• Illegal goods or stolen property

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you before collection so there are no surprises on the day.

How Our Shoreditch Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quotation

Contact us by phone, email or online form with a rough list of what you need to store, your location in or around Shoreditch, and your preferred dates. We will provide a clear, no-obligation quote that covers collection, storage, and redelivery. There are no hidden charges, and we are always happy to explain costs in plain language.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger or more complex jobs, we will arrange a free virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking restrictions, item volumes and any special-handling requirements. By planning properly, we send the right-sized vehicle and the right number of trained movers, saving you time and money and ensuring everything fits safely into storage.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes, or use our professional packing service. Our teams use quality materials – double-walled boxes, furniture blankets, specialist wraps and covers – to protect your belongings. Everything is labelled and inventoried so you always know what is in storage. Mattresses, sofas and delicate items are specially wrapped to reduce dust and damage risk.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

On collection day, our trained moving teams arrive on time, protect floors and doorways where needed, and carefully load your items onto our vehicles. We use proper lifting techniques and equipment to prevent damage to both property and belongings. Your goods are then transported directly to our secure storage facility in a fully insured vehicle, with loads tightly secured to avoid movement in transit.

5. Storage, Unloading & Secure Placement

At the facility, your items are unloaded, checked against the inventory, and placed in a clean, dry storage unit or container chosen to match your volume. Units are locked and stored in a monitored environment. When you are ready to have your items back, we simply schedule a return date and deliver them to your new or existing address, placing furniture and boxes into the rooms you choose.

Clear & Transparent Storage Pricing

We structure our storage pricing in a way that is straightforward and fair:

• Collection and redelivery charged based on vehicle size, labour, and access.
• Storage charged monthly, based on the space you actually use.
• Optional packing materials and packing service clearly itemised.

Longer-term bookings and larger volumes may qualify for discounted rates. We will always advise on the most cost-effective solution, for example, consolidating part-loads or downsizing your unit as items are removed.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?

Using a professional removals and storage company gives you protection and peace of mind that DIY or casual operators simply cannot match:

• Fully insured vehicles and storage – protecting your belongings in transit and in store.
• Trained staff who know how to lift, pack and stack to minimise damage.
• Proper inventories and labelling so nothing goes missing or gets mixed with other customers’ items.
• Secure, monitored facilities rather than makeshift or unregulated spaces.
• Single point of responsibility – one company handling collection, storage and redelivery.

DIY might appear cheaper at first glance, but once you factor in van hire, fuel, packing materials, your time, and the risk of breakages, a managed storage service is often the more sensible choice.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your belongings are important to you, so we treat them as if they were our own. Man with Van Shoreditch provides:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while being moved between your property and the storage facility.
• Public liability cover – protecting you and your property while our team is working on-site.
• Trained moving teams – experienced staff who handle items correctly and follow industry best practice.

We can talk you through the level of cover included as standard and discuss any specific high-value items that may need additional protection or specialist handling.

Care, Protection & Sustainability

We focus on careful handling, responsible materials and efficient transport:

• Use of reusable furniture blankets, reusable crates (where requested), and durable protective covers.
• Encouraging clients to recycle unwanted items before storage, reducing wasted space and cost.
• Route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions when collecting and redelivering from Shoreditch addresses.
• Clean, dry, well-maintained storage units to avoid damp, mould or pest issues.

Good storage is not only about space – it is about preserving the condition of your belongings over time.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

If completion dates do not line up or you are temporarily staying with friends or family, our storage service bridges the gap. We collect from your old home, store everything safely, and deliver it to your new address when you get the keys.

Office Relocation & Refurbishment

Businesses in Shoreditch often need flexible storage during an office move or fit-out. We can hold furniture, IT equipment and archives while you reconfigure your workspace, returning items in stages as needed.

Urgent & Short-Notice Situations

Life is not always predictable. If you need storage at short notice due to a sudden move, relationship change, or urgent renovation, we do our best to offer rapid collection slots. Our organised process keeps things calm even when time is tight.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Shoreditch cost?

Storage costs depend on three main factors: how much space you need, how long you need it for, and the labour and vehicle size required for collection and redelivery. We usually charge a one-off fee for collection, a monthly storage fee based on your unit size, and a fee for redelivery at the end. Optional extras, such as packing materials and professional packing, are clearly itemised. Once we have a list of items or have carried out a quick survey, we will provide a written quote so you know exactly what to budget.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

Where schedules and availability allow, we can often arrange same-day or next-day storage collections in Shoreditch and nearby areas. This is particularly helpful if a move falls through at the last minute or you need to clear a property quickly. The more notice you can give us, the better, but we understand that urgent situations happen. Call us as soon as you know you need help and we will explain our earliest available times, any out-of-hours options, and how to prepare items quickly for safe transport.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Yes. Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved and by our storage cover while they are in our facility. This is backed up by public liability insurance for work carried out at your property. We will explain exactly what is covered and any single-item limits when we provide your quote. For particularly high-value items or specialist collections, we may recommend additional cover or alternative arrangements to ensure they are fully protected to a level you are comfortable with.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes collection from your Shoreditch address, safe loading, transport to our facility, secure storage for the agreed term, and redelivery at the end. We also provide basic protective materials such as furniture blankets and transit wrapping for key items. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of larger furniture, and staged redeliveries. We will build a package around your needs so you only pay for the services that are genuinely useful to you.

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

With a casual man-and-van or self-storage, you are usually responsible for packing, loading, transport and organising the unit yourself. Insurance and security can be limited, and there may be little help if something goes wrong. With us, you get a professional, end-to-end service: trained staff, fully insured vehicles, proper inventories, and monitored storage. We handle the heavy lifting, logistics and planning so your belongings are stored systematically and can be returned efficiently when needed, saving you time, effort and risk.

How far in advance should I book storage?

Ideally, book as soon as you know you will need storage – especially during busy periods such as the summer, month-end, and around major holidays. A week or two’s notice is usually enough for standard jobs, but we often accommodate shorter notice periods, particularly for smaller loads. Early booking allows us to plan the correct unit size, allocate the right team, and help you with packing advice. Even if your dates are not fixed, we can pencil you in and adjust once your plans are confirmed.
