Who Our Secure Storage Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are moving house, downsizing or renovating. Store furniture, appliances, seasonal items and personal belongings safely while you complete your sale, purchase or building work.
Renters
Perfect when your tenancy dates don’t quite line up, you are relocating for work, or you simply need to free up space in a flat. We offer flexible terms, so you only pay for the time and space you need.
Landlords
Use secure storage to hold furniture between tenancies, store furnishings during refurbishment, or keep spare appliances and fixtures safe and organised.
Businesses
Our secure units are suitable for archived documents, retail stock, exhibition materials, office furniture and equipment. Many local businesses use us as an extension of their premises without the overheads of larger offices or warehouses.
Students
Students at nearby universities and colleges can store belongings over the summer, during placements or while moving between accommodation. We can collect from halls and shared houses to make the process straightforward.
What You Can Store with Us
Our secure storage accommodates most typical household and business items, including:
- Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other furniture
- Boxes of clothing, books and personal effects
- TVs, computers and small electrical appliances
- Office furniture, files and archived documents
- Tools, trade equipment and display materials
- Bicycles and sports equipment (clean and dry)
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from storage:
- Perishable goods or any food likely to attract pests
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles, paint thinners, fuel)
- Illegal items or anything obtained unlawfully
- Live animals or plants
- Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents where specialist storage is more appropriate
- Industrial chemicals or waste
If you are unsure whether something is allowed, we will happily advise before you book.
Our Step-by-Step Secure Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or via our website with details of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask a few simple questions about volume, access and any special requirements, then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger loads, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us assess how much space you genuinely need, the access at your property and whether you require professional packing or dismantling. Accurate surveys help avoid overpaying for unnecessary storage.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or choose our professional packing service. Our trained team use quality materials and careful techniques to protect furniture, fragile items and electronics. We label boxes clearly to ensure organised storage and easier retrieval later.
4. Loading & Transport
On the agreed date, our removals team arrive with the right vehicle and equipment. We protect your property with floor covers and padding where needed, then load your belongings securely. Everything is transported directly to our storage facility under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Secure Placement
At the facility, your items are carefully unloaded and placed into your allocated storage unit. We stack and arrange items for stability and efficient use of space. If you need access while in storage, we’ll explain how this works when you book.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
We believe pricing should be straightforward and fair. Our charges are based on:
- The size of unit or volume of items
- Length of storage term
- Collection and delivery requirements
- Any optional packing or dismantling services
You’ll receive a written quote outlining all costs, with no hidden extras. If your situation changes, we can usually adjust your space up or down, so you are only paying for what you genuinely need.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage over DIY Options
Using a professional storage and removals company is very different from hiring a casual van or using makeshift storage arrangements. With us you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to handle, protect and stack belongings safely
- Purpose-built, monitored facilities rather than unsecured garages or sheds
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for additional peace of mind
- Proper equipment such as blankets, straps and trolleys
- Clear contracts and procedures instead of informal arrangements
DIY approaches often seem cheaper at first but can lead to damage, loss or unexpected costs. A structured, professional service greatly reduces these risks.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and we treat them accordingly. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance while items are being moved to and from storage
- Public liability cover for work at your property and on the road
- Trained moving teams who follow established handling procedures
- Routine checks and maintenance of our vehicles and equipment
Full details of cover limits and terms are provided as part of your quotation and booking documentation.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to protect both your belongings and the environment:
- Use of quality protective covers, blankets and wrapping to minimise damage
- Careful stacking to avoid crushing and to maintain access
- Re-use of durable packing materials where safe and appropriate
- Recycling of cardboard and other materials after use
- Route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions
We handle your goods as if they were our own, and we continually look for ways to make our operations more sustainable.
Real-World Secure Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Completion dates do not always align. Secure storage provides a safe buffer period so you can move out on time, store your belongings, and move into your new home when it is ready without pressure.
Office Relocation
Businesses often need to decant furniture, IT and files in stages. We can store equipment between leases, during fit-outs or while you reorganise your workspace, ensuring everything is kept secure and organised.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Circumstances can change quickly. If you need to vacate a property at short notice, we can often provide rapid collection and secure storage, buying you the time you need to plan your next step properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Leamouth cost?
The cost of secure storage depends on three main factors: how much you need to store, how long for, and whether you’d like us to handle collection and delivery. Smaller units for a few boxes and items of furniture are naturally cheaper than full household contents. We’ll usually recommend a quick survey to estimate the required space accurately, so you’re not paying for unused capacity. All quotes are itemised and transparent, with clear weekly or monthly rates and any removal or packing charges shown separately.
Can you offer same-day or urgent secure storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day secure storage in Leamouth, particularly for smaller loads. If you have an urgent situation, contact us as early in the day as possible with details of your location, access and volume of items. We’ll check vehicle availability, staffing and unit space, then confirm what we can offer. While same-day slots cannot always be guaranteed at busy times, we will always be honest about what’s realistic and suggest the nearest available option.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while we move them to and from the storage facility, and we maintain public liability cover for work at your property. Standard storage cover is included for typical household and business contents, with clear limits outlined in your paperwork. If you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss enhanced cover or recommend you speak to your own insurer for additional protection. We also take practical steps to reduce risk through secure facilities, careful handling and proper packing.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our service can be as simple or comprehensive as you need. As standard, you receive a clean, dry storage unit in a monitored facility, with clearly agreed terms and access arrangements. Most customers also choose collection by our removals team, who will load, transport and unload belongings into the unit. Optional extras include professional packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and provision of packing materials. We’ll set out exactly what is included in your individual quotation so you know precisely what to expect.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with limited or no insurance, variable equipment, and no dedicated storage facility. By contrast, we provide a structured, professional service with trained staff, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover, and secure, purpose-built storage units. We complete surveys where needed, plan access carefully and use proper packing and handling techniques. This greatly reduces the risk of damage or loss and offers clearer accountability from start to finish.
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 the end of the month or summer. This gives us time to carry out any necessary survey, arrange packing materials and reserve the right size unit for you. That said, we understand that circumstances change, and we will always try to help with shorter notice where space and vehicles are available. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can usually offer.
