Local Expertise in Haggerston
We know Haggerston – from canal-side flats and warehouse conversions to busy high street units. Tight stairwells, restricted parking, loading bays and permit zones are part of our everyday work. Our team plans collection and delivery around local traffic patterns and access issues so your stored goods are moved safely and efficiently, without disturbing neighbours or blocking the road.
Who Our Secure Storage Is For
Homeowners
If you’re between properties, renovating or decluttering to stage your home for sale, our secure storage keeps furniture, boxes and seasonal items out of the way and protected until you’re ready for them back.
Renters
Moving between rentals, house-sharing or heading abroad for a while? Store bulky furniture, personal belongings and anything that won’t fit into your new place without having to sell or give it away.
Landlords
Landlords often need temporary storage for furniture during refurbishments or when changing from furnished to unfurnished lets. We can collect directly from the property and store everything securely until you decide what to do with it.
Businesses
Our secure storage is ideal for business customers needing extra space for documents, stock, exhibition equipment, spare furniture or seasonal displays. We can schedule regular or ad-hoc collections and returns to suit your trading pattern.
Students
Students in Haggerston and nearby universities can store possessions over the summer or during term-time moves. We collect from halls or shared houses, store safely, then re-deliver to your new address when you’re back.
What You Can Store
Most everyday household and office items can be stored with us, including:
- Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
- Boxes of clothing, books and personal effects
- IT equipment, office furniture and files
- Sports equipment and hobby items
- Kitchenware, small appliances and decor
- Tools, trade equipment and exhibition materials
Items we cannot store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot store:
- Perishable goods or food items
- Flammable, hazardous or explosive materials
- Illegal goods or stolen property
- Animals or live plants
- Cash, jewellery or high-value collectibles best suited to specialist storage
If you’re unsure about a particular item, we’ll advise you before collection.
How Our Secure Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask a few simple questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on volume, access and duration.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger storage requirements, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey in Haggerston to assess access, parking and the amount of space you’ll need. This helps us give an accurate price and plan the right vehicle and team size.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or choose our professional packing service. We supply high-quality boxes and materials, and our trained team can wrap furniture, TVs, mirrors and fragile items to protect them during transport and in storage.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our trained movers arrive at the agreed time, protect floors where needed and carefully load your belongings. Items are blanket-wrapped, labelled and securely fastened in the vehicle. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while on the road.
5. Secure Storage & Return Delivery
We unload your items into your allocated storage space at our secure facility. When you’re ready for your belongings back, we arrange a delivery date and return everything to your new address, placing items in the rooms you choose.
Pricing: Clear and Transparent
We keep our pricing straightforward, with no hidden extras. Your quote will typically include:
- Collection from your Haggerston or London address
- Secure storage charged by the volume of goods and length of stay
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Return delivery to your chosen address
Costs are influenced by how much space you need, access (stairs, lifts, parking restrictions), and whether you choose additional services such as packing. We’ll explain each part of the price clearly so you can decide what suits your budget.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY Options
Using a professional removal and storage company offers several advantages over trying to manage storage alone or using a casual man-and-van:
- Trained moving teams who know how to lift, protect and stack safely
- Proper inventory and labelling so nothing goes missing
- Fully insured transport and secure, monitored premises
- Purpose-built vehicles and equipment for heavy or awkward items
- One point of contact for collection, storage and redelivery
DIY or informal services may look cheaper at first, but damage, losses or poor packing can quickly wipe out any savings.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Storage Haggerston operates to recognised professional standards, including:
- Goods in transit insurance for items we move between your property and our facility
- Public liability cover for work carried out in and around your home or business
- Trained moving teams with experience in handling fragile, bulky and valuable items
We’re happy to discuss cover limits and any specific high-value items before your move into storage so you have complete peace of mind.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Our focus is on careful handling, appropriate protection and responsible working practices. We use high-quality blankets, covers and wrapping to prevent scuffs and breakages. Where possible, we reuse and recycle packing materials, minimise unnecessary journeys and plan efficient routes around Haggerston and London to reduce our environmental impact.
Real-World Uses for Our Secure Storage
Moving House
If completion dates don’t line up, or you’re downsizing and need time to decide what to keep, our storage bridges the gap. We can collect from your old home, store as long as needed, then deliver to your new property when you’re ready.
Office Relocation
Businesses often need temporary storage while fitting out a new office or reconfiguring their existing space. We can store desks, chairs, filing cabinets, IT kit and archives, returning everything in stages if required.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
When plans change suddenly – a landlord’s notice, a rapid sale or a last-minute refurbishment – secure storage gives you breathing space. Subject to availability, we can often arrange swift collection from Haggerston addresses and move belongings straight into storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage cost?
Costs depend on how much space you need, how long you store for and whether you require collection, packing or redelivery. We usually quote based on the volume of your goods, measured in cubic feet or metres, plus a weekly or monthly storage charge. Additional services, such as professional packing, are itemised so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. The easiest way to get an accurate price is to contact us with a brief list of items or arrange a quick virtual survey.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where availability allows, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice collection into storage in Haggerston and nearby areas. This is particularly useful if a move falls through, you receive unexpected notice from a landlord, or builders need you to clear a property quickly. The more notice you can give us, the better, but we do keep some flexibility in our schedule for urgent situations. Call us as soon as possible and we’ll tell you what we can do that day.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them between your property and our storage facility. Once in storage, our premises are highly secure, with CCTV and controlled access. Many clients are also covered under their own contents or business insurance while goods are stored off-site, but policies vary. We recommend checking with your insurer and discussing any high-value or specialist items with us so we can confirm cover details and, if needed, suggest additional protection.
What’s included in your secure storage service?
Our standard service includes collection from your home or business, transport by our trained removals team, secure storage in a clean, dry unit and return delivery when you need your items back. You can add optional services such as packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and protection for fragile or high-value items. We’ll discuss what you need at the quotation stage so your service is tailored to your situation without paying for extras you don’t require.
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, no dedicated storage facility and little accountability if something goes wrong. We provide end-to-end professional support: trained staff, proper packing and handling, fully insured transport, secure monitored storage and clear documentation. Your belongings stay within one managed system from collection to redelivery, reducing the risk of damage, loss or confusion, and giving you a single, responsible point of contact throughout.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
For the best choice of dates and to allow time for a survey if needed, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance. However, we understand that storage needs often arise at short notice, especially around property completions and tenancy dates in Haggerston. If your timescales are tight, contact us as soon as you know you’ll need storage. We’ll check availability, talk you through the options and do our best to accommodate your preferred collection date.
