Homeowners
If you’re selling, renovating or downsizing, our storage gives you breathing space. Declutter before photos and viewings, store furniture during building works, or keep surplus items safe while you decide what stays and what goes.
Renters
Between tenancies or relocating temporarily? We’ll collect your contents, store everything securely, and deliver to your new place on the agreed date. Ideal if you have a gap between rental contracts or are waiting for a new property to be ready.

Need to clear a property quickly for new tenants or refurbishment? We offer flexible storage for furniture, white goods and contents while you redecorate or reconfigure the property, with itemised inventories so you know exactly what’s held and where.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us with a rough list of what you need to store and your dates. We’ll ask a few questions about volume, access and timings, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and redelivery. Costs are explained in plain language so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger loads or business storage, we may recommend a short survey. This can often be done virtually via video, or in person if access is complex. The survey lets us confirm required space, vehicle size, number of movers and any packing materials needed, ensuring there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or choose our packing service where our trained team supply boxes, wrapping and tape. Fragile and high-risk items are wrapped and protected carefully. Everything is labelled clearly so we can create an inventory for storage and you can easily identify boxes when they’re returned.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
On collection day, we arrive at the agreed time, protect doorways and key walkways, then carefully load your belongings. Items are strapped and positioned securely in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We then transport everything directly to our storage facility, where it’s unloaded into your allocated space.
5. Unloading, Storage & Final Delivery
At the facility, goods are unloaded, stacked safely and recorded on our internal inventory system. When you’re ready for your items back, simply book a delivery slot. We’ll load your goods, return them to your new address, and place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing for storage in Newington. Your quote will typically include:
- Collection: vehicle, fuel and professional movers
- Storage: a weekly or monthly rate based on the volume needed
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Redelivery from storage to your chosen address
There are no hidden charges for basic access or standard handling. Any potential extras (such as multiple delivery addresses or out-of-hours work) are discussed in advance so you can make an informed decision.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Basic Man-and-Van?
Using a casual man-and-van or trying to self-store may seem cheaper, but often leads to damage, poor packing and confusion when you need items back. With us you get a fully insured, trained removals team who understand how to handle and stack items to minimise risk.
We manage the full chain: collection, inventory, secure storage and redelivery. You avoid multiple trips, heavy lifting and the uncertainty of who is responsible if something goes wrong. Our methods are designed to protect your belongings and your time.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Man with Van Newington operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance while your items are being collected or delivered
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Trained, experienced moving teams who follow proven handling techniques
We work to professional standards on every job, from small student loads to full house contents, with clear communication and written confirmations of bookings and key details.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We use appropriate coverings, blankets and wrapping materials to protect furniture, fragile items and surfaces. Items are stacked to avoid crushing and to allow safe retrieval later.
Where possible, we choose reusable crates, blankets and sturdy cartons to reduce waste. We also aim to plan our routes efficiently around Newington and the surrounding areas to cut unnecessary mileage, helping to minimise our environmental impact.
Real-World Storage Use Cases in Newington
Moving House
Completing on your sale before your new home is ready is common. We can move your belongings out, store them for the required period, then deliver everything to the new property on move-in day, making chain delays far less stressful.
Office Relocation or Refurbishment
For businesses, temporary storage is invaluable during refurbishments or relocations. We can hold desks, IT equipment and archives while your new layout is installed, then deliver in phases so your team can get back to work quickly and safely.
Urgent or Last-Minute Storage
Sometimes things change quickly: a sale completes unexpectedly, a tenancy ends suddenly, or building works overrun. Subject to availability, we can arrange same-day or next-day collection and storage from Newington addresses, giving you fast, practical support when you need it most.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage in Newington cost?
Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need and for how long. We usually price by volume (for example, number of rooms or estimated cubic feet) and then apply a weekly or monthly rate. Collection and redelivery are quoted separately so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. Smaller student or partial-house loads are often more affordable than people expect. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us with a brief list or photos of your items.
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 from your Newington property. This is particularly useful for sudden tenancy changes, urgent sales or last-minute renovation work. Let us know your timescales as early as possible and we’ll be honest about what we can do. Even when same-day is not feasible, we work hard to find the earliest realistic slot that fits your situation.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we’re moving them to and from storage, and our public liability cover protects you if we accidentally cause damage to your property. Standard self-storage-style cover for items while in the unit can vary, and we’ll explain clearly what is and isn’t included. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend that you check your own home or business policy, or arrange top-up cover for complete peace of mind.
What’s included in your storage service?
Our storage service typically includes collection from your Newington address, careful loading by a professional team, secure storage in our facility, and redelivery at the end of the storage period. You can add packing materials and a packing service if you’d like us to prepare everything. We also provide basic inventories so you know what’s in storage. Any additional services, such as phased deliveries or access to specific items during storage, can usually be arranged with prior notice.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?
A casual man-and-van will typically just move items from A to B, often without formal insurance, inventories or proper packing. Our service is a structured removals and storage solution: we use trained staff, appropriate protection, documented bookings and defined responsibilities. We also manage the whole process, including storage arrangements and redelivery dates. This reduces the risk of damage, confusion about what’s stored, and disputes if something goes wrong, giving you a much more reliable and accountable service.
How far in advance should I book storage?
Ideally, book as soon as you know your likely dates, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. A week or two’s notice usually gives us good flexibility to align collection, storage and future delivery. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. Even if your dates are not confirmed, it’s helpful to talk to us early so we can pencil you in and advise on the best options for your situation.
