Our storage service is designed to be simple and stress-free. You tell us what needs storing, for how long, and where from; we handle the rest. We combine professional removals with secure storage, so you do not need to hire a van, buy loads of boxes or navigate a self-storage maze on your own.

Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, renovating or downsizing, our storage lets you declutter, protect valuable items from dust and damage, and keep your home presentable. We can store entire household contents or just selected rooms while you complete your project.
Renters
Between tenancies, travelling, or waiting for a new flat? We can store your possessions securely for as long as you need. We regularly help renters bridge awkward move-out and move-in dates without having to re-house all their belongings with friends or family.
Landlords
We support landlords needing to clear or partially clear a property between lets. Whether you are refreshing furniture, storing existing items during refurbishment, or holding furnishings between tenants, we provide professional, reliable storage and inventory-style labelling.
Businesses
Offices, retailers and small businesses in Mayfair use our storage to free up expensive floor space. We store archived files, marketing materials, stock, furniture and IT equipment, with planned collections and redeliveries to minimise disruption to your team.
Students
Students often do not have space or transport for term-time and holiday moves. We offer affordable, flexible student storage, collecting boxes and small furniture from halls or shared houses, storing them safely, and returning them when term starts again.
What We Can and Cannot Store
Items Typically Included
- Household furniture: beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, shelving
- Boxes of clothes, books, personal items and household goods
- Appliances: fridges, freezers, washing machines (properly drained)
- Office furniture and equipment
- Retail stock, marketing stands and non-perishable products
- Luggage and sports equipment
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot store:
- Perishable food or anything that may rot or attract pests
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (e.g. paint, fuel, gas bottles)
- Illegal items or substances
- Live plants or animals
- Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable personal documents
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 a brief description of what you need to store, where it is located in Mayfair, and your approximate dates. We ask a few practical questions about access, volume and any special requirements, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger loads or complex access, we offer a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to estimate the volume accurately, plan the team and vehicle size, and check for any parking or building restrictions. Accurate assessment avoids surprises on the day and helps keep costs transparent.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or choose our professional packing service. Our teams use strong cartons, wrapping and protective covers to prepare your goods for safe transport and storage. Furniture can be dismantled where necessary and wrapped to prevent scuffs and dust.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and communal areas where needed, and carefully loads your items into our fully insured vehicles. We secure everything for travel and transport it directly to our storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
On arrival at the facility, we unload, stack and position your goods in a dedicated storage area or container. Items are stored off the ground where appropriate and kept organised so that retrieval and redelivery later on are straightforward.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We charge based on three main factors:
- Volume of goods (space required in storage)
- Duration of storage (short or long term)
- Collection and delivery costs (distance, access and labour time)
Your quote will clearly separate the collection/removal cost from the ongoing weekly or monthly storage fee. There are no hidden charges for basic handling. Any optional extras, such as packing services, packing materials or additional redeliveries, are explained in advance, so you can budget confidently.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using professional storage via an experienced removals company offers several advantages over doing it all yourself or hiring an informal man-and-van:
- Professional handling reduces the risk of damage when carrying, loading and stacking
- Vehicles and staff are fully insured, which is rarely the case with casual operators
- Proper inventory and labelling make retrieval and redelivery much easier
- You avoid multiple trips and the cost of renting a van and equipment
- We understand building rules, parking and timing in Mayfair, preventing issues on the day
Overall, professional storage is usually more secure, predictable and cost-effective once you factor in time, risk and hidden DIY costs.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take the safety of your belongings seriously. Our operations are backed by:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Trained, experienced moving teams used to handling fragile and bulky items
We work to clear, consistent standards of care, from careful lifting techniques to the correct use of blankets, straps and protective covers. We will happily explain how your items will be protected at every stage.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Protecting your belongings and the environment go hand in hand. We use reusable protective materials wherever possible and select sturdy, recyclable cartons for packing. Our teams are trained to handle items safely to minimise damage and waste.
We also plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage in and out of Mayfair and maintain our vehicles regularly to keep them operating efficiently and safely. Where we supply packing materials, we can often collect used boxes for reuse or recycling.
Common Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Completion dates do not always line up neatly. We often store full or partial household contents between sale and purchase, or while clients wait for work to finish in their new home. We can handle the whole chain: collect from your old property, store, then deliver to your new address on the agreed date.
Office Relocations
Businesses moving within or out of Mayfair sometimes need temporary storage for surplus furniture, archived files or equipment that will be phased in later. We can coordinate closely with your relocation plan so that items arrive only when there is space ready for them.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
Circumstances change quickly – sudden notice to move out, emergency repairs, or an unexpected tenancy issue. Subject to availability, we can arrange same-day or next-day collection into storage, giving you immediate breathing space while you decide your next steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage with Man and Van Mayfair cost?
Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you need it for, and the effort involved in collecting your items from your Mayfair property. We will usually quote a one-off cost for collection, plus a weekly or monthly storage fee based on the volume of goods. Longer-term storage can attract reduced rates. Once we have a clear idea of your items and access, we provide a written, transparent quote with no hidden extras for standard handling.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in Mayfair?
Where our schedule allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day collection into storage, especially for smaller loads or box-only jobs. If you have an urgent situation, tell us your timescales and we will advise honestly what is possible. Even when we cannot attend immediately, we will usually be able to secure a near-term slot and suggest practical steps you can take to prepare your items so that the move into storage is as quick and efficient as possible.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your items are covered by goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and our arrangements with the storage facility include appropriate cover for goods while stored, subject to standard terms and declared values. In addition, we hold public liability cover for work at your property. We will explain the key conditions, including any limits or exclusions, and can advise if you require additional cover for particularly high-value items.
What is included in your storage service?
Our storage service typically includes collection from your Mayfair address, loading by our trained team, transport in our fully insured vehicles and placement of your items into secure storage. We provide basic protective coverings for furniture and careful stacking to maximise space. Optional extras include professional packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, supply of packing materials, and redelivery to your chosen address when your storage period ends. All inclusions and optional services are clearly itemised in your quote.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?
A casual man-and-van will usually just move items from A to B, often without formal insurance, written terms or a structured storage arrangement. With us, you are getting a professional removals and storage service: trained staff, fully insured vehicles, planned loading, secure storage and reliable redelivery. We also provide clear documentation, realistic timings and a point of contact throughout. The aim is not just moving items, but protecting them properly and giving you confidence that everything is accounted for and handled correctly.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking as soon as you know you are likely to need storage, particularly during busy moving periods such as month-end and summer. That said, we regularly accommodate short-notice bookings and will always try to help if you are working to tight deadlines. An early conversation with us, even if your plans are not final, allows us to pencil in provisional dates and advise you on packing, access and any permissions you may need to arrange in advance.
