Who Our Hatton Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect if you are between houses, renovating, downsizing, or simply need to clear space while you declutter or stage your home for sale. We can store entire house contents or just those items you don’t currently have room for.
Renters
If your tenancy dates don’t quite line up or you are moving into furnished accommodation, we offer short to medium term storage to bridge the gap. We can also store bulky items that won’t fit into your new rental.
Landlords
Hatton landlords often use us to store furniture and appliances between lets, during refurbishments, or when changing from furnished to unfurnished. We can collect from multiple properties and consolidate into one storage space.
Businesses
From files and marketing materials to stock, archives and office furniture, our commercial storage offers flexible space without a long lease. Ideal for growing businesses that need overflow capacity without committing to larger premises.
Students
Students in and around Hatton use our storage during holidays, gap years, and house moves. We collect from halls or shared houses, store your belongings safely, and bring them back when term starts or when you return to the UK.

How Our Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We discuss access, volumes and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote showing collection, storage and redelivery costs so you know exactly where you stand.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger storage jobs, we arrange a short video or onsite survey at your Hatton property. This lets us assess volume accurately, plan for access and parking, and identify any items needing extra protection. Accurate surveying keeps your costs fair and avoids last-minute surprises.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or choose our full packing service. Our team brings the right cartons, wrapping and tape, then packs systematically to minimise risk of damage. Furniture is wrapped or covered, mattresses are bagged, and fragile items are clearly labelled so they are handled with appropriate care.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our professional movers arrive on time, protect floors where needed and carefully carry items to the van. We load securely, using ties and blankets to prevent movement in transit. Your goods are then transported directly to our storage facility in a fully insured vehicle, with experienced drivers who know the Hatton area well.
5. Storage, Unloading & Return Delivery
At the facility, items are unloaded into clean, dry, secure storage units. Everything is stacked safely and logically so we can retrieve it efficiently when you are ready. When your storage period ends, we arrange a convenient delivery date and return your belongings, unloading and placing items into the rooms you specify.
Transparent, Fair Pricing for Storage in Hatton
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your overall cost typically includes:
- Collection – van, fuel and labour for our removal team
- Storage – weekly or monthly rate based on the space you actually use
- Return delivery – transport and unloading back to your chosen address
Prices vary depending on volume, access, packing requirements and duration. Longer storage often attracts better rates. We will always explain how your quote has been calculated and are happy to offer options to fit different budgets, such as self-packing or consolidating items to reduce space.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY?
Many people start by looking at DIY self storage or casual man-and-van options. While these can appear cheaper at first glance, they rarely offer the same level of protection or convenience.
- Trained teams know how to lift and load safely, reducing the risk of damage and injury.
- We provide appropriate packing materials and techniques, protecting your belongings in transit and in store.
- Our quotes include transport, so you are not making multiple car or van trips to a distant facility.
- As a fully insured removals and storage company, we meet professional standards that casual operators simply cannot match.
In practice, many customers find that professional collection and storage is more cost-effective once their time, fuel, packing materials and potential breakages are taken into account.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Protecting your belongings is central to how we work. Man with Van Hatton operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being transported between your property and the storage facility.
- Public liability cover – essential protection for any reputable removals and storage business working in and around Hatton.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are taught correct lifting methods, packing principles and how to handle awkward or fragile items safely.
We are serious about doing things properly, from turning up when we say we will to handling claims fairly in the rare event that something does go wrong.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings with the same care we would expect for our own. That means using clean blankets, mattress covers, sofa protectors and proper wrapping materials where required. Items are stacked logically in storage, avoiding overloading or crushing boxes.
We also consider the environment. Wherever possible we reuse durable packing materials, recycle cardboard, and plan routes around Hatton efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. Our aim is to provide a reliable service while keeping waste and emissions to a sensible minimum.
Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House with a Gap Between Completions
Property chains do not always line up neatly. We regularly help Hatton homeowners who must move out before their new place is ready. We collect the full contents of the house, store everything securely for a few days or weeks, then deliver to the new property on completion.
Office Refurbishment or Relocation
Local businesses use our storage when refurbishing offices, changing layouts or moving to new premises. Desks, chairs, filing cabinets and equipment can be held off-site so contractors have a clear space to work, then returned and reinstalled once the project is complete.
Urgent or Same-Week Storage
Occasionally, life events mean you need storage at very short notice – a sudden move, separation or urgent declutter ahead of a sale. Where our schedule allows, we offer rapid response collections in Hatton, getting your belongings into safe storage quickly so you can focus on the rest of your arrangements.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage in Hatton cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much you are storing, how long for, and whether you need us to pack as well as collect. We charge a collection fee based on the size of vehicle and number of movers required, plus a weekly or monthly storage rate calculated from the volume of your goods. Return delivery is priced in the same transparent way. During your quote, we will explain each element clearly so you can see exactly what you are paying for and adjust the service to suit your budget.
Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?
In many cases we can offer same-day or short-notice storage in Hatton, especially outside the busiest periods. If you require urgent help, call us as early as possible and we will check vehicle and team availability. We will always be honest about what we can realistically achieve on the day. Even when same-day collection is not possible, we can usually arrange a priority booking within the next day or two and advise on how best to prepare your items in the meantime.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your property and the storage facility, and we also carry public liability cover. Standard storage insurance covers most household and office contents up to agreed limits. We will outline these limits when you book and can often arrange higher-value cover on request. It is important that you declare any particularly valuable items and retain your own home or business insurance where appropriate, as this may offer additional protection.
What is included in your storage service?
Our storage service can be as comprehensive as you wish. As standard, we provide collection by a professional removals team, safe loading of your goods, secure transport to our storage facility and careful stacking in a clean, dry unit. On request, we can also supply packing materials or a full packing service where our team boxes and wraps everything for you. When your storage term ends, we arrange return delivery and place items back into the rooms you specify, making the whole process straightforward.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?
A casual man-and-van will usually just move items from A to B, often without proper insurance, training or storage facilities. Our service is run by trained removals professionals who understand packing, lifting and protecting goods. We provide fully insured transport, secure storage units and a clear process from quotation through to redelivery. You benefit from predictable standards, accountability and the reassurance that your belongings are handled by a regulated business rather than an informal operator.
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, particularly during peak moving periods such as summer and month-end. That said, we understand storage needs can arise unexpectedly, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. Once you know roughly when you will need collection, contact us for a provisional booking. We can then firm up the details as your plans become clearer, keeping your preferred slot reserved wherever possible.
