Storage in Epsom with Epsom Man and Van

At Epsom Man and Van we provide secure, flexible storage solutions for households and businesses across Epsom and the surrounding areas. As a local removals and storage company, we understand how stressful moving, renovating or decluttering can be, and we’ve built our storage service to be straightforward, reliable and cost-effective.

Professional Storage Solutions in Epsom

Our storage service is designed to give you safe, dry, and accessible space for anything you can’t or don’t want to keep at your property. We combine professional removals handling with modern, alarmed storage facilities, so your belongings are collected, packed, transported and stored correctly from start to finish.

Whether you need a single room’s worth of furniture stored for a few weeks, or the contents of an entire office for several months, we can scale the space and service to suit you.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

If you’re between homes, renovating, or presenting your property for sale, our storage in Epsom keeps your furniture and personal items safe until you’re ready for them. We can collect, pack, store and then redeliver to your new address on the date you choose.

Renters

Tenancy changeover dates don’t always line up. Our flexible storage is ideal if you have a gap between rentals, are moving in with a partner, or working abroad for a period. Store what you don’t want to give up, without paying for a larger property.

Landlords

Landlords use our storage service to hold furniture during refurbishments, void periods or while converting properties between furnished and unfurnished lets. We offer reliable collections and returns, and we can work around contractor schedules.

Businesses

From office furniture to stock, marketing materials and archive boxes, businesses in Epsom rely on our secure storage when relocating, downsizing or freeing up expensive office space. We provide professional inventory handling and can coordinate deliveries and collections during business hours.

Students

Students at local universities and colleges often need somewhere safe for belongings over summer. Our storage service is ideal if you’re returning home for a few months and don’t want the hassle of bringing everything with you.

We can safely store most household and office contents, including:

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other large furniture

• Bicycles and small hobby equipment

• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (paints, fuels, gas bottles, chemicals)
• Perishable goods or food items

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or email with an outline of what you need to store and for how long. We ask a few questions about volume, access and dates. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and return, so you know exactly what to budget for.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger loads or more complex jobs, we arrange a short virtual or onsite survey. This lets us accurately assess how much space you’ll need, the right vehicle, and any access issues. A proper survey helps avoid surprises on the day and ensures a smooth, efficient service.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer both self-pack and professional packing options. If you pack yourself, we can supply quality boxes and materials. If you prefer, our trained team carefully packs and wraps items using furniture blankets, mattress protectors and export-strength cartons. Everything is clearly labelled for easy retrieval later.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

On the agreed day, our professional movers arrive on time, protect floors and key walkways, and load your belongings safely onto our vehicles. We use ties, blankets and proper stacking techniques to keep everything secure in transit. Your goods are then transported directly to our secure storage facility.

5. Unloading, Storage & Redelivery

At the facility, items are checked off, placed into the allocated storage unit or container and secured. When you’re ready, simply contact us to arrange redelivery. We bring everything back, unload, and place items into the rooms you choose, helping to make move-in day far easier.

Transparent Storage Pricing

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Your quote is based on:

• The volume of goods to be stored (space required)
• Length of time in storage (short or long term)
• Collection and redelivery distance from Epsom
• Whether you require professional packing materials and labour

There are no hidden extras. Any additional services, such as packing, dismantling furniture or weekend work, are clearly itemised in advance so you can decide what you do or don’t need.

Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY

It’s tempting to borrow a van and cram belongings into a friend’s garage or a cheap lock-up. In practice, DIY storage often leads to damage, damp and access problems. Our service combines trained handling, appropriate wrapping, secure vehicles and monitored storage, reducing the risk of breakage or loss.

You also save your own time and effort. Instead of multiple trips and heavy lifting, our team does the hard work, ensuring items are stacked correctly and can be located easily when you need them.

Insurance & Professional Standards

As an established removals and storage company in Epsom, we maintain robust protections for our customers:

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while we are collecting and delivering
• Public liability cover for work in and around your property
• Fully insured storage facilities with modern security systems
• Trained moving teams experienced in handling delicate and bulky items

We follow industry best practice for wrapping, lifting and stacking, and our staff are briefed on care, discretion and respect for your property at all times.

Care, Protection & Sustainability

We take the long-term condition of your belongings seriously. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are protected, and boxes are stacked to avoid crushing. We avoid overloading containers and keep pathways clear to reduce handling damage when retrieving items.

From a sustainability point of view, we reuse robust packing materials where appropriate, encourage customers to choose recyclable cartons, and plan routes efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage. Taking care of your goods and the environment goes hand in hand with running a responsible local business.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

Chain delays, overlapping completion dates and renovation work often mean you can’t move everything straight into your new home. Our storage gives you breathing space, keeping non-essential items secure while you settle in and avoid clutter.

Office Relocation or Refurbishment

When relocating or refitting an office, keeping furniture and equipment offsite can be essential. We can store archived documents, surplus desks and seasonal displays, returning them in stages as your new layout comes together.

Urgent & Same-Day Storage

Occasionally, customers need storage at short notice due to a sale completing early, a last-minute tenancy issue, or emergency works. Where capacity allows, we offer same-day or next-day collections in Epsom and nearby areas, providing rapid, organised storage when plans change unexpectedly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage with Epsom Man and Van cost?

Costs depend on how much you store, how long you store it for, and whether you need collection, redelivery and packing. We typically price storage per unit of space per week or month, with separate charges for removals work. After a quick discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote showing each element, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for and adjust the level of service to suit your budget.

Do you offer same-day or urgent storage in Epsom?

Where capacity and scheduling allow, we do our best to accommodate same-day or urgent storage needs in Epsom and nearby areas. If you have an unexpected completion date, burst pipe, or sudden tenancy change, call us as soon as possible with details of what needs storing and by when. We’ll confirm availability, outline any additional costs for urgent work, and, if we can fit you in, arrange a rapid collection and secure storage the same day or next.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we collect and deliver them, and by our facility’s insurance while they’re stored with us, subject to policy terms and declared values. We’ll explain the cover limits and any exclusions when you book, and you’re welcome to supplement this with your own insurance if you prefer. Our secure, monitored facilities and professional handling significantly reduce risk, but proper insurance provides additional peace of mind.

What’s included in your storage service?

As standard, we provide secure, dry, monitored storage space for your goods, plus an inventory and basic protective materials such as blankets. Most customers also book our collection and redelivery service, where our trained team handles all loading and unloading. Optional extras include professional packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and packing materials supplied in advance. Your quote will clearly state exactly what is included so you can tailor the service to your needs.

How is this different from a basic man-and-van or self-storage?

With a casual man-and-van, you’re usually responsible for finding storage, booking units and managing access. With us, removals and storage are integrated. Our professional team surveys, plans, packs, transports and stores your belongings in our own or trusted partner facilities, with proper insurance and inventory control. Compared with pure self-storage, you do far less lifting and logistics, and you benefit from experienced movers who know how to protect items for both transport and long-term storage.

How far in advance should I book storage?

Ideally, book as soon as you know you’ll need storage, especially during busy moving periods such as summer and month-ends. One to three weeks’ notice is usually enough for standard jobs, allowing time for a survey and to secure your preferred dates. However, we understand that plans change quickly, so we’ll always try to help with last-minute requests. The more notice you can give, the more flexibility we’ll have to match your exact schedule and requirements.
