Who Our Secure Storage Is For
Homeowners
Perfect if you are moving house, renovating, or simply running out of space. Store furniture, white goods, seasonal items, hobby equipment and more in a secure, monitored unit while you get your home how you want it.
Renters
If you are between tenancies, house-sharing or downsizing, secure storage gives you a safe stopgap for your possessions. Avoid rushing decisions about what to keep or throw away – we can collect, store and redeliver when your new place is ready.
Landlords
Use our storage to hold furniture between lets, retain appliances during refurbishments, or clear properties quickly after a tenancy ends. We can work to tight timescales and coordinate with your contractors and agents.
Businesses
Our secure units suit documents, stock, exhibition equipment, furniture and archive material. Flexible access and commercial terms make it an efficient alternative to leasing extra office or warehouse space in New Barnet.
Students
Heading home for the holidays or a year abroad? Store books, clothes, IT equipment and personal items safely rather than dragging them back and forth. We offer short-term and shared storage options that keep costs sensible.

How Our Secure Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact our New Barnet office by phone or online and tell us what you need to store, when, and for how long. We will estimate the space required and provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and redelivery if needed.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger volumes, we recommend a free virtual or onsite survey. A move coordinator will assess access, parking, the number and type of items, and any special handling needs. This allows us to allocate the right vehicle, team and storage unit size, keeping your costs fair and predictable.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or choose our professional packing service. Our team will bring sturdy cartons, wrapping materials and protective covers. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses bagged, and fragile items packed with extra care to minimise movement during transport and while in storage.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our trained removals team will load your belongings safely, using blankets, straps and trolleys to protect both items and property. We then transport everything directly to our New Barnet storage facility in our sign-written, purpose-built vehicles.
5. Unloading & Storage Placement
At the depot, your goods are unloaded and placed in a secure unit, arranged to make future access straightforward. Items are stored off the floor in clean, dry conditions, with clear labelling so we can locate your belongings quickly when you request part or full redelivery.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Your quote will set out:
- Collection and transport charges (if required)
- Storage unit size and weekly or monthly rate
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Redelivery charges from our depot back to your property
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need and how long you store. Because we tailor unit size closely to your requirements, you only pay for the space you use. There are no hidden admin fees. Any ongoing promotions or multi-month discounts will be clearly explained.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY
Using a professional removals and storage company in New Barnet offers clear advantages over hiring a van and lifting everything yourself:
- Our trained teams know how to move heavy and fragile items safely, reducing the risk of damage or injury.
- We provide purpose-designed packing materials and correct stacking methods to protect goods in long-term storage.
- Our secure depot has controlled access, CCTV and alarm systems, which most domestic garages or sheds simply do not offer.
- You save time, effort and multiple trips, especially if you do not have suitable vehicles or spare helpers.
Informal man-and-van services often lack proper insurance, security and documentation. By contrast, our processes, contracts and cover are designed to safeguard both you and your belongings.
Insurance & Professional Standards
As a responsible removals and storage provider, we maintain comprehensive protection for our customers in New Barnet:
- Goods in transit insurance to cover belongings while they are being moved between your property and our facility.
- Public liability cover for peace of mind while our teams are working in your home, office or block.
- Fully insured storage premises with CCTV monitoring, secure access control and alarm systems.
- Trained storage and removals staff, following established handling procedures and industry best practice.
We will explain the scope and limits of cover before you book, and can advise on additional protection for unusually high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Items are wrapped, padded and stacked to prevent crushing, scuffs and damp. Units are inspected regularly and kept dry, clean and ventilated.
We also work to minimise waste and environmental impact. Wherever possible, we use recyclable materials, encourage re-use of cartons, and plan efficient routes between New Barnet and our customers to cut unnecessary mileage. Old packing materials can be taken away for recycling on request.
Real-World Secure Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Chains do not always line up perfectly. Secure storage gives you breathing space between sale and completion, or while you wait for building work to finish. We can pack, remove and store your entire household contents, then deliver to your new address when you get the keys.
Office Relocation
Businesses in New Barnet often use our storage when phasing an office move. Archive boxes, spare furniture and non-essential kit can go into storage so your core team can keep working with minimal disruption during the main move.
Urgent and Short-Notice Situations
Life is not always predictable. If you need to clear a property quickly following a sale, relocation, tenancy change or family situation, we can often arrange prompt collection and short-term secure storage while you decide the next steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in New Barnet cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need and how long you store for. Smaller units suitable for a few boxes and small items are naturally cheaper than larger spaces that hold full household contents or business stock. We price storage on a weekly or monthly basis, with discounts for longer commitments. Your quote will break down transport, storage and any packing services so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden fees and we will always suggest the most economical unit size for your needs.
Can you provide same-day or urgent secure storage?
In many cases, yes. If we have vehicle and unit availability, we can arrange same-day or next-day collection and storage from your New Barnet address or nearby areas. Urgent situations arise frequently – completion dates move, tenancies end suddenly, or building work overruns. Contact us as early as you can with details of what needs storing and by when. We will confirm realistic timescales, discuss unit size and access requirements, and prioritise your booking where possible. Even at short notice, we keep our processes organised and clearly communicated.
What insurance cover do you provide for stored items?
Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved and by the security measures at our facility while in storage. Our premises benefit from CCTV, alarm systems and controlled access, and we hold public liability cover for work carried out at your property. Standard limits are usually sufficient for typical household or office contents, but if you have items of particularly high value, we recommend discussing them with us in advance. We can then check suitability and, if needed, advise on additional cover or valuation options.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our core service includes a clean, dry and secure storage unit in New Barnet, held for as long as you require. Many customers also add collection and redelivery so they never need to hire a van or lift heavy items themselves. We can supply packing materials and offer a full or partial packing service if you prefer. During storage, your items are kept in a monitored facility with clear labelling and careful stacking. At the end of the term, we arrange return to your chosen address on a date that suits you.
How is professional secure storage different from a simple man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van usually offers transport only, often without dedicated storage facilities, formal contracts or robust insurance. By contrast, we provide integrated removals and secure storage with trained staff, documented inventories where required, and a controlled, alarmed depot in New Barnet. Your goods remain in the same professional system from collection to redelivery, reducing handling risks and confusion. We can also assist with packing, plan access around tight streets or flats, and give you clear points of contact throughout. Overall, it is a safer and more accountable option for valuable belongings.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
For planned moves, we recommend booking as soon as you know your dates, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This helps us guarantee unit availability in the right size and schedule the removals team at convenient times. That said, we regularly accommodate short-notice requests in New Barnet when space and vehicles allow. If your dates are uncertain, we can pencil in provisional plans and adjust as things firm up. Early conversation is always helpful, even if you are not ready to finalise straight away.
