Local Wimbledon Storage Specialists

Based in Wimbledon, we understand the challenges of finding reliable storage in South West London. From tight access on residential streets to controlled entry in apartment blocks and offices, our experienced drivers and porters know the local routes, parking restrictions and building layouts. That local knowledge helps us move your goods into storage quickly and safely, with minimal disruption to your day.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

If you're selling, downsizing or waiting for your new home to be ready, our storage service is ideal for keeping furniture, appliances and personal effects safe between completion dates. We can collect directly from your property and deliver back to your new address when you're ready.

Renters

Tenancy ending but your new place isn't available yet? Avoid rushing or getting rid of items you still need. We offer flexible storage for a few days, weeks or months, with convenient collection and redelivery to suit your move-in date.

Landlords

Landlords often need a secure place to keep furniture during refurbishments or while switching from furnished to unfurnished lets. Our fully insured storage means you can clear a property quickly, complete the work, then have items brought back only when needed.

Businesses

From office furniture to archived files and stock, our business storage is designed for companies that need extra space without committing to a larger premises. We can arrange regular collections and deliveries, and handle the heavy lifting so your team can focus on their work.

Students

Students in Wimbledon and nearby universities often need storage between terms or during a year abroad. Instead of hauling everything home, let us collect your boxes, suitcases, bikes and small furniture, keep them safe, and bring them back when term starts.

What We Can Store

We handle a wide range of household and business items, including:

• Domestic furniture: sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
• Appliances: washing machines, fridges, freezers, microwaves
• Boxes of personal belongings, clothes and books
• Office desks, chairs, cabinets and shelving
• IT equipment and peripherals (carefully packed and labelled)
• Tools, equipment and small machinery (clean and drained of fuel)
• Bicycles, sports equipment and hobby items

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we cannot place into storage:

• Perishable food or items that could rot or attract pests
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles, paint thinners, petrol and chemicals)
• Illegal items or anything that breaches UK law
• Live animals, plants or any living organisms
• Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents (these are better kept in a safe or with a specialist)
• Items that are excessively damp, infested or contaminated

If you're unsure about a particular item, our team will gladly advise before collection.

How Our Storage Service Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with a brief description of what you need to store, your location and your timescales. We'll ask a few questions about access and the nature of your items, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and redelivery.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger loads or more complex jobs, we may recommend a short virtual survey (video call) or an onsite visit. This allows us to assess volumes accurately, check access (stairs, lifts, parking) and plan the right size vehicle and team. Accurate surveying helps avoid surprises on the day and ensures fair pricing.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our teams use quality cartons, bubble wrap and furniture blankets to protect your goods for storage. Mattresses and sofas can be covered, and fragile items carefully wrapped and labelled. We create a basic inventory so you always know what's in storage.

4. Loading & Transport

On collection day, our trained movers arrive on time with the appropriate vehicle. We protect floors and walls where needed, then load your items securely using blankets, straps and trolleys. Everything is transported directly to our partner storage facility using our fully insured vehicles with goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading, Storage & Redelivery

At the storage facility, your belongings are unloaded carefully and placed in clean, dry units or containers. When you're ready, simply book a redelivery slot. We retrieve your items, load them back onto our vehicles and deliver to your new address, placing furniture and boxes in the rooms you specify.

Transparent, Fair Storage Pricing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Your total cost typically consists of:

• Collection fee – vehicle, fuel and labour for the pickup
• Storage fee – based on the volume of goods and length of stay
• Redelivery fee – vehicle and labour for delivering your items back

Storage can be arranged on a weekly or monthly basis, with discounts often available for longer-term bookings. Before you commit, you'll receive a written breakdown so you know exactly what you're paying for and how to keep costs within your budget.

Why Use a Professional Storage Service Instead of DIY?

Many people consider hiring a van and finding self-storage themselves. In practice, working with a professional storage and removals company offers several advantages:

• Time saving – we handle packing, lifting, loading and transport in one go
• Safety – trained teams reduce the risk of injury and damage to belongings
• Proper protection – correct packing materials, straps and blankets used as standard
• Insurance – your goods are covered in transit and within the facility
• Planning – we schedule everything around your move dates and building access times

Compared with casual man-and-van operators, our service includes documented procedures, insurance cover and well-maintained vehicles, giving you greater peace of mind.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We take the responsibility of looking after your belongings seriously. As a fully insured operator, we maintain:

• Goods in transit insurance – protecting your items while being moved to and from storage
• Public liability cover – covering accidental damage to third-party property or injury
• Trained moving teams – staff are experienced in lifting techniques, packing and safe loading

We follow industry best practices for inventory, handling and security. If you have particularly high-value or delicate items, we can discuss additional measures and documentation.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Our approach is based on careful handling and respect for your belongings. We use padded covers, floor protection and strong cartons to prevent damage, and we load methodically to avoid crushing or unnecessary strain on items.

We also aim to work in a sustainable way where possible by:

• Reusing good-quality packing materials on multiple jobs where appropriate
• Offering durable plastic crates as an alternative to single-use boxes
• Planning routes efficiently to reduce fuel consumption
• Recycling cardboard and other materials at the end of their life

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House with a Gap Between Completions

Wimbledon homeowners often find themselves completing on a sale before their purchase is ready. We collect the full house contents, store them securely for the gap period, and then deliver to the new property on the agreed date, making the chain far less stressful.

Office Refurbishment or Relocation

Businesses upgrading or relocating premises use our storage to keep desks, IT, and stock out of the way during building works. We can phase collections and deliveries so your team remains operational, and we handle the heavy lifting around your working hours.

Urgent or Last-Minute Storage

Eviction notices, sudden job relocations or unexpected building issues sometimes mean you need storage at short notice. Where availability allows, we can arrange same-day or next-day collection in Wimbledon, giving you a safe, immediate solution rather than rushing to dispose of belongings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with Man with Van Wimbledon cost?

Costs depend on three main factors: how much you store, how long for, and how far we need to travel to collect and deliver your items. We typically charge a fixed collection fee based on vehicle size and labour, a weekly or monthly storage rate linked to the volume of goods, and a separate redelivery fee. We’ll provide a clear written quote after discussing your requirements or completing a short survey, so you know exactly what you’ll pay before you commit.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in Wimbledon?

Yes, subject to availability we can often arrange same-day or next-day collection into storage for Wimbledon customers. Urgent bookings are common when tenancies end suddenly, completion dates move, or building works overrun. The more notice you can give us, the better, but we’ll always do our best to accommodate short-notice requests. Call us as soon as you know you need help and we’ll confirm what’s possible, any time constraints, and provide a fast, realistic quote.

Are my belongings insured while in storage and transit?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your property and the storage facility. We also hold public liability cover for additional protection. The storage facility itself has its own security and insurance arrangements. We’ll explain the level of cover included as standard and, if needed, suggest options for topping up in line with the value of your goods. We always recommend you keep an inventory and highlight any particularly high-value pieces.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes professional collection from your property, careful loading and transport, secure storage in a clean, dry facility, and redelivery to your chosen address when required. We handle the lifting, provide blankets and basic protection, and keep items organised for easy retrieval. Optional extras include full packing, supply of boxes and materials, and dismantling or reassembly of furniture. Before booking, we’ll agree exactly what’s included so expectations are clear on both sides.

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

A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with limited or no insurance, basic equipment and little accountability. Our service provides a complete, managed solution: trained staff, fully insured vehicles, appropriate packing and handling, secure storage facilities, and clear processes from enquiry through to redelivery. We also carry out surveys for larger jobs and provide written documentation. This more structured approach significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For planned moves or refurbishments, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busier periods such as the summer and month-end. This allows us to complete any surveys, confirm vehicle sizes and ensure the right amount of storage space is reserved. However, we understand plans can change quickly, so we also handle last-minute jobs whenever we have capacity. If you know your dates, it’s always best to get in touch as early as possible.
