Storage in Roehampton by Man and a Van Roehampton
At Man and a Van Roehampton, we provide secure, flexible storage solutions for households, students and businesses across Roehampton and the surrounding areas. Whether you need short-term space between moves or a longer-term option for stock and furniture, our professional, fully insured service keeps your belongings safe and accessible when you need them.
Local, Secure Storage for Roehampton Residents and Businesses
Based in Roehampton, we understand the pressures of moving and living in South West London – limited space, tight timings and busy roads. Our storage service is designed around local needs, with flexible collection times, careful handling and straightforward pricing. We cover Roehampton and nearby areas including Putney, Barnes, Richmond, Wandsworth and beyond.
Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you’re decluttering to sell, renovating, or between homes, we can collect your furniture and boxes, store them securely, then deliver everything when you’re ready to move in. This keeps your property clear and presentable while protecting your belongings.
Renters
Changing rental contracts, downsizing, or moving in with a partner often creates a gap between properties. Our storage is ideal for renters who need a safe place for their possessions for a few weeks or months without committing to long leases.
Landlords
We support landlords who need to clear properties between tenancies, store part-furnished items, or hold furniture while refurbishments take place. We can collect from multiple addresses and return items to suit your schedule.
Businesses
Our storage service is well suited to small and medium businesses needing space for documents, stock, exhibition equipment or surplus office furniture. We offer reliable collections and returns to keep disruption to your operations to a minimum.
Students
Students at Roehampton University and nearby institutions often need short-term storage between term times or during a year abroad. We offer practical, budget-friendly options, including shared storage for groups of friends.
What We Can Store
We handle most general household and office items, including:
- Domestic furniture (beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs)
- Boxes of clothes, books and personal possessions
- Kitchen appliances and small electricals
- Office furniture and equipment
- Archive boxes and business documents
- Sports equipment and hobby items
- Student belongings over the holidays
What Is Excluded from Storage
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot store:
- Hazardous or flammable materials (paint, fuel, gas bottles, chemicals)
- Perishable goods or food items
- Illegal items or anything obtained unlawfully
- Live animals or plants
- Cash, jewellery or high-value collectibles (these are best kept in a safe or bank facility)
- Explosives, firearms or weapons
If you’re unsure whether an item is allowed, we’ll happily advise before collection.
How Our Storage Service Works – Step by Step
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with an outline of what you need to store, your location in or around Roehampton, and how long you expect to need storage. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on volume, access and duration.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
To ensure accurate pricing and the right amount of storage space, we either carry out a quick virtual survey (video call and photos) or visit your property. This helps us assess access, item sizes and any special requirements, such as fragile or bulky pieces.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our team uses sturdy boxes, wrapping materials and protective covers for furniture, mattresses and delicate items. Everything is labelled clearly to make retrieval and redelivery straightforward.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
On the agreed day, our trained team arrives with the right size vehicle. We protect floors and doorways where required, then carefully load your belongings. Items are secured in the van and transported to our chosen storage facility, with goods in transit insurance in place throughout the journey.
5. Unloading, Storage & Future Delivery
At the storage facility, items are unloaded with care and placed into the allocated unit or space. When you’re ready to have everything back, we schedule a delivery from storage to your new address, unloading and placing items into the rooms you choose.
Transparent Pricing for Storage in Roehampton
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Your storage quote will usually include:
- Collection from your property (labour and vehicle)
- Storage charges based on the volume of goods and duration
- Optional packing service and materials
- Redelivery from storage to your chosen address
Costs are influenced by access (stairs, lifts, parking), the total volume of items, and how long you need storage. There are no hidden fees – all likely costs are explained in advance so you can budget with confidence.
Why Use a Professional Storage and Removals Service Instead of DIY?
Storing items yourself can quickly become stressful: hiring a van, lifting heavy furniture, and worrying about damage or loss. By using a professional removals and storage service, you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to lift and protect heavy and fragile items
- Proper protective materials and equipment
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Time savings – we handle the hard work while you focus on your move
- Reduced risk of injury or accidental damage to property
Compared with casual man-and-van operators, we offer clearer contracts, better protection for your belongings and higher service standards.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance while items are being moved between your property and storage
- Public liability cover for work in and around your premises
- Trained, experienced moving teams who follow proven handling procedures
We keep clear records of what goes into storage, and we’re happy to provide copies of insurance details on request. Our aim is to provide peace of mind from start to finish.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take the care of your belongings seriously. Furniture is wrapped and covered, fragile items are cushioned, and loads are secured properly in our vehicles. We also strive to work in a more sustainable way by:
- Reusing sturdy boxes where appropriate
- Recycling packing materials whenever possible
- Planning efficient routes around Roehampton and beyond to cut unnecessary mileage
This approach reduces waste and keeps your items in the best possible condition during storage.
Common Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House with a Gap Between Properties
Chains fall through, completion dates move, and sometimes you have to vacate before the new place is ready. We collect your entire household, store it safely, then deliver on your new completion date, avoiding last-minute panic.
Office Relocations and Refits
Businesses often need to decant furniture and equipment during refurbishments or when downsizing. We can remove, store and return items in phases to keep disruption minimal.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Life doesn’t always give much warning. If you face an unexpected move – relationship changes, urgent landlord requests or emergency works – we can quickly clear and store belongings, giving you time to sort the next step calmly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage in Roehampton cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much you store and for how long. We usually price by volume (the space your items take up) plus collection and redelivery charges. Short-term storage for a few boxes and small items will naturally cost less than a full household over several months. During your enquiry, we’ll ask for details or carry out a survey so we can provide a clear, itemised quote. There are no hidden extras – everything, including optional packing, is explained up front so you can compare options easily.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice collections for storage in Roehampton and nearby areas. This is particularly useful if you have to leave a property quickly or unexpected building works arise. The more notice you can give, the better, but we understand that situations change fast. Call us as soon as you know you need help, and we’ll do our best to schedule a team and vehicle to get your belongings into secure storage promptly.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and transit?
While your items are being moved between your property and the storage facility, they are covered by our goods in transit insurance. We also hold public liability cover for work at your premises. Storage facilities carry their own insurance, but we always recommend that customers check their home or business insurance as additional protection, especially for high-value items. We’re happy to explain what is and isn’t covered and provide documentation so you can make an informed decision about any extra insurance you may wish to arrange.
What’s included in your storage service?
Our standard service includes collection from your address, loading by our trained team, transport to the storage facility under insurance, and careful unloading into the storage space. When you’re ready, it also includes redelivery and unloading at your new property. Optional extras include professional packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of basic furniture, and weekend or out-of-hours moves. We’ll confirm exactly what’s included in your quote so you know precisely what to expect on the day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service may be fine for a few simple items, but for most people putting belongings into storage, protection and reliability are crucial. We provide professional handling, written quotes, clear terms and appropriate insurance. Our teams are trained in lifting techniques and packing methods to minimise the risk of damage. We also take responsibility for coordinating with the storage facility. In short, you’re not just hiring a van; you’re getting an organised, accountable service designed to safeguard your possessions.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. However, we know that plans can change, so we’ll always try to accommodate last-minute requests where our schedule allows. As soon as you suspect you may need storage – for a move, renovation or tenancy change – it’s wise to get in touch. We can provide a provisional plan and then confirm details once your dates are fixed.
