Local Secure Storage Expertise in Peckham
Being based in Peckham means we know the area, the properties and the practical challenges our customers face. From compact flats and shared houses to busy high street shops and studio offices, we understand the lack of space that often comes with city living.
We regularly support customers from Peckham, Nunhead, Camberwell, Dulwich and the surrounding parts of south-east London. Our local drivers and professional teams are used to tight streets, controlled parking zones and third-floor walk-ups, so we plan your storage move with these details in mind.
Who Our Secure Storage Is For
Homeowners
Perfect if you are moving home, renovating or selling and need to keep your belongings out of the way but fully protected. We can collect your items, store them securely and deliver them back when your project or move is complete.
Renters
If you are between tenancies, moving into a smaller place or sharing and need extra space, our storage is a flexible alternative to throwing things away or overloading a new property.
Landlords
Landlords use our facility to store furniture between lets, keep spare items safe, or clear a property quickly after a tenancy. We can work to tight deadlines and offer short notice collections.
Businesses
From online retailers and trades to offices and creatives, businesses use our secure storage for stock, equipment, office furniture, event materials and archived documents. It is often more cost-effective than taking on larger premises.
Students
Students in Peckham and nearby universities use us to store belongings over the summer or study breaks. It saves hauling everything home and back again each term.
What You Can Store with Us
Our facility is suitable for most everyday household and business items, including:
- Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
- Boxes of clothing, books, personal belongings and memorabilia
- Home appliances and small electricals
- Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment
- Business stock and materials (non-perishable and non-hazardous)
- Bikes, sports equipment and hobby items
Items We Cannot Store
To keep all units safe, clean and compliant, we have some exclusions. We cannot accept:
- Perishable or refrigerated goods
- Flammable, corrosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles and fuel)
- Illegal goods, stolen items or anything obtained unlawfully
- Firearms, explosives or weapons
- Live plants, animals or any living creatures
- Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents (such as wills and deeds)
If you are unsure whether a particular item can be stored, we are happy to advise before you book.
How Our Secure Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We will advise on unit sizes, access requirements and any removals or packing support you might need. You will receive a clear, no-obligation quote.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger storage moves, we recommend a brief survey. This can be carried out virtually using photos or video, or we can visit in person if required. The survey helps us confirm the right unit size, plan vehicle access and estimate any professional packing time.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or we can provide trained packers, boxes and packing materials. Our team uses high-quality materials and proven methods to protect furniture, fragile items and valuables before they go into storage.
4. Loading & Transport
On the agreed day, our removals team will arrive, carefully load your items and transport them directly to our secure facility in Peckham. Furniture and large items are wrapped and protected for the journey.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
On arrival, we unload your items into your allocated unit, stacking safely and logically so that you can access what you need. When you are ready to have items returned, we can either prepare them for your collection or deliver them back to your address.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our charges are typically made up of:
- A weekly or monthly fee for your storage unit size
- Optional collection and delivery costs (if using our removals teams)
- Optional packing materials and professional packing service
Rates vary depending on unit size and duration. Longer-term customers can often benefit from reduced rates. We will always explain your options clearly so you can choose the most cost-effective arrangement.
Why Use Professional Secure Storage Instead of a DIY Option?
While it may be tempting to use a garage, spare room or a casual man-and-van plus a makeshift lock-up, there are significant advantages to choosing a professional storage provider:
- Purpose-built, dry units reduce risk of damp, mould and damage
- Modern security and monitoring for added protection
- Optional trained teams to pack, lift and load safely
- Structured contracts and clear terms, rather than informal arrangements
- Insurance-backed protection that many ad-hoc options simply do not provide
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to recognised standards to protect your belongings and your peace of mind:
- Goods in transit insurance for items we collect and deliver to storage
- Public liability cover for work carried out on your premises
- Trained, vetted staff experienced in handling and protecting belongings
- Clear paperwork, contracts and invoicing for business and household customers
We will explain the level of cover provided as standard and let you know if additional insurance is recommended for particularly high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Looking after your belongings begins long before they are placed in a storage unit. Our teams use protective covers, blankets and wraps to minimise the risk of scuffs or knocks in transit. We encourage careful labelling and sensible packing so that boxes can be stacked safely.
Where possible we use reusable crates, blankets and durable materials to reduce waste. Cardboard and plastics are recycled responsibly, and our vehicles are routed efficiently to keep fuel use and emissions lower.
Real-World Ways Customers Use Our Secure Storage
Moving House
When completion dates do not line up, our storage provides a safe bridge between properties. We can collect from your old home, store your belongings securely, and deliver them to your new address when you get the keys.
Office and Business Relocation
Businesses use our facility when staging an office move, refurbishing premises or waiting for new fit-out work to complete. We can store desks, chairs, IT equipment and archives until you are ready to move back in.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
If a tenancy ends unexpectedly or a property sale moves quickly, we can often arrange short-notice storage and collection, subject to availability. Our professional teams are used to working to tight timescales while keeping your items protected.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Peckham cost?
Costs depend on how much space you need and how long you need it for. Smaller units are ideal for a few boxes or student belongings, while larger units suit full house contents or business stock. We charge a clear weekly or monthly rate, with optional fees if you want us to collect, pack or deliver your items. There are no hidden extras, and we will always help you choose the most efficient unit size so you are not paying for unused space.
Can you offer same-day or urgent secure storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day storage, especially for smaller loads. If you need our removals team as well, we will check vehicle and staff availability and give you honest timeframes. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer, but we understand that emergencies and last-minute changes happen, and we do our best to accommodate them safely and professionally.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are covered by our facility’s standard insurance for defined risks, and anything we transport is protected by goods in transit insurance. However, cover levels have limits, particularly for high-value or specialist items. We will explain exactly what is included when you book and can advise if top-up cover through your own insurer is sensible. We combine secure premises, good handling practices and clear insurance so that risk is kept as low as reasonably possible.
What is included in your secure storage service?
As standard, you get a clean, dry, individual unit in our Peckham facility, access during agreed hours, and the peace of mind that comes with a monitored, fully insured environment. You can bring items to us yourself, or add optional services such as collection, professional packing, furniture disassembly and redelivery when you are ready. We provide advice on packing, unit size selection and how to make the best use of your storage space.
How is professional storage different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van usually offers simple transport only, with limited protection, minimal paperwork and often no dedicated storage facility. In contrast, we combine secure, purpose-built units with trained staff, formal insurance, careful handling and clear processes. Items are stored in a monitored environment rather than an unregulated lock-up or garage. For anything more than very short-term or low-value belongings, professional storage is typically safer, more reliable and easier to manage.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
For planned moves or renovations, booking one to four weeks ahead usually gives the best choice of unit sizes and collection slots. That said, we regularly help customers at shorter notice when dates move unexpectedly. If you have a fixed completion or tenancy end date, it is wise to reserve space as soon as possible. We can adjust details such as unit size or collection time closer to the day if your circumstances change.
