Who Our Secure Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Decluttering for sale, bridging between completion dates or renovating? We can store furniture, appliances and personal effects safely until your new home is ready, then deliver them on the agreed date.

If you are between tenancies, relocating for work or moving into a smaller property, our secure units give you a stable base for belongings that will not fit in your current home.

We support landlords needing to store furniture between lets, hold items during refurbishments or keep show-home pieces safe. We provide clear inventories so you always know what is stored.
Businesses
From SMEs to larger offices, our secure storage is ideal for archived documents, stock, seasonal items, exhibition materials and surplus furniture. Regular access can be arranged, and we can deliver items back to you when needed.

Our Step-by-Step Secure Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Get in touch by phone or online with a summary of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few straightforward questions, then provide a clear, written quotation outlining storage charges, collection costs and any packing services required.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger jobs, we arrange a free video or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volume, access, parking and any fragile or high-value pieces. It helps us recommend the right storage unit size so you are not paying for unnecessary space.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack yourself or choose our professional packing service. If we pack, our trained team use quality boxes, wraps and blankets to protect your belongings. Furniture is disassembled where necessary and wrapped for safe storage.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
On collection day, our trained movers arrive on time, protect floors and walkways if needed, and carefully load your items. Everything is listed on an inventory before being transported in our fully insured vehicles directly to our secure facility.
5. Unloading & Placement in Your Storage Unit
At the facility, we unload and stack items systematically to maximise space and ensure key items remain accessible. The unit is locked and monitored. When you are ready for redelivery, we reverse the process, bringing everything back to your home or office and placing items in the rooms you choose.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Your quote will set out:
- Weekly or monthly storage rate based on unit size
- Collection and redelivery charges
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Any additional services such as dismantling or disposal
There are no hidden fees, and we explain minimum terms and notice periods clearly. For longer-term customers, we can often offer reduced rates. All prices are discussed in advance so you can budget with confidence.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY or Casual Options
Using a professional removals and storage company is usually safer, easier and more cost-effective than hiring a casual man-and-van or using an unsecured garage. With Storage Greenwich you benefit from:
- Purpose-built, secure facility rather than ad hoc buildings
- Goods in transit insurance during collection and delivery
- Public liability cover for work in your property
- Trained staff who know how to load, move and stack safely
- Inventoried storage so you know what is where
- Clear contracts and accountable service
DIY solutions can lead to damage, damp or even loss of items, whereas our service is designed to protect your belongings from the outset.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to established industry standards and back this up with appropriate cover:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while being moved between your property and our storage facility.
- Public liability insurance – protects you and your property while our team is working on-site.
- Optional extended cover – we can arrange higher-value cover on request for specific items.
Our teams are trained in safe lifting, handling and packing techniques, and vehicles are well-maintained to reduce risk during transport.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to store and move your belongings responsibly and with respect. We use high-quality reusable blankets, durable crates where appropriate and sturdy cartons that protect items for the duration of storage.
Where possible, we recycle packaging and encourage customers to return cartons for reuse. We consolidate deliveries and collections intelligently to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions, and we maintain our vehicles for efficient running.
Real-World Secure Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Completion dates do not always line up. Many Greenwich customers move their contents into storage for a few days or weeks while waiting for keys. We handle collection, storage and final delivery to keep the move on track.
Office Relocations and Refits
Businesses use our storage when relocating, refurbishing or changing layouts. We can store surplus desks, chairs and IT equipment until you decide what to do with them, preventing clutter in your working environment.
Urgent and Short-Notice Situations
Life can change quickly – separation, urgent moves, emergency repairs or flood damage. Subject to availability, we can arrange fast collection into storage, giving you breathing space while you decide your next steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Greenwich cost?
Costs depend on the size of unit you need, how long you need it for and whether you would like us to handle collection and delivery. Smaller units suitable for boxes and a few bits of furniture are obviously cheaper than full household storage. We price per week or per month, with discounts sometimes available for longer-term commitments. Once we understand your volume and requirements, we provide a clear written quotation so you know exactly what you will pay, with no hidden extras.
Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?
Same-day or short-notice storage is often possible, particularly on weekdays, but it does depend on current capacity and vehicle availability. If you have an urgent situation, call us as early as you can and we will do our best to accommodate you. We will ask about the volume of items, access and timing, then confirm whether we can collect that day or offer the next available slot. Even when we move quickly, your goods are still handled carefully and stored securely.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our standard storage insurance, subject to the terms and limits set out in your agreement. In addition, our goods in transit insurance protects items while being moved between your property and our facility. For particularly high-value possessions, we can discuss additional cover or recommend that you notify your own insurer. We will explain exactly what is and is not covered before you sign, so you can make an informed decision and ensure your items are properly protected.
What is included in your secure storage service?
As standard, we provide a clean, dry, secure unit, monitored by CCTV and controlled access, along with basic liability cover for your stored goods. Most customers also choose our collection and redelivery service, where our professional team load, transport and place items in store. Optional extras include packing materials, a full packing service and help with dismantling or reassembly of furniture. We set out clearly in your quote what is included, and you can add or remove services to suit your needs and budget.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically provides transport only, with no dedicated storage facility, limited or unclear insurance and little accountability. By contrast, we offer purpose-built secure storage, fully insured vehicles, trained staff, inventories and written agreements. This means your belongings are protected not just during the journey, but for the whole time they are stored. You also benefit from proper customer support, scheduled appointments and a professional approach from start to finish.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
We recommend booking as soon as you know you will need storage, especially during busy moving periods such as late spring, summer and month-ends. A week or two’s notice usually allows us to offer a good choice of dates and unit sizes. However, we do keep some flexibility for short-notice jobs, so it is always worth asking, even if your timeline is tight. Early booking simply gives you better options and peace of mind that space and transport are reserved for you.
