Our secure storage is used by local businesses for documents, stock, marketing materials, exhibition stands, tools and equipment. We offer flexible unit sizes so you only pay for the space you need, with the option to scale up or down as your requirements change.
Students
We provide affordable storage for students during holidays, placements or year abroad schemes. Store books, clothing, small furniture and personal belongings without dragging everything home and back again.

If you are unsure whether an item is permitted, our team will be happy to advise before your collection or move-in date.
Our Secure Storage Process Step by Step
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of what you need to store, for how long and whether you require collection. We ask a few straightforward questions about volume, item types and access. Based on this, we recommend a unit size and provide a clear, no-obligation quote, with any optional services listed separately.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves or where storage is part of a house or office move, we offer a professional survey. This can be done by video call or in person. We assess access, parking, item sizes and any special protection required. This allows us to plan vehicle size, number of staff and materials accurately.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items or use our packing service. If we pack for you, our trained team arrives with suitable boxes, wrapping materials and furniture covers. We carefully prepare fragile, high-value and bulky items, label boxes clearly and can create an inventory so you know exactly what is going into storage.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our removals team arrives at the agreed time. We protect your property with blankets, floor protection and door covers where required. Items are loaded methodically, secured in the vehicle and transported directly to our Lower Morden storage facility under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the facility, we unload carefully, placing items into your allocated unit in an organised manner for easy access later. We can stack and arrange boxes and furniture to make best use of space, while keeping fragile items protected and accessible. When you are ready for redelivery, we reverse the process, bringing your belongings back to your chosen address and placing items in the rooms you specify.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
We believe storage costs should be easy to understand. Our pricing is based on:
- Size of unit required (measured in square or cubic feet)
- Length of storage term
- Collection and delivery requirements
- Optional services such as packing, materials and insurance extensions
Your quote will set out all relevant charges, including any minimum term, notice period and how payments are made. There are no hidden access fees for normal hours, and we will always explain any additional cost in advance if you request extra services or out-of-hours access.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY Options
Using a professional storage company offers several advantages over hiring a casual man-and-van or using an unmonitored garage, shed or lock-up:
- Professional handling and loading reduces the risk of damage
- Trained staff know how to stack and protect items safely
- Purpose-built, dry storage protects against damp and condensation
- Modern security systems and controlled access for your peace of mind
- Formal contracts and documentation so you know where you stand
- Fully insured with goods in transit and public liability cover
In contrast, DIY storage in sheds or garages often lacks proper security, climate control and insurance, while informal man-and-van operators may not have suitable cover or training.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Looking after your belongings properly is at the heart of what we do.
- Goods in transit insurance while your items are being moved to and from the facility
- Public liability cover for work carried out in your home or business premises
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling fragile, bulky and high-value items
- Documented procedures for inventories, access control and key-holding
We will explain the scope of cover, any limits and exclusions, and can often arrange increased cover where higher value items are involved, subject to valuation and agreement.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care not only of your belongings, but also of your property and the environment:
- Use of padded blankets, mattress bags and furniture covers to prevent scuffs and marks
- Floor and door protection when required during collection and delivery
- Encouraging reuse of sturdy boxes and use of recyclable packing materials where possible
- Route planning to minimise unnecessary journeys and fuel use
- Responsible disposal or recycling of unwanted items by arrangement
Our aim is to provide a secure, well-managed service that treats your belongings and the planet with respect.
Real-World Ways Customers Use Our Secure Storage
Moving House
Completion dates do not always line up. Our secure storage bridges the gap if you need to move out before your new home is ready. We can manage the whole process: pack, collect, store and redeliver on the day you complete.
Office Relocation or Refurbishment
Businesses use our storage to hold furniture, IT equipment and files during refits or relocations. We can collect outside normal office hours to minimise disruption, and return items systematically so your team can get set up quickly.
Urgent and Same-Week Moves
Life can change suddenly. If you face an urgent move, end of tenancy, or unexpected situation, we can often provide fast access to secure storage with short notice. Subject to availability, our team will work with you to create a practical plan that keeps your possessions safe while you focus on the next steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Lower Morden cost?
The cost depends mainly on the size of unit you require and how long you need it for. Smaller units for a few boxes and small items are naturally cheaper than larger rooms suitable for full house contents or business stock. We offer weekly or monthly rates, with discounts for longer-term storage in many cases. Collection, packing and redelivery are priced separately so you only pay for what you use. Once we know roughly what you are storing, we can give you a clear written quote with no hidden extras.
Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?
Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-day or next-day secure storage for urgent situations such as sudden tenancy changes, emergency works or last-minute moves. If you need fast help, call us as early as possible and explain your circumstances. We will check unit availability, vehicle schedules and staff to see what we can offer. Even where same-day collection isn’t possible, we can usually reserve space immediately and agree a prompt collection slot to keep your belongings safe without delay.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes, we provide goods in transit insurance while your items are being moved and standard cover while they are stored in our facility, subject to our terms and conditions. There will be value limits and exclusions, which we will explain clearly before you sign any agreement. For higher value contents, we can usually arrange additional cover or work alongside your existing home or business insurance. We recommend you provide an accurate valuation of the items being stored so that the level of cover is appropriate.
What is included in your secure storage service?
At its simplest, our service includes a clean, dry, individually locked storage space with 24/7 monitored security and controlled access. We handle the paperwork, unit allocation and access arrangements, and our team is on hand during opening hours to assist. Many customers add optional services such as collection and delivery, professional packing, supply of cartons and packing materials, and inventory preparation. We will set out clearly what is included as standard and list any optional extras, so you can tailor the service to your needs and budget.
How is professional storage different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often to a garage, lock-up or similar space that may not be purpose-built for long-term storage. Professional secure storage, like ours, provides a managed, monitored environment with CCTV, alarms, controlled access and documented procedures. Our trained staff understand packing, stacking and protection, reducing the risk of damage. You also benefit from proper contracts, public liability cover and clearly defined insurance. This adds up to greater security, accountability and peace of mind compared with informal, unregulated arrangements.
How far in advance should I book storage?
If possible, it is wise to book at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end when moves are common. Early booking gives you the widest choice of unit sizes and collection dates. However, we understand that circumstances change, so we always keep some flexibility for late bookings and urgent situations. Even if your dates are not confirmed, it is helpful to talk to us early so we can pencil in space and provisional slots, then firm up details once you know more.
