Homeowners

Ideal if you are moving house, renovating, decluttering for sale, or in a property chain. Store furniture, appliances, personal items and boxes safely until your new home is ready.

Renters

If you are between tenancies, relocating temporarily, or moving into a smaller property, we can store excess furniture and possessions securely for as long as you need.

Landlords

Use our storage to hold furniture during refurbishments, keep spare items off-site, or clear a property quickly between tenants without having to dispose of good-quality items.

Businesses

From sole traders to small offices, our business storage is ideal for documents, stock, exhibition materials, seasonal items and office furniture, with planned collections and deliveries to suit your schedule.

Students

Our student storage is perfect for term-time moves, summer holidays, or gap years. We collect from halls or private accommodation, store safely, and deliver back next term or to your next address.

How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with an outline of what you need to store, when, and for how long. We ask a few questions about volume, access and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and eventual redelivery.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger or more complex jobs, we arrange a virtual video survey or an onsite visit in Merton Park. This allows us to assess access, parking, the volume of goods and any packing requirements, so we can allocate the right vehicle, team and storage space.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed date, our trained movers arrive with protective materials. We can provide a full packing service or simply protect larger items. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are covered, and fragile items are carefully boxed. Everything is labelled for easy identification in storage and on return.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

We load your items methodically, using blankets and strapping where needed to prevent movement in transit. Your goods are then transported directly to our storage facility. The same professional team that packs your items handles them into storage, reducing the risk of damage.

5. Unloading, Storage & Final Delivery

On arrival, we unload into your allocated storage space, keeping items grouped and labelled. When you are ready for your goods back, we schedule a return date, load from storage and deliver to your new address, placing items into the rooms you specify.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We aim for clear, straightforward pricing so you know exactly what you are paying for. Our quotes typically include:

• Collection from your property in Merton Park or nearby
• Protective materials used on the day (with optional full packing service)
• Weekly or monthly storage charges based on volume
• Redelivery from storage to your chosen address

Prices depend on the volume of goods, access, distance, and how long you need storage. We break down costs so you can see the difference between one-off moving charges and ongoing storage fees, with no hidden extras.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY

Using a professional storage and removals company offers significant advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:

• Your items are packed, handled and moved by trained staff
• We provide suitable vehicles and protective materials
• Storage is in a secure, monitored facility – not a shed or garage
• Items are correctly inventoried and labelled for easy return
• You are covered by goods in transit insurance during moves

This reduces the risk of damage, loss, injury and unexpected costs compared with ad-hoc or DIY solutions.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and we treat them accordingly. Man with Van Merton Park operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance while items are being moved to and from storage
• Public liability cover for work carried out at your property
• Trained teams experienced in handling furniture, appliances and fragile items

We follow established industry practices for packing, lifting and loading, and we are happy to explain how cover applies to your particular job before you book.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We handle your items carefully and look after the environment where we can. We use reusable transit blankets, re-use strong cartons where appropriate, and can provide sturdy, recyclable packing materials. Furniture and mattresses are wrapped or bagged to protect against dust and scuffs, and we load vehicles to minimise movement in transit.

Where possible, we consolidate deliveries and collections in Merton Park and nearby areas to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions, without compromising on punctuality.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House with a Gap Between Dates

If you have to move out before you can move in, we collect all your belongings, store them securely, then deliver to your new home on the completion date. You avoid double-handling and short-term accommodation full of boxes.

Office Refurbishment or Relocation

Businesses use our storage when refreshing offices, moving premises or downsizing. Desks, chairs, IT equipment and archives can be held safely off-site for as long as needed, with phased returns if required.

Urgent Storage When Plans Change

Sometimes moves fall through or dates change at short notice. Subject to availability, we can provide fast, sometimes same-day, collection and storage, giving you breathing space while you rearrange your plans.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Merton Park cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you need it for, and whether you require collection and packing. We usually price storage by volume, with a minimum weekly or monthly charge, and provide a clear breakdown of any one-off moving costs. To give you an accurate figure, we ask for a list of items or carry out a quick virtual survey. There are no hidden fees, and we confirm all costs in writing before you decide to go ahead.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?

In many cases, yes. If we have vehicle and storage space available, we can arrange same-day or next-day collection in Merton Park and nearby areas. This is particularly useful if a move falls through, completion is delayed, or you need to clear a property quickly. The more information you can give us when you call, the faster we can confirm availability and pricing. For larger jobs, we may still need a brief virtual survey, but we keep the process as swift as possible.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved to and from storage, and we also hold public liability cover for work on your premises. Standard cover is usually sufficient for most customers, but we encourage you to tell us about any unusually high-value items so we can advise properly. We can outline the limits and conditions of our insurance before you book, and you are always free to arrange additional cover through your own insurer if you wish.

What is included in your storage service?

Our storage service typically includes collection from your property, protective wrapping for furniture, careful loading, transport to our facility, and secure storage for the agreed period. When you are ready, we also arrange redelivery and placement in your new home or office. Optional extras include full packing of all your boxes and the supply of packing materials. We set out exactly what is and is not included in your quote so you can compare options and choose the level of help that suits you best.

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

A casual man-and-van will usually only move items from A to B, often without formal insurance, contracts or secure storage. By contrast, we offer a managed service: trained staff, planned collections, proper packing, secure facilities and documented inventory. You know where your goods are, who is handling them, and what cover is in place. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes and gives you a reliable point of contact throughout your storage period.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best availability and pricing, it is wise to book at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy moving periods such as the end of the month or summer. However, we understand that plans can change suddenly, so we always try to help with short-notice and urgent requests. The sooner you contact us with your dates and a rough idea of volume, the easier it is for us to reserve the right vehicle, team and storage space for your job.
