Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with details of what you need to store, where you are in Manor House and how long you expect to store for. We ask a few questions about access, volume and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and return costs.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger jobs or where access is tight, we may recommend a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to estimate the space you will need, the number of porters required and the best vehicle for your street and property. An accurate survey helps avoid surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own boxes or choose our professional packing service. If we are packing for you, we bring quality materials and carefully wrap furniture, fragile items and electronics. Everything is labelled clearly so it is easy to identify while in storage and when we deliver it back.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

On collection day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and doorways where needed, and loads your belongings safely. We use blankets, straps and covers to secure items in the vehicle. Your goods are then transported directly to our storage facility or trusted partner warehouse.

5. Unloading, Placement & Inventory

Once at the storage facility, we unload carefully, placing items in your designated storage space. We keep an inventory list so you know exactly what is stored. When you are ready, you can arrange a redelivery date, and we bring everything back to your chosen address in Manor House or elsewhere.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. The total cost of storage typically includes:

• Collection and loading from your property
• Weekly or monthly storage charges based on the space required
• Optional packing service and materials
• Redelivery from storage back to your chosen address

Prices depend on the volume of goods, access at your property, and the length of storage. We explain all charges upfront so you can budget with confidence. There are no hidden extras for basic handling, and we will always tell you in advance if anything might affect the price.

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

Using a professional, fully insured storage and removals company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van:

• We provide trained teams who know how to lift and protect items properly, reducing the risk of damage or injury.
• Your belongings are covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance during collection and redelivery.
• We use reliable vehicles, proper equipment and quality packing materials.
• You have a single, accountable point of contact for both removals and storage, not separate, uncoordinated services.
• We maintain accurate records and inventory so nothing is misplaced.

With a DIY approach or casual operators, damage, loss and delays are far more common and often not insured.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a responsible removals and storage company, we maintain:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being collected and redelivered.
• Public liability cover – protecting you and your property in the unlikely event of an accident.
• Trained moving teams – staff are experienced in safe lifting, packing and handling.

We follow industry best practice for wrapping, stacking and securing goods in storage, treating your belongings with the same care we would our own. Details of cover limits can be provided with your quote, and we are happy to talk through what is and is not covered.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take care at every stage to minimise the risk of damage and reduce our environmental impact. This includes:

• Using reusable blankets, straps and protective covers
• Offering sturdy, reusable crates as an option instead of single-use boxes where practical
• Planning efficient routes around Manor House to cut unnecessary mileage
• Recycling materials such as cardboard and plastic where possible

Proper packing, labelling and stacking in storage not only protects your belongings but also makes redelivery smoother when you are ready to move items back.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

If your completion dates do not line up, or you are downsizing and need time to decide what to keep, storage can bridge the gap. We collect from your old home, store what you are not ready to move, and deliver it later when you are settled.

Office Relocation

Businesses relocating around Manor House often need to hold furniture and equipment offsite while new premises are prepared. We can phase collections and redeliveries to match your fit-out schedule, keeping downtime to a minimum.

Urgent or Last-Minute Storage

Sometimes things change quickly – a sale goes through sooner than expected, or a tenancy ends abruptly. Subject to availability, we can often arrange urgent collection and storage at short notice, helping you avoid panic or rushed decisions about your belongings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Manor House cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you store for and whether you require collection, packing or redelivery. We typically base prices on the volume of your goods, measured in cubic feet or metres, with clear weekly or monthly rates. To give you an accurate figure, we will ask for a rough list of items or photos and, for larger jobs, may carry out a short survey. There are no hidden fees, and we are happy to tailor a quote to your budget and timescale.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

In many cases, yes. If you need storage at short notice in Manor House, contact us as early in the day as possible. We will check vehicle and team availability, as well as space at our storage facility or partner sites. While we cannot guarantee same-day every time, we will always do our best to accommodate urgent requests or find the earliest possible slot. Even with an urgent booking, we still handle your belongings carefully and follow our usual procedures.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while we are transporting them to and from storage, and they are stored in secure facilities with appropriate security measures in place. As with any insurance, there are limits and exclusions, which we will outline clearly in your quotation and terms. If you have particularly high-value items, you may wish to supplement our cover with your own policy. We are happy to provide any documentation your insurer requires.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes collection from your address in Manor House, loading by our trained team, safe transport to the storage facility and placement of your goods into a designated storage area. We provide protective blankets and securing straps as part of the service. Optional extras include packing, supply of boxes and materials, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and redelivery on your chosen date. We explain what is included and optional in your quote so you can choose the level of help that suits you.

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

Unlike a casual man-and-van, we provide a structured, professional service with proper planning, insurance and trained staff. We do more than simply move items from A to B: we advise on packing, protect furniture, maintain inventories and ensure your goods are stored correctly. Our vehicles are equipped for removals work, and we operate under clear terms and conditions. This reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes and gives you a reliable point of contact throughout your storage period.

How far in advance should I book storage?

We recommend booking as soon as you know your dates, especially during busy periods such as the summer or month-end. A week or two’s notice usually gives us enough time to schedule a survey if needed and secure the right storage space. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we will always try to help even with shorter notice. If your dates are uncertain, we can often hold a provisional booking and confirm once your move or renovation timetable is clearer.
