If your tenancy dates don’t line up, or you’re moving into a furnished place and need to store existing furniture, we provide flexible storage with no long-term tie-in.

Landlords

Use our storage when changing tenants, refurbishing, or holding furniture for future lets. We can collect from multiple addresses in Ealing and consolidate items into one storage unit.

We help local businesses store archive files, seasonal stock, event equipment and spare furniture. Our team can label and organise items for easy retrieval and future deliveries.

How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with details of what you need to store, for how long, and your collection address in Ealing. We ask a few questions about volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and timings, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger loads or whole properties, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an in-person visit, depending on your preference. The survey allows us to estimate storage volume accurately, plan the right vehicle and team, and spot any access issues in advance.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or choose our professional packing service. If you opt for packing, our team will bring all materials and carefully wrap fragile and high-value items. Furniture can be dismantled where needed for safe storage, and everything is clearly labelled for easy identification and redelivery.

4. Loading & Transport

On collection day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and bannisters as required, and loads your belongings safely into the van. Items are inventoried and secured for transport to our storage facility. Throughout, your goods are protected by goods in transit insurance.

5. Storage, Unloading & Placement

On arrival at the storage facility, your items are unloaded into a clean, dry and secure storage unit or container. We arrange your belongings logically so that any items you may need sooner are accessible. When you’re ready, we schedule redelivery back to your home, office or new address and place items into the rooms you specify.

Transparent, Fair Storage Pricing

We keep our pricing straightforward, with no unpleasant surprises. Costs are typically made up of:

• Collection and loading fee – based on time, team size and access
• Storage charge – usually a weekly or monthly rate based on the space you use
• Optional packing materials and packing service
• Redelivery fee – similar to collection, based on distance and time

Because we carry out a survey where necessary, we can give clear estimates for the entire period you expect to store. If your plans change, we’ll adjust the storage term so you only pay for the time and space you actually use.

Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY?

Using a professional removals and storage service offers several advantages over hiring a van or using basic self-storage alone:

• Reduced risk of damage – experienced handling, correct lifting techniques and proper stacking
• Time-saving – no multiple trips, no need to carry heavy items up and down corridors yourself
• Insurance cover – your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance during moves
• Professional packing – if you choose this, we use quality materials and proven methods
• Less stress – one point of contact for collection, storage and redelivery

For larger or more valuable loads, professional handling usually works out better value than doing it all yourself, once you factor in time, equipment and the cost of potential breakages.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously. Ealing Man and Van provides:

• Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they’re being moved
• Public liability cover – for peace of mind at your home, office or building
• Trained moving teams – experienced in lifting, packing and securing loads safely

We follow industry best practice in lifting, packing and vehicle loading, and we regularly maintain our vehicles and equipment to keep everything running reliably.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to protect both your belongings and the environment:

• Use of high-quality blankets, straps and covers to minimise movement and scuffing
• Careful disassembly and reassembly of furniture as needed
• Re-useable crates and blankets wherever possible to cut down on waste
• Recycling of packing materials at the end of each job where facilities allow
• Efficient route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House with a Gap Between Dates

If your completion dates don’t line up, we can remove your belongings from your old property, store them securely for the gap period, then deliver them to your new home on the agreed date.

Office Refurbishment or Relocation

Businesses in Ealing often use our storage when refurbishing offices or moving to new premises. We can remove furniture, IT equipment and documents, store them during works, and reinstall everything to your floor plan afterwards.

Urgent or Last-Minute Storage

Sometimes things change quickly – unexpected tenancy endings, urgent repairs or a sudden sale. Subject to availability, we can often provide same-day or rapid collection and storage to help you manage these situations calmly and safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Ealing cost?

Costs depend on three main factors: how much you’re storing, how long for, and the access at your property. There is a one-off fee for collection and loading, a weekly or monthly storage charge based on the space you use, and a similar fee for redelivery at the end. For smaller loads, this can be very cost-effective compared to hiring a van and a separate self-storage unit. We’re happy to provide a clear, itemised quote once we understand your requirements.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?

In many cases, yes. If we have vehicle and unit availability, we can arrange same-day or next-day collection and storage in Ealing. This is particularly useful if a tenancy ends sooner than expected, work is needed at short notice, or you need to clear space quickly for a sale or event. The more notice you can give us, the better, but we will always do our best to work with your timescales and find a practical solution.

Are my belongings insured while in storage and transit?

Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your property and our storage facility. We also hold public liability cover for work in and around your home or business. Standard storage insurance covers typical household and office goods; very high-value or unusual items may need to be discussed in advance so we can clarify cover. We always recommend that you also keep your own home or business insurance in place while items are in storage.

What’s included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes professional collection from your Ealing address, careful loading and securing of your goods, transport to our storage facility, and unloading into a suitable unit or container. Redelivery back to your chosen address is also available and quoted for at the outset. Optional extras include packing materials, a professional packing service, and dismantling or reassembling larger furniture. We discuss all of this upfront so you can choose the level of help you need.

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

A casual man-and-van usually just moves items from A to B, often without formal insurance, trained staff or a long-term storage option. Self-storage requires you to arrange your own transport, loading and unloading, and you handle all the lifting yourself. With Ealing Man and Van, you get a professional removals team, insured transport, organised storage, and coordinated redelivery – all managed by one company. This reduces the risk of damage, saves time and offers a more reliable, accountable service.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of collection dates and unit sizes, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly during busy moving periods such as month-end and summer. However, we understand that situations change quickly, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. If you know approximate dates but they’re not confirmed, we can hold provisional slots and adjust once your plans are finalised, helping you stay flexible while still securing capacity.
