Our secure storage service is designed for anyone who needs a clean, dry, fully insured place to keep items short or long term. Whether you are between properties, downsizing, renovating, or freeing up office space, we collect your goods, store them safely and return them when you are ready.

Who Our Secure Storage Is For
Homeowners
If you are moving house, renovating, or decluttering for a sale, our secure storage gives you space and peace of mind. We can collect furniture, white goods, boxes, garden items and more, then redeliver once your new home is ready.
Renters
Between tenancies or moving into a furnished property? We regularly help renters store personal belongings and furniture for weeks or months, avoiding the need to rush decisions or part with items you still value.
Landlords
Landlords use our secure storage to hold furniture during refurbishments, keep appliances and fixtures safe between lets, or manage seasonal and spare items away from the property.
Businesses
From files and marketing materials to stock and office furniture, businesses in Frognal rely on our storage to free up valuable workspace. We offer flexible capacity for growing companies, with professional collection and redelivery when required.
Students
Students often need short-term storage between terms or when going abroad. We provide affordable, secure options for personal belongings, books, clothes, small furniture and tech, so you do not have to take everything home each time.

Our Secure Storage Process: Step by Step
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact Storage Frognal by phone or online with a brief description of what you need to store and for how long. We ask a few straightforward questions to understand volume, access and any special requirements, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger jobs, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey in Frognal and nearby areas. This allows us to assess access, parking and the exact volume to be stored. A proper survey means accurate pricing, the right sized vehicle and sufficient trained staff on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, our professional team arrives with protective materials. We can offer full or part packing services, including wrapping furniture, covering mattresses and boxing smaller items. Each item or box can be labelled for easy identification and inventory in storage.
4. Loading & Transport
Your goods are carefully loaded onto our removal vehicle, protected with blankets, straps and covers. Everything is stacked to avoid movement and damage during transit. We then transport your items directly to our secure storage facility.
5. Unloading & Secure Placement
At the facility, items are unloaded and placed into your allocated storage space. We stack for stability, airflow and accessibility, keeping an itemised record so we can find and return specific pieces if required. When you need your belongings back, we simply reverse the process and deliver to your chosen address.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
Our pricing is straightforward and explained in full before you commit. Costs typically include:
- Collection and transport from your property
- Optional packing and materials (boxes, wrapping, tape)
- Secure storage charged by volume and duration
- Redelivery to your chosen address
We tailor quotes to your actual needs rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all unit. There are no hidden charges; any potential additional costs, such as difficult access or long carries, are made clear from the outset.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY Options
Using a professional removals and storage company is very different from hiring a casual man-and-van or trying to store items in a friend’s garage. With Storage Frognal you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to lift, wrap and stack safely
- Fully insured cover for goods in our care
- Proper inventory and labelling systems
- Secure, monitored storage facilities
- Reliable booking, punctuality and clear communication
DIY storage can lead to damage, damp, lost items and disputes if something goes wrong. A professional service provides structure, accountability and significantly reduces risk.
Insurance & Professional Standards
As an established removals and storage company, we operate to recognised professional standards in handling, transport and storage.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your possessions while being moved between your property and our facility.
- Public liability cover – protects you and your property while our team is working on-site.
- Trained moving teams – staff are experienced in safe lifting, packing and load securing, reducing the risk of damage or injury.
Policy details and limits are available on request so you can be completely comfortable with the protection in place.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped, fragile items are packed carefully, and loads are secured to avoid shifting. Our storage areas are kept clean, dry and well ventilated to prevent damp and dust build-up.
Where possible, we use durable, reusable protective materials and responsibly sourced cartons. We plan routes efficiently and consolidate journeys where appropriate to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions, while still maintaining punctual service for our clients.
Real-World Uses of Our Secure Storage in Frognal
Moving House
Many customers use our secure storage as part of a staged house move. If completion dates do not align or you are downsizing, we can hold part or all of your belongings until your new property is ready, then deliver directly.
Office Relocation or Refurbishment
Businesses undergoing refits or relocations use storage to keep desks, chairs, IT equipment and stock safe and out of the way. This keeps your site clear for contractors and prevents accidental damage to valuable assets.
Urgent or Short-Notice Situations
Life does not always run to plan. We regularly help clients who need storage at short notice due to a sale completing unexpectedly, relationship changes or last-minute tenancy issues. Our flexible approach means we do what we reasonably can to accommodate urgent requests.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage cost?
Costs depend on how much you store, how long for, and whether you need collection, packing and redelivery. We usually price by the volume of goods plus a weekly or monthly storage rate, with separate charges for transport and optional packing. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quotation detailing all expected costs. There are no hidden extras; any possible additional charges, such as long carries or difficult access, are highlighted in advance so you can budget confidently.
Can you offer same-day or urgent secure storage?
Where our schedule and space allow, we do our best to accommodate same-day or urgent storage needs in Frognal and nearby areas. If you call early in the day with a clear description of what needs storing and your timings, we can quickly confirm vehicle and staff availability. While we cannot guarantee last-minute slots every day, we are used to dealing with short-notice moves and will always be honest about what is realistically achievable.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance while items are being moved, and cover while they are held in our facility, subject to policy terms and value limits. We will explain the level of standard cover included in your quote and, if necessary, discuss options for specifying higher value items. Our aim is to ensure you understand exactly how your belongings are protected, and what information we need from you to keep that cover valid.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our core service includes professional collection from your property, careful loading, transport to our secure facility and safe storage in a clean, dry environment. You can add packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and scheduled or one-off redelivery. We also offer help with inventories and labelling so you can track what is in storage. Your quote will clearly list what is included and any optional extras you choose.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without proper insurance, inventories or secure storage facilities. By contrast, we provide a structured, professional service: trained teams, wrapping and protection of goods, public liability and goods in transit cover, monitored storage, and clear paperwork. If something unexpected happens, there are established procedures and insurance in place. This significantly reduces risk compared with informal arrangements and gives you proper accountability.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
For the best choice of dates and to allow time for a survey, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy moving periods such as the end of the month or summer. However, we understand that plans can change quickly and will always try to help with shorter notice where diary and space allow. The sooner you get in touch with your approximate dates and requirements, the more options we can offer.
