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 will ask a few straightforward questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery options. Pricing is transparent, with no hidden extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger loads or business storage, we usually carry out a quick survey. This can often be done via video call using your phone, or we can attend in person in Wormwood Scrubs. The survey lets us confirm the space required, number of containers, access issues and whether any items need special handling.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can supply materials and a professional packing service. We use strong cartons, bubble wrap and covers for furniture. Items are labelled clearly so we know exactly what is in each container and where it should return. Fragile and high-risk items are wrapped and protected individually.
4. Collection, Loading & Transport
On collection day, our trained team arrives within the agreed time window. We protect floors and doorways where required, dismantle furniture if needed and carefully load everything into our vehicles. Goods are carried securely to our storage facility, with loads tied and padded to avoid movement in transit.
5. Secure Storage & Redelivery
Once at our facility, items are placed into clean, secure storage units or containers. Units are locked, numbered and monitored. When you are ready, simply contact us to arrange partial retrieval or complete redelivery to your new address in Wormwood Scrubs or anywhere in London.
Our Storage Facilities and Security Measures
Your belongings are protected by a combination of physical and procedural safeguards, including:
- Modern alarm systems and 24/7 CCTV coverage
- Controlled access to storage areas
- Clean, dry and well-maintained units to help prevent damp and mould
- Secure locking and inventory records for each customer
- Careful handling by trained staff at all times
We treat security as a process, not just a locked door. That means robust checking-in and checking-out of items and clear paperwork from start to finish.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
We keep our pricing structure straightforward and honest. Your total cost will depend on:
- The volume of items (space required)
- How long you need storage
- Whether you need us to pack, or just collect ready-packed items
- Access requirements at your property (stairs, parking, distance from vehicle)
We will always explain costs clearly in writing, including any minimum storage period and notice required for redelivery. There are no surprise charges for standard access, and we will discuss any optional extras before you commit.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Basic Man-and-Van?
Using a professional removals and storage company is very different to hiring a casual man-and-van or attempting to move everything yourself.
- Protection – Proper packing, handling and stacking reduce breakages and long-term damage.
- Insurance – Our work is covered by goods in transit and public liability insurance, giving you protection that informal services cannot offer.
- Traceability – Inventories, labelling and secure units mean nothing gets lost or mixed with other people’s belongings.
- Time and effort – Our team does the heavy lifting, planning and transport so you can focus on your move or project.
DIY storage often means repeated trips, poor packing and items left at risk of damp or damage. With us, everything is handled methodically and safely.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Storage Wormwood Scrubs operates to recognised industry standards. We are fully insured, with:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are being moved between your property and our storage facility.
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property while we are working on-site.
- Trained moving teams – experienced staff who understand correct lifting techniques, safe packing and careful handling.
We will explain our insurance cover in plain language and provide documentation on request, so you know exactly where you stand.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Looking after your possessions goes hand in hand with looking after the environment. Our approach includes:
- Using reusable moving blankets and crates where appropriate
- Offering durable cartons that can be used multiple times
- Encouraging responsible disposal and recycling of unwanted items
- Planning routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage
During packing and storage, furniture is covered, mattresses are bagged and delicate items are wrapped to help protect against dust, scuffs and accidental knocks.
Common Real-World Uses for Our Secure Storage
Moving House in Wormwood Scrubs
If completion dates do not line up or you are downsizing, storage gives you breathing space. We can move everything out, hold it securely, then deliver straight to your new home once you have the keys.
Office and Business Relocations
Businesses use our secure storage to hold surplus furniture, archive documents or keep stock during moves and refurbishments. We work around your trading hours to minimise disruption.
Refurbishments and Renovations
Keeping furniture in a building site often leads to damage. We remove and store your items while work is carried out, then bring them back once the dust has settled.
Student and Short-Term Storage
Students and short-term renters in Wormwood Scrubs benefit from cost-effective, flexible storage over holiday periods, between courses or during placements, without hauling everything home and back again.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Wormwood Scrubs cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need and how long you need it for. We typically charge a collection fee based on the size of the load and access at your property, followed by a weekly or monthly storage rate per unit or container. Optional services such as packing and materials are priced separately so you only pay for what you use. We always confirm costs in writing before you commit, with no hidden charges for standard access or redelivery within agreed hours.
Do you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day storage in Wormwood Scrubs, particularly for smaller loads or emergencies such as sudden tenancy changes or urgent clear-outs. The more notice we have, the easier it is to guarantee your preferred time slot, but we do keep some flexibility for urgent situations. If you need immediate help, call us directly so we can check vehicle availability, storage space and access requirements and give you a realistic timescale and price on the spot.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them to and from our facility, and by our storage-related cover once they are in our care, subject to our terms and conditions. We also carry public liability insurance for work on your premises. We will explain what is included, any applicable limits and how to declare particularly high-value items. For very valuable possessions, we may recommend additional cover through your own insurer to ensure full protection.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our standard service includes collection from your property, careful loading, transport to our storage facility and placement into a clean, secure unit or container. We provide basic protective coverings for furniture and create a record of what is stored. On request, we can also supply packing materials, a full or partial packing service, furniture dismantling/reassembly and redelivery to the same or a different address. You get clear communication, professional handling throughout and help with planning retrieval when you are ready.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?
A casual man-and-van typically offers simple transport with limited or no insurance, minimal paperwork and no guaranteed storage standards. By contrast, we provide structured, professional secure storage with inventories, proper packing, labelled units and monitored facilities. Our trained team uses suitable equipment and techniques to protect your belongings, and our work is covered by appropriate insurance. You also benefit from clear contracts, agreed timescales and a single point of contact for collection, storage and redelivery, which greatly reduces risk.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For the best choice of dates and to keep costs down, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or university term. However, we understand that circumstances can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where we can. Once you know your likely dates and what needs storing, contact us and we will hold a provisional slot, confirm details after a quick survey and finalise everything in writing.
