Storage
Secure Storage in Fulham with Fulham Man and Van
At Fulham Man and Van, we provide secure, flexible storage solutions for households and businesses across Fulham and the surrounding areas. Whether you are between properties, decluttering, refurbishing, or need extra commercial space, we offer clean, dry and monitored storage with a professional, carefully managed collection and delivery service.
Local Storage Expertise in Fulham
We have moved and stored belongings for Fulham residents for years, so we understand the challenges of local parking, narrow streets and time-restricted loading bays. Our team plans every collection and redelivery around Fulham’s layout and regulations, keeping the process smooth and stress-free.
Because we run both removals and storage, we can integrate the two: we collect from your property, place everything into storage, and deliver to your new address on your chosen date. No multiple suppliers, no confusion.
Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, buying, or renovating, our storage service keeps furniture and personal items out of harm’s way. We regularly help homeowners store full house contents while they wait for completion dates or builders to finish major works.
Renters
For renters between tenancies, travelling, or moving into a furnished property, we provide flexible short-term and long-term storage. You can store a few boxes or the contents of an entire flat and extend your stay as needed.
Landlords
Landlords use our storage when changing furniture between lets, refurbishing, or holding items removed from a property. We can inventory, wrap and store items so they are ready to return whenever required.
Businesses
Local businesses in Fulham rely on our storage for documents, excess stock, seasonal displays, event equipment and office furniture. We offer regular collections and deliveries, making us a practical overflow solution without the cost of extra office or retail space.
Students
Students moving in and out of Fulham term-time accommodation can store boxes, bikes, small furniture and personal belongings over the holidays. We collect from your halls or flat and redeliver when you return, so you do not have to move everything home and back again.
What Our Storage Service Includes
Our storage is designed around real-life moves, not just unit hire. Typical items we store include:
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, dryers
- Personal belongings – clothes, books, ornaments, artwork
- Home office items – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, equipment
- Business stock and materials (non-perishable and non-hazardous)
- Student possessions – suitcases, boxes, small appliances, bikes
Items We Cannot Store
For safety and legal reasons, some items are excluded from storage. We cannot store:
- Perishable food and anything that may attract pests
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles and paints)
- Illegal goods, stolen items or anything obtained unlawfully
- Live animals or plants
- Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents (these are best kept in a safe or with your bank)
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you before collection.
Our Step-by-Step Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of what you need to store, your Fulham address and timescales. We discuss volume, access, and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and re-delivery.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves into storage, we arrange a quick survey. This can be virtual (video call and photos) or onsite for more complex properties. The survey lets us confirm how much space you need, the number of movers, vehicle size and any packing materials.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or choose our professional packing service. Our trained team will wrap furniture, protect mattresses, and pack fragile items using quality materials. Everything is labelled clearly so it can be located and returned easily.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
On collection day we arrive at the agreed time, protect floors and doorways where needed, and load your belongings with care. Items are listed on an inventory before they are securely transported in our vehicles to our storage facility.
5. Unloading, Storage & Future Redelivery
At the facility, your goods are unloaded into clean, dry storage. Items are stacked safely and logically to avoid damage and to make future access straightforward. When you are ready for your belongings back, we schedule re-delivery to your new or existing address and place items in the rooms you specify.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We keep our storage pricing straightforward and easy to understand. Your quote typically includes:
- Collection from your Fulham property (with a clear breakdown of labour and vehicle costs)
- Weekly or monthly storage charges based on the volume used
- Optional professional packing materials and packing service
- Redelivery from storage to your chosen address
There are no hidden extras. If your needs change – for example, you keep items in storage longer than expected – we explain any revised costs in advance. We can often suggest ways to reduce space and save on long-term storage if you wish.
Why Choose Professional Storage Instead of DIY
Using a professional storage and removals company offers several advantages over hiring a basic lock-up or casual man-and-van:
- Trained movers handle heavy and fragile items correctly, reducing risk of damage or injury.
- Your belongings are wrapped, protected and stacked properly in storage, not crammed in.
- You benefit from structured goods in transit insurance, subject to terms.
- We manage access, inventory and redelivery – you do not need to arrange multiple trips yourself.
- Our vehicles and equipment are designed for moving household and business contents safely.
DIY often seems cheaper at first, but once you factor in van hire, fuel, packing materials, lost time and the risk of damage, a professional service usually proves more sensible.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a reputable removals and storage company, we operate to clear professional standards.
- Goods in transit insurance covers your belongings while they are being moved, within policy limits and conditions.
- Public liability cover protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury during our work.
- Our teams are trained in safe lifting, packing, and handling of delicate items.
- We maintain our vehicles and check equipment regularly to keep operations safe and reliable.
We explain the scope of cover in plain language before the job, so you know exactly how your items are protected and whether you wish to arrange any additional cover for particularly high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. That means careful handling at every stage and thoughtful use of materials. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are covered, and fragile items are cushioned properly. We use sturdy cartons that can be reused multiple times, and we recycle materials where practical.
Route planning reduces unnecessary mileage and emissions, and we consolidate loads when appropriate without compromising security. Our aim is to offer a reliable storage service that is both responsible and respectful of the environment.
Real-World Storage Use Cases in Fulham
Moving House with a Gap Between Dates
Many Fulham customers face a gap between selling and buying. We collect the entire household, store it for a few weeks or months, then deliver on your completion day. You deal with one team throughout.
Office Relocation and Refits
Businesses refurbishing or relocating use our storage to hold furniture, IT equipment and documents while work takes place. We can phase collections and deliveries to suit your project schedule, keeping downtime to a minimum.
Urgent and Short-Notice Storage
Sometimes storage is needed quickly – a sudden tenancy change, a flood, or builders starting earlier than expected. Subject to availability, we offer prompt collection and short-notice storage, helping you react to unexpected changes without panic.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage in Fulham 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 (collection, packing and redelivery). We typically charge a weekly or monthly rate based on volume, plus one-off costs for collection and final delivery. During your enquiry we estimate the cubic footage of your items and explain the charges clearly. There are no hidden fees, and if your requirements change, we update you before any costs increase.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice storage collections within Fulham. This is often used when a tenancy ends unexpectedly, builders need a clear space, or a chain falls through. Availability depends on our vehicles, crews and storage capacity on the day, so it is best to call as early as possible. We will always be honest about what we can do safely and, if needed, offer practical alternatives or next-day solutions.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved to and from storage, and we also maintain relevant cover for items held within our care, subject to policy terms. We will outline the key conditions, limits and exclusions before your booking is confirmed. For particularly high-value or irreplaceable items, we may recommend you notify your own insurer or arrange additional cover. Our aim is for you to understand exactly how your belongings are protected at every stage.
What’s included in your storage service?
Our storage service includes professional collection from your Fulham address, safe transport to our facility, secure storage in clean, dry conditions and redelivery when required. We prepare an inventory of items, and standard protection such as blankets and basic wrapping is included. Optional extras include full packing, specialist materials for fragile or high-value items, and dismantling and reassembly of furniture. We discuss your needs in advance so your quote reflects the exact level of service you require, without unwanted extras.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van or self-storage?
A casual man-and-van typically moves items from A to B without offering structured storage, detailed inventories or formal insurance arrangements. Self-storage usually leaves you to pack, load, transport and stack everything yourself. Our service combines professional removals with managed storage: trained staff, proper protection, documented items and coordinated re-delivery. This reduces the risk of damage, saves you significant time and effort, and provides clearer accountability throughout the process.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives us time to arrange surveys if needed, reserve the right storage space and schedule the ideal collection slot. However, we understand that circumstances change quickly, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice. Even if your dates are uncertain, it is worth contacting us early so we can pencil you in and adapt as your plans become clearer.
