About Storage Old Ford
Storage Old Ford is a locally rooted storage and removal company serving Old Ford and the surrounding area with reliable, environmentally responsible services. From carefully planned home moves to secure local storage, we are focused on making every stage of your move simpler, safer, and greener. Our team lives and works in and around Old Ford, so we understand the streets, estates, and communities we serve better than anyone.
Our Story in Old Ford
Storage Old Ford began as a small family-run removal company helping neighbours move between homes around Old Ford Road, Roman Road, and the traditional streets close to Victoria Park. What started with a single van and a commitment to honest hard work has grown into a respected storage and removal service for the wider area.
For over ten years, we have supported households, students, and local businesses moving across Old Ford, Fish Island, Bow, and further across East London. Our roots are firmly planted in the community: we have moved families into new flats overlooking the Hertford Union Canal, helped businesses relocate from light industrial units near the A12, and provided reliable storage for residents of nearby estates.
Even as we have grown, we have held onto the same local values that shaped us from the beginning: dependability, respect for our customers’ belongings, and a genuine pride in Old Ford and the surrounding area.
Years of Experience and Professional Standards
With more than a decade of continuous operation in the Storage Old Ford area, our team has dealt with every kind of move and storage challenge. From top-floor flats with narrow staircases near Roman Road Market to townhouses around Victoria Park and modern apartments near the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, we know how to plan and carry out moves efficiently and safely.
Every member of our staff is fully trained in safe lifting techniques, packing, loading, and secure storage procedures. We invest in ongoing training to ensure that our team understands the latest best practices in removals, storage security, and recycling. Our removal crews are experienced at working in busy local streets, coordinating access and timing to reduce disruption to neighbours and traffic.
Environment Agency Licensed and Compliant
Storage Old Ford operates as an Environment Agency licensed carrier, broker, and dealer of waste. This means we are authorised to transport and manage unwanted items and waste created during removals and clearances in full compliance with environmental regulations.
When you choose our removal company in the area, you can be confident that your unwanted furniture, appliances, and packaging will be handled responsibly. We do not cut corners or use unlicensed tips. Instead, we work in line with our licensing obligations to minimise environmental impact and to demonstrate full duty of care for every item we remove.
Our Mission
The mission of Storage Old Ford is to provide a dependable, eco-responsible storage and area removal service that feels genuinely local, personal, and professional. We aim to make moving and storing possessions stress free while protecting the environment and supporting the Old Ford community.
Whether we are helping a family move from an estate near Mile End Park, collecting furniture from a flat by the Regent’s Canal, or delivering stored goods back to a home close to Bow Road, our mission stays the same: treat every customer and every item with respect and care.
Eco-Responsibility at the Heart of What We Do
From the beginning, we recognised that removal and storage services have a responsibility to the environment. That is why Storage Old Ford has built eco-responsibility into every stage of our work. We plan our routes carefully when serving the Old Ford area to reduce unnecessary journeys, we consolidate loads where appropriate, and we maintain our vehicles to reduce emissions.
We encourage customers to reuse and recycle wherever possible. Our teams are trained to separate recyclable items and packaging when carrying out removals, clearances, or storage returns. Whenever we remove unwanted items, our first priority is to avoid landfill by reusing, donating, or recycling through our trusted partners.
Recycling Partnerships and Local Centres
Our company has long-standing partnerships with recognised recycling operators and reuse schemes in the wider borough. We regularly utilise authorised local recycling facilities, including borough recycling centres serving Old Ford and the surrounding communities, to ensure that metals, wood, electronics, and other materials are processed responsibly.
Furniture, white goods, and suitable household items are directed towards reuse and charity partners where possible. By working closely with these organisations, we help extend the life of items that are still in good condition, reducing waste and supporting people in need across the area.
Our Environment Agency licensing supports these partnerships and provides assurance that Storage Old Ford takes full accountability for the way your unwanted items are handled after removal.
Trained, Local Staff You Can Trust
Our staff members are not just trained professionals; they are also local residents who know the streets, estates, and landmarks of Old Ford. Many of our drivers and porters grew up around Bow, Hackney Wick, and the surrounding neighbourhoods. They know the best times to move on Old Ford Road, which routes to use around Victoria Park, and how to manage access in tight residential streets.
Training at Storage Old Ford covers safe manual handling, customer care, secure packing and loading, and environmental awareness. We expect our team to be courteous, punctual, and proactive, looking after your belongings as if they were their own. That local knowledge and commitment is a big part of what makes our area removal service dependable and efficient.
Community Ties and Local Involvement
Storage Old Ford has always been more than just a storage and removal company in the area. We sponsor and support community activities, local projects, and initiatives that matter to residents. From helping community groups move equipment for events around Victoria Park and nearby green spaces, to offering support to local charities when they need transport or short-term storage, we are proud to play our part.
Over the years, we have assisted residents moving within local estates, supported small businesses relocating around Roman Road, and worked with independent traders in the wider Old Ford and Bow area. Our reputation is built on word of mouth and long-term relationships, not one-off jobs. We see every move as an opportunity to strengthen our ties with the community we serve.
