Storage in Fulham by Man and a Van Fulham
At Man and a Van Fulham, we provide secure, flexible storage solutions for households and businesses across Fulham and the surrounding areas. As a local, experienced removals company, we collect, store and return your belongings with the same care we use on a full house move.
Professional Storage Services in Fulham
Our storage service is designed for people who need safe, short or long-term space without the hassle of hiring a van, lifting heavy items or dealing with complex self-storage contracts. We collect from your door, protect your items properly, place everything into secure, monitored storage, and return it when you are ready.
Whether you are between properties, decluttering for a sale, renovating, or running out of room at the office, we tailor a storage plan to fit your situation and budget.
Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect if you are staging your property for sale, renovating a kitchen or extension, or waiting for your onward purchase to complete. We can store full house contents or just selected bulky items and bring them back once you have the keys to your new home.
Renters
If your tenancy dates do not line up, or you are moving into temporary accommodation, storage keeps your furniture and belongings safe in the gap. We regularly help renters who need a few weeks or months of short-term storage while things are finalised.
Landlords
Landlords in Fulham use our storage to hold furniture during refurbishments, safety works, or change of use. We can remove and store existing furnishings, then return them or deliver to a different property when required.
Businesses
Local businesses rely on our business storage for archives, excess stock, seasonal items, exhibition equipment and furniture during office moves. We offer regular access by arrangement and can coordinate deliveries to and from your premises.
Students
Students at local universities and colleges often need student storage between terms. We collect boxes, suitcases, bikes and small furniture from halls or rental properties and store everything safely until the new term.
What We Can Store
We handle most typical household and office items, including:
- Sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
- Boxes of personal belongings, books, clothes and toys
- Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment
- Suitcases, sports equipment and bicycles
- Kitchenware, small appliances and household items
- Stock, marketing materials and exhibition stands
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot store the following:
- Perishable or open food and drink
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including paint, fuel, gas cylinders, fireworks and chemicals)
- Illegal items or anything obtained unlawfully
- Live plants or animals
- Cash, jewellery or high-value collectibles better suited to a safe or specialist facility
- Items that are damp, infested or likely to cause damage to other goods
If you are unsure about a specific item, we will advise you before collection.
Our Step-by-Step Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us with a brief description of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few questions about access, volume and any special items, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and redelivery.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger jobs, we carry out a short video or onsite survey. This helps us estimate the space required, plan parking, choose the right vehicle, and ensure we bring suitable protective materials. It also allows us to flag any access issues, such as narrow staircases or restrictions in Fulham streets.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes or use our professional packing service. On collection day, our trained team carefully wraps furniture in protective covers, uses export-quality blankets, and secures fragile items. We label items clearly so everything is easy to locate and return later.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional movers load your belongings methodically, securing items in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We then transport everything to our secure storage facility, where it is unloaded into your allocated space or container.
5. Storage, Unloading & Placement
On arrival at the facility, goods are unloaded carefully, stacked safely and logged. When you are ready for redelivery, we schedule a convenient slot, load your items back onto the vehicle and deliver them to your chosen address. We place furniture in the rooms you specify and can reassemble items we dismantled for storage.
Transparent, Fair Storage Pricing
We keep pricing straightforward so you always know what you are paying for. Costs are typically based on:
- Volume of goods (cubic feet or number of storage containers)
- Length of storage term (weekly or monthly)
- Collection and redelivery labour and travel time
- Optional services such as packing or dismantling/reassembly
There are no hidden charges. We confirm all rates before you book and provide written confirmation of your storage plan. Longer-term storage and regular business users may benefit from reduced rates.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using a professional removals and storage company offers several important advantages over arranging your own van or using a casual provider:
- Fully insured collection, transport and storage of your belongings
- Trained teams who know how to lift, pack and stack items safely
- Proper blankets, covers and securing methods to prevent damage
- Reliable, documented handling from door to store and back again
- Clear terms and accountability, rather than informal arrangements
This reduces the risk of breakages, injury or disputes, and saves you the time and stress of moving heavy items yourself.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As an established removals company, we work to recognised industry standards and take our duty of care seriously. Our storage service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance while your belongings are being collected or redelivered
- Public liability cover for work carried out at your property
- Trained moving teams following safe lifting and handling practices
- Secure, monitored storage facilities with controlled access
We explain the level of cover included as standard and can discuss additional cover for particularly high-value items where appropriate.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are bagged where needed, and fragile items are carefully padded. Inventories and labelling help avoid misplaced items and make redelivery straightforward.
We also aim to operate as sustainably as we reasonably can. Wherever possible we reuse quality packing materials, choose durable reusable covers instead of excessive single-use plastics, and plan routes sensibly around Fulham to reduce unnecessary mileage.
Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House with a Gap Between Completions
Many Fulham residents find that their sale completes before their purchase. We collect the full contents of the property, store them securely for the required period, then deliver to the new home on moving-in day, minimising stress during an already busy time.
Office Refurbishment or Relocation
When offices are being refitted or relocated, we can remove desks, chairs, filing and equipment, then return them in phases as areas are completed. This keeps the site clear for contractors and protects your assets from dust, damage and opportunistic theft.
Urgent or Last-Minute Storage Needs
Life does not always go to plan. If a sale falls through, a landlord changes timescales, or builders need the space cleared quickly, we can often offer same-day or next-day storage collections in Fulham, subject to availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage in Fulham cost?
Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need and how long you need it for. We price by volume and duration, plus collection and redelivery charges. Smaller loads for a few weeks will be at the lower end, whereas full house contents stored for several months will cost more. Once we know what you have, access details and timescales, we provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras, so you can see exactly what you are paying for before you commit.
Do you offer same-day or urgent storage collections?
Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or short-notice storage collections in Fulham. This is particularly useful if a move falls through, builders bring work forward, or you need to vacate a property more quickly than expected. Availability does vary depending on the day and season, so it is always best to call as early as possible. If we cannot help at the time you request, we will suggest the nearest alternative slot that still meets your deadline.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved and by our standard storage cover while held in our facility, subject to our terms and conditions. This is designed to protect against unexpected events such as fire, flood or theft. We will explain the cover limits and any exclusions before you book. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend you maintain your own specialist insurance as an extra layer of protection alongside our policies.
What is included in your storage service?
Our storage service typically includes collection from your property, careful loading by a professional team, transport to our secure facility, storage for the agreed period, and redelivery to your chosen address. We provide blankets and basic protection as standard. Optional extras include full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and additional protective wrapping for delicate items. We will confirm exactly what is included in your quote so there are no surprises on the day or when your goods are returned.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
Unlike a casual man-and-van, we are a fully insured, established removals company with trained staff, proper equipment and secure, managed storage facilities. We handle everything from planning and packing to inventories and redelivery, rather than simply providing transport. Our procedures are designed to minimise the risk of damage or loss, and you have clear documentation and accountability at every stage. This is particularly important when storing belongings for longer periods or dealing with higher-value household or business items.
How far in advance should I book storage?
Ideally, book as soon as you know you will need storage, especially during busy moving periods such as summer and month-ends. A week or two’s notice usually allows us to offer your preferred date and time, and to arrange a survey for larger jobs. However, we understand that plans change and can often accommodate short-notice or urgent requests in Fulham. Even if your dates are not confirmed, it is worth getting in touch early so we can pencil you in and discuss likely options.
