How Our Secure Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our enquiry form with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few questions about volumes, access, dates and locations. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation covering collection, secure storage and re-delivery if required.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger loads or full properties, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, item sizes, parking, and any special handling requirements, such as pianos or large wardrobes. Accurate surveying means the right vehicle, crew and packing materials, and prevents unexpected costs later on.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed day, our trained team will arrive with all necessary materials. We can offer:
- Full packing service – we pack everything for you
- Part packing – we handle fragile or bulky items only
- Self-pack – you pack, we provide materials if needed
Furniture is wrapped, mattresses bagged, and delicate items are carefully protected to ensure they remain in good condition during storage.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
Our team will load your items securely onto our vehicles, using blankets, straps and protective covers as needed. We then transport everything directly to our secure Portsmouth storage facility. Your goods are handled only by our professional staff, minimising risk of damage.
5. Unloading, Storage & Later Placement
At the facility, we unload your items into designated, inventoried storage units. Everything is stacked correctly to avoid pressure damage, and we maintain clear records of what you have stored. When you are ready for your items back, we schedule a convenient date and deliver them to your new address, placing furniture in the rooms you specify.
Our Secure Storage Facilities & Standards
Our Portsmouth storage is designed with security and care at its core:
- Modern, clean, dry units suitable for long or short-term storage
- 24/7 monitored CCTV and controlled access systems
- Intruder alarms and robust locking systems
- Inventory records and labelled containers for easy identification
All handling is carried out by trained staff who understand how to protect furniture, appliances and fragile items during moves and long-term storage.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
We aim to keep pricing straightforward and fair. Costs are typically made up of:
- Collection and loading from your property
- Weekly or monthly storage fees based on the volume of goods
- Packing materials and packing service, where required
- Re-delivery from storage to your chosen address
We will always provide a written quotation detailing exactly what is included, so you know where you stand. There are no hidden charges for basic handling or standard access arrangements.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY
Using a professional storage and removals company offers clear advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:
- Fully insured services for peace of mind
- Trained teams who know how to handle heavy and fragile items safely
- Purpose-built, monitored storage, not an unregulated lock-up or garage
- Proper packing materials and protection to reduce damage risk
- Single point of responsibility from collection to return
While DIY may seem cheaper on paper, when you factor in van hire, fuel, time off work, repeated trips and potential damage, a professional service is often more cost-effective and far less stressful.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We operate to robust standards to protect your belongings and your property:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while being moved between your home or business and our storage facility
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to buildings or third-party property during our work
- Fully insured storage – your items are covered while in our care, subject to terms and declared values
- Trained moving teams – staff are instructed in safe lifting, packing and loading techniques
We are committed to clear documentation and will explain our cover levels and any exclusions as part of your quotation.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Our approach includes:
- Use of high-quality blankets, wrapping and mattress covers
- Careful stacking to prevent crushing or warping during storage
- Clean, dry and well-maintained storage spaces
- Re-use of durable packing materials where suitable and recycling of cardboard and plastics to minimise waste
- Route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel consumption
Our goal is to provide reliable secure storage while reducing environmental impact where we can.
Real-World Uses for Our Secure Storage
Moving House
If completion dates do not line up, or you need to move out before your new place is ready, our secure storage provides a safe holding solution. We can collect from your old home, store your goods, then deliver to the new property when the keys are in your hand.
Office Relocations
Businesses often need temporary storage during refurbishments, phased office moves or downsizing. We can hold furniture, files and equipment while your new layout is finalised, and then return items as needed, reducing disruption to your staff.
Urgent Moves and Clearance
Sometimes moves happen unexpectedly – bereavements, fast completions, or last-minute tenancy changes. Our Portsmouth-based team can react quickly, clearing properties and placing items into secure storage at short notice, buying you time to decide what to keep, sell or donate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Portsmouth cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much you need to store, how long for, and whether you require collection and packing. We price storage by volume, so you only pay for the space you actually use, not a one-size-fits-all unit. Collection, packing and re-delivery are itemised separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Once we have details of your items and dates, we provide a clear written quotation with no hidden extras, and we are happy to explain how we have calculated everything.
Can you offer same-day or urgent secure storage?
In many cases, yes. Because we are locally based in Portsmouth with our own vehicles and crews, we can often arrange same-day or next-day collection into storage, particularly for smaller loads. Availability does depend on existing bookings and space in our facility, but we will always do our best to help in urgent situations. If you have a time-sensitive move or clearance, call us as early as possible so we can allocate vehicles, staff and storage space to meet your deadline.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance during collection and delivery, and by our storage insurance while in our facility, subject to our terms. We will ask you for an estimated total value of the items you are storing so we can ensure appropriate cover levels. Some exclusions apply, such as cash, high-value jewellery and certain documents, which we advise you to keep with you. We will explain the cover in plain language before you decide to go ahead.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our service typically includes collection from your address, careful loading by trained staff, transport to our monitored storage facility, secure storage for the agreed period, and re-delivery to your chosen location. We can also provide a full or part packing service, along with all necessary materials, if you prefer not to pack yourself. At every stage, we focus on protection, clear labelling and proper stacking so your belongings come out of storage in the same condition they went in.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van can move items, but usually does not provide the same level of protection, insurance or facility standards. With us you get a professional, fully insured team, trained in safe handling and packing, using purpose-built vehicles and secure, monitored storage. We offer written quotes, clear terms, and one point of contact throughout. If anything goes wrong, you have the reassurance of proper cover and a structured complaints process, which informal operators often cannot provide.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
For planned moves, we recommend booking as soon as you know your dates, ideally two to four weeks ahead. This gives us time to arrange surveys, materials and the right size of storage space. However, we understand that dates can change, especially with property chains, so we remain as flexible as possible. If you need storage at short notice, contact us and we will check current capacity. The earlier you get in touch, the more options we can offer.
