Local Kennington Expertise

Working daily in Kennington and the surrounding areas, we understand the realities of local properties and streets: narrow staircases, controlled parking zones, loading restrictions and time pressures. We plan every storage collection and redelivery around these factors to keep things running smoothly.

Because we are genuinely local, we can often offer short-notice collections and flexible delivery windows, helping you bridge awkward gaps between tenancies, sale completions or refurbishment schedules.

Who Our Storage Service is For

Homeowners

Perfect if you are selling, decluttering for viewings, staging your home, or storing items while you renovate. We can remove bulky furniture and boxes, hold them securely, then bring them back when your new place is ready.

Renters

If you are changing rental properties, relocating temporarily, or moving overseas, storage lets you keep your belongings safe without paying for an empty flat. We can collect on move-out day and redeliver when you sign the next tenancy.

Landlords

We help landlords store furniture during refurbishments or when converting between furnished and unfurnished lets. We can also clear and store items from properties between tenancies, keeping everything catalogued and protected.

Businesses

Our storage is ideal for excess office furniture, archived files, displays, seasonal stock and equipment. We can also support office relocations by holding items during phased moves, so trading is disrupted as little as possible.

Students

Kennington and nearby students often need storage over summer or during a year abroad. We collect from halls or shared houses, store everything safely, and redeliver to your new address when term begins.

What We Can Store

Our storage solutions cover most household and office items, including:

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other furniture (dismantled where required)
• Cartons of personal belongings and clothing
• Books, ornaments and household goods
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT peripherals
• Archive boxes and documents
• Bikes and small leisure equipment
• Kitchenware and small appliances

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we must exclude from storage:

• Perishable or open food and drink
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles, paints, solvents)
• Illegal items or substances
• Live plants, animals or any living organisms
• Cash, high-value jewellery and irreplaceable documents (such as passports)
• Unregistered firearms or weapons

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 rough list of what needs storing, your current address, and any access details. We provide an initial guide price and discuss timings, duration of storage and any packing help you may need.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger consignments, we carry out a quick video or onsite survey. This allows us to confirm the volume, assess access (stairs, lifts, parking) and check for any special items. From this we provide a clear written quotation, with no obligation.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed date, our trained team arrives with suitable packing materials. We can offer:

• Full packing service – we pack everything for you
• Part packing – we pack fragile or complex items only
• Self packing – you pack, and we supply materials if required

Furniture is protected with covers and blankets; fragile items are carefully wrapped and boxed.

4. Loading & Transport

We load your goods methodically, using trolleys and lifting equipment where needed. Everything is inventoried and labelled so we know exactly what is stored. Your items are then transported to our secure storage facility in our fully insured vehicles.

5. Storage, Unloading & Future Redelivery

On arrival, we unload into your allocated storage space, stacking safely to prevent damage. When you are ready, simply contact us to book redelivery. We return your belongings to your new or existing address in Kennington (or elsewhere in the UK), place furniture in the rooms you choose, and remove any packing materials we supplied.

Transparent Pricing for Storage in Kennington

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will typically include:

• Collection from your Kennington address
• Any agreed packing services and materials
• Transport to the storage facility
• Weekly or monthly storage charges based on volume
• Redelivery from storage to your chosen address

Costs depend mainly on the volume of goods, access at both ends, the level of packing assistance required and how long you need storage. There are no surprise fees – any potential additional charges, such as extended access times or out-of-hours work, are always discussed in advance.

Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY

Using a professional removals and storage company like Man with Van Kennington offers several advantages over arranging self-storage and doing it yourself:

• Time-saving – we handle the lifting, packing, loading and transport
• Reduced risk – items are packed and stacked correctly to avoid damage
• Insurance-backed protection for your goods in transit and in storage
• Proper equipment – trolleys, covers, straps and vehicles designed for removals
• Accountability – one company responsible for the entire process

Compared with a casual man-and-van service, we provide structured planning, trained staff, documented inventories and clear insurance cover, which is crucial when you are storing your possessions for any length of time.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, both practically and emotionally. We support this with robust protection and standards:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while we transport them between your property and storage
• Public liability cover – protecting you and your property during our work on-site
• Fully insured storage arrangements with secure facilities
• Trained moving teams experienced in packing, lifting and handling delicate items

We follow best practices for wrapping, loading and stacking, and our team is briefed on treating every item with care, from everyday furniture to sentimental pieces.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to protect both your belongings and the environment wherever possible. We use high-quality protective materials, reusable furniture blankets and robust cartons that can be recycled or re-used. Where we can, we minimise unnecessary journeys by combining collections and deliveries in the Kennington area, helping to reduce emissions.

We also encourage re-use of cartons and offer advice on how to pack efficiently, so you need fewer materials and less storage space overall.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House with a Gap Between Dates

One of the most common scenarios in Kennington is a sale completing before the new purchase is ready. We collect everything on completion day, store it securely, then deliver to your new home once you get the keys.

Office Refurbishment or Relocation

Businesses often use our storage when refurbishing or downsizing. We remove surplus desks, chairs and files, store them, and later either return them to the new office layout or deliver to another branch.

Urgent or Same-Week Storage

Sometimes tenants need to vacate quickly, or works start sooner than expected. Where possible, we can provide urgent storage collections in Kennington, giving you breathing space to sort out your next steps without losing possessions or rushing decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Kennington cost?

Storage costs are mainly based on the volume of items, how long you need storage, and whether you require packing or just collection and delivery. We usually quote per week or per month for the storage itself, plus a one-off charge for collection and eventual redelivery. Smaller consignments such as student belongings may be surprisingly affordable when compared with self-storage plus van hire. We are always happy to provide a clear, itemised quotation once we know what you need to store and for how long.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice storage collections in Kennington. This is particularly common when a move falls through at the last minute, or a landlord or builder changes dates. If you need urgent help, contact us as early in the day as you can with basic details: address, access and a rough list of items. We will confirm availability, realistic timings and costs, and, if we can assist, we will prioritise your collection to get everything safely stored.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while we move them to and from storage, and by the storage provider’s own cover while they are in the facility. We will explain the key terms, any single-item limits and what is and is not covered before you book. For very high-value items, we may recommend that you inform your own insurer or arrange top-up cover if needed. Our aim is always to give you clear, written information so you understand exactly how your belongings are insured.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes collection from your property, careful handling by a trained team, loading into our fully insured vehicles, transport to the storage facility, and unloading into your allocated space. We also provide basic inventory labelling so what you store is clearly recorded. Packing services and materials can be added as required, from packing just fragile items through to a full packing service. When you are ready, we arrange redelivery back to your home or office and place furniture where you want it.

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

A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, leaving you to organise packing, storage and insurance yourself. With Man with Van Kennington, you get a structured, end-to-end storage solution. We provide planning, professional handling, proper protection materials, clear documentation and appropriate insurance for your goods. Our team is experienced in longer-term storage, so items are packed and stacked to remain safe over time. For anyone storing possessions for more than a few days, this level of care and accountability makes a significant difference.

How far in advance should I book storage?

Ideally, you should contact us as soon as you know you may need storage, especially during busy moving periods such as summer and month-end. This gives us the best chance to reserve the right size of storage space and suitable collection slots. That said, we regularly help clients at short notice when plans change unexpectedly. Even if your dates are not confirmed, we can provide a provisional quotation and discuss options so you are prepared if storage becomes necessary.
