At Man and a Van Camden, we combine professional removals expertise with secure local storage solutions, giving you one point of contact from door to store and back again.
Professional Storage Services in Camden
Our storage service is designed around people who are moving, renovating or simply running out of space. We collect, store and redeliver your belongings, so you don’t have to deal with hiring vans, lifting heavy furniture or navigating storage depots on your own.
All items are handled by trained, professional movers and protected by appropriate goods in transit and storage insurance, giving you peace of mind from collection to redelivery.
Who Our Camden Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are moving house, decluttering for a sale or carrying out renovations, temporary storage keeps your home clear and your belongings safe. We can remove items before works start and return them once everything is finished.
Renters
Between tenancies or moving into a smaller property? Storage allows you to avoid rushed decisions about what to keep or throw away. Store furniture, boxes and personal items securely for as long as you need.
Landlords
Landlords in Camden often use us to store furniture between lets, during refurbishments or when changing a property from furnished to unfurnished. We can catalogue items and return them to any local address when required.
Businesses
Local businesses rely on our storage service for archived documents, spare furniture, event equipment and seasonal stock. We offer regular collections and deliveries, so your team can focus on running the business, not moving boxes.
Students
Students at UCL, SOAS and other London universities use our storage between terms, especially over summer. We collect from halls or shared houses, store everything securely, and deliver back when you return to Camden or elsewhere in London.

How Our Camden Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a rough list of items and your Camden location. We will ask a few questions about access, timing and duration of storage, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and redelivery.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger homes or offices, we may carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volume, plan the right size vehicle and storage space, and anticipate any access challenges such as narrow staircases or parking restrictions.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or choose our professional packing service. Our team will bring suitable materials, including boxes, wrapping paper and protective covers for furniture. Delicate items such as glass, artwork and IT equipment are packed with extra care.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our trained movers protect floors, walls and doors where needed, then carefully load your belongings into our vehicles. Everything is securely strapped and padded for safe transit to our storage facility, covered by goods in transit insurance.
5. Storage & Redelivery
Your items are stored in clean, dry and secure units. We can arrange access by appointment, or simply schedule redelivery when you are ready. When it is time to return your items, we deliver them back to your chosen address, unloading and placing furniture in the rooms you specify.
Transparent Pricing for Storage in Camden
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote will typically include:
- Collection from your Camden address
- Protective wrapping and standard furniture covers
- Storage charged by the size of space and duration
- Redelivery to your new or existing address
Costs depend on volume, access, packing requirements and length of stay. Short-term storage is usually priced weekly or monthly, with discounts often available for longer-term bookings. We will always explain the options clearly so you can choose what best suits your budget.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY
Hiring a unit and doing it all yourself may look cheaper at first, but it often means multiple trips, heavy lifting, and the risk of damage through poor packing or stacking. With a professional service, you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to handle bulky and fragile items safely
- Appropriate insurance cover for collection, transit and storage
- Purpose-built vehicles with padding, straps and equipment
- Efficient use of storage space, so you only pay for what you need
- Time saved – no van hire, driving or repeat journeys
In short, professional storage is more controlled, safer for your belongings, and less stressful for you.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As an established Camden removals and storage company, we operate to clear professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while being moved
- Public liability cover for work carried out in your home or premises
- Trained, vetted and experienced moving teams
- Use of appropriate equipment – blankets, trolleys, covers and straps
- Clear terms and conditions so you know exactly how your items are protected
We treat every job as if we were moving and storing our own possessions – carefully, methodically and respectfully.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Protecting your belongings starts with the right preparation. We use high-quality protective covers for sofas and mattresses, and wrap furniture edges to prevent knocks in transit. Boxes are stacked to avoid crushing, and fragile items are clearly labelled and handled accordingly.
We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Where possible we use reusable crates, blankets and durable covers, and we encourage customers to reuse or recycle cardboard boxes. Routes are planned efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage within Camden and across London.
Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Chains fall through, completion dates move and sometimes you need to move out before the new place is ready. Our storage service bridges that gap, keeping your furniture and belongings safe until you get the keys to your new home.
Office Relocation
When businesses in Camden refurbish or relocate, storage allows them to clear space in stages. Spare desks, chairs and files can be moved into storage while works take place, then brought back in an organised way once the new layout is ready.
Urgent or Short-Notice Situations
Not every move is planned months in advance. If you need to vacate quickly due to a change in tenancy, urgent sale or work commitments, we can often arrange same-day or next-day collection, giving you secure storage at short notice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage in Camden cost?
Storage costs depend on three main factors: how much space you need, how long you need it for, and whether you require packing and collection. We usually charge by the cubic foot or by unit size, with weekly or monthly rates. Collection and redelivery are priced separately based on location and access. Once we understand what you are storing and for how long, we will give you a clear written quote with all charges explained, so you can budget confidently with no surprises.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
In many cases, yes. If we have vehicle and storage capacity available, we can arrange same-day or next-day collection within Camden and nearby areas. Urgent moves are more likely to be accommodated on weekdays, but we do our best to help whenever you call. The more information you can provide when you enquire – item list, addresses, access details – the quicker we can confirm availability and pricing. For guaranteed dates, booking in advance is always recommended.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being collected and delivered, and by our storage cover while in the facility, subject to our terms and conditions. There are limits and exclusions, particularly for very high-value items, so we will explain these clearly before you book. If you have possessions of exceptional value, we may recommend additional specialist cover. Our aim is that you always understand exactly how your belongings are protected.
What is included in your storage service?
Our standard storage service includes professional collection from your property, careful loading, transport to our secure facility, storage in a clean and dry environment, and redelivery at the end of your storage period. We provide protective blankets and standard furniture covers as part of the service. Optional extras include full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and additional access or inventory requests. We tailor the service to your circumstances rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all package.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van usually offers transport only, with limited or no insurance, variable standards and little accountability. Our service is a structured, professional removals and storage operation. We employ trained staff, use suitable vehicles and equipment, and provide proper insurance for your belongings. We also plan each job carefully, advise on packing, and manage the full process from door to store and back again. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs for you.
How far in advance should I book storage?
Ideally, book as soon as you know you will need storage, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. One to two weeks’ notice is usually enough for most Camden jobs, but we can often help at shorter notice if our schedule allows. Early booking gives you more choice of collection times and can help you secure better rates for longer-term storage. If your dates are uncertain, we can be flexible and adjust your booking as your plans become clearer.
