Who Our Secure Storage Is For
Homeowners
Perfect if you are selling, between homes, renovating or decluttering before marketing your property. We can collect, store and then redeliver your furniture and boxes on your preferred dates.
Renters
If your tenancy dates do not quite line up, or you are moving into a furnished property, secure storage gives you breathing space so you are not forced into rushed decisions or short‑notice moves.
Landlords
Store part‑furnished items between tenancies, keep replacement furniture on standby, or hold appliances and fixtures safely while refurbishing your rental properties.
Businesses
Ideal for stock, seasonal items, office furniture, documents and equipment. Our professional teams understand commercial requirements, including confidentiality and careful handling of IT systems.
Students
Keep your belongings safe between terms or gap years without dragging everything home. Share a unit with friends to keep costs down, with flexible short‑term contracts.
What You Can Store with Us
Our secure storage is suitable for most typical household and business items, including:
- Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- Boxes of personal belongings, clothes, books and ornaments
- Electrical items – TVs, computers, small appliances
- Office furniture and archive boxes
- Sports equipment and hobby items
- Tools and non‑hazardous trade equipment
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, the following items are excluded:

- Illegal goods or substances of any kind
- Perishable food or anything that may attract pests
- Live animals or plants

If you are unsure about a specific item, ask us before packing and we will advise.
How Our Secure Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or through our website with an outline of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few simple questions, then provide a clear, no‑obligation quote based on the approximate volume and any collection or delivery requirements.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger loads, we can arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This helps us confirm the right unit size and ensures we quote accurately. It also allows us to plan vehicle access, parking and any special handling needs for heavy or fragile items.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack yourself, or use our professional packing service. Our trained staff use quality materials and careful techniques to protect fragile and valuable items. Furniture can be wrapped, dismantled where necessary, and clearly labelled to make redelivery straightforward.
4. Loading & Transport
On the agreed day, our trained moving team arrive on time with suitable vehicles. We load systematically, using blankets, straps and coverings to prevent damage in transit. Your goods are then transported directly to our secure Cheam facility.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the warehouse, your items are carefully unloaded and placed into your allocated unit, with furniture stacked and boxes arranged to make future access easier. If you prefer to bring items yourself, we will guide you on safe loading and stacking inside your space.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
We aim to keep pricing straightforward and fair. Costs are based on:
- Storage unit size required
- Length of stay (short or long term)
- Whether you need collection, delivery or both
- Any optional services such as packing or special materials
You will receive a clear written quotation with no hidden extras. If your needs change – for example, you require a larger space or an extended stay – we will discuss options and prices with you in advance so you stay in control of your budget.
Why Use Professional Secure Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man‑and‑Van?
Using a professional, established provider like Storage Cheam gives you reassurance that a casual man‑and‑van simply cannot match. Our facility is purpose‑built for storage with proper security, fire systems and trained staff, not a spare garage or lock‑up.
We provide documented insurance cover, clear terms and proper contracts. Our trained teams know how to handle furniture and fragile items safely, helping avoid the damage and disputes that are common with unregulated services. In short, you benefit from accountability, consistency and care throughout.
Insurance and Professional Standards
When we handle transport to and from our facility, your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance, subject to standard terms and declared values. Our work on your premises and at our depot is backed by public liability cover.
All staff are trained in safe lifting techniques, vehicle loading and protection of property. We follow industry best practice for wrapping, stacking and storing items to minimise risk. Full details of our cover and limits are available on request so you know exactly where you stand.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own. That means careful wrapping of delicate pieces, proper mattress and sofa protection, and sensible stacking that avoids overloading boxes or crushing furniture. Units are kept clean and dry, and we monitor conditions to prevent damp or mould.
Where possible, we use reusable crates, durable blankets and recycled packing materials. Cardboard, plastic and metals are recycled through approved local facilities. We also plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions, supporting a more sustainable way to manage storage and removals.
Real‑World Uses for Our Secure Storage in Cheam
Moving House
If your sale and purchase dates do not line up, using secure storage gives you flexibility. We can move you out, store your belongings safely, then deliver everything when your new home is ready.
Office Relocation
Businesses often use storage during phased office moves, refurbishments or when trialling hybrid working. Keep surplus desks, chairs and files off‑site but accessible, without committing to larger office space.
Urgent and Short‑Notice Moves
Life does not always give much warning. When you need to move quickly due to sudden changes, our secure storage provides an immediate, practical solution so you have time to plan your next step properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Cheam cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need, how long you plan to store for, and whether you want us to collect and deliver your items. Smaller units for a few boxes and small furniture naturally cost less than large spaces for full house contents or bulky business stock. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear written quote with storage and any removal services itemised. There are no hidden extras, and we are happy to suggest ways to reduce costs, such as decluttering before storage or choosing a more compact unit.
Can you offer same‑day or urgent secure storage?
Where space allows, we can often arrange same‑day or short‑notice storage in Cheam, especially for smaller loads. If you need collection and transport as well, we will check vehicle and crew availability and do our best to accommodate urgent requests. The more information you can give us at the time of enquiry, the faster we can confirm options. In busy periods, flexibility on timing or splitting the job over two visits can help us secure you space and support you effectively.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
When we provide collection and delivery, your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to our terms and declared values. While in storage, you may be covered under a household or business policy, though you should check with your insurer. We can also arrange or recommend appropriate storage cover if needed. Our facility benefits from strong physical security, CCTV and access controls to reduce risk. We are happy to explain exactly what is covered so you can make an informed decision.
What is included in your secure storage service?
At its simplest, our service includes a clean, dry, secure unit in our Cheam facility, with agreed access arrangements and clear monthly charges. Many customers add collection and delivery using our professional removals teams, along with optional packing, dismantling and furniture wrapping. We provide guidance on what you can and cannot store, how to pack safely, and how to make best use of your space. You choose the level of help you need and we build a package around that, so you only pay for the services you use.
How does professional storage compare with a basic man‑and‑van?
A casual man‑and‑van might move items cheaply on the day, but typically does not offer a secure, monitored storage facility, nor clear insurance and professional standards. With Storage Cheam, you benefit from purpose‑designed storage, trained staff, proper contracts and documented cover. Your items are handled and stacked correctly, not left in an unregulated lock‑up or shed. If something goes wrong, you have a named company, transparent procedures and accountability, which is rarely the case with informal providers.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
For planned moves or renovations, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance to guarantee availability and keep your options open on unit size. That said, we understand that circumstances change quickly, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice when space and schedules permit. If you contact us early, we can provisionally reserve space and adjust if your plans shift. Early discussion also helps us suggest the most efficient approach for your particular situation, potentially saving you both time and money.
