What Our Secure Storage Service Includes

Our secure storage facility in Gallows Corner is designed for both short-term and long-term use, whether you need space for a week between moves or a stable home for business stock. All units benefit from:

• Modern, alarmed premises with monitored CCTV
• Individually locked units and controlled access

We can collect, store and redeliver your items using our own trained teams and vehicles, or you can bring items to us directly if you prefer.

Local Expertise in Gallows Corner

Being based in and around Gallows Corner means we know the local roads, traffic patterns and access restrictions extremely well. That helps us plan efficient collection and delivery runs, minimising disruption to you and your neighbours.

We regularly work with:

• Residential streets around Gallows Corner and wider Havering
• Local business parks, retail units and offices
• Letting agents and landlords with multiple properties
• Students moving to and from nearby universities and colleges

Our knowledge of local parking rules, loading bays and peak travel times allows us to schedule moves to and from storage with minimal stress and delay.

Who Our Secure Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

If you’re moving house, renovating, or simply decluttering, our storage is ideal for furniture, white goods, seasonal items and personal possessions. We can coordinate directly with your removals date, keeping everything under one roof with one point of contact.

Renters

Between tenancies, travelling, or moving into a smaller property? Our flexible contracts mean you can store for just a few weeks or much longer, without being tied into long leases. We can collect from high-rise flats and properties with tight access where space is limited.

Landlords

We support landlords who need to store furniture during refurbishments, changeovers or while converting between furnished and unfurnished lettings. Our professional team can also help with removals of old items and careful storage of good-quality furnishings.

Businesses

From sole traders to growing companies, our secure storage is used for stock, equipment, archive files and exhibition materials. We offer regular access, reliable security and clear invoicing so you can treat the unit as an extension of your own premises.

Students

Students often need storage during the summer or gap years. Rather than dragging everything home, store your belongings locally in Gallows Corner. Share a unit with friends, or let us collect from halls or shared houses at the end of term.

Our Secure Storage Process – Step by Step

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We ask a few questions about volume, type of items and access requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote for storage and, if required, collection and delivery.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger loads or whole-house contents, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to estimate the space you need accurately, plan the number of staff and vehicle size, and ensure access at your property and at our facility is straightforward.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own items or opt for our professional packing service. Our trained teams use quality cartons, wrapping and protective covers to safeguard your belongings in transit and while in storage. We label everything clearly and create an inventory, particularly for business and archive storage.

4. Loading & Transport

On the agreed day, our trained movers arrive on time, protect floors and walls as needed, and load your goods safely onto our vehicles. Everything is secured for transport and covered by our goods in transit insurance. We then take your items directly to our Gallows Corner storage facility.

5. Unloading & Storage Placement

At the facility, we unload into your allocated unit, storing furniture carefully and stacking boxes in a way that preserves access to items you may need during the storage period. We can provide a copy of the inventory so you know exactly what is stored and where.

Transparent Pricing and How Costs Work

We believe in clear, predictable pricing. The total cost is usually made up of:

• Unit size and type – charged per week or per month
• Length of storage – discounts may be available for longer-term bookings
• Collection and delivery – based on distance, volume and access
• Optional services – such as packing, materials and insurance extensions

We will always explain options and any potential additional charges before you commit, so there are no surprises later on. Quotes are provided in writing, and we are happy to adjust them if your requirements change.

Why Use Professional Secure Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Options?

Using a professional, purpose-built storage facility offers significant advantages over storing items in a friend’s garage, a damp lock-up, or an unregulated man-and-van unit:

• Proper security systems and controlled access
• Better protection from damp, pests and temperature fluctuations
• Clear contractual terms and accountability
• Access to fully insured, trained staff for handling and transport
• Professional packing and inventory options to reduce risk of damage or loss

For most people, the cost difference is modest compared with the peace of mind of knowing your belongings are properly protected.

Insurance and Professional Standards

When we transport your items to and from storage, they are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to policy terms and declared values. Our premises are protected by comprehensive security systems and public liability cover.

All removal and storage work is carried out by trained, uniformed staff who handle items carefully and follow established loading and storage methods. We document procedures, maintain vehicles and regularly review risk assessments to keep standards high.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your possessions as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are covered, and delicate items are boxed and cushioned appropriately. Units are kept clean and dry, and we monitor for any signs of damp or pests.

We are also conscious of our environmental responsibilities. We aim to:

• Use recyclable packing materials wherever practical
• Encourage customers to reuse boxes for multiple moves or storage periods
• Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions
• Maintain vehicles properly for better fuel efficiency

Real-World Uses for Our Secure Storage

Moving House

Chains don’t always align. If you need to move out before your new home is ready, we can pack, collect and store your entire household contents, then deliver everything once you get the keys. This avoids rushed decisions or last-minute arrangements.

Office Relocations and Business Changes

Businesses often need storage while relocating offices, refurbishing, or restructuring. We can take care of office furniture, archives, IT equipment and stock, keeping it secure and organised until you are ready for it again.

Urgent and Short-Notice Situations

Evictions, emergency repairs or flood damage can mean you need storage quickly. Subject to availability, we can often offer rapid-response secure storage in Gallows Corner, with our team handling packing, removal and storage in a single coordinated process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does secure storage in Gallows Corner cost?

Costs depend on the size of the unit, how long you need it and whether you’d like us to handle collection and delivery. Smaller units for boxes and a few items of furniture are naturally more affordable than whole-house or business storage. We’ll discuss what you plan to store, estimate the space required and then give you a clear weekly or monthly price, plus any transport costs. There are no hidden fees, and we’re happy to suggest ways to optimise space so you only pay for what you need.

Can you provide same-day or urgent secure storage?

Where space and staff are available, we can often arrange same-day or very short-notice storage, particularly for urgent situations such as emergency repairs, last-minute moves or tenancy issues. The more information you can give us when you call, the better we can plan. We will advise immediately on current availability, likely timings and any practical limitations. While we can’t guarantee same-day space at all times, we will always do our best to accommodate urgent requests in Gallows Corner.

Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?

When we transport your items to and from our facility, they are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to policy limits and conditions. Our premises are secured and covered by public liability insurance. We recommend you also check your home or business insurance, as some policies include cover for items in professional storage. If necessary, we can discuss additional cover options or higher-value declarations to make sure your belongings are appropriately protected throughout.

What is included in your secure storage service?

At the most basic level, you’re paying for a clean, dry, secure storage unit of a suitable size, within a monitored facility in Gallows Corner. Many customers also choose our collection and delivery service, where our professional team collects items, transports them under insurance and loads them carefully into the unit. Optional services include packing, supply of boxes and materials, and inventory creation for larger or business loads. We’ll outline exactly what is and isn’t included in your quote so everything is clear from the outset.

How is your service different from a man-and-van with a lock-up?

A casual man-and-van using an unsupervised lock-up rarely offers the same standards of security, documentation or insurance. With us, you get a purpose-designed, alarmed facility, controlled access, and trained staff handling your belongings. Our processes, insurance and contracts are transparent, so you know where your items are, who is responsible for them and how they’re protected. For long-term or higher-value storage, this level of professionalism and accountability is particularly important compared with informal arrangements.

How far in advance should I book secure storage?

If you know your dates, it’s wise to reserve storage as early as possible, particularly during busy moving periods such as late spring and summer. Booking a few weeks in advance usually secures your preferred unit size and collection date. That said, we understand plans change, and we regularly accommodate last-minute bookings where space allows. If your dates are uncertain, we can hold a provisional reservation and adjust as your schedule becomes clearer, keeping communication open throughout.
