Local, Secure Storage in Edgware
Our team has been helping Edgware residents and businesses store and move their belongings for years. We understand the pressures of London living – limited space, tight timings and busy schedules – so our storage service is built around flexibility and reliability. We collect directly from your property in Edgware, transport your items to our secure facility, and deliver them back when you are ready.
All moves and collections are carried out by trained, experienced staff, with protective equipment and specialist vehicles designed for safe transport in and around Edgware’s streets.
Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, downsizing, or renovating, temporary storage can make life far easier. Store surplus furniture, seasonal items and personal effects in our secure units while you stage your property or complete building works.
Renters
Tenancy ending before your new place is ready? We can collect your belongings on move-out day, hold them in storage, and redeliver to your new rental when the keys are available. Ideal for avoiding costly short-term lets or last‑minute panic.
Landlords
Landlords often need short-term storage when changing tenants or refurbishing a property. We can remove, store and then return furniture and white goods, helping you protect your assets between lets or during redecoration.
Businesses
Our storage is well suited to office furniture storage, archiving, document storage, retail stock, event equipment and more. We offer regular access by arrangement and can handle deliveries in and out, saving you time and space at your premises.
Students
Students in and around Edgware can store belongings over the holidays rather than hauling everything home. We offer compact, cost‑effective storage for boxes, suitcases, small furniture and study equipment, with collection and redelivery aligned to term dates.

How Our Storage Service Works: Step by Step
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with details of what you need to store, your address in Edgware, and your approximate dates. We will ask a few simple questions about volume, access and timings. Based on this, we provide a clear, no‑obligation quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger collections or more complex access, we may recommend a quick video survey or onsite visit. This helps us estimate space accurately, allocate the right team and vehicle, and plan any special handling (for example, large wardrobes or fragile IT equipment). Surveys are straightforward and help avoid surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or choose our professional packing service. If we pack, we bring quality boxes, wrapping materials and tape, and label everything clearly for easy retrieval. Furniture is protected with covers and padding, and fragile items are wrapped individually. Our goal is to ensure everything can sit safely in storage for weeks or months without risk of damage.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our professional team arrives on time, loads your items carefully and secures them in our purpose‑equipped vehicles. We protect floors, doorways and banisters where needed, and work efficiently to minimise disruption, especially in flats and busy streets around Edgware. Your belongings are then transported directly to our secure facility.
5. Unloading, Storage & Redelivery
At the facility, we unload your items into a designated storage area or unit. Items are stacked logically to make future access straightforward. When you are ready to have everything back, simply book a redelivery date. We retrieve your goods and deliver them to your new address, placing furniture and boxes into the correct rooms as directed.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our storage charges are typically based on:
- The volume of goods stored (usually in cubic feet or metres)
- The length of time you need storage
- Collection and redelivery location(s)
- Any additional services, such as packing or dismantling
There are no hidden extras: we explain all charges before you commit, and you receive a written confirmation for your records. For long‑term storage, we may be able to offer discounted rates – ask when you enquire.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Using a professional storage service in Edgware gives you peace of mind that your belongings are properly protected, documented and insured. With DIY or a casual man‑and‑van, items are often moved without the right materials, packing methods or insurance cover. This increases the risk of avoidable damage or disputes later.
We use trained teams, appropriate vehicles and proven handling techniques. Your goods are stored in a managed facility rather than a random lock‑up or garage, and you have clear paperwork and a point of contact if you need help.
Insurance and Professional Standards
All storage and transport services are backed by goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, giving you an extra layer of protection. While we take every precaution to prevent damage, it is important you know that we operate to recognised professional standards.
Our crews are trained in safe lifting, packing and loading, and work under clear procedures for handling fragile, heavy and high‑value items. If you have particularly valuable goods, we can discuss declared values and any additional cover that may be appropriate.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is covered, mattresses are bagged where required, and boxes are stacked so they are not crushed or distorted over time. We use high‑quality reusable protective materials and are steadily reducing single‑use plastics in our daily operations.
Where possible, we reuse boxes, blankets and crates, and we encourage customers to choose durable packing options rather than disposable ones. When items reach end‑of‑life, we can arrange responsible disposal or recycling, helping reduce waste and environmental impact.
Real‑World Storage Use Cases in Edgware
Moving House
Completion dates do not always align neatly. Our storage bridges the gap, holding your belongings safely between properties so you can move in stages rather than under pressure. This is especially useful for chain delays or new builds running behind schedule.
Office Relocation
When relocating an office, it is often easier to store surplus furniture, archived files or seasonal stock rather than cram everything into the new site on day one. We can collect, store and then redeliver in phases, working to your business schedule to minimise downtime.
Urgent and Short‑Notice Moves
Sometimes you need storage at very short notice – for example, a sudden change in tenancy, a burst pipe, or urgent building work. Subject to availability, we can often arrange rapid collection from Edgware addresses and place your goods into storage the same or next day. Contact us as soon as possible and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage with Man with Van Edgware cost?
Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you require it, and whether you need us to handle collection and redelivery. We usually quote based on an estimated volume of goods, measured in cubic feet or metres, plus the transport element. For longer stays, monthly rates are often more economical. Once we understand your situation, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you will pay, with no hidden extras or unexpected fees.
Can you provide same‑day or urgent storage in Edgware?
Where capacity allows, we can offer same‑day or short‑notice storage for urgent situations, such as last‑minute tenancy changes or emergency works at your property. Availability depends on our schedule and space on the day, so it is always best to call as early as possible. We will assess what you need to store, your collection address, and time constraints, then let you know the options. Even if we cannot do same‑day, we will usually be able to help within a very short timeframe.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them, and they are also protected by the facility’s insurance while stored, subject to standard terms and declared values. We will explain the level of cover included and any exclusions, so you can decide whether to arrange additional insurance for particularly high‑value items. Our aim is to give you clear, honest information so there are no surprises in the unlikely event of a claim.
What is included in your storage service?
Our standard storage service includes collection from your Edgware property, secure transport to our storage facility, safe storage in a designated area, and redelivery to your chosen address at the end of the term. We also provide basic protection for furniture and sensible stacking of boxes. Optional extras include professional packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and materials such as boxes, tape and wrapping. We tailor the service to your circumstances so you only pay for what you actually need.
How is your storage service different from a basic man‑and‑van?
A casual man‑and‑van typically provides transport only, often without formal insurance, structured packing or a managed storage facility. Our service combines professional removals expertise with secure, monitored storage and clear documentation. We use trained teams, purpose‑built vehicles and protective materials to reduce the risk of damage. You also benefit from proper insurance cover, reliable scheduling and a single point of contact throughout. In practice, this means less stress, fewer surprises and better protection for your belongings.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For planned house moves, office relocations or renovations, booking one to three weeks in advance is ideal, especially in busy periods such as summer and month‑end. This gives us time to carry out any survey, reserve the right amount of storage space, and schedule a collection slot that suits you. However, we understand that plans can change suddenly. If you need storage at short notice, contact us and we will always do our best to fit you in, even outside typical lead times.
