Types of Storage We Offer
- Household storage – furniture, boxes, seasonal items and personal effects.

- Student storage – term-time clear-outs, summer storage, gap year storage.
- Short-term storage – between moves, during decorating or renovations.

We can combine storage with our removals service, collecting your items from your home or office in Enfield, placing them into secure storage, and delivering them back when you are ready.
Local Expertise in Enfield
As an established local company, we understand the specific challenges of moving and storing in Enfield – from parking restrictions and tight access in residential streets to timing deliveries around busy commuter routes. Our crews handle collections and returns across Enfield, Palmers Green, Southgate, Edmonton and the wider North London area every day.
This local knowledge means we can often suggest cost-effective storage timings, advise on suitable unit sizes, and plan removals and deliveries that minimise disruption to you and your neighbours.
Who Our Secure Storage Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are selling, decluttering for viewings, renovating, or moving in stages. We can store excess furniture, white goods, garden items, and boxes until your new property is ready.
Renters
Perfect for short-term lets, moving between rentals or house shares, or if your new place is smaller. Keep anything you cannot fit at home safely stored without giving it up.
Landlords
Use our storage for part-furnished properties, spare furniture, appliances between tenancies, or to hold items during refurbishment works. We can also assist with moving items between properties.
Businesses
Our business storage suits stock overflow, archived files, trade equipment, display stands, and spare furniture. We work with retailers, trades, professional services and charities across Enfield.
Students
Students at local universities and colleges can store belongings over the summer, during placements or gap years. We offer compact, cost-effective spaces and can collect directly from your accommodation.

How Our Secure Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with details of what you need to store, where you are in Enfield and how long you expect to need storage. We will recommend a suitable unit size and transport option and provide a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves or business storage, we often carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This lets us confirm access, parking, the volume of goods and any special handling requirements. It ensures we send the right size vehicle, sufficient crew and suitable packing materials.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our trained team will wrap fragile pieces, protect furniture with covers, and label boxes for easy retrieval. We use quality materials and can supply boxes, tape and wrapping if you prefer to pack yourself.
4. Loading & Transport to Store
On collection day, our trained removals team arrives on time, loads your belongings carefully and transports them directly to our secure storage facility. Furniture is protected with blankets, and delicate items are secured separately. We create a basic inventory so we know exactly what is in store for you.
5. Unloading, Storage & Return
At the facility, we unload, stack and secure your items efficiently to maximise your space. When you are ready, we schedule a convenient delivery back to your Enfield address or a new location. We then unload and place items in the rooms you specify, helping you get set up quickly.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
We believe in clear and fair pricing. Your storage cost typically includes:
- Unit size and duration (weekly or monthly rate)
- Collection and delivery charges (if using our vehicles)
- Optional packing materials and packing service
There are no hidden access fees for standard use and no compulsory long-term contracts. We explain precisely what is included in your quotation before you book. For businesses or long-term storage, we can discuss custom rates and invoicing arrangements.
Why Choose Professional Storage & Removals Over DIY
Using a professional removals and storage company in Enfield offers several advantages over DIY or a casual man-and-van service:
- We are fully insured with appropriate Goods in Transit and Public Liability cover.
- Our teams are trained in safe lifting, packing and stacking for storage.
- We plan around access, parking and timings, reducing stress and delays.
- Professional wrapping and protection reduces the risk of damage during handling and storage.
- You deal with one accountable company for collection, storage and redelivery.
While a basic man-and-van may look cheaper initially, damage, poor packing or lack of insurance can quickly make it a false economy.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Our secure storage and removals services include:
- Goods in transit insurance while your items are being collected or returned.
- Public liability cover for work carried out at your property or business premises.
- Trained, uniformed staff who follow best-practice handling methods.
- Clearly documented terms and conditions, including limits and options to increase cover if required.
We can talk you through what is covered and suggest whether you should notify your home or business insurer about stored goods.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We focus on protecting both your belongings and the environment. Our crews use furniture blankets, mattress and sofa covers, and sturdy cartons to keep items clean and secure. We stack carefully to avoid crushing and ensure heavy items are placed safely at the bottom.
Where possible, we reuse high-quality packing materials, recycle cardboard and minimise unnecessary journeys by combining collections and deliveries in Enfield. We maintain our vehicles regularly to reduce emissions and avoid breakdowns that could delay your move or access.
Real-World Uses for Our Secure Storage in Enfield
Moving House
If your sale and purchase dates do not align, our storage gives you breathing space. We can move everything out of your old home, hold it safely, and then deliver once your new keys are in hand.
Office Relocation
Businesses often use storage to phase an office move, hold surplus furniture, or keep archived documents offsite but accessible. We can coordinate with your IT and facilities teams to minimise downtime.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
When you have to move quickly – end of tenancy, sudden sale or emergency repairs – our secure storage can absorb the pressure. We will do our best to provide rapid collection from your Enfield address and find you immediate space.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Enfield cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need, how long you store for, and whether you require collection and delivery. Smaller units for a few boxes or student belongings are naturally cheaper than larger spaces for full house contents. We price weekly or monthly, with discounts sometimes available for longer stays. Once we know roughly what you have and where you are based in Enfield, we will provide a clear quotation showing storage, transport and any optional packing so you can see the full cost upfront.
Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?
Where we have availability, we will always try to help with same-day or urgent storage in Enfield. This is particularly common at the end of tenancies or when a sale completes quickly. If you call us early in the day with an outline of what needs storing, we can confirm whether a vehicle and unit are available and offer realistic time slots. While we cannot guarantee same-day space in every situation, our local presence and flexible scheduling mean we can usually find a practical solution at short notice.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are covered by our standard Goods in Transit insurance while being collected and delivered, and our Public Liability cover protects against damage to third-party property during our work. For time in storage, many customers are covered under their existing home or business insurance, but policies vary. We will explain our own cover limits and can provide documentation for your insurer if needed. If you require higher-value cover, we can often arrange this at an additional cost or advise you on the best route for extended protection.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our core service includes a clean, secure storage unit, monitored access, and basic handling at the facility. Most customers also choose our removals service to collect from and deliver back to their Enfield address, which includes loading, transport and unloading. Optional extras include professional packing, supply of boxes and materials, and enhanced insurance where required. We will clearly state what is and is not included in your quote so there is no confusion – you only pay for the services you actually need.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with no formal storage facility, limited or no insurance, and variable experience. By contrast, we provide integrated secure storage and removals, with trained staff, fully insured vehicles, documented procedures and a permanent local base in Enfield. We create inventories, use protective materials, and are accountable for your belongings from collection to return. For long-term storage or valuable items, that structure and professionalism significantly reduce risk and give you clearer recourse if something goes wrong.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For planned moves, we recommend booking your secure storage one to two weeks in advance, especially at busy times such as month-end or during the summer. This ensures your preferred dates and unit size are available and gives us time to arrange surveys, packing and access checks. However, we do hold some capacity for short-notice needs in Enfield, so it is always worth calling even if your timescale is tight. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of price, timing and unit choice.
