Who Our Secure Storage Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, renovating or downsizing in Custom House, secure storage lets you keep furniture, appliances and personal items safe until you need them. It also helps create a clearer, more spacious home for viewings.
Renters
For renters between tenancies or moving abroad, storage avoids rushing into a new place just to keep your belongings safe. Store your possessions while you find the right property on your own timescale.
Landlords
Landlords use our storage for furniture during refurbishments, void periods or when switching between furnished and unfurnished lets. We can collect directly from your rental property and redeliver when the work is complete.
Businesses
Local businesses and organisations trust us for secure storage of office furniture, archived files, seasonal stock, event equipment and marketing materials. Our commercial storage can be tailored around office moves or phased refurbishments.
Students
Students in Custom House and nearby campuses often need storage over the summer or during placements. We offer smaller, cost-effective options and can collect from and deliver back to student accommodation.
What You Can Store with Us
Our secure storage is suitable for most household and business items, including:
- Furniture: sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
- Boxes of personal belongings, books, clothes and kitchenware
- Appliances: washing machines, fridges, freezers (defrosted), TVs
- Office furniture, IT equipment and files (boxed)
- Tools, trade equipment and exhibition or event materials

For safety and legal reasons, we cannot store:
- Perishable or open food and drink
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including fuel, gas bottles, paints and solvents)
- Illegal items, stolen goods or contraband
- Live plants or animals
- Cash, jewellery, high-value artwork or irreplaceable documents (these should be stored in a specialist facility or safe)
Our Step-by-Step Secure Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us with a brief description of what you need to store, your dates and addresses. We will ask a few questions about volume, access and any special items. From this we provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and eventual redelivery.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger loads or business storage, we may recommend a video or onsite survey. This lets us assess volumes accurately, plan vehicle sizes and handling requirements, and discuss any access challenges in Custom House, such as narrow staircases, lifts or parking.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack yourself, or choose our professional packing service. Our team use sturdy cartons, wrapping materials and furniture covers. We label and list items to create a simple inventory, so you always know what is in storage and can request specific items if needed.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our trained team arrive on time, protect floors and walls where required, and carefully load your belongings. Items are secured in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We then transport directly to our secure facility using our own, well-maintained vehicles.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the facility, your goods are unloaded into clean, dry units or containers. Everything is stacked safely to make best use of space while keeping frequently needed items accessible. Your inventory is updated, and we confirm your storage plan, payment cycle and any access arrangements.
Transparent Secure Storage Pricing
We aim to keep pricing straightforward and competitive for the Custom House area. Costs are based on:
- The volume of goods (how much space you need)
- Collection and delivery distance and access
- Storage duration (short-term or long-term)
- Optional extras such as packing and materials
We explain all charges clearly before you commit, with no hidden fees. Long-term and business customers may benefit from reduced rates, and we are always happy to suggest ways to optimise space and costs.
Why Professional Secure Storage Beats DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using a professional removals and storage company offers practical advantages over self-storage runs or informal man-and-van services:
- Professional handling reduces the risk of damage to furniture and appliances
- Integrated collection, storage and delivery saves you time and multiple trips
- Goods in transit insurance and monitored facilities safeguard your belongings
- Proper packing materials and methods keep items protected for long periods
- Clear paperwork and inventories make it easy to keep track of what you have stored
With casual services, storage is often an afterthought, and your items may be left in unsuitable or uninsured locations. Our focus is on long-term care, not just moving items from A to B.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your possessions are important, both financially and emotionally. That is why we maintain:
- Goods in transit insurance while your items are being moved to and from storage
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property during our work
- Trained and vetted moving teams with experience in handling delicate, bulky and high-value items
We follow industry-standard packing and lifting techniques, use the right equipment and vehicles, and carry out regular checks on our facilities to maintain a consistently high standard of care.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle stored goods as if they were our own. That means careful wrapping, sensible stacking and regular checks on unit conditions. Where possible, we reuse robust packing materials, recycle cardboard and minimise unnecessary journeys by planning efficient routes in and around Custom House. Choosing secure storage with us helps extend the life of your belongings rather than replacing them.
Real-World Secure Storage Use Cases
Moving House
When moving home, dates do not always line up. Our secure storage bridges the gap so you can move out on time, store your belongings safely, and have them delivered to your new property when you receive the keys.
Office Relocation and Refurbishment
Businesses use our storage when relocating, refurbishing or reconfiguring workspace. We can store desks, chairs, IT equipment and files while builders or decorators work, then deliver and position everything ready for staff to return.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Life does not always give much warning. If you have to vacate a property quickly, we can arrange rapid collection and secure storage, giving you breathing space to sort your next steps without worrying about your possessions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Custom House cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you store for and whether you require collection, packing or redelivery services. Smaller loads stored for a short period are typically very affordable, while larger or long-term business storage is priced to reflect the volume and handling involved. We provide a clear written quote after discussing your needs or carrying out a quick survey, and we are happy to explain how to minimise costs by optimising the space you use.
Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?
In many cases we can arrange same-day or short-notice storage in Custom House, particularly for smaller loads or urgent move-outs. Availability depends on our schedule and current space, so the sooner you contact us, the better. If you are facing an unexpected eviction, completion date change or emergency repair, let us know the situation and we will prioritise securing your goods and getting them safely into storage as quickly as possible.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance while we are moving your belongings, and our facilities are designed with security and protection in mind. We will outline the standard level of cover included and, for higher-value items or commercial loads, we can discuss additional cover if required. It is important to declare any especially valuable goods so they are properly noted on the inventory and included in the agreed insurance arrangements.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our secure storage service can include collection from your property, professional packing if required, transport to our facility, placement into clean, secure storage and final redelivery when you are ready. We provide an inventory so you know exactly what is stored, and we can tailor the service to suit you: some clients prefer to pack themselves, others want us to handle everything from start to finish. We explain exactly what is included in your quote before you book.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without proper packing, insurance or suitable storage facilities. Our service combines professional removals expertise with managed, monitored storage designed to keep items safe for weeks, months or longer. We use trained staff, appropriate vehicles, protective materials and formal insurance. You benefit from clear paperwork, consistent standards and the reassurance that your belongings are stored in a purpose-designed environment, not left wherever there is space.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives us time to carry out any survey, provide materials if you are packing yourself, and reserve the right amount of space. However, we understand that timings can change suddenly, and we will always do our best to accommodate last-minute requirements where capacity allows. If your dates are uncertain, we can pencil you in and adjust as things firm up.
