Secure Storage in Kentish Town with Kentish Town Man and Van

At Kentish Town Man and Van, we provide secure, flexible storage solutions in and around Kentish Town for homes, students and businesses. Whether you need short-term storage between moves or a longer-term solution for business stock, we combine professional removals expertise with safe, well-managed storage facilities.

Local Storage Expertise in Kentish Town

We have been helping people move in and out of Kentish Town, Camden, Tufnell Park, Gospel Oak and the surrounding areas for years. That local knowledge means we can collect, store and return your belongings efficiently, avoiding delays and keeping disruption to a minimum.

As a local, professional operator, we understand the realities of North London life: limited parking, tight staircases, short tenancies and last-minute landlord deadlines. Our storage service is designed around those challenges.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are refurbishing, decluttering for a sale, or in a gap between completion dates, our storage is ideal. We can collect furniture, white goods, boxes and fragile items, store them securely, then deliver to your new home on the date you choose.

Renters

Short-term lets and fixed end dates often mean you must move out before your next place is ready. We provide flexible storage for a few days, weeks or months, with collections and returns timed around your tenancy dates.

Landlords

Need to clear a property quickly between tenants, or store landlord’s furniture during refurbishment? We can remove and store items room by room, providing a clear inventory and safe storage until the property is ready again.

Businesses

Our storage is suitable for office furniture, archived files, marketing materials, excess stock and equipment. Whether you are downsizing, relocating, or simply short of space, we offer secure, flexible storage with a full collection and redelivery service.

Students

Students at local universities and colleges can avoid hauling everything home for summer. We collect boxes, suitcases, small furniture and bikes from your accommodation, store them securely, and bring them back next term or to a new address.

What We Can Store

Most everyday household and business items can be safely stored, including:

• Furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, desks
• Boxes of personal belongings and clothing
• Books, media and personal collections
• Office furniture, chairs and filing cabinets
• IT equipment and small electronics (properly packed)
• Sports equipment and bicycles
• Decor, artwork and framed pictures (with suitable protection)

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our storage service:

• Perishable goods or food
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including paint, fuel, gas bottles and chemicals)
• Illegal items or contraband
• Live plants or animals
• Cash, jewellery or high-value collectibles better suited to a safe or specialist facility
• Weapons or ammunition

If you are unsure whether something can be stored, we will advise you clearly before collection.

Our Storage Process – Step by Step

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with basic details: what you need to store, property access, and your preferred dates. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining collection, storage charges and redelivery costs.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger loads, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volume, access (stairs, parking, lifts) and any special packing needs. The survey ensures our quote is accurate and that the right vehicle and team size are allocated.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own items, or choose our professional packing service. We supply quality boxes and materials, and our trained movers pack fragile items, wrap furniture and label everything clearly. Furniture can be disassembled where necessary for safer handling and storage.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

On collection day, our team arrives at the agreed time. We protect floors and doorways where needed, then carefully load your items using blankets, straps and appropriate lifting techniques. Your goods are then transported directly to our secure storage facility.

5. Unloading, Storage & Return Delivery

At the facility, items are unloaded into your allocated space, stacked safely and recorded on our internal inventory. When you are ready for your belongings back, we arrange a convenient delivery date, return everything to your new address and place items in the rooms you choose.

Transparent Storage Pricing

Our pricing is straightforward and explained in full before you commit. Typical costs include:

• Collection and loading – based on vehicle size, team size and access
• Storage – usually a weekly or monthly rate, determined by volume required
• Optional packing materials and packing service
• Return delivery and unloading

We do not hide fees for basic items such as blankets or straps, and we will always make clear any additional charges that may apply (for example, difficult access or out-of-hours work). You only pay for the space and service you actually need.

Why Use Professional Storage with Removals Support?

Using a professional storage and removals company is usually more efficient and cost effective than hiring a van and doing it yourself. Our experienced teams know how to pack and stack safely, reducing the risk of damage and making best use of storage space. That means you often need less storage than expected.

DIY moves can lead to injuries, broken items and wasted time. With us, you benefit from trained staff, proper equipment, suitable vehicles and insurance-backed cover, all coordinated by people who move and store goods every day.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We operate to clear, professional standards, with robust protection in place:

• Goods in transit insurance – cover while your belongings are being transported between your property and the storage facility.
• Public liability cover – protection for you and your property while we are working on site.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced, carefully selected and instructed in safe handling, lifting and packing methods.

We will outline the key terms and limits of our insurance so you know exactly what is covered and when. If you require additional cover for particularly high-value items, we can discuss options.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Your belongings are treated with the same care we would give our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses bagged where requested, and fragile items protected with appropriate materials. We use clean, well-maintained vehicles and modern handling equipment.

We also aim to work responsibly. We reuse strong packing materials where suitable, recommend right-sized storage to avoid waste, and consolidate journeys where possible to reduce unnecessary mileage. When clients no longer want some items, we can advise on donation or recycling options rather than disposal.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

Completion dates do not always line up neatly. We regularly collect full house contents from Kentish Town properties, store them for a few days or weeks, and deliver to the new home once contracts complete. This avoids panic moving and rushed decisions about what to keep.

Office Relocation or Refurbishment

When offices are being refitted or downsized, our storage allows you to keep furniture, documents and equipment safe off-site. We can phase collections and deliveries to suit your project schedule, minimising downtime for your team.

Urgent or Last-Minute Moves

Landlord issues, break-ups or sudden job changes sometimes mean you need to clear a property very quickly. Where capacity allows, we can provide rapid collection and secure storage, giving you breathing space to make longer-term decisions calmly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Kentish Town cost?

Costs depend mainly on how much you need to store, how long for, and the access at your property. We charge a collection fee based on the vehicle and team required, plus a weekly or monthly storage rate reflecting the space you use. Return delivery is priced separately so you can clearly see each element. After a short discussion, or a survey for larger jobs, we provide a written, itemised quote so you know exactly what you will be paying before you decide.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?

Where our schedule and storage space allow, we can arrange same-day or very short-notice collections in Kentish Town and nearby areas. Urgent moves depend on vehicle and team availability, so it is always best to call as early as possible. We will give you an honest answer about what we can realistically do that day, and suggest alternatives if needed. Even on urgent jobs, we still work carefully and methodically to protect your belongings and keep a basic record of what goes into storage.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from the facility, and the storage provider maintains cover for goods held within their premises, subject to specific terms. We explain the key limits and exclusions in plain language so you know where you stand. For particularly high-value items or collections, we may recommend that you notify your own insurer or arrange top-up cover. Our aim is always to give clear information rather than small print surprises later.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard service includes collection from your address, careful loading with protective blankets, transport to the storage facility, unloading into your allocated space, and secure storage for the agreed period. On return, we deliver your belongings to your chosen address and place them in the relevant rooms. Optional extras include packing materials, a professional packing service, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and additional handling for unusually heavy or awkward items. We will outline exactly what is and is not included in your written quote.

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

A casual man-and-van service often focuses only on transport, with limited support, variable standards and no integrated storage solution. With us, you get a coordinated service from trained movers, clear paperwork, and insurance-backed cover. We manage the full journey: collection, packing if required, transport, storage and redelivery. DIY storage can seem cheaper initially, but once you factor in van hire, time off work, fuel, packing materials and the risk of damage, a professional service is often better value and considerably less stressful.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer. That said, we regularly accommodate shorter-notice jobs and will always try to help if we have capacity. As soon as you know your likely dates, get in touch for a quote and provisional booking. If your plans change slightly, we can normally adjust within reason, as long as we have some notice.
