Storage Old Ford Professional Services Overview
Storage Old Ford provides a complete range of removal, transport, and packing services tailored to homes and businesses in Old Ford and the surrounding East London areas. From compact flats near Roman Road to larger terraced houses and commercial spaces close to the A12 corridor, we understand the layout, access challenges, and parking restrictions that define the local environment. All services are fully insured, carried out in line with relevant UK regulations, and managed with careful attention to environmental standards, from fuel-efficient routing to compliant waste handling and recycling.
House Removals
Our house removals service is designed for households moving within Old Ford or further afield, offering a smooth, well-organised transition from one property to another. We are familiar with the mix of period terraces, new-build apartments, and estate properties found across Old Ford, which allows us to plan for stair access, lift usage, tight corridors, and controlled parking zones. Every move is risk-assessed in advance, and your belongings are covered by comprehensive insurance from the moment we start loading until the final item is placed in your new home. We use protective coverings for doors, bannisters, and flooring, and our trained team follows safe manual handling practices in accordance with current health and safety guidance. Where items need to be dismantled or reassembled, we do so using the correct tools and fixings, ensuring a secure and compliant installation in your new property.
Man with a Van
The Man with a Van service from Storage Old Ford is ideal for smaller moves, single bulky items, student relocations, or short-notice transport jobs across Old Ford and East London. This flexible option is particularly useful when navigating narrow residential streets, estates, and mews where larger vehicles may be difficult to manoeuvre or park. Our drivers are fully vetted, insured, and trained to secure goods safely for transit, whether we are moving boxes, furniture, or equipment. We prioritise route efficiency to reduce emissions and limit congestion, and we operate within local parking regulations to avoid disruption in busy residential zones. Customers benefit from the same professional standards applied to our larger removals, including basic protective wrapping and clear documentation of items handled.
Removal Van Hire with Professional Driver
For customers who require a dedicated vehicle and driver but plan to handle some or all of the loading and unloading, our Removal Van service offers a cost-effective and compliant option. We operate well-maintained vans equipped with load securing systems, protective blankets, and trolleys, helping to keep your goods safe while in transit. All vehicles meet current emissions standards applicable in London, including Ultra Low Emission Zone requirements, helping to minimise the environmental impact of your move in and around Old Ford. The driver will position the vehicle safely, comply with loading restrictions, and advise you on optimal loading patterns to protect your belongings and maintain road safety. This service is particularly suited to customers moving between storage units and local properties, or those completing phased moves over several trips.
Office Removals
Our office removals service supports businesses ranging from small studios and co-working spaces to more established offices situated around Old Ford and neighbouring commercial districts. We understand the need to minimise downtime, protect sensitive equipment, and maintain data security during any relocation. Prior to moving day, we carry out a detailed site survey and produce a plan covering packing, labelling, IT and telecoms equipment handling, and phased move schedules where required. All work is fully insured, and our teams follow best practice for lifting and moving commercial furniture, racking, and electronics. We also adopt environmentally responsible procedures, including segregating reusable items, organising recycling for obsolete equipment in accordance with waste electrical and electronic equipment regulations, and ensuring that any general waste is handled through licensed carriers only. This approach helps businesses in Old Ford meet their own compliance and sustainability commitments while relocating.
Comprehensive Removal Services
Storage Old Ford offers a fully managed Removal Services package for customers who want a complete, end-to-end solution. This service can incorporate initial consultation, inventory creation, packing, loading, transport, unloading, unpacking, and placement in your new home, office, or storage unit. We tailor the package to the specific needs of Old Ford residents and businesses, accounting for typical local building access, lift booking requirements, and estate management rules. Every project is governed by clear terms and conditions, outlining the scope of work, insurance cover, and any special handling provisions. Our teams are trained in safe working methods and follow strict internal procedures for vehicle loading, route planning, and incident reporting. Where unwanted items are identified, we can arrange for responsible disposal or recycling through approved channels, avoiding fly-tipping and ensuring full compliance with local environmental regulations.
Packing and Boxes
The Packing and Boxes service is designed to safeguard your belongings before, during, and after the move, reducing the risk of damage and making unpacking more efficient. We supply high-quality packing materials, including double-walled cartons, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, and specialist covers for mattresses, sofas, and electronics. Materials are selected with attention to durability and recyclability, enabling customers to reuse or recycle most items after their move in line with local waste and recycling schemes in Old Ford. Our professional packers can complete a full or partial pack, using systematic labelling and room-by-room organisation to support easy set-up at your destination. Fragile and high-value items receive particular care, with additional internal padding and optional itemised packing lists. All packing work is covered under our insurance, provided that boxes remain sealed and handled correctly through the move. For customers who prefer to pack themselves, we can offer guidance on best practices so that boxes are safe to stack, carry, and transport in accordance with health and safety recommendations.
Commitment to Compliance, Insurance, and the Environment
Across every service we offer in Old Ford, compliance and responsibility are central. Our operations are structured to align with relevant UK legislation covering transport, health and safety, and waste management. Staff members receive regular training on safe lifting techniques, use of equipment, and procedures for working in shared residential buildings, offices, and managed estates. Comprehensive insurance protects your belongings and offers peace of mind, with clear information available on the limits and conditions of cover for each type of service. We also pay close attention to our environmental impact, maintaining our vehicles to improve fuel efficiency, planning logical routes to reduce overall mileage, and directing recyclable materials away from landfill wherever practical. Whether you are moving a small flat, a family home, or a busy office, Storage Old Ford delivers reliable, professional services built on careful planning, secure handling, and a strong commitment to the local area.
