Who Our Secure Storage Is For

Decluttering before a sale, renovating, or in between properties? Our secure units keep your furniture, appliances and personal items safe and dry while you complete your move or refurbishment.
Renters
If you are changing tenancies, moving in with a partner, or heading abroad for a period, we can store your possessions for as long as you need, with flexible access options.

How Our Secure Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Storage West Green by phone or online and tell us what you need to store, where you are in London, and your timescales. We will ask about volume, access, and any special requirements, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage, and return if required.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves or business storage, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or a short onsite visit. We assess the quantity of goods, any access issues (stairs, lifts, parking restrictions) and packing needs. This ensures we allocate the right size unit and the correct vehicle and team on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or choose our professional packing service. Our trained team use high-quality materials, including strong cartons, wrapping, and export-standard covers for furniture. Everything is labelled and inventoried clearly so you know exactly what is stored and where.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
On collection day, our trained movers arrive on time, protect floors and banisters where needed, and load your goods carefully. Items are secured in our vehicles, protected with blankets and straps, then transported directly to our secure storage facility.
5. Unloading & Secure Placement
At our facility, your belongings are unloaded into a dedicated, locked unit or container. We check your inventory as we go so there is a clear record of what is stored. Access arrangements will be agreed in advance – you can either request retrieval when needed or, where applicable, arrange supervised access during opening hours.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We keep our pricing straightforward. The main elements are:
- Collection and transport from your London address
- Packing materials and packing service (if required)
- Weekly or monthly storage fee based on unit size and duration
- Return delivery from our facility to your chosen address
There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs, such as difficult access or out-of-hours work, are discussed in advance. We tailor quotes to your exact needs, so you only pay for the space and services you genuinely require.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY Options
Using a professional storage and removals company offers clear advantages over informal or DIY options:
- Fully insured storage and transport, reducing your financial risk
- Purpose-built, monitored facilities rather than makeshift garages or sheds
- Trained teams handling your belongings correctly, reducing damage
- Accurate inventories so nothing goes missing or gets mixed up
- Proper vehicles and equipment for safe loading, unloading and transit
Casual man-and-van services or self-storage without professional help may seem cheaper initially, but damage, loss, or inadequate insurance can be far more costly in the long run.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are protected from collection through to storage and return.
Goods in Transit Insurance
Our vehicles are covered by goods in transit insurance, which protects your items while they are being moved between your property and our facility. This cover is designed around removals work rather than standard courier services.
Public Liability Cover
We maintain comprehensive public liability cover, giving reassurance that, in the unlikely event of an accident at your property, appropriate protection is in place.
Trained, Professional Moving Teams
All our staff are trained in safe lifting techniques, packing methods and handling of delicate items. We do not use casual, untrained labour. Our team members are experienced, uniformed and supervised, and follow clear company procedures for inventories, documentation and customer communication.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We are committed to caring for both your belongings and the environment.
- We use quality protective materials, including covers and padding, to minimise the risk of scratches or breakages.
- Where possible, we reuse cartons and materials that are still in good condition and recycle those that are not, helping to reduce waste.
- Our routes across London are planned to minimise unnecessary mileage, cutting emissions and time on the road.
This careful, sustainable approach benefits you through better protection and more efficient operations, while lessening our environmental impact.
Real-World Uses for Our Secure Storage
Moving House
Delays between completion dates, chain issues or renovations can leave you with nowhere to put your furniture. Our secure storage provides a safe temporary home for your belongings until your new property is ready.
Office Relocation
Businesses often need to decant furniture, documents or equipment while they move or refurbish. We can store items in clearly labelled sections, making phased moves and reinstallation straightforward and efficient.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
If you need to move quickly due to a change of circumstances, we can arrange rapid collection and immediate placement into storage, subject to availability. This reduces stress and gives you breathing space to plan your next steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in London cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much you need to store, how long for, and whether you require collection, packing and return. Smaller units for a few boxes and cases are naturally cheaper than full household storage. We price storage by unit size and duration, with clear rates and no hidden charges. Collection and delivery are quoted separately based on distance and access. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a detailed written quote so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Can you offer same-day or urgent secure storage?
In many cases we can arrange same-day or short-notice secure storage, especially for smaller loads, subject to availability. If you have an urgent situation, contact us as early as possible with details of what needs storing and your location. We will check unit availability and vehicle schedules and advise what is realistically achievable. While we cannot guarantee every emergency request, our local knowledge and flexible fleet mean we can usually find a practical solution, even at very short notice.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your goods are protected by goods in transit insurance while being moved between your property and our facility, and our storage cover applies while items are in our care. This is in addition to our public liability cover. We will explain the key points of cover, including any limits or exclusions, before you book. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend additional specialist insurance or valuation to ensure you are fully protected to a level you are comfortable with.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our core service includes a dedicated storage unit, monitored and secured, with your items carefully unloaded, stacked and inventoried. Most customers also choose collection and delivery using our professional moving teams, and we can add a full or partial packing service if required. Packing materials, covers and blankets are supplied as needed for transport. We provide clear documentation of what is stored, and when you are ready, we arrange return delivery and careful placement back into your property or office.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van or self-storage?
With a casual man-and-van or standard self-storage, you are often responsible for packing, lifting, transporting and insuring everything yourself. With Storage West Green, you benefit from trained staff, fully insured transport, secure monitored units, and a clear inventory system. We manage the heavy lifting, safe loading, and protection of your goods from start to finish. This significantly reduces the risk of damage or loss, saves you time and effort, and provides professional accountability throughout the process.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
Where possible, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or university changeover dates. This gives us time to arrange the right unit size, allocate vehicles and plan access at your property. However, we appreciate that storage needs can arise suddenly, and we always try to accommodate last-minute requests. The earlier you contact us with your provisional dates and requirements, the more options we will have to offer you.
