. A long-term lease is a better option if you will be using the Storage unit as an extension of your home. This is often the case for people living in large urban areas where space is at a premium and few places have enough storage space within the home.

Once you have determined how long you think you will need the storage space for, it is a good idea to spend some time thinking about the size of the unit you will need to rent. You don’t want to sign a contract just to find that your things won’t fit inside! Before you start putting everything into garment bags and Cardboard Boxes and wrapping up all the furniture, do a price comparison of the different sizes of units available from our company. You may not need the large unit if you spend a day or two with your family members going through your items and deciding what not to keep. You may find that you can cut the pile in half, so that what goes into safe-keeping are actually the things that you care about and want to hold on to. There is no reason to store old clothing that no one wants to wear anymore. But there is definitely good cause to store things such as your wedding gown or baby clothes that were knitted by a beloved grandmother.

If you have sorted through your things and discarded anything you are sure you no longer need, you may still find yourself in need of a large storage unit due to the size of the items themselves. A canoe won’t exactly fit into a small unit. Nor will a grand piano or a vintage car. But appliances and boxes probably can, unless you have a whole household’s worth. Why does London Man and Van try to save you money? We want you to be 100% satisfied with the level of service. And our service includes helping customers decide what is practical for them.

Self Storage UnitIf your concern is more for convenience, comfort and ease, then a Storage unit can still be of use to you. If you are in the midst of a House Removal, you can rely on the movers to help you pack your things and simply have them unloaded at our Storage site. It couldn’t be easier. You will wonder why you ever moved without the convenience of a Storage unit to cut down on the things that are unloaded into your new house. One of the advantages of Storage units is that you will be able to really judge what you own. Sometimes this is hard to do when things are stuffed away in attics and basements or shoved into the garage. By hauling everything out before taking it to a Storage unit, you will see all those things that you haven’t laid eyes on in years, which is important to do from time to time. And if you are in the process of moving, you will be able to design the look of your new home as if it were a clean slate. This is very hard to do if you are surrounded by boxes and pieces of furniture that you don’t need. And planning the look of your new home is one of the most exciting things about moving to a new home in the first place. So whether you want to start out on the right foot in a new place, or clean up your old on, we have the Storage place for you.



Frequently Asked Questions

In short, it depends on what you're storing and for how long - standard storage is often fine for furniture and household items, while climate-controlled units help protect sensitive goods. If you're keeping documents, guitars, artwork, or wardrobes for months, temperature and humidity can matter. At our London self storage, we start by asking what's in your boxes and when you'll collect. We then recommend the right unit type and packing approach, using protective blankets, straps, and good airflow. If you're not sure, our team can guide you on the most cost-effective option without risking damage.

Security matters - especially when you're storing belongings from your home or office while moving. Our approach focuses on both the unit and the people handling your items. We use safe, monitored storage processes and treat every handover carefully, with compliant packing, correct labelling, and protective handling. On the workforce side, we're fully insured, with DBS-checked and trained movers following the highest safety standards. You'll also get clear access guidance so you know what to expect for collections and returns. For peace of mind, we're rated 4.6 stars from 130+ verified reviews, and customers regularly mention how secure and organised their storage journey felt.

Yes - proper preparation is the difference between stored and still like new when you open the unit later. We can help with packing for house removals and storage moves, using eco-friendly packing boxes and the right wrapping so items don't shift during transit. Our movers use protective blankets and straps during storage collection and delivery, and we can also help you plan what should go in first. That might include labelling fragile items for quicker access later. If you're storing seasonally, we'll suggest a sensible packing order so you can reach essentials without moving everything. For help deciding, just tell us what you're storing and your approximate storage duration.

Absolutely - our removals service is built around safe handling and the right moving methods. We use purpose-made moving equipment to reduce strain and protect your belongings, particularly for bulky furniture, mattresses, and fragile items. During loading and unloading, we secure items properly with straps and protective coverings, and we keep pathways clear for safer manoeuvring. This is especially important when accessing lifts, narrow streets, or residential parking bays around London. If you're moving from a ground floor flat or an area with limited curb space, we'll plan the route and timing so the job stays smooth. Book your move today and we'll take care of the logistics end to end.

We take training seriously because storage isn't just put it somewhere - it's controlled handling from pick-up to storage and back again. That's why our team includes DBS-checked movers who follow established safety processes and handling standards on every job. We're also fully insured, so you're covered if anything unforeseen happens. Depending on the project, we may follow recognised industry guidance on vehicle safety, lifting practices, and secure transport. You'll see this reflected in how we wrap, label, and stack items for stability in the unit. With over 22 years of professional removals and relocation services, we've developed efficient methods for home moves, office moves, and furniture transport - so you're in experienced hands from day one.

Storage pricing typically depends on a few practical factors, so we'll always be transparent before you commit. The main drivers are the unit size, your rental length, whether you need packing help, and how many items we need to move. Access requirements also matter - think stairs, lift availability, parking restrictions, or whether your move involves a busy main road. For house removals and storage moves across London, we'll review your situation and provide options that match your budget. If you're uncertain, start with a quick assessment of what you plan to store; it helps us recommend the right unit and avoid paying for space you don't need. Call our London team to discuss your dates and access details.

Yes, and it's a popular option for student moves and exam-term turnarounds. If you're shifting from halls to a flat - or back again - you often need short-term storage between contracts. We help with furniture transport and can arrange collection and delivery around your schedule, including times that work around public transport links and local access. For example, moves from areas near King's Cross and into Camden are common, especially when you're juggling viewings and new tenancy start dates. We'll talk you through the quickest way to pack, what to label, and what to keep easy access so you're not hunting for the right box later. If you're planning a student storage window, schedule your removals quote now.

We provide professional removals and storage across London and many surrounding boroughs, making it easier to coordinate pick-up, storage, and delivery in one plan. Common areas our customers use include: Barnet (Barnet), Camden (Camden), Croydon (Croydon), Enfield (Enfield), Greenwich (Greenwich), Hackney (Hackney), Hammersmith & Fulham (Hammersmith & Fulham), Haringey (Haringey), Harrow (Harrow), Islington (Islington), Kingston upon Thames (Kingston upon Thames), Lambeth (Lambeth), Lewisham (Lewisham), Newham (Newham), and Southwark (Southwark). If you don't see your exact area, tell us where you're moving from - we'll confirm availability and access. Our goal is simple: a smooth storage plan for homes, relocations, and office moves, without last-minute surprises.

We regularly support storage moves across busy neighbourhoods and well-known London locations where access can be tricky. Customers often reference areas around Hyde Park, Regent's Canal, and Greenwich Park, plus delivery points near transport hubs like London Bridge and Victoria. On the streets, we handle jobs where vehicles must park strategically near major roads or where residents rely on limited lift access. That's why we plan loading points, protect floors and stairs, and secure items carefully before they're placed into storage. If you're moving items from a flat near a landmark or a park-adjacent street, tell us the closest point for arrival - we'll tailor the approach to the location.

We aim to reduce waste where possible, not just pack efficiently. In practice, this means using eco-friendly packing materials and choosing transport methods designed to be low-emission - our process is built around cutting down unnecessary waste while keeping your items protected. As part of our approach, we'll explain what can be reused or responsibly disposed of after unpacking, depending on the materials involved and the condition they're in. That might include reusable protective wraps and boxes where appropriate. Eco rating: 87% of packing materials and transport methods are eco-friendly and low-emission. If you'd like a less waste plan for your storage move, mention it when you book - we'll factor it into how we prepare and label your items.

Yes - most people want the option to retrieve things without waiting until the end of the storage term. We'll explain how access works at the start, including the steps needed for collections and re-deliveries. When you request an item retrieval, we confirm the date, access window, and what you need brought out, then we plan the collection to minimise disruption. If you're moving into your new place and want to bring essential items first - like bedding, kitchen essentials, or small office equipment - we can do that. Our movers follow careful handling processes so what's taken out is protected as it returns to your home or workplace. For clear next steps, book your move today and we'll align storage access with your timeline.

Self-storage can be a practical solution for office moves, refurbishments, and seasonal stock. If you're relocating a workspace, we can help coordinate furniture transport, packing, and storage for items like desks, chairs, filing systems, and electronics that need secure handling. We also understand business timing - when your team needs things moved quickly and with minimal downtime around London borough schedules and access constraints. Our process includes clear labelling, careful stacking for stability in the unit, and protective coverings to reduce scuffs and damage. For businesses, insurance and safe handling procedures matter, so our fully insured service and trained movers help you manage risk. If you're planning an office move and need storage in the middle, schedule your removals quote now so we can plan dates and access.

Turnaround depends on how much you're storing and how straightforward access is, but we always plan for efficiency. Many moves are completed in a single organised visit, especially when items are packed and labelled in advance. If we're providing packing, the timeline includes preparation so fragile goods are protected before loading. For bigger house removals or office moves, we may schedule a time window that suits you and allows enough time for safe loading, securing, and delivery into the unit. We've managed lots of local storage transitions over the years, and our track record includes 1800+ successful moves completed locally. That experience helps us avoid delays and keep the day running smoothly. If you have a tight deadline, tell us your collection and delivery dates early - we'll do our best to match them.

Yes - we regularly support removals and storage moves around Chelsea, including Chelsea SW3. If you're downsizing, relocating within London, or waiting for keys, storage can make the gap far less stressful. We'll plan the collection point, check access needs, and make sure your items are packed and protected for transit and storage. Customers in Chelsea often have similar challenges: parking restrictions, stair runs, and timing around building access. That's where our experience helps - Over 22 years of professional removals and relocation services means we're used to coordinating logistics efficiently. If you're planning a move and want a storage solution tailored to your dates, Call our London team to discuss unit sizing and availability.

Choosing the right unit size is easier when you think in what you're storing rather than guessing box counts. If you're storing a studio or one-bedroom flat, you may only need a smaller unit, while family homes often require a larger space for furniture transport and multiple categories of items. We can help you estimate based on your items - sofa sets, wardrobes, dining tables, boxes, and seasonal clothing - and what you want to keep in easy reach. It also helps if you tell us whether you're storing everything long-term or just for a short transition between tenancies. With clear labelling and thoughtful packing, we can often fit items more efficiently without compromising protection. Get started by booking a storage assessment and we'll recommend an appropriate size.
