How Our Secure Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Initial Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask some simple questions about item types, access requirements and dates. From there we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate outlining storage charges, collection costs and any optional packing services.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger consignments, we usually carry out a survey – either a video walk-through or an in-person visit in New Malden and surrounding areas. This lets us confirm volumes (in cubic feet or metres), check access (stairs, lifts, parking) and identify any special handling or packing needs. The survey ensures the quote is accurate and the right size storage is reserved.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our trained team use suitable cartons, wrapping, and furniture protection. We label items clearly so that when you want something back, we can locate it quickly. Furniture is wrapped or export-packed where necessary to protect it during handling and storage.
4. Loading & Transport to Store
On collection day, our crew arrive with the correct vehicle, protective equipment and materials. Items are carefully carried, wrapped as needed, and loaded in a logical order to minimise movement in transit. We then transport your goods securely from your New Malden address to our storage facility, with your inventory recorded.
5. Unloading, Storage & Future Return
At the warehouse, your goods are unloaded into allocated storage units or containers. Everything is stacked safely with heavier items at the bottom and fragile pieces protected. When you’re ready, we arrange redelivery back to your New Malden home, office or new address, unloading and placing items in the rooms you choose.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
We keep pricing straightforward so you know exactly what you are paying for. Costs usually consist of:
- A one-off collection and delivery charge (depending on volume, access and distance).
- A weekly or monthly storage fee based on the space you use and the duration.
- Optional extras such as professional packing, packing materials, specialist handling and additional access visits.
There are no hidden administration or "surprise" charges. We explain how your price is calculated, and we are happy to break costs down so you can compare different options (for example, decluttering before storage versus storing everything).
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY Options
Using a professional removals and storage company in New Malden offers several advantages over hiring a casual man-and-van or using self-storage alone:
- Safety & protection: Proper wrapping, lifting and stacking reduce the risk of damage.
- Fully insured: Our goods in transit and public liability cover protect you in ways informal operators usually cannot.
- Trained staff: Our crews are trained in manual handling, care of furniture and safe loading techniques.
- Time-saving: We handle everything from door to store, so you avoid multiple trips and hiring vans.
- Accountability: Contracted terms and clear inventories give you a proper record of what’s stored.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your belongings are important to you, so we treat them with the same care we would give our own. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance for items while being moved between your property and the storage facility.
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property while we are working on-site.
- Trained and uniformed crews who follow established moving and storage procedures.
- Documented inventories for stored goods, so we all know what has been placed into storage.
We continually review our working practices, equipment and staff training to maintain a consistent, professional standard of service across every job in New Malden.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We believe good storage is about long-term care, not just locking things away. That means:
- Using quilted covers, blankets and wrapping to protect surfaces.
- Keeping items raised off the floor where appropriate and stacked safely.
- Using reusable protective materials wherever possible to reduce waste.
- Offering reclaimed cartons and advising on how to reuse or recycle packing after your storage period ends.
We also plan routes sensibly around New Malden and neighbouring areas to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions, while still keeping appointments punctual.
Real-World Secure Storage Use Cases
Moving House with a Gap Between Dates
Many New Malden customers find that sale and purchase dates do not line up. We collect your contents, place them into secure storage, and then deliver once your new home is ready. You avoid the stress of last-minute arrangements and short-term rentals.
Office Relocation and Business Storage
Businesses use our secure storage for excess furniture, archived paperwork and seasonal stock. During an office move, we can stagger deliveries from storage to avoid overcrowding your new premises and to keep operations running smoothly.
Urgent or Short-Notice Storage
If you face an unexpected change – such as a contract falling through or sudden building works – we can often arrange swift, sometimes same-day, collection in New Malden subject to availability. Your belongings go straight into managed, secure storage until your situation settles.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in New Malden cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much space you need, how long you need it for and whether you require collection, packing or redelivery services. We price storage by volume, so you only pay for the space your belongings actually occupy, not for an oversized unit you don’t fill. Collection and delivery are charged separately based on access, distance and labour time. Once we’ve discussed or surveyed your items, we provide a clear written quote with all charges explained before you commit.
Can you offer same-day or urgent secure storage?
In many cases we can accommodate same-day or short-notice storage in New Malden, especially outside of peak moving days. Availability depends on the size of your consignment, our vehicle schedule and current warehouse capacity. If you need urgent storage, contact us as early as possible in the day with details of what needs storing and from where. We’ll quickly confirm whether we can help, outline costs and agree realistic collection and storage timescales so you know exactly what to expect.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance while items are being moved between your property and our storage facility, along with public liability cover while we’re working on-site. Separate cover for goods while they are in storage is usually arranged either through our recommended policy or your own insurer, depending on value and requirements. During quotation we’ll explain what level of protection is included as standard, what optional upgrades are available and any documentation needed to ensure your belongings are properly covered throughout their time with us.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our service typically includes collection from your New Malden property, protective wrapping of furniture, safe loading, transport to our facility, secure storage in a suitable unit or container and a scheduled redelivery at the end of the storage period. We can also provide professional packing, supply of materials and help with dismantling and reassembly of larger items if required. We maintain an inventory of items stored and keep your goods in clean, dry conditions. Your quote will specify exactly what is included, so everything is clear from the outset.
How is professional secure storage different from a man-and-van or self-storage?
With a casual man-and-van, you normally handle all the packing, lifting and arranging of storage yourself, often with limited or no insurance and little accountability. With self-storage, you must also organise vehicles and staff. Our professional secure storage service combines expert removals, proper protection of your belongings, documented inventories and structured insurance cover. You deal with one responsible company from door to store and back again. This reduces the risk of damage, saves considerable time and gives you a single point of contact for any questions or changes.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
For the best choice of dates and to keep costs down, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as month-end, summer and school holidays. That said, we regularly accommodate shorter-notice requests in New Malden when our schedule allows. As soon as you think you might need storage, contact us to discuss your likely dates and volumes. We can reserve provisional space, adjust as your plans firm up and help you avoid last-minute stress or unavailability.
