Storage in Falconwood by Man with van Falconwood

Professional Storage Services in Falconwood

Our storage options are designed to make life easier during what is often a stressful time. We combine our removals expertise with safe, monitored storage facilities so your possessions are protected from collection to redelivery.

Unlike basic self-storage, we can collect, wrap, load, store and redeliver your items using our trained removal teams and purpose-equipped vehicles. You choose how involved you want to be – from full packing and inventory, to simple collection and storage.

Who Our Falconwood Storage Service Is For

Our storage in Falconwood is ideal for:

• Homeowners – decluttering for a sale, downsizing, renovating, or waiting for a completion date.
• Renters – between tenancies, moving back home, or heading abroad for work.
• Landlords – storing furniture between lets or during refurbishment.
• Businesses – archiving documents, holding stock, storing office furniture during refits.
• Students – keeping belongings safe over the holidays or placement years.

Whether it’s a few boxes or the contents of a full property, we can scale the storage to suit your needs and timeframe.

What We Can Store

We handle most everyday household and office items, including:

• Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, desks and chairs.
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (defrosted and drained).
• Boxes and personal belongings – books, clothes, kitchenware, toys, ornaments.
• Electronics – TVs, computers, printers, audio equipment, properly packed.
• Office items – filing cabinets, archive boxes, office desks and meeting room furniture.

We can provide packing materials and, if required, a full or part packing service to ensure everything is safely prepared for storage.

What Cannot Be Stored

For safety and legal reasons, some items cannot go into our storage units:

• Perishable goods and food items.
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles, paints, solvents).
• Illegal items or anything prohibited by law.
• Animals or live plants.
• Cash, jewellery or high-value collections better suited to a bank or specialist facility.
• Anything that could leak, rot or attract vermin.

If you are unsure about a particular item, ask our team and we will advise the safest option.

Our Step-by-Step Storage & Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us with a rough idea of what you need to store, where from, and for how long. We will ask a few clear questions about access, quantities and timings, then provide a transparent, no-obligation quote. Pricing is based on volume, access and duration, so you only pay for the space and services you actually need.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger jobs, we recommend a short survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Falconwood, depending on your preference. We assess volume, parking, access (stairs, lifts, narrow doorways) and any special items that need extra protection. This allows us to plan the right vehicle, team size and storage space so there are no surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own items, or choose our professional packing service. We supply quality cartons, wrapping materials and tape, and can also dismantle furniture where needed. Fragile items are wrapped and protected, and we label boxes clearly to make redelivery easier. For storage, careful packing is essential to minimise risk of damage while items are stacked.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

Our trained team arrives at the agreed time, protects floors and key areas as needed, and loads your belongings systematically onto our vehicles. We use removal blankets, straps and appropriate lifting techniques to protect both your items and the property. Your goods are then transported directly to our storage facility, with everything handled by our own professional crew.

5. Safe Storage, Unloading & Future Redelivery

Once at our facility, your goods are unloaded into secure storage units or containers. Items are stacked to maximise space while keeping them safe and accessible. When you are ready, we schedule redelivery to your new address, unload, and place items into the rooms you choose. If agreed in advance, we can also reassemble beds and larger furniture.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our storage quotes typically include:

• Collection from your property in Falconwood or nearby.
• Loading and transport to our storage facility.
• Weekly or monthly storage fees based on the volume used.
• Redelivery from storage to your new address when required.

Optional extras such as packing, packing materials, dismantling/reassembly and additional labour are itemised separately so you can choose what you need. We are always happy to discuss ways to reduce cost, such as decluttering beforehand or combining trips.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Basic Man-and-Van?

Using a professional removals and storage company offers several advantages over arranging everything yourself or relying on a casual man-and-van:

• Trained handling – our staff are experienced in lifting, loading and stacking for storage, reducing the risk of damage.
• Proper protection – blankets, covers and wrapping are used as standard, not as an afterthought.
• Insurance cover – your belongings are covered by appropriate policies while in our care.
• Planned logistics – we consider access, parking and timings, avoiding last-minute issues.
• Single point of responsibility – one company is accountable from door to store and back again.

DIY often seems cheaper at first glance, but once you factor in van hire, fuel, time off work, equipment and potential damage, a proper removals and storage service can be better value and far less stressful.

Insurance & Professional Standards

As an experienced removals and storage operator in Falconwood, we take our responsibilities seriously. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while being moved between properties and storage.
• Public liability cover – protecting you and your property during our work on-site.
• Trained moving teams – staff are experienced, briefed on each job and follow established procedures.

We are happy to explain cover limits and how they apply to your particular move or storage period. For high-value items, we can advise on additional cover where appropriate.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Our crews use appropriate lifting techniques, protective equipment and careful stacking to minimise risk. Where possible, we reuse durable cartons and protective materials to reduce waste, while still ensuring hygiene and safety. We also plan routes sensibly to cut unnecessary mileage, supporting a more sustainable way of working.

Real-World Storage Use Cases in Falconwood

Moving House with a Gap Between Dates

Many of our Falconwood clients use storage when there is a delay between selling and completing on their new home. We collect everything on moving day, store it securely for the required period, then deliver to the new property once you get the keys.

Office Relocation or Refurbishment

Local businesses often need short-term storage during an office move or refurbishment. We can remove desks, chairs, filing and IT equipment, hold them safely, and return them once fit-out work is complete.

Urgent or Same-Week Moves

Sometimes things change quickly – a tenancy ends, a sale completes faster than expected, or building work overruns. Our storage service provides a flexible buffer, allowing you to move out on time without rushing decisions about your next property.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with Man with van Falconwood cost?

Storage costs depend on three main factors: how much space you need, how long you need it for, and whether you require collection and redelivery. We usually quote a weekly or monthly rate based on the volume of goods, plus any transport and labour charges for moving items into and out of storage. Once we understand what you have and the access at each property, we’ll provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what you’re paying for, with no hidden extras.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in Falconwood?

Where our schedule and space allow, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage. The more information you can give us when you call – including an approximate list of items, access details and your timescales – the quicker we can confirm availability. For urgent situations, we prioritise clear communication and realistic timings so you know what to expect. While we can’t guarantee same-day slots every time, we will always do our best to find a practical solution that keeps your belongings safe.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved, and by our storage insurance while they are in our facility, subject to the policy terms. We’ll explain limits, exclusions and any requirements, such as proper packing, at the quotation stage. If you have particularly high-value items, you may wish to notify us so we can advise whether extra cover is sensible. Insurance is there as a safety net; our primary focus remains careful handling, secure premises and well-trained staff.

What is included in your storage and removals service?

As standard, our service includes professional collection from your property, loading onto our vehicles, transport to storage, secure storage of your items, and redelivery when you are ready. We also provide basic protection for furniture and larger items during handling. Additional options include packing materials, a full or part packing service, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and help with arranging parking if needed. We’ll tailor the package to your situation, so you only pay for the elements that are genuinely useful to you.

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

A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with limited or no insurance, and minimal support with planning or storage. We operate as a professional removals and storage company: we provide trained staff, appropriate equipment, documented processes and formal insurance cover. We also take responsibility for your goods throughout their journey and time in storage, not just for the drive. For one or two items a basic van may be enough, but for whole-home or business contents, a structured, accountable service is generally safer and more efficient.

How far in advance should I book storage in Falconwood?

We recommend booking as early as you can, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. Ideally, contact us one to three weeks before you need collection so we can carry out a survey if required and reserve the right amount of space. That said, we know plans often change, and we will always try to help even at short notice. The earlier we speak, the more options we can offer in terms of dates, times and pricing.
