Local Storage Expertise in Camden

Based in Camden, we know the area, traffic patterns and building layouts extremely well. From period terraces in Primrose Hill and mansion blocks in Belsize Park to modern flats around King’s Cross and small businesses in Camden Town, we are used to tight staircases, controlled parking zones and limited access. Our local knowledge means we plan the route, parking and loading so that your collection and redelivery are as efficient as possible.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Decluttering before a sale, renovating, or downsizing? We can safely store furniture, white goods, boxes, and personal effects while you complete your project or move chain. We label and inventory your items so that anything you need back can be identified quickly.

Renters

Changing tenancy dates rarely line up perfectly. Our storage service bridges the gap, holding your belongings securely until your new place is ready. We regularly help tenants between flats in Camden, Kentish Town, Hampstead and beyond.

Landlords

Need to store furniture between lets or while refurbishing a property? We can remove, store and redeliver full contents or selected items, allowing your contractors a clear space to work and helping you protect your investment.

Businesses

Offices, shops and studios in Camden often lack spare space. We provide secure storage for archived documents, stock, event materials, office furniture and equipment. We can also support phased office moves, holding non-essential items until you are ready for them.

Students

Studying at UCL, SOAS, Central Saint Martins or another London university? Instead of shipping everything home each term, store your belongings locally. Our student storage collections cover halls and shared houses across Camden, with flexible short-term options.

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

• Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs

• Boxes of clothes, books, ornaments and personal possessions
• IT equipment and office electronics (properly packed)

If you are unsure whether something can be stored, we will advise you in advance.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with details of what you need to store, approximate quantities, collection and delivery addresses, and your timescales. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger loads or complex properties, we may carry out a brief video or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, number of items and any special handling requirements so we can send the right team and vehicle on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own items, or choose our packing service. Our trained team use sturdy boxes, wrapping and protective covers for furniture and fragile items. Everything is labelled and inventoried so we know exactly what goes into storage.

4. Loading & Transport

On the agreed day, our team arrive on time, protect floors and doorways where needed, and carefully load your items. We secure everything properly in the van to minimise movement during transit, then transport your goods directly to our storage facility.

5. Storage, Unloading & Placement

At the facility, we unload, position and stack your items safely in your designated storage area. When you need your belongings back, we arrange redelivery and place items in the rooms you request, helping to reassemble furniture if this has been agreed.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We aim to make our pricing clear and predictable. Your quote will typically include:

• Collection fee – based on vehicle size, team required and travel time
• Storage fee – usually charged weekly or monthly, depending on volume (m³) or unit size
• Optional packing materials and packing service
• Redelivery fee – from storage to your chosen address

There are no hidden charges. We will explain any additional costs (for example, out-of-hours work, long carries or stairs without lift access) before you book so you can plan your budget confidently.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Van Hire

Using professional storage via Man with Van Camden means your belongings are handled by trained movers and kept in a secure environment. With DIY or casual man-and-van services, you are often responsible for the lifting, packing and any damage that occurs. Our service includes appropriate equipment, protective materials and experienced staff who know how to handle heavy and fragile items safely, reducing the risk of injury and breakage.

We are fully insured, operate to professional standards and provide proper documentation for collections, inventories and deliveries. This level of accountability is rarely available with informal options.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. As part of our storage service, we provide:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering items while they are being transported between your property and the storage facility
• Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to third-party property or injury during the move
• Trained moving teams – staff who are experienced in lifting techniques, packing, and handling awkward items

We will happily discuss coverage levels and any specific requirements you have so you understand exactly how your items are protected.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take a careful, methodical approach to every job. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are covered, and fragile items are cushioned and clearly marked. Floors, bannisters and doorways are protected where needed to prevent scuffs and scrapes.

Wherever possible we use reusable blankets, durable crates and recyclable packing materials to reduce waste. We combine loads efficiently and plan routes to minimise unnecessary mileage, supporting a more sustainable way of working while maintaining reliable service.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

Chains fall through, completion dates slip and renovations take longer than expected. Our storage provides a flexible buffer so your sale or purchase can still go ahead while we safeguard your belongings until your new home is ready.

Office Relocations

Businesses often phase office moves to keep trading. We store non-essential furniture, files and equipment during refurbishment or relocation, then deliver them once the new layout is finalised. This helps maintain productivity and keeps workspaces clear.

Urgent Moves

Sometimes you must vacate a property at short notice. If your new place is not yet available, we can arrange rapid collection and secure storage, giving you breathing space to sort the next step without worrying about your possessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Camden cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you store for, and the collection and redelivery locations. We usually price by volume (cubic metres) or by unit size, with weekly or monthly rates. Collection and redelivery are charged separately, based on the team and vehicle required. To give you an accurate figure, we will ask for a brief list of items or photos, plus your dates and addresses. All quotes are itemised so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

Where our schedule and space allow, we can arrange same-day or urgent storage collections across Camden and nearby areas. This is particularly helpful if a tenancy ends suddenly or building works overrun. The more notice you can give us, the better, but if you are in a tight spot, call us and we will do our best to accommodate you. Urgent work may carry a premium depending on timing and access, and we will always explain this clearly before you confirm.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them to and from storage, and by our facility’s insurance while they are stored, subject to policy terms and exclusions. We will explain the standard cover levels and can advise if you need additional protection for particularly high-value items. For maximum peace of mind, many customers also notify their own home or business insurer that goods are in professional storage, to ensure all bases are covered.

What is included in your storage service?

Our service typically includes collection from your property, protective wrapping for furniture, safe loading, transport to the facility, secure storage, and redelivery at the end of the term. We can also provide packing materials and a full or partial packing service if required. An inventory of stored items is prepared so we both know exactly what is being held. We do not include packing by default, but we will itemise it on your quote so you can decide what level of help you want.

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

A basic man-and-van typically just provides a vehicle and driver, leaving you to do most of the lifting and arranging storage yourself. Our service is a coordinated solution: professional crews, proper equipment, secure storage, clear documentation and fully insured handling throughout. We plan access, protect your property, and manage your belongings from door to store and back again. This reduces the risk of damage and makes the whole process far less stressful and time-consuming for you.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of dates and to secure space, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or university term. However, we understand that storage needs can arise suddenly, so we always try to be flexible. If you are unsure of your exact dates, we can pencil you in and adjust as your plans firm up, subject to availability. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer.
