Local Secure Storage Expertise in Wimbledon
As a locally based removals and storage company, we understand the pressures of living and working in Wimbledon – limited space, controlled parking zones and busy streets. Our crews are trained to manage collections and deliveries around local parking rules, building access, lifts and stairwells, helping you store your belongings with minimal disruption.
We work with homeowners in Southfields and Raynes Park, renters in Wimbledon town and the Village, small businesses across SW19 and SW20, and students at local and London universities needing short or long-term storage.
Who Our Secure Storage Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are between properties, decluttering for a sale, renovating or simply needing extra space. We can collect from your home, pack if required, and place everything into a clearly labelled unit so it is easy to retrieve when you are ready.
Renters
If your tenancy dates do not line up, or you are moving into a furnished property, secure storage lets you keep your possessions safe without rushing decisions. Flexible terms mean you only pay for the space and time you actually need.
Landlords
We regularly support landlords who need to store furniture during refurbishments, void periods or when changing from furnished to unfurnished lettings. Our professional teams can clear, store and then redeliver to suit your project schedule.
Businesses
From sole traders to established local firms, secure storage is a cost-effective way to manage excess stock, seasonal items, exhibition materials and archives without taking on larger premises. We can also combine storage with office removals for seamless relocations.
Students
Students benefit from small, affordable storage options during the summer, placements or a year abroad. Instead of moving everything home and back again, leave your belongings safely stored in Wimbledon ready for your return.
How Our Secure Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with a rough list of what you need to store and for how long. We will recommend an appropriate storage size and transport option, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and redelivery if needed.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves, complex access or business storage, we may arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to check access, parking and item volumes so we can allocate the right number of staff, vehicle size and materials. There is no charge for this survey.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes or choose our professional packing service. When we pack, we use quality materials, clearly label boxes and prepare an inventory. Furniture is wrapped in protective covers and mattresses in bags to keep everything clean and protected while in storage.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained removals team will carefully load your items onto our vehicles, using blankets, straps and protective materials. We work methodically to avoid damage and ensure a clear inventory is followed. Your belongings are then transported directly to our secure storage facility in Wimbledon or the surrounding area.
5. Unloading, Storage & Placement
On arrival at the store, items are unloaded into your allocated storage space. We stack sensibly, ensuring fragile items are protected and that frequently needed boxes are accessible. When you are ready for your items back, we arrange redelivery, unloading and placement back into your home or office.
Security, Insurance and Professional Standards
All stored items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved, and we maintain public liability cover for work carried out in your property. Our storage facility features modern security measures, including monitored access, CCTV and robust locking systems.
Every member of our team is trained in safe handling techniques, wrapping, stacking and inventory control. We follow industry best practice to keep your belongings protected throughout their time with us.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We believe that secure storage should care for both your possessions and the environment. We use durable, reusable protective materials wherever possible and avoid unnecessary waste. When we do use cardboard and plastic, we source quality materials that can be recycled responsibly.
We also plan our collections and deliveries carefully to minimise mileage and fuel usage, often combining nearby jobs to reduce our carbon footprint while maintaining a reliable timetable for customers.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
Our pricing is straightforward and fully explained in advance. Costs are based on:
- The size of storage space required
- The length of time you need storage
- Whether you require collection and redelivery
- Any additional services such as packing or specialist handling
We will always outline your options clearly, including any discounts for longer-term storage. There are no hidden extras – you will know exactly what is included in your monthly or weekly rate and any one-off charges for transport.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Using a casual man-and-van or trying to store items yourself in a garage or shed may appear cheaper, but it carries risks. Unregulated storage can mean damp, pests, poor security and no insurance. With Storage Wimbledon you benefit from a professional, purpose-designed facility, clear documentation and accountable service.
Our fully insured crews know how to lift, wrap and stack correctly, reducing the chance of damage. In the long run, properly managed secure storage often saves money by preventing breakages, loss and the need to replace treasured items or vital business equipment.
Real-World Uses for Secure Storage in Wimbledon
Moving House
Chains do not always line up. We regularly help homeowners and renters who must move out before their new property is ready. We collect, store and then redeliver the moment you get your keys, helping you manage the gap without stress.
Office Relocations
Businesses often need short-term storage during refurbishments or phased office moves. We can hold furniture, files and IT equipment safely until each phase of your project is ready, integrating storage with your wider relocation plan.
Urgent or Same-Day Moves into Storage
Sometimes circumstances change quickly – a last-minute completion date, an unexpected tenancy issue or urgent building works. Subject to availability, we can arrange same-day or next-day collection into storage, providing a rapid but controlled solution when time is tight.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Wimbledon cost?
Costs depend on the size of unit you require, the length of stay and whether you need us to collect and redeliver your items. Smaller units for students or decluttering can be very affordable, while full household storage naturally costs more. Once we know what you plan to store, we will recommend an appropriate size and provide a clear quote with no hidden extras. Longer-term storage can attract reduced rates, and we are always happy to explain different options to fit your budget.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where availability allows, we can arrange same-day or next-day collection into storage for urgent situations, such as unexpected completion dates or short-notice tenancy changes. The more detail you can give us when you call, the easier it is for us to allocate vehicles, staff and unit space quickly. While we cannot guarantee same-day every time, we will always be honest about what is possible and do our best to find a practical solution that protects your belongings.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance during collection and delivery, and we maintain comprehensive public liability cover for work at your property. For the storage period itself, we can arrange cover based on the value you declare, or you may choose to cover items through your own policy. We will explain the options clearly so you understand exactly what is insured, any limits or exclusions, and how to document your belongings for peace of mind.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our service can be as simple or as comprehensive as you need. At its core, you receive a clean, dry, secure storage space with monitored access and clear terms. Most customers also choose our collection and redelivery using trained removals staff, plus protective wrapping for furniture and appliances. We can add packing, inventory lists and dismantling or reassembly of furniture if required. During your quote, we will specify exactly what is included so there is no ambiguity.
How is professional storage different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically focuses only on transport, with limited protection, documentation or insurance. By contrast, we provide an integrated removals and storage service: professional handling, secure monitored premises, inventories and appropriate insurance cover. Our crews are trained in lifting techniques, stacking and protection, which reduces the risk of damage. You also have a single accountable company responsible for your belongings from door to store and back again, rather than piecing together separate services.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
If possible, we recommend contacting us at least one to two weeks before you need storage, particularly in busy months such as summer and around university term dates. This gives us the best chance of offering your ideal move date and storage size. However, we understand that plans can change suddenly, and we regularly accommodate short-notice bookings. Even if you are unsure of exact dates, an early conversation allows us to advise, pencil in provisional arrangements and help you plan with confidence.
