Storage Thornton Heath Pricing and Quotes
At Storage Thornton Heath, our goal is to make storage, removals, and man and van services clear, affordable, and predictable. We use a transparent pricing model with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you book. Whether you are moving from a flat near Thornton Heath High Street or storing furniture from a family house near Grangewood Park, we tailor the cost to the space you actually use and the time you need.
Our Transparent Pricing Model
Our prices for removal company services and man and van cost are built around three simple elements:
1. Load-based or cubic-yard space used on the vehicle or in storage.
2. Time for our man and van teams, where relevant.
3. Any optional extras you choose, such as packing, protective materials, or long-term storage.
We do not charge booking fees, and we never increase the price on the day unless you choose to add extra items or extra services. All quotes are given in writing and are fully itemised so you can see how your removal company prices are calculated.
Load-Based and Cubic-Yard Rates
To keep pricing fair for different property sizes in Thornton Heath, we use load-based and cubic-yard rates. This means you only pay for the actual space your belongings occupy, not an oversized van you do not need.
Cubic-yard pricing for removals and storage
We calculate the volume of your items in cubic yards. This is ideal if you are moving or storing a mixture of boxes, small furniture, and odd-shaped items. For example, a typical one-bedroom flat off London Road often fits into around 40 to 60 cubic yards, while a larger family home near Thornton Heath station might need 80 to 120 cubic yards, depending on how furnished it is.
Half-load, three-quarter load, and full-load options
For customers who prefer simple removal company prices, we also offer standard load bands on our vans:
• Quarter load: Ideal for a studio flat, student move, or part load from a house share.
• Half load: Common for one-bedroom flats and small two-bedroom properties around Brigstock Road and Parchmore Road.
• Three-quarter load: Suits many two-bedroom flats and compact houses in Thornton Heath and surrounding streets.
• Full load: A good match for larger two to three-bedroom homes, or if you have bulky items such as wardrobes, sofas, and appliances.
When we provide your quote, we will suggest whether cubic-yard pricing or a fixed load band gives you the best value.
Man and Van Cost in Thornton Heath
Our man and van service is designed for flexible, budget-friendly moves, collections, and deliveries. Man and van pricing combines time-based rates with the size of vehicle you need. This service is popular for busy locations around Thornton Heath where parking and quick loading are essential, such as near the High Street, Brigstock Parade, and local estates.
Typical man and van pricing structure
• Small van, one porter: Ideal for a handful of boxes, a single mattress, or a few pieces of flat-pack furniture.
• Medium van, one or two porters: Excellent for local flat moves or clearing a storage unit.
• Large Luton-style van, two porters: Suitable for small house moves, business stock moves, or bulky furniture collections.
You can book the man and van service for a minimum time and then add extra time in simple increments if needed. Because you pay for the actual time used, this can keep the man and van cost very competitive for short, local jobs within Thornton Heath and neighbouring areas.
Example Removal Company Prices and Job Types
Every move is different, but real-world examples can help you understand how removal prices and man and van cost work in practice. These examples are typical for the Thornton Heath area and are intended as guides only; your personalised quote will be based on the exact details of your job.
Example 1: Studio flat near Thornton Heath station
A tenant moving from a compact studio with one sofa, a double bed, a wardrobe, and around 15 to 20 boxes. Access is via a lift with reasonable parking outside.
• Load size: Around 20 to 25 cubic yards (usually a quarter load on a medium van).
• Service: Man and van with one porter for a few hours.
• Typical use: Ideal for students, professionals, or first-time renters moving within a few miles.
This sort of move is usually priced on a simple man and van basis, keeping the cost lower than a full removal crew.
Example 2: One-bedroom flat off London Road
A one-bedroom flat with kitchen appliances, a three-seater sofa, small dining table, bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, and 25 to 30 boxes. Access may include stairs and busy on-street parking.
• Load size: Around 35 to 45 cubic yards (often a half-load on a larger van).
• Service: Two-person removal team with load-based pricing.
• Typical use: Young couples, new families, or downsizers moving between flats or into a nearby house.
For this type of job, load-based removal company prices are usually more predictable than hourly man and van alone, especially if there are stairs or tight access.
Example 3: Three-bedroom house near Grangewood Park
A family home with multiple bedrooms, a living room, dining area, garden furniture, and a garage or loft with stored items. Parking is on the street but with good access.
• Load size: Around 80 to 120 cubic yards (often a full vehicle load, sometimes two trips).
• Service: Full moving team with loading and unloading, optional packing, and short-term storage if completion dates do not align.
• Common extras: Dismantling and reassembling beds and wardrobes, protecting large appliances, and temporary storage of seasonal items.
This type of move is quoted in advance with a clear, all-in price based on volume, team size, and any extras, providing certainty for moving day.
Example Storage Jobs and Pricing Approach
Alongside removals and man and van services, many Thornton Heath customers choose to store items during renovations, between tenancies, or while working away.
Short-term storage for flat renovation
A couple renovating a one-bedroom flat near the High Street may store their sofa, bed, wardrobes, and boxes for a few weeks. We collect everything using our man and van service, store it securely at a load-based rate, then return it once work is complete. You pay for the cubic-yard space your items use and the exact number of days in storage.
Long-term storage for business stock
Small local retailers or tradespeople often use our storage to keep excess stock, tools, or seasonal items. You select a space size based on cubic yards and can adjust it if your needs change. This keeps ongoing costs predictable and in line with your business budget.
Free, No-Obligation Quotes

We will ask a few simple questions about your property type, access, and the items you plan to move or store.
