Who Our Secure Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you’re decluttering for a sale, renovating, or moving between properties. Store furniture, white goods, seasonal items and sentimental belongings in a clean, secure unit until your new home is ready.
Renters
If your tenancy dates don’t quite line up, or your new flat has less storage, our units give you flexible, insured space. Avoid rushing decisions about what to keep or throw away; store it safely and decide later.
Landlords
Use our secure storage for part-furnished or fully furnished lets between tenancies, or to hold furniture while you carry out refurbishments. It’s an efficient way to protect your assets and avoid cluttered void properties.
Businesses
From online retailers to local trades, our storage is ideal for stock, tools, archives and equipment. You get a secure, access-controlled space without the overheads of a bigger commercial lease.
Students
Studying at nearby universities or colleges? Store your belongings safely over the holidays instead of dragging everything back home. Share a unit with friends to keep costs down.

How Our Secure Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Transparent Quote
Contact us by phone or online with an outline of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask a few straightforward questions and then provide a clear, no-obligation quote that explains unit size options, collection costs (if required) and any additional services.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger loads, we carry out a quick video or onsite survey. This helps us confirm the right unit size, access requirements at your property, and any special handling needs. It prevents surprises on the day and ensures the quote is accurate.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or choose our professional packing service. Our trained teams use quality packing materials, protective covers and labelling so everything is easy to locate later. We pay particular attention to fragile and high-sentiment items.
4. Collection, Loading & Transport
On the agreed day, our professional crew arrives on time, protects floors and doorways, and carefully loads your items. Vehicles are equipped for secure transport, and your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while in our care.
5. Secure Storage & Access
On arrival at our Highbury facility, items are unloaded into your dedicated, locked unit. The site benefits from CCTV, controlled access and robust security procedures. You can arrange access during opening hours, or book a delivery out when you are ready for your belongings back.
6. Unloading & Placement (When You Take Items Out)
When the time comes, we can either have your items ready for you to collect, or provide a full removal and redelivery service. Our team will bring everything to your new property, unload, and place items in the rooms you specify, saving you heavy lifting.
Pricing – Clear, Fair and Flexible
We price our secure storage on three main factors:
- Unit size – you only pay for the space you need.
- Duration – discounts are often available for longer-term stays.
- Additional services – such as collection, packing, and redelivery.
There are no hidden charges for standard access or basic security. All expected costs are explained upfront, and we are honest if a smaller (and cheaper) unit will be sufficient. We can adjust your unit size as your needs change, so you stay in control of your monthly outlay.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY Options
Using a professional storage and removals company is very different from squeezing belongings into a friend’s garage or hiring a casual van. With Storage Highbury you benefit from:
- Fully insured collection and storage, with goods in transit and public liability cover.
- Trained staff who know how to protect furniture, appliances and fragile items.
- Proper inventory and labelling, so you can easily find items later.
- Purpose-built, dry, ventilated storage – not a damp shed or makeshift space.
- Accountability: written terms, receipts and clear responsibilities if something goes wrong.
This approach reduces the risk of damage, loss and disputes, and makes the whole experience calmer and more organised.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are valuable, both financially and emotionally. We take that seriously:
- Goods in transit insurance covers your items while we are moving them between your property and the storage facility.
- Public liability cover protects you and your property while our team is working on-site.
- All team members are trained in safe handling, lifting techniques and packing methods.
- We follow industry best practice on inventories, condition reporting and secure key management.
If you have high-value items, we can discuss additional cover or advise you on limits and options so you can make an informed decision.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We focus on protecting your belongings and the environment:
- Use of high-quality blankets, covers and cartons to minimise damage.
- Reusable crates and protective materials wherever practical to reduce waste.
- Encouraging customers to reuse boxes and recycle materials after their storage term.
- Route planning to cut unnecessary mileage around Highbury and North London.
*Careful planning and thoughtful packing* mean fewer breakages and less need to replace damaged items, which is better for both you and the planet.
Real-World Uses for Our Secure Storage
Moving House
If completion dates don’t align, we can remove your belongings from the old property, store them securely, then deliver everything once you get the keys to your new home. It avoids rushing and allows for decorating before the furniture goes in.
Office and Business Relocation
Use our secure units to bridge the gap between leases, hold surplus desks and IT equipment, or keep archives safely off-site. We can coordinate directly with your team so downtime is kept to a minimum.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
Life doesn’t always give much notice. If you need space quickly following a sudden move, relationship change or property issue, we will do our best to arrange same-day or next-day storage and collection, subject to availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Highbury cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need, how long you want to store for, and whether you would like us to collect and redeliver your items. Smaller units suitable for boxes and a few pieces of furniture are naturally cheaper than larger rooms designed for full house contents or business stock. We always provide a clear, itemised quote before you commit, and we’ll help you choose the most efficient size so you’re not paying for unused space. Discounts may be available for longer-term storage.
Can you offer same-day or urgent secure storage?
In many cases we can provide same-day or short-notice storage, especially for smaller loads, though it does depend on current availability. If your situation is urgent, call us as early in the day as possible and explain what you need to store and where from. We’ll check unit availability, vehicle schedules and staffing and then give you a realistic plan. Even when same-day isn’t possible, we can usually arrange a next-day solution and advise you on how best to prepare in the meantime.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. When we handle collection and delivery, your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance. While in the storage facility, the building and units are covered by our insurance and security measures. We’ll explain policy limits and exclusions so you can decide whether to rely on our cover or arrange additional insurance of your own, particularly for very high-value items. The important point is that your possessions are not simply left at your own risk; there is structured protection and clear documentation.
What’s included in your secure storage service?
Our core service includes a clean, dry, individual unit, access during agreed hours, and comprehensive site security with CCTV and controlled entry. If you choose, we can add professional packing, collection from your property, protective materials and later redelivery to your new address. We also provide basic inventory records when we handle the move into storage. There are no hidden charges for standard security or lighting. Before you book, we’ll make clear exactly what is and isn’t included so you can choose the level of service that suits you.
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 dedicated storage facility and little accountability if something is damaged. By contrast, we provide fully insured collection, purpose-built secure storage, trained teams, proper packing materials and documented inventories. Your items go into a locked unit at a monitored site rather than a shed, lock-up or unknown location. If there is ever an issue, you have written terms and a clear process for resolving it. Overall, it’s a more secure and reliable solution.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For the best choice of unit sizes and collection slots, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. However, we understand that moves and renovations can change quickly, so we keep some flexibility for shorter-notice requests. Even if your dates aren’t fixed, it’s worth getting in touch early so we can pencil you in and adjust as your plans firm up. We’ll always be honest about availability and do our best to accommodate your timings.
