Who Our New Malden Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are between house moves, renovating, or decluttering to sell, our storage gives you a safe place to keep furniture, white goods, and personal items. We can collect directly from your property and return everything once your new home is ready.

Renters

Moving between rentals, heading abroad for work, or downsizing? Store your possessions securely for as long as you need. We can work around tenancy dates to ensure you are not rushed or forced to get rid of items you want to keep.

Landlords

Landlords often need temporary storage during refurbishments, between tenancies, or when changing a property from furnished to unfurnished. We collect, store, and redeliver furniture and appliances, helping you keep void periods and disruption to a minimum.

Businesses

From stock and promotional materials to office furniture and archived files, our storage is ideal for local businesses. We support office refurbishments, relocations, seasonal stock changes and overflow storage, with flexible access and clear invoicing.

Students

Students in and around New Malden can avoid dragging belongings home between terms. We can collect from your accommodation, store over the holidays, and bring everything back when the new term starts.

What We Can and Cannot Store

Items Commonly Stored

We can safely store most household and business items, including:

• Furniture (sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs)
• White goods (fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers)
• Electronics and IT equipment
• Clothing, books, and personal effects
• Business stock, marketing materials, and equipment
• Tools, hobby equipment, sports gear and bicycles
• Archive boxes and documents

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal, and insurance reasons, there are some things we are unable to store:

• Perishable or opened food and drink
• Flammable, explosive, or hazardous materials (including gas bottles, paint thinners, fireworks)
• Illegal goods or items of unknown origin
• Live plants or animals

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will happily advise before collection.

How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with details of what you need to store, approximate quantities, and dates. We ask a few simple questions about access, item types, and your timescales. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation covering collection, storage, and eventual redelivery.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex jobs, we carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This lets us assess the volume accurately, plan the right vehicle, number of movers, and suitable storage space. It also helps us foresee any access challenges, parking requirements, or special handling needs.

3. Packing & Preparation

On collection day, our professional team arrives with protective materials. We can offer a full packing service, or simply wrap and protect larger pieces. Mattresses are bagged, furniture is blanket-wrapped, and delicate items are carefully packed in boxes. Everything is labelled and inventoried so it can be easily located and returned later.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

We load your items securely onto our vehicles using transit blankets, straps, and appropriate stacking methods to prevent movement and damage. Our drivers then transport your belongings directly to our storage facility, where they are unloaded into your allocated unit or container.

5. Storage, Unloading & Return Delivery

Your goods are placed in clean, dry, secure storage. When you are ready for your items back, we schedule a convenient delivery date. Our team reloads your belongings, delivers them to your new address, and places them in the rooms you specify, helping you settle in more quickly.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe storage pricing should be simple and easy to understand. Our quotes usually include:

• Collection from your property (including labour and vehicle costs)
• Weekly or monthly storage charges based on the volume or unit size
• Optional packing materials and packing service
• Redelivery from storage to your chosen address

There are no hidden extras: any potential parking, out-of-hours, or access-related charges are discussed in advance. We can often reduce your costs by optimising how items are packed and stored, so you only pay for the space you actually need.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY Options

Using a professional storage and removals company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or relying on a casual man-and-van:

• Trained teams who know how to lift, carry, and protect items correctly
• Fully insured operation with appropriate goods in transit and public liability cover
• Purpose-planned vehicles and protective equipment to minimise damage
• Streamlined collection and redelivery so you do not need to hire vans or make multiple trips
• Clear paperwork, inventory, and invoicing for your records

DIY storage can appear cheaper at first glance, but once you factor in van hire, fuel, time off work, and the risk of damage or injury, professional storage often represents better value and far less hassle.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important to you, so we treat them with the care they deserve. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance while we are transporting your items between your property and the storage facility
• Public liability cover to protect you and your property while we are on-site
• Trained and vetted moving teams who follow established handling and safety procedures

We are committed to working to recognised industry standards, with properly maintained vehicles, appropriate lifting equipment, and methodical planning for every job.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take a careful, responsible approach to every storage job. All items are protected with blankets, covers, and wrapping as needed. Furniture is stacked to avoid stress points, and boxes are clearly marked to prevent crushing. We also reuse durable packing materials where appropriate and recycle cardboard and plastics to reduce waste.

Where we can, we plan routes efficiently to minimise fuel use and congestion, supporting a more sustainable way of working while still providing a reliable local service.

Real-World Storage Scenarios We Handle

Moving House

Completion dates do not always line up. If you must move out before your new property is ready, we can collect and store your entire household, then deliver everything once the keys are in your hand. This avoids rushed decisions and emergency arrangements.

Office Refurbishment or Relocation

For businesses carrying out refits, relocations, or reconfigurations, we can store desks, chairs, filing cabinets, and IT equipment. We work around your schedule to minimise disruption, including early morning or weekend moves by agreement.

Urgent or Short-Notice Storage

Life does not always give much notice. If a sale completes faster than expected, a tenancy ends, or you face an unexpected event, we can often arrange urgent collection and storage at short notice, subject to availability. Our local presence in New Malden means we can respond quickly when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with Man with Van New Malden cost?

Storage costs depend on three main factors: how much space you need, how long you need it for, and the level of service required. We charge a clear weekly or monthly rate for the storage itself, plus collection and redelivery costs based on time, labour and distance. Smaller loads and shorter terms are usually very affordable, and we will always suggest ways to reduce your volume so you do not overpay. All pricing is confirmed in writing before you commit to anything.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage in New Malden?

Where our schedule and space allow, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage. This is particularly common when a chain changes suddenly or a tenancy ends sooner than expected. The earlier you contact us, the better the chance we can fit you in, but we will always try to help in genuine emergencies. We will explain exactly what we can offer, the likely timings, and any additional costs before you decide.

Are my belongings insured while in storage and during transport?

Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your property and our storage facility, and they are stored in secure premises with appropriate protections. We also hold public liability cover for work on your premises. We will explain the key points of our insurance and any limits or exclusions so you know exactly where you stand. If you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss whether additional cover or specialist arrangements are advisable.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes professional collection from your property, careful loading, transport to our facility, secure storage space, and redelivery when required. We provide protective blankets and basic wrapping for furniture as part of the service. Optional extras include full packing of your belongings into boxes, supply of packing materials, and specialist handling for delicate or bulky items. We tailor the service to your situation, so you only pay for the level of help you actually need.

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

With us, you are not just hiring a van; you are using a professional removals and storage company. Our trained team handles all the lifting, loading and protection, and we manage the logistics from your door to the storage unit and back again. A casual man-and-van may not be fully insured or experienced in careful packing, and with self-storage you often still need to hire a van and do all the work yourself. We offer an integrated, accountable service with clear standards and insurance.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For planned moves or refurbishments, booking one to four weeks in advance is ideal, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-ends. This gives us time to arrange surveys, vehicles and storage space. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate last-minute requests where possible. If your dates are uncertain, we can hold a provisional booking and adjust as your situation becomes clearer, keeping communication open throughout.
