Professional Secure Storage You Can Rely On

We offer:

- 24/7 CCTV coverage and controlled access
- Short-term and long-term options on flexible terms
- Collection and delivery with our professional removals teams

Local Storage Expertise in Collier Row
Because we’re based in Collier Row, we know the area’s housing stock, parking issues and access restrictions inside out. That local knowledge matters when we’re collecting or delivering to flats above shops, terraced houses with tight hallways, or business premises on busy roads.
We regularly support customers across Collier Row, Romford, Havering and wider East London, working closely with local estate agents, landlords and businesses who need a reliable storage partner they can trust.
Who Our Secure Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you’re between houses, waiting on completion or downsizing, our secure storage gives you a safe space for furniture, appliances, and personal possessions. We can collect from your current home, store everything, then deliver to your new address once you have the keys.
Renters
Moving between rentals, relocating for work or heading overseas for a while? Store your belongings with us for as long as you need, without committing to a long lease. We can handle everything from a studio flat to a full house.
Landlords
Landlords often need short-term storage for furniture during refits, repairs or changeovers between tenants. Our secure units give you a clean, dry, organised space to hold beds, sofas, white goods and more while work is carried out.
Businesses
From archive boxes to office furniture and stock, our business storage solutions are ideal for companies in Collier Row and surrounding areas. Whether you’re refurbishing, relocating or simply short of space, we’ll keep your assets safe and accessible when you need them.
Students
Students returning home for the holidays or taking a year abroad can avoid hauling everything back and forth. We offer compact, cost-effective storage for personal items, books, clothes and small furniture, with the option to share space with friends to keep costs down.
What We Can Store
Our secure storage is suitable for most everyday household and business items, including:
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables and chairs
- White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers (clean and dry)
- Boxes of personal possessions, books, clothes and toys
- Office furniture – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, shelving
- IT equipment and small electronics (properly packed)
- Business stock, samples and marketing materials
- Bicycles and small leisure equipment
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons we cannot store:
- Perishable goods, food and plants
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including paint, fuel, gas bottles)
- Illegal goods or stolen property
- Cash, jewellery or high-value items best suited to a bank or specialist facility
- Live animals or any living creatures

If you're unsure whether we can store something, we’ll clarify during your quotation so there are no surprises on collection day.
Our Step-by-Step Secure Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a brief outline of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask a few questions about your items and access at your property, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote for storage, plus removals if you want us to collect and/or redeliver.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves or business storage, we recommend a quick survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Collier Row. It allows us to assess volume accurately, check access, and plan the right size unit and vehicle. This helps avoid overpaying for space you don’t need.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our trained teams use quality boxes, wrapping materials and protective covers to keep your belongings safe in transit and in storage. We label and inventory items so we know exactly what’s in your unit.
4. Loading & Transport
On the agreed date, our removals crew will arrive, protect floors and doorways where needed, and carefully load your belongings onto our vehicles. Everything is secured for transit and transported directly to our secure Collier Row storage facility under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the facility, your goods are unloaded, checked against the inventory and placed carefully into your allocated unit. We ensure heavier items are stacked safely, fragile boxes are protected, and everything is accessible for when you’re ready for delivery back out.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will set out:
- The size of storage space recommended (in square feet or container size)
- Weekly or monthly storage rate
- Collection and delivery charges (if required)
- Optional packing materials and packing service costs
- Insurance details and any additional cover you choose
There are no hidden fees. If your storage needs change – for example, you need more or less space – we’ll explain any price change before making adjustments.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Using professional, fully insured storage with an established removals company offers a level of protection and organisation that DIY or a casual man-and-van simply can’t match.
- Security – monitored facility, proper locks, controlled access
- Protection – trained staff, proper packing, safe stacking
- Insurance – goods in transit and storage cover available
- Accountability – clear paperwork, inventory, and a local office you can contact
- Reliability – scheduled collection/delivery and professional vehicles
With DIY or casual help, belongings are more likely to be damaged, poorly stored, or left in unsuitable conditions, with little or no recourse if something goes wrong.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a professional removals and storage company, we operate to recognised industry standards. Our services include:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while we transport them
- Public liability cover for work at your property and on site
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling, loading and storage
We will explain the level of cover included as standard and any optional additional insurance for particularly valuable items, so you can make an informed decision.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your belongings as if they were our own. Our crews use blankets, protective covers, straps and quality packaging to keep everything safe. In storage, items are kept dry, off damp floors, and away from potential damage.
We’re also conscious of our environmental impact. Wherever possible we:
- Reuse durable crates and protective materials
- Supply recyclable cardboard boxes
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce fuel usage
- Encourage customers to donate or recycle unwanted items rather than bin them
Real-World Uses for Our Secure Storage
Moving House
When sale and purchase dates don’t line up, secure storage can bridge the gap. We collect from your old home, store everything safely, then deliver to your new property once you’re ready, taking pressure off already stressful moving timelines.
Office Relocation or Refurbishment
Businesses in Collier Row often use our storage when restructuring, refurbishing or downsizing. We can clear space quickly, store furniture and equipment, and return it once works are complete or to your new premises, minimising disruption to staff.
Urgent or Last-Minute Situations
Sometimes life throws up unexpected changes – a relationship breakdown, flood damage, or a landlord needing the property back. Where possible, we offer swift collection and emergency storage, giving you a secure base while you make longer-term plans.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Collier Row cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you need it for, and whether you’d like us to collect and redeliver your items. Smaller units suitable for a few boxes and small items are naturally cheaper than space for a full house or office. We’ll recommend the most efficient unit size based on a quick discussion or survey, so you don’t overpay. Your quote will clearly show storage, collection, delivery and any optional packing or insurance upgrades.
Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day secure storage for urgent situations in Collier Row and nearby areas. This is particularly useful if a move falls through at short notice or you need to clear a property quickly. The best option is to call us as soon as you know there’s a problem, so we can check space, allocate a unit and schedule a removals team if required. We’ll always be honest about what’s possible within your timeframe.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
We provide goods in transit insurance while we’re moving your belongings, and our facility is covered by our own policies, including public liability cover. For storage itself, we’ll explain the level of cover included and the option to increase it, especially if you have higher-value items. We’ll go through the details with you during quotation so you understand what is and isn’t covered, and can decide whether to rely on our cover, your own insurance, or a combination of both.
What’s included in your secure storage service?
Our core service includes a clean, dry, secure unit in our Collier Row facility, with monitored access and CCTV. If required, we can also provide a full removals service: collection from your property by our professional team, packing support, loading, transport, and unloading into storage. When you’re ready, we can then redeliver to your new address. You’re free to choose just storage, or storage plus any combination of packing, collection and delivery to suit your needs and budget.
How is this different from using a man-and-van and a cheap lock-up?
A casual man-and-van and a basic lock-up may appear cheaper at first glance, but standards are rarely comparable. With us, you get trained staff, fully insured transport options, a purpose-designed facility, proper inventories and a clear contract. Your items are handled carefully, stacked safely and stored in a monitored environment. With unregulated providers, you may face inadequate security, poor conditions, and little recourse if something is damaged or goes missing. Many customers come to us after bad experiences elsewhere.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For planned moves, booking one to four weeks in advance usually gives the best availability and price options, especially at busy times such as month-end and summer. That said, we understand that dates can change, so we try to be flexible. If you need storage at short notice, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll advise on current availability. Even if your move dates aren’t fully confirmed, we can pencil you in and adjust details once you know more.
