Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are moving house, downsizing, or renovating, storage can bridge the gap. We safely store furniture, white goods, boxes, and sentimental items while you get your new place ready.

Renters

Short tenancy gaps, moving back home, or travelling abroad often call for flexible storage. We offer rolling storage options so you only pay for what you need, without long contracts.

Landlords

Landlords use our storage when changing from furnished to unfurnished lets, between tenants, or while refurbishing properties. We can remove, store and redeliver furniture to fit your lettings schedule.

Businesses

From stock and marketing materials to office furniture and archive boxes, our business storage is ideal for SMEs needing extra space without committing to larger premises. We arrange collections and returns to fit around your trading hours.

Students

• Home office equipment, desks and chairs
• Business stock, files and marketing materials
• Bicycles and small leisure equipment

What We Cannot Store

For safety and legal reasons, certain items are excluded:

• Perishable or refrigerated food items
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (e.g. gas bottles, fuels, chemicals)
• Illegal goods of any kind
• Live animals or plants

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you before collection.

How Our Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with details of what you need to store, when, and for how long. We will ask a few simple questions about the volume and type of items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage, and redelivery.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger jobs, we may recommend a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, staircases and lifts, and to estimate the storage space required accurately. The survey helps us plan the right team size, vehicle, and protective materials.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can either pack your own boxes or choose our professional packing service. Our team will bring blankets, covers and other protective materials. Furniture can be dismantled where necessary, and fragile items are wrapped carefully. Everything is labelled clearly so we know exactly what belongs to you and where it should go on redelivery.

4. Loading & Transport

On collection day, our professional movers load your belongings safely onto our vehicles. Items are secured to minimise movement in transit. We then transport them directly to our storage facility, where they are placed into your allocated storage area.

5. Unloading, Storage & Redelivery

We stack and store your items methodically to maximise safety and accessibility. When you are ready to have your goods back, simply contact us to book a redelivery slot. We then unload and place items into the rooms you specify, reassembling furniture where agreed.

Transparent Pricing

We aim to keep our pricing straightforward and honest. Your total cost is usually made up of:

• Collection and delivery charges (based on time, team size and distance)
• Monthly or weekly storage fee (depending on the volume of goods)
• Optional packing materials and packing service

There are no hidden extras. We explain all costs in advance and provide written confirmation. For longer-term storage, we may be able to offer discounted rates. We are always happy to discuss budget and options so you can find a solution that works for you.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY

Hiring a van and using a self-storage unit can appear cheaper at first, but often ends up more stressful and time-consuming. With our managed storage:

• You avoid lifting heavy or awkward items yourself, reducing the risk of injury.
• Our trained movers know how to protect and stack items correctly to prevent damage.
• Your belongings are covered by goods in transit insurance during collection and delivery.
• We handle access, security and inventory so you do not have to.

Compared with casual man-and-van operators, we are a fully insured, established company with proper procedures, vehicles and staff training.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your belongings are important to you, so they are important to us. We operate to professional standards, including:

• Goods in transit insurance covering your items while they are being moved.
• Public liability cover for work carried out in and around your property.
• Trained moving teams who follow best practices for lifting, packing and safety.

We treat every item with care, from everyday furniture to cherished possessions. Our vehicles are regularly maintained and our storage areas are secure and well managed.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We handle your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped in padded blankets, mattresses and sofas are covered, and fragile items are carefully boxed. We aim to minimise waste by reusing strong packing materials where appropriate and choosing recyclable products wherever possible.

By optimising vehicle loads and planning routes efficiently around Rayners Lane, we also reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions, supporting a more sustainable way of working.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

Completion dates do not always line up. Our storage gives you breathing space so you can move out on time, store your belongings securely, and move into your new home when it is ready.

Office Moves and Refits

Businesses use our storage during office refurbishments, relocations, or when downsizing workspace. We can hold surplus desks, chairs, filing cabinets and stock until you decide what to keep or sell.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes you have to vacate a property quickly. We can often arrange rapid collection and storage to prevent items being left behind or disposed of in a rush. Once you have your next place confirmed, we deliver everything back.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with Man with Van Rayners Lane cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on three factors: how much space you need, how long you need it for, and the work involved in collection and redelivery. We charge a clear collection/delivery fee based on time, team size and distance, plus a weekly or monthly storage fee linked to the volume of your goods. Optional packing services and materials are priced separately. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a written quotation so you know exactly what you will pay, with no hidden extras or surprise charges.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in Rayners Lane?

Where our schedule allows, we can often provide same-day or short-notice storage, especially for smaller loads or urgent situations like last-minute tenancy changes. The sooner you contact us, the easier it is for us to allocate a team and vehicle. For very urgent jobs, we will be honest about what is realistically possible and may offer phased collections if needed. There may be a premium for out-of-hours or emergency work, but we will always confirm costs before you commit to anything.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance during collection and redelivery, and we hold public liability cover for work at your property. While in store, your goods are kept in secure, monitored facilities with robust access controls. As with any storage service, there are limits and exclusions, so we recommend discussing any particularly high-value items with us in advance. If needed, you can arrange additional cover through your own insurer. We are happy to provide details of our policies so you can make an informed decision.

What is included in your storage service?

Our service typically includes collection from your property, protective wrapping of furniture, loading, transport to the storage facility, secure storage for the agreed period, and redelivery to your new or existing address. We place items into the rooms you specify and can reassemble furniture where this has been agreed. Optional extras include packing of boxes, supply of packing materials, and additional handling for particularly heavy or awkward items. Before we start, we will clearly list what is and is not included so everything is transparent.

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

Unlike casual man-and-van operators, we offer a managed, end-to-end service with trained staff, appropriate vehicles, and full insurance. We handle planning, packing, protection, loading, storage and redelivery, rather than just transport. Our team follow professional moving practices, using proper equipment and protective materials. You also benefit from clear paperwork, confirmed booking times and aftercare support. In short, you get the convenience and reassurance of a professional removals company combined with flexible storage options, rather than a simple van hire with labour.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly during busy periods such as month-end and summer. However, we understand that storage is often needed at short notice, so we will always try to accommodate last-minute requests where our schedule allows. Once you have an idea of your move-out date or project timeline, get in touch and we can pencil in provisional arrangements, then adjust details as things become clearer.
