This local knowledge means:

• Realistic planning around access, lifts and stairways
• Efficient routes to and from your property, saving time and cost

You get a reliable, punctual service from a team that moves people in Addiscombe every day.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Our storage options are suitable for almost anyone who needs extra space, including:

• Homeowners – storing furniture during renovation, decluttering before a sale, or bridging a gap between completion dates.
• Renters – holding belongings between tenancies or when moving into furnished accommodation.
• Landlords – storing furniture and appliances between lets or while refurbishing a property.
• Businesses – keeping documents, stock, seasonal items, exhibition stands or surplus equipment off-site.
• Students – storing belongings over the summer instead of dragging everything home.

What We Can Store

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

• Domestic furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers (clean and defrosted)
• Boxes of clothes, books, toys and personal items
• Office furniture, files and archives
• IT equipment and electronics (carefully wrapped and packed)
• Sports equipment and hobby items

What We Cannot Store

To protect your belongings, our staff and the facility, there are some items we cannot accept:

• Perishable or open food and drink
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles and fuel)
• Illegal goods or items of unknown origin
• Live animals or plants
• Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents
• Strongly scented or leaking items that could damage other goods

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you clearly before collection.

How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with a brief description of what you need to store, where you are in Addiscombe, and how long you expect to need storage. We discuss volumes, access and any special requirements, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and redelivery.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger loads or business storage, we may carry out a short video or onsite survey. This helps us confirm the size of unit required, the number of staff needed and the time involved. It also allows us to plan for stairs, tight corridors or restricted parking so there are no surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed date, our trained team arrives with protective materials. We can offer:

• Part-packing – you pack most items; we wrap furniture and fragile pieces
• Full packing – we pack everything safely into boxes and label each one

Furniture is wrapped in removals blankets and, where appropriate, disassembled for safer storage. Mattresses, sofas and delicate items are covered for protection.

4. Loading & Transport

We carefully carry and load your belongings into our clean, well-maintained vans. Each load is secured to minimise movement in transit. Our vehicles are covered by goods in transit insurance, giving you peace of mind while your possessions are on the road to the storage facility.

5. Storage, Unloading & Return

At the storage site, your items are unloaded into your allocated area or container, stacked to maximise space and protect fragile pieces. When you are ready to have your belongings back, you simply contact us. We arrange a convenient delivery time and return everything to your new property, placing items in the rooms you choose and reassembling furniture where agreed.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our storage charges are based on:

• Volume of goods (how much space you need)
• Length of storage (weekly or monthly rates)
• Collection and redelivery distance and access
• Any optional services, such as packing or furniture assembly

Your quote will show:

• The cost of collection
• The ongoing storage fee
• The estimated cost of redelivery

There are no hidden extras. If your requirements change, we will always discuss any price adjustments with you first.

Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY?

Many people consider hiring a van and putting items into storage themselves. In practice, using a professional removals and storage service usually works out safer, quicker and often more economical.

With us, you benefit from:

• Trained staff who know how to lift, carry and stack safely
• Proper protective materials and equipment
• Less risk of injury or damage to property
• No need to drive a large van through busy Addiscombe streets
• Time saved that you can spend on the rest of your move

A casual man-and-van service may be cheaper on paper, but often lacks adequate insurance, training and accountability. With us, your possessions are handled under clear terms and professional standards.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance while we are moving your items
• Public liability cover for work in and around your property
• Trained moving teams with experience in packing, lifting and loading

We will explain exactly what is covered and any limitations, and we encourage customers to maintain their own home or business insurance for added protection. Our staff are vetted, experienced and supervised to maintain consistent standards.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings as we would our own. Items are wrapped and handled with care, stacked logically and labelled for easier retrieval. We use reusable blankets, durable crates (where requested) and quality packing materials to minimise waste.

Where possible, we choose routes and scheduling that reduce unnecessary mileage, and we reuse or recycle packing materials responsibly. By combining collections and deliveries intelligently, we aim to lower our environmental impact while still offering a flexible service.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

• Moving house – completion dates don’t always line up. We store your contents securely while you wait for keys to your new place.
• Office relocation – keep non-essential equipment and archives off-site while you fit out new premises.
• Urgent moves – if you need to vacate a property quickly, we can remove and store your main items first, then arrange redelivery once you’ve found somewhere new.
• Renovation projects – protect furniture and belongings from dust, paint and damage while builders are in.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with Man with Van Addiscombe cost?

Storage costs depend on how much you need to store, how long for, and the work involved in collection and redelivery. We typically price by the volume of goods (measured in cubic feet or metres) with a weekly or monthly rate, plus a one-off charge for collection and, later, redelivery. During your enquiry we’ll estimate the space required and explain all charges clearly. There are no hidden extras, and if your needs change, we’ll always confirm any price adjustments before going ahead.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in Addiscombe?

Where our schedule allows, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage collections in Addiscombe and nearby areas. This is particularly helpful if a tenancy ends suddenly or a sale completes earlier than expected. The more notice you can give, the better, but we understand that not everything goes to plan. Contact us as soon as you know you need urgent storage and we’ll let you know our earliest availability and provide a clear quote for the emergency service.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your property and the storage facility. The storage facility itself has its own cover and security measures in place. We will outline what is and is not covered so you can make an informed decision. For particularly high-value items, we recommend checking with your home or business insurer to see if they provide additional cover while goods are in storage, or whether you need to extend your policy.

What exactly is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes collection from your property, protective wrapping for furniture, loading and transport to the storage facility, secure storage for the agreed period, and redelivery to your new or existing address when required. We can also provide optional packing services, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and supply of packing materials. During your quote, we’ll specify precisely what is included so you can choose the level of support that suits your budget and schedule.

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

A basic man-and-van usually provides transport only, often without proper insurance, packing materials or structured processes. Our service combines removals expertise with managed storage. You get trained staff, suitable vehicles, goods in transit insurance, and a clear paper trail from collection to redelivery. We plan access, protect items with professional materials, and store them in secure facilities rather than leaving you to deal with everything at a self-storage site. It’s a more reliable, accountable option, especially for whole-house or business contents.

How far in advance should I book storage?

Ideally, you should book storage as soon as you know you’ll need it, particularly during busy moving periods such as summer and month-end. A week or two’s notice usually allows us to offer more choice of dates and times. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we also try to accommodate last-minute requests where possible. Even if your dates are uncertain, it’s worth speaking to us early so we can advise on options and pencil in provisional arrangements.
