We help landlords in Childs Hill store furniture between lets, during refurbishments, or when converting between furnished and unfurnished. We can also remove and store tenant items by prior agreement.

How Our Secure Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with an overview of what you need to store, where from, and for how long. We ask a few questions to understand access, item types and timing. Based on this, we provide a clear, written quotation outlining collection, storage, and future redelivery costs.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger collections, we arrange a free survey. This can be virtual (video call, photos or inventory list) or an onsite visit in Childs Hill. The survey allows us to confirm the volume, special care items and access requirements so that the right size vehicle, team and materials are booked.
3. Packing & Preparation
On collection day, our trained crew arrive with the appropriate packing materials. You can choose from:
- Full packing service – we pack everything safely into boxes and wrap furniture
- Part‑packing – we pack fragile or awkward items only
- Self‑packing – you pack boxes; we wrap and protect furniture
All items destined for storage are carefully labelled and inventoried so that nothing is misplaced.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
We use proper moving equipment and protective covers when loading. Goods are transported in fully insured vehicles by experienced drivers. On arrival at our secure facility, items are placed into clean, dry storage units or containers, stacked safely to avoid damage.
5. Secure Storage, Unloading & Placement on Return
While in store, your belongings are held in an alarmed, monitored environment with restricted access. When you are ready, we schedule redelivery to your new or existing address. We then unload, unwrap and place items into the rooms you specify, making the return as straightforward as possible.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We structure our secure storage pricing so you know exactly what you are paying for:
- Collection and packing – usually a one‑off fee based on time, labour and materials
- Storage – a weekly or monthly rate based on the volume you use
- Redelivery – charged similarly to collection when you want items back
There are no hidden extras. Any optional services – such as extra packing, disposal of unwanted items, or urgent access – are explained in advance. We are always happy to compare different options (for example, fewer larger containers versus more smaller ones) so you can choose what suits your budget.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY
Using a professional removals and storage company in Childs Hill offers advantages that self‑storage or casual man‑and‑van setups simply cannot match:
- Trained handlers who know how to protect furniture, glass and fragile items
- Integrated collection, storage and redelivery – you do not have to hire vans or carry heavy items
- Goods in transit insurance and secure facility cover, rather than relying on your own policy
- Consistent standards, written inventories and reliable timekeeping
- Proper protective materials and equipment, reducing the risk of damage or injury
DIY or informal man‑and‑van solutions may seem cheaper at first glance, but the hidden costs of damage, lost time and lack of protection often outweigh any short‑term saving.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while being moved to and from storage
- Public liability cover for work carried out at your property or business premises
- Trained and vetted moving teams experienced in safe lifting and packing
- Alarmed, monitored storage with restricted access, CCTV and robust security measures
We are clear about what is and is not covered under our policies, and we can discuss additional cover for particularly high‑value items where required.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your belongings are treated as if they were our own. We use clean transit blankets, mattress and sofa covers, shrink‑wrap and sturdy boxes to protect items from dust, knocks and moisture. Furniture is stacked sensibly, never forced into spaces where it might bend or break.
We also work with sustainability in mind. Where possible, we re‑use strong cartons, recycle materials responsibly and plan routes efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage. If you have unwanted items, we can often arrange responsible disposal or donation rather than sending them straight to landfill.
Real‑World Uses for Our Secure Storage
Moving House
Completion dates do not always align. We regularly help families in Childs Hill bridge the gap by moving contents into secure storage for a few days, weeks or months until their new property is ready.
Office Relocations
Businesses use our storage when moving premises, refurbishing, or downsizing. We can store surplus desks, chairs and files safely until decisions are made about their long‑term use.
Renovations and Refurbishments
Keeping furniture and belongings on‑site during building works exposes them to dust, damage and theft. Storing off‑site avoids this and gives tradespeople a clear run to get the job done.
Urgent or Short‑Notice Situations
Life does not always give much warning. We are often able to offer same‑week or even same‑day secure storage collection in and around Childs Hill, subject to availability. If you have an unexpected change of circumstances, we will do our best to help.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Childs Hill cost?
Costs depend mainly on the volume you store, the level of service you choose and how long you need storage for. There is usually a one‑off charge for collection and packing, then a weekly or monthly storage fee per unit or cubic foot. Redelivery is charged separately when you are ready. We provide a clear written quotation before any commitment, and we can tailor options to suit your budget, from basic self‑packed storage through to a full packing and inventory service.
Can you offer same‑day or urgent secure storage?
In many cases, yes. If we have vehicle and space availability, we can arrange same‑day or next‑day collection from Childs Hill and move your belongings straight into secure storage. The more notice you can give, the better the chance of securing your preferred time, but we understand that emergencies happen. Contact us as soon as possible with your location, volume and timing, and we will confirm what we can do and provide an immediate estimate.
What insurance cover do you provide for stored items?
We provide goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being moved to and from our facility, and the storage site itself is covered by appropriate property and security insurance. Standard cover is designed for typical household and office contents. If you have unusually high‑value items, we can discuss additional cover or specialist arrangements. We will always explain what is included, what excesses apply, and where your own home or business policy might complement our cover.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our core service includes professional collection from your property, loading and transport to our facility, secure storage in a clean, dry, alarmed environment, and redelivery when required. You can add optional services such as full packing, supply of boxes and materials, detailed inventory lists, furniture disassembly/reassembly and disposal of unwanted items. We will agree the exact scope with you beforehand so you know exactly what is included and what any optional extras would cost.
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 professional packing and no secure facility. We provide an integrated removals and secure storage service with trained staff, fully insured vehicles, proper materials, written inventories and monitored premises. That means less lifting for you, significantly lower risk of damage or loss, and clear accountability from one company throughout. For long‑term storage or valuable items, this level of protection and professionalism is especially important.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
For planned moves or renovations, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your ideal date and time, especially during busy periods such as month‑end and summer. However, we regularly handle short‑notice requests and will always try to accommodate you. Even if your dates are not fixed, it is worth getting a quotation and pencilling in provisional timings so we can plan vehicle space and storage capacity around your likely schedule.
