Who Our Secure Storage Is For
Homeowners
If you are between properties, downsizing or renovating, our secure storage allows you to clear space without parting with cherished belongings. Store furniture, white goods, seasonal items and personal effects for as long as you need, with flexible access by arrangement.
Renters
Tenancy changes rarely line up perfectly. Our storage is ideal when you need to be out of one property before the next is ready. Keep your goods protected rather than squeezing them into friends’ garages or overloading a small flat.
Landlords
Landlords use our secure storage to hold furniture between lets, keep replacement appliances ready, or store fixtures and fittings during refurbishments. It helps keep properties clear for viewings and work, while your assets remain safe and inventoried.
Businesses
From sole traders to growing companies, we provide business storage for stock, archive files, display materials, office furniture and equipment. Our service is suitable for both short-term overflow and longer term off-site storage, with options for regular access by arrangement.
Students
Students in and around Beckton can store belongings safely during holidays, placements or gap years. It is far simpler than moving everything back home between terms, and avoids relying on cramped shared accommodation for long-term storage.
What You Can Store with Us
Our secure storage units are designed for general household and light commercial items. Typical items include:
- Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other furniture
- Boxes of clothes, books, toys and personal items
- Kitchen appliances such as fridges, freezers and microwaves (defrosted and dry)
- Office furniture, IT equipment and archive boxes
- Tools, small machinery and trade materials (non-hazardous)
- Sports equipment, bicycles and hobby items
What We Cannot Store
To comply with safety, insurance and legal requirements, some items are excluded from storage. We cannot accept:
- Illegal items of any kind
- Flammable or explosive materials (e.g. petrol, gas bottles, fireworks)
- Chemicals, paints, solvents or hazardous substances
- Perishable food or anything that may attract pests
- Live animals or plants
- Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents that require a safe or specialist storage
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you before you book so you can plan accordingly.
How Our Secure Storage Service Works
We keep the process simple and transparent, whether you are storing items as part of a move or as a standalone service.
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Storage Beckton by phone or through our online form with details of what you need to store, for how long and whether you require collection. We will ask a few straightforward questions and provide a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger volumes, we recommend a short video call or onsite survey. This allows us to estimate the right storage size accurately and confirm access arrangements if we are collecting from your property. A proper survey helps you avoid paying for more space than you require.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our team uses strong cartons, wrapping materials and protective covers for furniture. We label and document items going into storage so they can be located and returned easily. If you are packing yourself, we can supply packaging materials and guidance.
4. Collection, Loading & Transport
Our trained removals team can collect your items from your home or business in Beckton and the surrounding areas. We load carefully, using blankets, furniture covers and securing straps to minimise movement in transit. Vehicles are locked and monitored, and your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance.
5. Secure Storage & Return Delivery
On arrival at our facility, items are unloaded into your allocated storage space. The building is alarmed, monitored and access-controlled. When you are ready for your belongings back, we schedule a convenient delivery date, bring everything to your new address and, if you wish, place items into the correct rooms.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
We base our pricing on the amount of space you need, the duration of storage and whether you require collection and redelivery. Rather than fixed, one-size-fits-all packages, we size units around your actual inventory, which often works out more economical.
Your quote will clearly separate storage charges from any removals and packing services, so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no surprise fees for basic access or standard insurance cover. Longer-term storage and combined move-and-store bookings can often benefit from preferential rates.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY Options
Using a professional storage provider like Storage Beckton offers several advantages over makeshift solutions such as garages, sheds or informal arrangements with friends and family:
- Purpose-built, dry and ventilated storage areas, reducing risk of damp and damage
- Robust security systems and controlled access
- Fully insured cover for your goods while in our care and in transit
- Handling by trained staff, minimising the chance of breakages
- Flexible terms so you can extend or reduce storage time as circumstances change
Compared with a casual man-and-van and a cheap lock-up, you benefit from a coordinated service that runs from packing and collection through to secure storage and final delivery.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. Storage Beckton operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are being transported between your property and our facility
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property during collection and redelivery
- Trained moving teams – staff are experienced in handling, packing and stacking items to professional standards
We maintain clear inventories, robust security protocols and tidy, well-managed storage areas so you can feel confident that your possessions are being looked after properly.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Looking after your belongings also means looking after the environment wherever possible. We:
- Use reusable protective materials such as furniture blankets and durable covers
- Source cardboard boxes from responsible suppliers and recycle where practical
- Optimise vehicle loading and routing to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Encourage re-use of packing materials for long-term customers
During handling, we use appropriate lifting techniques, trolleys and ramps to reduce the risk of damage and to protect both your items and our staff. Every move into storage is planned rather than rushed.
Real-World Secure Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Property chains often do not line up. Our secure storage gives you breathing space when you must move out before you can move in. We collect your goods from your old home, store them safely for the required period and then deliver once you receive your new keys.
Office and Business Relocation
When relocating offices, it is rarely practical to move everything in one day. We can hold surplus furniture, archived files or non-essential equipment while you set up the new space. This keeps walkways clear and helps your team get back to work faster.
Urgent and Short-Notice Situations
Life is not always predictable. If you face an urgent relocation, emergency maintenance or unexpected change of circumstances, we can often arrange rapid collection and storage, subject to availability. Having professional storage on hand can reduce stress and provide a safe temporary solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Beckton cost?
Costs depend on how much space you need, how long you plan to store for and whether you require collection and delivery. Smaller volumes stored for a short period will naturally be cheaper than large household contents stored for several months. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote outlining storage charges separately from any removals or packing services. There are no hidden extras for standard access or basic insurance cover. For longer-term storage or combined move-and-store bookings, we can often offer tailored rates.
Can you offer same-day or urgent secure storage?
Where availability allows, we can arrange same-day or short-notice storage for urgent situations such as last-minute tenancy changes, emergency works or unexpected delays in a property chain. The earlier you contact us, the better chance we have of allocating space and scheduling a collection slot. We will always be honest about what is realistically achievable on the day, and may suggest a phased approach if that suits your circumstances better. All urgent jobs receive the same professional handling and care as planned moves.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your possessions are protected by our goods in transit insurance during collection and delivery, and covered while in our care at the storage facility in line with our terms and conditions. We will explain the level of standard cover included and, if appropriate, discuss whether you require any additional protection for particularly high-value items. Our security measures, careful handling and tidy storage areas are all designed to minimise risk and give you confidence that your items are safe throughout their stay.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our core secure storage service includes an allocated storage space within our monitored facility, basic insurance cover, and controlled access to your items by arrangement. If required, we can add collection from your property, professional packing, provision of packing materials and final redelivery to your new address. We are happy to tailor the service: some customers simply drop items to us themselves, while others prefer a full "pack, move and store" solution. Your written quote will set out exactly what is included so everything is clear from the outset.
How does your service differ from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van will usually transport items from A to B, but may not provide secure, long-term storage or comprehensive insurance cover. At Storage Beckton, you benefit from a coordinated service: trained staff, fully insured handling, purpose-managed storage space and proper documentation of what we store for you. Our facility is monitored and access-controlled, and we follow established procedures for packing, loading and stacking goods. This reduces the risks of damage, loss and disputes, and tends to work out more reliable and often more cost-effective over the full duration of storage.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
If possible, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead, particularly during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer. This gives us time to complete a survey if needed, reserve the right amount of space and schedule any collection slots that suit you. That said, we regularly help customers at shorter notice and will always do our best to accommodate urgent requirements. Even if your dates are not fixed, contacting us early means we can advise on options and provisional arrangements.
