Local Expertise in Somers Town
Because we are based in Somers Town, we understand the realities of storing items in central London: limited space at home, tight access, and busy timetables. Our team regularly works with residents in local streets and estates, nearby student halls, and small businesses operating from shops, offices and co-working spaces across the area.
We can advise on unit size, access arrangements and collection or delivery times that work around local traffic and parking restrictions. If you are also using a removals service, we can coordinate collection and storage so your items move seamlessly from property to unit and back again when required.
Who Our Secure Storage Is For
Homeowners
Homeowners use our secure storage when moving house, carrying out renovations, downsizing or simply reclaiming space. Store furniture, boxes, sports equipment and sentimental items you are not ready to part with, without clogging up the loft or garage.
Renters
For renters facing overlapping tenancies, short-notice moves or smaller new homes, we offer flexible units on rolling terms. Keep your belongings safe between flats or while you work out what fits in your new place.
Landlords
Landlords often need somewhere to keep furniture during refurbishments or between tenancies. Our secure storage allows you to clear properties quickly, store white goods and furnishings, and access them when you are ready to re-furnish.
Businesses
Local businesses use our secure storage for documents, marketing materials, stock, tools and equipment. It is a cost-effective alternative to bigger premises, with the ability to upsize or downsize units as your needs change.
Students
Students from local universities and colleges benefit from short-term storage over the summer or while on placements. Instead of hauling belongings home, store them safely nearby and collect them when you return to Somers Town.

How Our Secure Storage Process Works
We keep the process clear and structured so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a summary of what you need to store and for how long. We will discuss your requirements, suggest an appropriate unit size and explain access options. You will receive a clear, written quotation with no hidden charges.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger consignments, we can carry out a quick virtual survey (video call and photos) or arrange an onsite visit if combined with a removals service. This helps us confirm the space you require so you do not overpay for unused capacity.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your belongings yourself, or, if combined with our moving services, our trained team can handle packing for you. We recommend sturdy boxes, proper labelling and protective materials for fragile items. We can supply packing materials on request.
4. Loading & Transport
You can bring items to the facility yourself, or we can collect them from your home or office. When we handle transport, items are loaded carefully, secured for the journey and taken directly to your allocated storage unit.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, our crew or your own team will unload into your unit, stacking items safely and logically for future access. When you are ready to take items out of storage, we can either provide access for you to collect or arrange delivery back to your property.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We know that budgeting matters, especially during moves or business changes. Our pricing is based on:
- Size of unit required
- Length of storage term
- Level of access required (standard or more frequent)
- Optional collection and delivery services
You receive a clear weekly or monthly rate with any additional services itemised. There are no surprise administrative extras. If your needs change, we will help you move to a larger or smaller unit to keep your costs aligned with what you actually use.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY Options
Using a professional storage provider offers several advantages over keeping items in sheds, garages, spare rooms or informal arrangements:
- Purpose-built, dry, secure environment, reducing the risk of damp and damage
- Monitored access and CCTV, unlike many domestic spaces
- Appropriate goods in transit insurance when combined with our transport
- Structured contracts and clear responsibilities rather than vague, informal deals
- Flexibility to change unit size as your circumstances evolve
Compared with casual man-and-van operators offering ad-hoc storage in lockups, our facility is properly managed, covered by public liability insurance and run by trained staff who handle goods every day.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a responsible storage provider, we operate to high professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance when we transport your possessions to and from our facility, giving reassurance during the journeys.
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property while we are working on site.
- Trained moving teams experienced in safe lifting, loading and stacking to minimise risk of damage.
- Secure, monitored premises with restricted access, CCTV coverage and controlled entry systems.
We will explain how our cover works and what is included, and we can guide you on any additional insurance through your own provider if you are storing particularly high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your belongings are handled with care from the moment we collect them to the day you retrieve them. We use suitable protection such as blankets, covers and cushioning when transporting and stacking furniture and fragile goods. Units are clean, dry and regularly checked.
We also pay attention to sustainability. Where possible, we use reusable protection materials, durable crates and responsibly sourced cardboard. We consolidate journeys when we can to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions, all while maintaining punctuality and service quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Somers Town cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need, how long you plan to store for and whether you want us to handle collection and delivery. Smaller units for a few boxes and bags are naturally cheaper than larger spaces for full household contents. We provide clear weekly or monthly pricing with no hidden extras, and discounts may be available for longer-term bookings. Contact us with a rough inventory and your timescales, and we will recommend the most cost-effective option for your situation.
Can you offer same-day or urgent secure storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or very short-notice storage, particularly for urgent moves, last-minute landlord requirements or unforeseen situations. If you also need transport, we will check vehicle and crew availability and do our best to accommodate you. Calling us as early in the day as possible helps, especially at busy times of year. Even if full service is not possible immediately, we will work with you to find a practical short-term solution.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
When we transport your goods to and from our Somers Town facility, they are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to policy terms. While in storage, we maintain secure premises and public liability cover, and many customers also choose to extend their own home or business insurance to cover stored items. We will explain precisely what our policies include and help you understand any gaps, so you can decide whether to arrange additional cover for particularly high-value or specialist items.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our core service includes a clean, dry, individually locked unit in our Somers Town facility, basic facility security, agreed access during opening hours and clear contractual terms. For many customers we also provide optional extras such as collection from your property, professional packing, delivery back out of storage and packing materials. We are happy to tailor the level of support to your needs: some people prefer a simple self-storage style service, while others want a fully managed collection, storage and redelivery solution.
How is professional storage different from a man-and-van with a lockup?
A casual man-and-van arrangement often means belongings are stored in shared or informal spaces with limited oversight, unclear insurance and no guarantee of environmental conditions. By contrast, our professional secure storage is based in a managed facility with individual units, monitored access, structured contracts and appropriate insurance cover. Our trained teams handle loading and stacking carefully, and our premises are designed to keep items dry, secure and organised, giving you clearer accountability and greater peace of mind than ad-hoc solutions.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
If you know your dates, it is best to book as early as you can, particularly during peak periods such as summer moves and year-end office changes. Booking a few weeks ahead usually guarantees the widest choice of unit sizes and collection slots. That said, we understand plans can change quickly, so we always keep some flexibility for shorter-notice requirements. Even if your dates are not fixed, we can pencil in a provisional booking and adjust as your situation becomes clearer.
