Local New Eltham Expertise
Being based in New Eltham means we know the local roads, parking rules and property types inside out.

Many of our customers come from recommendations within New Eltham and nearby areas, and we treat every collection as if we were moving our own belongings.
Who Our Secure Storage Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, renovating or between completion dates, our secure storage gives you breathing space. We can collect your furniture and personal belongings, store them safely, then deliver to your new home when you are ready.
Renters
When a tenancy ends before the next one starts, or if you are moving into a smaller place, short-term storage can save the cost and upheaval of rushing a move. We often work with renters who need just a month or two of storage while they sort their next property.
Landlords
Landlords use our storage for furniture during refurbishments, change of use or compliance work. We can remove, store and return items to help you turn properties around quickly while keeping contents safe and documented.
Businesses
From sole traders to growing companies, we support businesses that need extra space without committing to larger premises. Typical uses include document archives, event equipment, seasonal stock and spare office furniture. We can combine secure storage with planned office moves and internal reshuffles.
Students
Students often need storage between terms, during placements or gap years. Our smaller units are cost-effective for boxes, suitcases, bikes and small furniture items. We can collect from halls or shared houses and deliver back at the start of term.
What You Can Store with Us
Our secure storage is suitable for most typical household and business items, including:
- Household furniture and white goods
- Boxes of clothes, books and personal items
- Office furniture, filing cabinets and archive boxes
- IT equipment, monitors and peripherals (properly packed)
- Tools and non-hazardous trade equipment
- Bikes, sports gear and hobby equipment
- Exhibition stands, marketing materials and sample stock
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded:
- Living animals or plants
- Perishable food or anything that may attract vermin
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (fuels, gas bottles, chemicals, paints)
- Illegal goods or anything obtained unlawfully
- Cash, high-value jewellery, fine art or irreplaceable documents (these are better in a bank safe deposit)
- Unregistered firearms or ammunition
If you are unsure whether an item is allowed, we are happy to advise before collection or move-in.
Our Secure Storage Process – Step by Step
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or through our website with an outline of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few simple questions about item types, volume and access requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with storage charges and any collection or delivery costs separated.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger volumes or whole-property storage, we arrange a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess the volume accurately, plan the right size vehicle and allocate the correct storage space. A proper survey helps avoid surprises on move day and ensures we quote accurately from the outset.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our trained teams use quality materials and appropriate wrapping for furniture, fragile items and electronics. Everything is inventoried, labelled and, where required, condition-checked before entering storage so you know exactly what is in your unit.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
On the agreed date, our trained removals team will load your belongings carefully, using blankets, ties and protective covers. Goods are then transported in fully insured vehicles directly to our New Eltham storage facility. We handle the heavy lifting and logistics while you focus on the rest of your move or project.
5. Unloading, Placement & Ongoing Access
Your items are unloaded into your designated storage space, stacked sensibly and protected from damage. We keep a record of what has been stored and where. When you are ready for your belongings back, we can arrange either self-access by appointment or a redelivery to your new address, depending on the service you have chosen.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes typically show:
- Weekly or monthly storage fee based on the space you need
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Collection and delivery charges (if using our removals teams)
- Any additional services requested, such as dismantling or specialist wrapping
There are no hidden charges for basic access or standard handling. If your requirements change, we can usually adjust your unit size up or down to suit, and we will always explain any cost implications in advance.
Why Use Professional Secure Storage Instead of DIY
Using a professional removals and storage company offers several advantages over DIY storage or casual man-and-van operators:
- Proper protection – professional packing, furniture covers and handling equipment reduce the risk of damage.
- Reliable insurance – cover is in place for goods in transit and in store, subject to terms.
- Accountability – written contracts, inventories and clear processes instead of informal arrangements.
- Time-saving – our teams handle the physical work and logistics efficiently.
- Security – monitored facility, controlled access and documented movement of goods.
DIY arrangements can appear cheaper at first glance, but when you factor in van hire, fuel, lost time, potential damage and limited security, they are rarely better value in the long run.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a reputable removals and storage provider in New Eltham, we operate to clear professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while being moved to and from our facility, within policy limits and conditions.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage or injury during our work on your premises.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in lifting techniques, packing methods and safe vehicle loading.
- Documented terms and conditions – so you know exactly what is covered and how your goods are managed.
We are always happy to explain our cover in plain language and advise on any additional protection you may wish to arrange for especially high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to look after your belongings and the environment with equal care. Furniture and fragile items are wrapped with suitable protection, and units are kept dry, clean and well ventilated. We reuse sturdy packing materials where appropriate, recycle cardboard and encourage customers to choose durable boxes rather than single-use alternatives.
By using one coordinated service for removals and secure storage, we minimise unnecessary journeys and reduce our overall carbon footprint across New Eltham and neighbouring areas.
Typical Real-World Uses for Our Secure Storage
- Moving house – using storage as a buffer between sale and purchase, or to declutter before putting your home on the market.
- Office relocation – keeping files, surplus desks and archive material safe while you refit a new workspace.
- Urgent moves – when completion dates are brought forward or unexpected issues arise, storage can buy you crucial time.
- Renovations and refurbishments – protecting furniture and equipment from dust, paint and damage while work is completed.
- Life changes – relationship changes, bereavements or relocations abroad often require temporary storage solutions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in New Eltham cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need, the length of time you require storage for and whether you would like us to handle collection and delivery. Smaller units suitable for a few boxes and small items are naturally cheaper than full household storage. We provide a tailored quote after a brief discussion or survey, with storage fees clearly separated from any removals charges. There are no hidden admin fees for standard access, and we will always advise if a different unit size would save you money.
Can you offer same-day or urgent secure storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day storage for urgent situations such as last-minute completion changes, emergency repairs or unexpected tenancy issues. The more notice we receive, the easier it is to keep costs down and schedule the ideal time slot, but we understand that life does not always go to plan. Call us as soon as you know you need help, and we will confirm availability, likely timings and any additional charges for out-of-hours or short-notice work.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from our New Eltham facility, and by our standard storage cover while in store, subject to policy limits and conditions. We will explain these clearly when you book, including any item value caps or exclusions such as cash, high-value jewellery or prohibited items. For especially valuable collections, you may wish to arrange additional cover through your own insurer. We encourage customers to keep an up-to-date inventory and approximate values for peace of mind.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our standard service includes a clean, dry storage unit, basic handling into store, standard access arrangements and the security features of our facility. If you choose our removals service as well, we will collect from your address, load professionally, transport to the store and unload into your unit. Optional extras include packing materials, full or part packing services, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and redelivery when you are ready. We tailor the package to what you actually need rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all bundle.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van can work for very simple moves, but they rarely provide the structure, insurance and accountability of a professional removals and storage company. Our teams are trained, our vehicles are properly equipped, and our facility is monitored and controlled. You receive written documentation, clear terms and a reliable point of contact. With ad-hoc operators you may have limited recourse if something is damaged or goes missing. For most customers, especially where whole households or business assets are involved, the additional reassurance is worth the modest difference in cost.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
For planned moves, we recommend contacting us 2–4 weeks in advance, particularly during busy periods such as the summer and end of the month. This gives us time to survey, plan your collection and secure the right size unit. That said, we always keep some flexibility for shorter-notice requirements and urgent situations. Even if your dates are not yet fixed, it is worth having an initial conversation so we can pencil you in and adapt the plan as your timings become clearer.
