Who Our Secure Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you’re decluttering to sell, renovating, or between properties. We collect furniture, boxes and valuables, store them securely, then deliver when your new home is ready.

If you’re moving between rentals, heading abroad, or downsizing to a smaller flat, secure storage gives you breathing space so you don’t need to rush decisions on what to keep.

Use our storage while refurbishing, changing tenants or converting furnished lets to unfurnished. We can remove, store and return items in line with your schedule.
Businesses
Perfect for archiving documents, storing excess stock, exhibition materials or office furniture during refurbishments or relocations. We provide organised storage and clear labelling so items are easy to retrieve.
Students
Heading home for the holidays or going on placement? Our smaller storage options are cost-effective for storing books, clothes, small furniture and personal items, without dragging everything home.

Our Step-by-Step Secure Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with a brief outline of what you need to store, where from, and for how long. We’ll ask a few questions about your items, access and timings, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining collection, storage rates and redelivery options.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex jobs, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to estimate the right storage size, plan access (stairs, lifts, parking) and identify any special protection needed. The survey means accurate pricing and a smooth move-in to storage.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or our professional team can do it for you. We use quality cartons, protective wrap and wardrobe boxes. Furniture is wrapped or blanket-protected, and we can create an inventory so you know exactly what’s in storage and where.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our trained staff arrive at the agreed time, protect floors and walls where needed, and carefully load your items. Everything is secured safely in our vehicles for the journey to our facility, covered by goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Secure Placement
At our Hampstead storage facility, we unload and place your belongings into your allocated storage space. Items are stacked logically for safe storage and easy access. When you’re ready, we arrange redelivery and place items back into your property as instructed.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, simple pricing with no hidden extras. Your total cost will usually include:
- Collection and transport from your property to our storage facility
- Weekly or monthly storage charge based on the space you use
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Redelivery from storage back to your chosen address
Prices depend on volume, access, distance and duration. We’ll always explain how we’ve calculated your quote and highlight any optional services, so you can tailor the service to your budget.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY
Using a professional removals and storage company gives you more than just a lock and a unit. Our trained teams handle heavy and fragile items correctly, reducing the risk of damage or injury. Vehicles are purpose-built for removals, with proper securing points and protective equipment.
DIY or casual man-and-van options can seem cheaper, but often mean repeated trips, poor packing, limited or no insurance, and uncertainty about how your belongings are handled and stored. With us, you know your items are loaded, transported and stored to a professional standard.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to strict professional standards to protect you and your belongings:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while they’re being moved
- Public liability cover for work carried out at your home or business
- Trained, uniformed staff experienced in handling all types of items
- Documented procedures for inventory and storage allocation
We’ll discuss the cover levels included and any additional protection you may wish to arrange for particularly high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is blanket-wrapped or film-wrapped, boxes are stacked safely, and fragile items receive extra protection. We also use high-quality, reusable transit blankets and durable crates where appropriate.
Where possible, we choose recyclable materials and reuse packing supplies without compromising protection. Efficient route planning and consolidated trips help reduce unnecessary mileage, lowering our environmental impact while still giving you a punctual, reliable service.
Real-World Uses for Our Secure Storage
Moving House
If completion dates don’t line up or you’re downsizing, secure storage lets you move in stages. We can hold non-essential items while you settle into your new home, then deliver when you’re ready.
Office Relocations and Refits
During an office move or refurbishment, we can store surplus desks, chairs, files and IT equipment. This keeps your working areas clear and safe while work is carried out, and we can deliver in phases as your new layout takes shape.
Urgent or Short-Notice Situations
Life isn’t always predictable. If you need to clear a property quickly after a sale, tenancy change, or unexpected event, we can often arrange rapid collection and short-term storage to give you time to make longer-term decisions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Hampstead cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you require storage, and whether you’d like us to handle packing and transport. Smaller student and personal loads will be cheaper than full household contents or business archives. After a brief discussion or survey, we’ll provide a clear written quote showing collection, storage and redelivery separately. There are no hidden extras, and you only pay for the space and time you use. If your needs change, we can usually adjust your unit size to keep costs fair.
Can you offer same-day or urgent secure storage?
Where availability allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice collection into secure storage, especially for smaller loads or partial house clearances. It helps if you can be flexible on timings and prepared for us to pack items quickly and efficiently on arrival. For larger properties or business premises, we may propose a phased approach, starting with priority areas. Contact us as soon as you know you need urgent storage, and we’ll talk you through the options and confirm what is realistic on your preferred dates.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from our facility, and we maintain public liability cover for work at your property. Standard levels of cover are included as part of our service. We’ll explain the limits and any exclusions clearly before you book. If you have particularly high-value items, we may recommend additional cover, either through us or your own insurer. Our aim is for you to understand exactly how your items are protected at every stage.
What’s included in your secure storage service?
Our core service includes the storage space itself in our secure, monitored facility, and basic handling into and out of the unit. Most clients also combine this with our removals service: we collect from your property, wrap and protect furniture, load safely and transport everything to storage. Optional extras include full or partial packing, provision of packing materials, detailed inventory lists and redelivery at the end of your storage period. We’ll build a package that matches what you need rather than selling you services you won’t use.
How is professional secure storage different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service typically offers basic transport only, often without formal training, structured packing methods or meaningful insurance. By contrast, our professional secure storage service is end-to-end: trained staff, appropriate vehicles, protective materials, organised loading and placement in a properly managed, monitored facility. You have clear documentation, agreed timescales and a fixed point of contact. This reduces the risk of damage, loss or last-minute cancellations and ensures your belongings are handled consistently from door to store and back again.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
For the best choice of dates and unit sizes, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. However, we do keep some flexibility for last-minute and urgent requests. If your dates are uncertain, we can reserve space provisionally and adjust as your plans firm up. The earlier you speak to us, the more options we can offer, but don’t hesitate to get in touch even at short notice – we’ll always do our best to help.
