Secure Storage in Roehampton with Man with Van Roehampton

At Man with Van Roehampton we offer secure, flexible storage solutions designed around real-life moves and everyday space problems. Whether you are between properties, renovating, decluttering or running out of office space, we combine professional removals expertise with safe, well-managed storage so your belongings are protected from start to finish.

Professional Storage Services in Roehampton

Our storage service is built on years of hands-on removals experience across Roehampton and South West London. We collect your items, pack them properly, transport them safely and place them into clean, secure storage units or containers. When you are ready, we deliver everything back to your new address, exactly where you want it.

Unlike basic self-storage, our service is fully supported by trained removals staff, using professional equipment, protective materials and well-maintained vehicles. You only pay for the space and time you actually need.

Local Roehampton Knowledge You Can Rely On

Working in Roehampton every day means we understand local streets, estates and parking restrictions, from Roehampton Village and the Alton Estate to Putney Heath and surrounding areas. This local expertise helps us plan efficient access to your property and storage, saving time and reducing the risk of delays or damage.

We regularly support customers moving to and from Roehampton University halls, flats near Richmond Park, and family homes across SW15 and nearby postcodes, so we know the typical property layouts, stairs, lifts and loading points very well.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are selling, buying or renovating, storage can bridge the gap between completion dates or protect furniture from dust and damage during building work. We collect, store and redeliver when your home is ready.

Renters

Short-term lets, landlord changes or moving back home for a period can all create awkward overlaps. Our flexible storage lets you keep your belongings safe without paying for an extra property or cramming everything into a friend’s garage.

Landlords

We help landlords clear and store furniture between tenancies, or hold items while properties are refurbished. We can work directly with letting agents and provide clear documentation and inventory support.

Businesses

From small offices to local retailers, we offer storage for documents, stock, furniture and equipment. Combined with our removals vehicles, we can support office moves, seasonal stock storage or temporary downsizing.

Students

Students at Roehampton University and nearby campuses use our student-friendly storage between terms, gap years or placements. We collect from halls or shared houses, store safely and deliver back when you return.

What We Can Store

Our storage service is suitable for most household and business items, including:

• Household furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, drawers
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers
• Electronics – TVs, computers, audio equipment (properly packed)
• Boxes, suitcases and personal belongings
• Office furniture and filing cabinets
• Archive boxes and business documents
• Shop fittings, display units and non-perishable stock

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot store:

• Perishable or open food and drink
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (e.g. fuel, gas bottles, paint thinners)
• Illegal items or anything obtained unlawfully
• Live plants, animals or other living creatures
• Cash, high-value jewellery or important documents best kept in a safe or bank
• Items that are excessively damp, mouldy or infested with pests

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you during the quotation stage so there are no surprises on the day.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with your storage requirements – what you need to store, where from, and for how long. We ask a few simple questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and re-delivery if required.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger jobs or whole-house contents, we may carry out a brief virtual or onsite survey. This helps us judge access, parking, volume and any special items such as pianos or large wardrobes, ensuring we send the right vehicle, team and materials.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the collection day, our professional team can supply packing materials and, if requested, provide a full or partial packing service. Furniture is wrapped in protective covers; fragile items are carefully boxed and labelled. We can also dismantle larger items where needed.

4. Loading & Transport

Your belongings are loaded methodically onto our vehicles using blankets, straps and trolleys. Everything is securely positioned to minimise movement in transit. We then transport your goods directly to our chosen storage facility.

5. Unloading & Storage Placement

At the storage site, items are unloaded and placed into your allocated unit or container in an organised way. We can work from an inventory if you need specific access later. When your storage period ends, we simply reverse the process and deliver everything to your new address.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Your quote will typically include:

• Collection from your Roehampton or surrounding address
• Labour for loading and unloading
• Transport to and from storage
• Storage charges based on space and duration
• Optional packing materials and packing service

Costs depend mainly on volume (how much you store), access (stairs, parking, distance to vehicle) and how long you need storage. There are no hidden call-out fees. We explain all charges clearly before you book so you can plan your budget with confidence.

Why Use a Professional Storage & Removals Service?

Using a professional storage and removals team provides several advantages over DIY or a casual man-and-van:

• Trained staff who know how to lift, protect and stack items safely
• Proper wrapping, padding and securing to reduce the risk of damage
• Reliable timing and planning rather than last-minute cancellations
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for peace of mind
• Coordinated collection, storage and re-delivery instead of juggling multiple companies

While DIY can seem cheaper, the cost of damaged furniture, lost items or injury often works out higher in the long run.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We operate to professional standards and back our work with appropriate insurance.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being transported to and from storage (within policy limits and terms).
• Public liability cover – protects against damage to property or third parties during our work.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in handling heavy, fragile and awkward items safely and respectfully.

We are happy to explain insurance details and limitations in plain language so you know exactly how your items are protected.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your possessions as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are covered, and fragile items are clearly marked and carefully stacked. We use quality blankets and protective equipment, and we avoid overloading boxes or units.

Where possible, we use reusable packing materials and recycle cardboard and plastics responsibly. Efficient route planning and sensible loading reduce unnecessary journeys and fuel use, helping to minimise environmental impact while still providing a dependable service.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

Chains fall through, dates change and completion can be delayed. Our storage service keeps your belongings safe while you stay in temporary accommodation or wait for your new property to be ready.

Office Relocations

Businesses often need interim storage during fit-outs, refurbishments or downsizing. We can store desks, chairs, IT equipment and archives, then return them once your new layout is complete.

Urgent or Last-Minute Storage

Sometimes a move changes suddenly – notice from a landlord, a sale that completes quicker than expected, or emergency repairs. Subject to availability, we can arrange swift collection and short-notice storage to get you out of a tight spot.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with collection and delivery cost?

Costs vary depending on how much you store, how long for, and the access at your property. Typically, you will pay a collection fee covering the vehicle and labour, plus a weekly or monthly storage charge based on volume. If you need items returned, there will be a separate re-delivery fee. We always provide a written, itemised quote before you commit, so you know exactly what is included and can compare options. There are no hidden extras; packing materials and packing services are clearly priced.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage in Roehampton?

Subject to availability, we can often help with same-day or very short-notice storage, particularly for smaller loads or student moves. The more information you can give us when you call – such as number of rooms, key items and access details – the faster we can respond and confirm a slot. Peak times, like weekends and month-end, can book up quickly, but we will always try to offer a practical solution or an earliest possible alternative if same-day is not feasible.

Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?

We provide goods in transit insurance for your items while they are being moved to and from storage, and we hold public liability cover for our work on-site. Storage facilities themselves also carry their own insurance, but this usually complements rather than replaces your own contents cover. We encourage customers to check any home or business insurance policies to see what is already included. We are happy to explain, in plain terms, what our policies cover, any limits that apply, and how to ensure higher-value items are adequately protected.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard service includes collection from your address, loading by a trained team, transport to the storage facility and careful placement of items in your allocated space. We use protective blankets and equipment as part of the service. Optional extras include packing materials, a full or partial packing service, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and eventual re-delivery from storage to your new address. We tailor each job to your needs, so you only pay for what you actually use, rather than a fixed one-size-fits-all package.

How is this different from a basic man-and-van or DIY storage?

A casual man-and-van may simply move items from A to B with limited protection and no structured storage support. With us, you get professional, trained staff, proper packing, documented storage arrangements and insurance in place. We plan access, bring the right equipment, and handle heavier or fragile items safely. DIY might appear cheaper, but often involves multiple trips, risk of damage, and personal injury from lifting. Our service is designed to be efficient, safe and accountable from the first box loaded to the final box delivered back.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking as soon as you know you will need storage – ideally one to three weeks ahead, especially during busy periods such as summer, month-ends and university term changes. However, we understand that moves do not always go to plan, so we will always try to accommodate short-notice requests. Even if your dates are uncertain, it is worth getting a quote and pencilling in provisional arrangements, which we can adjust once your plans are confirmed.
