Who Our Secure Storage Is For
Homeowners
If you are between properties, decluttering before a sale or renovating, our secure storage gives you a clean, dry space for furniture and personal effects. We can collect from your current home, hold in storage, then deliver to your new address when you are ready.
Renters
When your tenancy dates don’t quite line up or you are moving into a smaller place, storage can remove the pressure. Store larger items or seasonal belongings while you settle into your new home, without being forced into rushed decisions about what to keep.
Landlords
Landlords often use our storage between tenancies for part-furnished properties, or to hold furniture while refurbishments take place. We can work around check-in and check-out dates and provide written inventories for your records.
Businesses
From sole traders to offices, our secure storage suits excess stock, archived documents, spare furniture and exhibition equipment. We offer flexible access by arrangement and can handle collections and deliveries directly from your premises.
Students
Students moving between halls, private rentals or travelling outside term time use our storage instead of hauling everything home. We can collect boxed belongings from your address, store them safely over the break, then redeliver when you return.
Our Step-by-Step Secure Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or through our online form. We ask a few straightforward questions about what you want to store, your addresses in or around Seven Kings, and your timescales. Based on this, we provide a clear written quotation covering collection, storage and redelivery if required.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger consignments, we arrange a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to measure volume, check access (lifts, stairs, parking) and confirm what packing materials or special handling may be needed. This step keeps everything accurate, so there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can either pack yourself, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our team use sturdy boxes, wrapping materials and protective covers for furniture. Every item is labelled clearly for easy identification in storage and simple delivery back to you later.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
On the agreed date, our trained removals crew arrive on time, protect floors and bannisters as needed and carefully load your belongings into our vehicle. Everything is secured for transport and taken directly to our secure storage facility, reducing handling and risk.
5. Unloading, Storage & Future Redelivery
At our facility, your goods are unloaded into a designated unit or container. Items are stacked safely, with furniture wrapped and protected. When you are ready, we arrange redelivery to your new address, place furniture where requested and remove used packing materials where possible.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
We price our secure storage based on:
- Volume of goods (how much space you require)
- Length of time in storage
- Collection and redelivery addresses
- Any optional services such as packing or disposal of unwanted items
You receive a written quotation breaking down each element so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden charges for standard access or basic handling. Longer-term clients may benefit from reduced monthly rates, which we discuss openly beforehand.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY
Using a professional removals and storage company like Storage Seven Kings offers several advantages over self-storage or informal man-and-van options:
- Fully insured: Your goods are covered under our goods in transit and storage insurance, subject to terms.
- Careful handling: Our trained staff move furniture and boxes safely, minimising the risk of damage.
- One-stop solution: We can pack, collect, store and redeliver – you are not juggling multiple companies.
- Proper inventories: We keep clear records of what is stored, which helps if you ever need to make a claim.
- Reliable vehicles and equipment: Purpose-built removals vehicles and protective materials, not improvised transport.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. As a professional removals and storage company, we maintain:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings during collection, delivery and any moves between sites.
- Public liability cover – for your peace of mind when we are working in your home, office or building.
- Trained moving teams – staff experienced in handling bulky, awkward and fragile items carefully.
Full terms and limits of cover are available on request, and we are happy to talk you through how they apply to your specific situation.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Protecting your belongings starts with how we pack and handle them. We use furniture blankets, mattress covers and robust boxes to minimise movement and surface damage. Items are stacked with stability and safety in mind, not simply crammed in.
We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Wherever possible we:
- Use reusable protective materials such as blankets and plastic crates
- Source recyclable cardboard and paper-based packing
- Encourage customers to reuse cartons for redelivery instead of new boxes
When you no longer need certain items, we can arrange disposal or donation through appropriate channels, helping reduce waste going straight to landfill.
Real-World Uses for Secure Storage
Moving House
Chains do not always align neatly. Our storage bridges the gap between completion dates, giving you somewhere safe to hold everything from full house contents to a few key pieces while you complete, decorate or renovate.
Office Relocation
Businesses often need temporary storage during refits or relocations. We can hold spare desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment, then deliver them in phases as your new workspace is set up.
Urgent or Same-Day Moves into Storage
Occasionally, circumstances change suddenly – a sale completes quicker than expected, or you need to vacate a property at short notice. Where we have space and crew availability, we can arrange urgent collection into storage from Seven Kings or nearby areas, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need and for how long. We calculate volume in cubic feet or metres and match you to an appropriately sized unit or container. Short-term storage is usually charged weekly or monthly, while longer-term arrangements may attract reduced rates. Additional charges may apply for collection, packing or redelivery, but these are always clearly itemised in your quotation. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us with a rough list of items or arrange a quick survey.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where availability allows, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves into storage around Seven Kings. It depends on two factors: whether we have an appropriate unit or container free, and whether we have a removals crew and vehicle available at the time you need. If you require urgent storage, call us as early as possible in the day. We will check capacity immediately and either confirm a time or offer the nearest alternative that still meets your critical deadlines.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being collected or delivered, and by our storage insurance while held in our facility, subject to policy terms and limits. We will explain the standard cover included and discuss any high-value items that may need to be declared separately. It is important that you provide accurate replacement values for your goods so the cover is appropriate. We are happy to provide a copy of our insurance summary and answer any questions before you commit.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our core service includes storage in a clean, dry and secure facility, with your goods carefully stacked and protected. Most customers also ask us to handle collection and redelivery using our professional removals teams and vehicles. Optional extras include packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembling furniture, and disposal of unwanted items. We set out exactly what is included in your quotation, so you can add or remove services according to your needs and budget, without any unwelcome surprises later.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may move items from A to B, but often without proper insurance, inventories or secure storage facilities. With Storage Seven Kings, you get fully insured transport, a dedicated storage space, trained staff, and documented records of what we are holding on your behalf. We also provide packing materials, protective coverings and a structured process from enquiry to redelivery. This reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes and gives you a clear point of contact throughout.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
For planned moves or refurbishments, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives us time to survey if needed, reserve the right amount of space and schedule a crew at a time that suits you. That said, we regularly accommodate shorter notice bookings, including next-day and occasional same-day moves, subject to capacity. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer and the easier it is to keep everything running smoothly.
