At Removal Van Fulham, we provide safe, flexible and fully managed storage solutions for households and businesses across Fulham and the surrounding areas.

Professional Storage Services in Fulham
Our storage service is designed for anyone who needs extra space, temporary or long term, without the hassle of doing it yourself. We collect your items, wrap and protect them, load them carefully and place them into secure storage. When you are ready, we bring everything back and place it exactly where you want it.
We offer:
- Short-term storage – ideal between moves, renovations or term times
- Long-term storage – for items you want to keep safe but don’t need daily
- Containerised storage – sealed units packed by our trained team
- Business storage – stock, equipment, files and office furniture
- Student storage – simple, budget-friendly summer and gap-year options
Local Fulham Expertise You Can Rely On
Working in Fulham every day means we understand tight streets, parking restrictions and building access issues. We plan collections and deliveries around local traffic patterns, school runs and loading rules to keep your storage move running smoothly.
Whether you are in a mansion flat off the Fulham Road, a riverside property, a terraced house near Parsons Green or a business close to Fulham Broadway, our crews know how to navigate the area efficiently and respectfully.
Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, decluttering for viewings, renovating or downsizing, our home storage protects furniture, appliances and personal items while you get everything else sorted.
Renters
For tenants between properties or moving in with a partner, storage gives you breathing space while you decide what to keep, sell or donate, without rushing important decisions.
Landlords
We work with landlords needing furniture storage between tenancies, temporary removal of items for refurbishments, or safe storage for fixtures and fittings.
Businesses
From sole traders to growing companies, we provide business storage for office furniture, archived files, exhibition stands, seasonal stock and equipment, with flexible access arranged through our office.
Students
Students in Fulham and nearby campuses use our student storage for summer breaks, placements and gap years. We collect from halls or shared houses and deliver when term starts again.

Our storage is suitable for most everyday household and office items, including:
- Domestic furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs

- Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and racking
- IT equipment carefully wrapped and secured
- Sports equipment, bicycles, hobby and craft items

- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including paint, petrol, gas bottles and solvents)

How Our Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact our office with details of what you need to store, where from and for how long. We ask a few questions to understand volume, access and timing, then provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger loads, awkward access or business storage, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess parking, staircases and lifts, and to recommend the right number of staff, packing materials and storage space.
3. Packing & Preparation
On collection day, our trained team arrives with protective materials. We can provide full packing, partial packing for fragile items, or simply supply boxes if you prefer to pack yourself. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are bagged and delicate items are carefully protected for storage.
4. Loading & Transport
We load your belongings systematically, creating an inventory where required. Goods are secured in our vehicles and transported directly to our storage facility. Everything is handled by our own professional crews from door to door.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the facility, items are unloaded into your allocated container or area. We stack and position goods to minimise pressure on delicate pieces and ensure efficient use of space. Your storage unit is then sealed or locked until you request redelivery.
Transparent, Fair Pricing for Storage
We base our pricing on three main elements:
- The volume of items to be stored (space required)
- The length of time you need storage
- Collection and redelivery costs, including any packing service
You receive a clear written quote outlining:
- Weekly or monthly storage charges
- Collection and delivery fees
- Any agreed packing materials or services
There are no surprise extra charges. If your needs change – for example, you add items, remove items or extend your stay – we explain any pricing adjustments in advance.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Trying to organise storage yourself or using an unregulated man-and-van can lead to damage, poor access, lack of insurance and unexpected costs. With us, you benefit from:
- Professionally trained crews who know how to pack, lift and stack safely
- Purpose-selected materials to protect furniture and fragile items
- Secure storage facilities, not sheds or garages
- Documented inventories and labelled containers where required
- Clear contracts and fully insured services, rather than cash-in-hand risks
In short, your belongings are better protected, easier to retrieve and handled with proper care from start to finish.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a professional removals and storage company, we maintain comprehensive insurance and safety standards.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while being moved between your property and the storage facility.
- Public liability cover – protects you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage during our work.
- Trained moving teams – all staff receive handling, safety and customer-care training, and follow established procedures.
We are committed to working carefully, documenting work properly and resolving any issues promptly and fairly.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your belongings are treated as if they were our own. We use clean blankets, furniture pads, mattress bags and sturdy cartons to protect against dust, scuffs and knocks. Items are stacked to distribute weight evenly and avoid long-term pressure on delicate pieces.
We also consider our environmental impact. Where possible we:
- Use reusable crates and blankets rather than disposable materials
- Source recyclable packing materials
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House with a Gap Between Dates
If your sale completes before your purchase, our combined removals and storage service bridges the gap. We collect everything on completion day, store it safely and deliver as soon as you get the keys to your new home.
Office Refurbishment or Relocation
Businesses use our storage during refurbishments, relocations and reconfigurations. We remove furniture, IT equipment and files, store them securely, then return and reinstall when the workspace is ready.
Urgent or Last-Minute Storage
Life does not always run to plan. If you need urgent storage because of a sudden change of circumstances, we do our best to arrange fast collection and short-notice space, subject to availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage in Fulham cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: the volume of items, the length of time you need storage and the collection/delivery charges. Smaller loads stored for a short period will obviously cost less than a full household stored for several months. Once we understand what you have and how long you expect to store, we provide a clear written quote showing storage fees and any packing or transport costs. There are no hidden extras, and we are happy to talk through options to keep within your budget.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage for urgent situations such as last-minute move changes, tenancy issues or emergency works. The earlier you can call us, the better chance we have of securing space and scheduling a crew. We will run through what you need to store, access at your property and any time constraints, then confirm what is realistically possible that day or the next. Urgent work is always handled with the same level of care as planned moves.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while we move them and by our storage cover while they are in our facility, subject to policy terms and any declared values. We explain the level of cover included as standard and can often arrange higher limits for particularly valuable loads. You are also welcome to maintain your own contents insurance if it offers additional protection. Our team is happy to answer detailed questions about insurance before you book.
What is included in your storage service?
Our standard service includes collection from your property, careful loading, transport to our storage facility and secure storage for the agreed period. We provide basic protection such as blankets and furniture wrapping, with optional full or partial packing if you prefer us to handle boxing. When you are ready, we arrange redelivery and place items in the rooms you specify. We can also supply packing materials in advance if you want to pack yourself. Everything is outlined clearly in your written quote and booking confirmation.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without proper packing, inventory, insurance or secure storage. Our service is a complete managed solution: trained staff, suitable vehicles, protective materials, documented handling and secure facilities. We are accountable for your belongings from collection to redelivery, rather than dropping them at a third-party unit for you to deal with alone. For anything more than a few low-value items, professional storage provides far greater protection and peace of mind.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly during busy periods such as summer, month-end and school holidays. This gives us time to schedule a survey if needed, organise materials and secure the right amount of storage space. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always try to help with shorter notice where capacity allows. Contact us as soon as you know you may need storage and we will advise on availability and options.
