Local Expertise in Shoreditch and Central London
Our team works in Shoreditch and the wider London area every day. We understand tight streets, awkward access, loading restrictions and building management rules that are common in E1, EC2 and the surrounding postcodes. This local knowledge means we plan collections and returns carefully to minimise disruption and avoid delays or fines.
Whether you are in a flat off Old Street, a townhouse near Hoxton Square, or a shared office on Shoreditch High Street, we know how to handle the logistics smoothly and safely.
Who Our Secure Storage Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you’re between homes, renovating, decluttering for sale, or simply need extra space. We can collect furniture, appliances, boxes and seasonal items, store them safely, and return them when you’re ready.
Renters
If you’re changing rentals, moving abroad for a period, or downsizing, secure storage gives you flexibility without losing possessions you still value. We handle everything from one-bedroom flats to larger shared homes.
Landlords
We support landlords who need to store furniture between tenancies, clear properties for refurbishment, or hold items while disputes are resolved. Our service is reliable, discreet and professional.
Businesses
From start-ups to established firms, we store office furniture, archives, promotional materials, event equipment and stock. Our business storage is suitable for both regular access and longer-term archiving.
Students
Students at nearby universities and colleges use our secure storage during holidays, placements and gap years. We can collect from halls or house shares, store safely, and deliver to your new address at term start.

Our Step-by-Step Secure Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with a brief outline of what you need to store, when, and from where. We ask a few practical questions and provide an initial estimate based on volume, access and duration. Our pricing is clear and itemised, with no hidden extras.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex jobs, we arrange a short virtual or onsite survey. This lets us assess access, parking, lift usage and the volume of items accurately. We then confirm a fixed quotation for collection and the ongoing storage rate, so you know exactly what to expect.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our teams use quality packing materials, furniture blankets and mattress covers. We label items clearly for easy retrieval and can itemise contents on a simple inventory upon request.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our trained movers arrive on time with suitable vehicles. We protect floors and doorways where needed, carefully load your belongings, and secure them for transit. All goods we handle are covered by our goods in transit insurance while on the move.
5. Unloading & Storage Placement
At our Shoreditch facility, we unload your items into a dedicated, secure unit or designated space. Units are locked, alarmed and monitored by CCTV. When you’re ready for your belongings back, we arrange a convenient delivery slot and place items into the rooms you specify.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
We keep pricing simple and transparent. The total cost of secure storage is usually made up of:
- Collection and handling charge – based on volume, access and distance
- Weekly or monthly storage fee – based on the size of unit or space required
- Optional services – such as packing, materials, or specialist handling
There are no hidden admin fees. We explain all charges upfront, and you only pay for the space and services you actually need. Longer-term storage is often eligible for discounted rates; we are happy to discuss options if you require storage for several months or more.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Using a professional removals and storage company provides a level of protection and reliability that DIY options or casual man-and-van services cannot match.
- Fully insured – cover for your goods in transit and in our care
- Trained teams – experienced in safe lifting, packing and loading
- Proper equipment – purpose-built vehicles, blankets, straps and covers
- Documented procedures – clear contracts, inventories and agreed terms
- Security – alarmed, monitored facilities rather than ad hoc garages or sheds
DIY storage might appear cheaper, but damage, loss, poor access or lack of insurance can make it a false economy. Our approach focuses on protecting your belongings and your time.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a professional removals and storage company, we take our responsibilities seriously:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being moved between your property and our facility.
- Public liability cover – protects you and your property while our team is working on-site.
- Trained, experienced staff – all team members are taught correct lifting techniques, packing methods and handling of delicate items.
We also maintain our vehicles and premises to a high standard, carry out regular safety checks, and keep clear records of every storage consignment.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings with the same care as we would our own. Furniture is wrapped and secured, boxes are stacked safely, and units are kept clean and dry.
We are also mindful of sustainability. Where possible we:
- Use reusable crates and blankets to reduce single-use packaging
- Source recyclable packing materials where practical
- Plan routes efficiently to cut down on unnecessary mileage
- Encourage re-use of boxes for multiple moves and storage periods
Our aim is to provide secure storage that is both responsible and efficient.
Real-World Uses for Our Secure Storage
Moving House
Chains fall through, completion dates change and new homes are not always ready when expected. Our secure storage gives you a safe holding solution, so you can move out on time without having to rush decisions about what to keep or discard.
Office Relocation
Businesses often need to decant furniture, files or equipment while refurbishing or relocating. We can move items out of your old office, store them for as long as needed, and then deliver straight into your new space on your chosen date.
Urgent or Same-Week Storage
Life does not always run to plan. If you need storage quickly due to unexpected circumstances – such as a sudden move, urgent repair work, or a change in tenancy – we will do our best to offer swift collection and secure temporary storage, subject to availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Shoreditch cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much you store, how long for, and whether you need us to collect and return your items. We typically charge a one-off fee for collection and handling, plus a weekly or monthly storage rate based on the size of unit required. Optional extras, such as packing and materials, are quoted separately. We provide a detailed written quotation before you commit, so you know exactly what you will pay and can adjust the service to suit your budget.
Can you provide same-day or urgent secure storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage within Shoreditch and the surrounding London areas. This depends on vehicle availability, crew scheduling and space in our facilities. If you have an urgent requirement, call us as early as possible with full details. We will be honest about what we can do, offer practical alternatives if needed, and prioritise essential arrangements such as key handover times or bailiff appointments where possible.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes, items we handle are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved, and we maintain insurance for goods in our care at the facility. This is designed to protect against specific, defined risks rather than act as a full contents policy. We will explain the cover limits and conditions before you book. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend you notify your own insurer or arrange top-up cover to ensure everything is fully protected to your satisfaction.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our standard service includes professional collection from your property, careful loading, transport to our storage facility, unloading into a secure, monitored unit, and continued storage for the agreed period. When you are ready, we arrange redelivery to your new or existing address. You can add optional services such as packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and supply of boxes and materials. We will tailor the package to your needs rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all solution.
How is this different from using a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may move items from A to B, but often without proper insurance, secure storage or professional handling. With Storage Shoreditch you benefit from trained staff, fully insured transport, alarmed and CCTV-monitored facilities, and clear written terms. We use appropriate vehicles, protective materials and handling techniques designed to prevent damage. In short, you are paying not just for transport but for security, accountability and a service built around protecting your belongings over the whole storage period.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
Where possible, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as month-end and the summer. This gives us time to carry out any required survey, reserve space in our facility, and schedule a crew at a time that suits you. However, we recognise that plans can change quickly. If you need storage at short notice, contact us and we will do everything we reasonably can to accommodate your timings and find a workable solution.
