Use our storage if you are decluttering for a sale, in between homes, or carrying out renovations. We can store furniture, appliances, boxes and personal effects until your new property is ready.

Landlords use our storage service to hold furniture between tenancies, store surplus items, or clear properties temporarily for refurbishment. We can coordinate access with your agents and tenants.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of what you need to store, your location in West Ealing, and how long you think you will need storage. We ask a few simple questions about volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, written quote covering collection, transport, storage, and redelivery.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger jobs or where access is tricky, we recommend a short survey. This can be done virtually via video call or onsite if needed. The survey helps us accurately assess the volume, decide which vehicle and equipment to use, and estimate timings so there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
On collection day, our trained team arrives with protective materials. We can offer full or partial packing services, or simply wrap and protect your larger items. Furniture is covered with removal blankets; fragile items can be packed into boxes and clearly labelled. We ensure everything is prepared properly for safe storage.
4. Loading & Transport
We carefully load your belongings into our vehicles, securing everything to prevent movement in transit. Our team works efficiently while treating your items with care. Once loaded, we transport directly to the chosen storage facility, using secure, well-maintained vehicles suitable for West Ealing’s roads and access points.
5. Unloading & Placement into Storage
At the storage facility, we unload and stack your items safely, using a logical layout so we can easily access them when you are ready for redelivery. Inventories or item lists can be created on request. When you need your items back, you simply contact us, and we reverse the process with delivery and placement in your new property.
Transparent Pricing for Storage in West Ealing
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Your quote will typically include:
- Collection: vehicle, fuel and labour for our moving team
- Storage: weekly or monthly rate based on the space required
- Redelivery: transport and labour to return items when requested
Prices depend on volume, access, distance and storage duration. There are no hidden extras – any additional costs, such as packing materials or extra labour for heavy items, are explained clearly in advance.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Doing storage yourself often means multiple trips, hiring a van, lifting heavy furniture, and risking damage. Casual man-and-van operators may be cheaper upfront, but they often lack insurance, training and proper equipment.
With Man with Van West Ealing you get a professional, planned service from start to finish. Our team is trained in safe lifting and loading techniques, we use appropriate protective materials, and we are fully covered with goods in transit and public liability insurance. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, injury, and unexpected costs.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, so we take protection seriously:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while we are transporting them between your property and the storage facility.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to property or third parties during our work.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in removals and storage handling, using correct lifting methods and protective materials.
We follow industry best practices for wrapping, stacking and storing items, and maintain clear communication from booking through to final delivery.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your possessions as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are protected, and fragile items receive extra care. We use durable, reusable materials such as moving blankets and crates where possible to reduce waste.
Where single-use materials are required, we aim to choose recyclable options and minimise unnecessary packaging. Efficient route planning around West Ealing also helps reduce fuel usage and our overall environmental impact.
Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House
When completion dates do not line up, our storage gives you breathing space. We collect everything from your old home, store it safely, and deliver to your new address once you receive the keys.
Office Relocation
Businesses often need temporary storage while fitting out a new office or reconfiguring their existing space. We can phase collections and deliveries to match your project schedule, avoiding disruption to staff and customers.
Urgent or Short-Notice Storage
Sometimes life moves faster than expected – a sudden sale, emergency repairs, or an unexpected move-out date. Subject to availability, we can arrange same-day or next-day collections in West Ealing and get your items into storage quickly and safely.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage with collection and delivery cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much you are storing, how easy access is at your property, and how long you need storage. We usually combine a one-off charge for collection and loading with a weekly or monthly storage fee, plus a final redelivery cost. To keep things fair, we tailor each quote rather than using a one-size-fits-all price. If you can provide photos or a list of items, we can usually give an accurate estimate quickly and confirm it after a brief survey.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in West Ealing?
Where our schedule allows, we can arrange same-day or next-day collections for urgent storage needs in West Ealing. This is often possible during quieter periods, but availability can be tighter at weekends and month-end. If you need urgent help, contact us as early in the day as you can, with details of what needs storing and any access limitations. We will give you an honest answer on what’s achievable and propose the quickest, most practical option.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and transit?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them between your property and the storage facility. We also hold public liability cover for our work on-site. Standard storage providers usually have their own building and liability insurance, but cover for the contents can vary. We will explain exactly what is included and, if necessary, suggest additional cover for particularly valuable items. We always recommend you check your home or business insurance too, as some policies include off-site storage protection.
What is included in your storage service?
Our standard service includes collection from your address, loading your items into our vehicle, transport to the storage facility, and careful unloading into your allocated space. We provide basic protective materials such as blankets and straps as part of the service. Optional extras include packing boxes, full or partial packing of your belongings, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and detailed inventories. When you are ready, we also organise redelivery from storage back to your new or existing address, with placement of items in the rooms you specify.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often on a cash basis, with limited paperwork and little or no insurance. Our service is a structured, professional operation: written quotes, clear terms, trained staff, and proper cover for your belongings. We handle planning, protection, and coordination with the storage facility, rather than just turning up with a van. For many customers, the peace of mind and reduced risk of damage or disputes is worth far more than the small difference in price.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For planned moves or renovations, booking one to two weeks ahead is ideal, especially if you need a specific date or weekend slot. During particularly busy times, such as the end of the month and summer moves, earlier booking helps guarantee availability. That said, we understand plans change, and we always try to accommodate last-minute requests where possible. If your timings are uncertain, we can hold provisional dates and confirm closer to the time, subject to schedule and storage space.
