Local Expertise in Coombe
Being based in Coombe means we know the local roads, parking rules and property types inside out. From period terraces with tight staircases to new-build flats with lift restrictions, we’re used to planning collections and deliveries around local access issues.
We routinely work with Coombe estate agents, landlords and local businesses, so we understand typical timescales for completions, tenancy changes and refurbishments. That allows us to offer practical storage start and end dates that match real-life moving plans, not theoretical ones.
Who Our Secure Storage Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you’re selling, downsizing or renovating. Store surplus furniture, seasonal items and personal belongings while you stage your home for viewings or wait for your completion date. We can collect directly from your property, store safely, then redeliver to your new address.
Renters
If your tenancy dates don’t quite line up, or you’re relocating for work, our secure storage in Coombe bridges the gap. Keep your belongings safe between properties instead of moving them multiple times or leaving them in a friend’s garage.
Landlords
Use storage for furniture during refurbishments, change of use or between tenancies. We frequently help landlords clear properties quickly, store furniture and then return it once works are completed or new tenants move in.
Businesses
Ideal for excess stock, archived documents, exhibition equipment, spare office furniture or seasonal items. Our professional team can handle collections from offices, shops and commercial units with minimum disruption to your day-to-day operations.
Students
Students in Coombe and nearby benefit from secure storage during holidays, placement years or moving between halls and private rentals. Share a unit with course mates to keep costs down, and we can arrange collection and redelivery at term dates.

Our Secure Storage Process
We keep the process straightforward while maintaining high standards of care and security.
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with an outline of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask a few questions to estimate the volume, access requirements and whether you need a collection service. Then we provide a clear quotation, explaining storage fees, any transport costs and optional packing services.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For whole-house or large business storage, we may carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This helps us confirm the unit size you need, assess access at your property and plan the right vehicle and team. Accurate surveying avoids you paying for more space than necessary, or finding you’ve underestimated on moving day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack items yourself, or we can provide professional packing. Our trained teams use quality materials, including strong cartons, bubble wrap, packing paper and furniture covers. Fragile items are wrapped individually and boxes are clearly labelled, making retrieval and redelivery more efficient. We can also dismantle and protect larger items such as wardrobes and beds.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day we arrive at the agreed time, protect floors and doorways where needed, and carefully load your belongings onto our vehicles. While in our care, your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to terms. We secure loads to prevent movement and transport them directly to our Coombe storage facility.
5. Unloading & Storage Placement
At the facility, your items are unloaded into your designated storage space. Furniture is positioned to minimise pressure points, and boxes are stacked safely for stability and easy access. The unit is then locked and monitored within our secure site. When you’re ready, we arrange redelivery or access according to your chosen plan.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Storage charges are typically based on:
- The size of the unit or space required
- The duration of storage (short-term or long-term)
- Whether you require collection/delivery and packing services
We’ll always provide a written estimate outlining weekly or monthly storage fees, plus one-off removal or packing costs where applicable. There are no hidden administration or ‘surprise’ access charges. For longer-term customers we can discuss cost-effective arrangements, and we’re happy to explain how to optimise your unit size so you only pay for space you genuinely need.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY
Using a professional storage provider in Coombe offers significant advantages over self-storage runs in a borrowed van or stacked boxes in a loft or garage:
- Safety and protection: Proper lifting, loading and stacking reduce the risk of damage and personal injury.
- Suitable environment: Clean, dry units are far better than damp sheds or overfilled lofts.
- Time saving: Our team can pack, load and transport in a fraction of the time.
- Insurance and accountability: Your goods are covered during our transport, with clear processes if something goes wrong.
- Security: Controlled access and monitored premises outperform ad-hoc storage in outbuildings.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Storage Coombe operates to recognised industry standards to give you peace of mind:
- Goods in transit insurance covers your belongings while being moved by our vehicles, subject to policy terms and declared values.
- Public liability cover protects you and your property during collections and deliveries.
- Trained moving teams follow best practice for lifting, packing, and loading to minimise risk and damage.
We are upfront about what is and isn’t covered, and we’ll happily explain options for higher-value items so you can decide what level of protection suits you best.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your possessions as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are protected, and fragile items are cushioned carefully. We use reusable transit blankets and sturdy, recyclable cartons wherever possible to reduce waste. Where materials are single-use, we choose options that are easier to recycle and encourage customers to re-use or return boxes where practical.
Route planning helps minimise unnecessary mileage, reducing our environmental impact while keeping your costs under control. Equipment is maintained regularly to ensure safe operation and prevent issues during transport.
Real-World Use Cases for Secure Storage in Coombe
Moving House
When completion dates don’t align, secure storage keeps your belongings safe between properties. We can move everything into storage on removal day, then deliver to your new home once keys are released, avoiding panic and multiple small moves.
Office Relocation
Businesses often use our Coombe facility to store furniture and equipment while new premises are being fitted out. We can phase deliveries so core items arrive first, with non-critical equipment following once you’re settled.
Urgent Moves or Emergencies
Sometimes circumstances change quickly – a sudden sale, urgent repairs, or a relationship breakdown. We can often arrange storage at short notice, providing a calm, ordered solution at a stressful time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Coombe cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need, how long you’ll be storing for, and whether you’d like us to collect and deliver your items. Smaller student or decluttering units are typically much cheaper than full household or business spaces. We’ll ask a few questions about the volume of goods, then provide a clear written quote outlining weekly or monthly charges, plus any one-off removal or packing fees. There are no hidden administration costs, and we’ll help you choose the right size so you’re not paying for unused space.
Can you provide same-day or urgent secure storage?
Where possible, yes. If you need urgent storage in Coombe due to a last-minute completion date, landlord request or emergency, contact us as early in the day as you can. Availability depends on current unit occupancy and vehicle schedules, but we’ll always do what we reasonably can to help. In some cases we can provide temporary storage space initially, then move your items into a more suitably sized unit once things are less time-pressured and we’ve reviewed your longer-term needs together.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
While we transport your goods to or from our Coombe facility, they are covered under our goods in transit insurance, subject to policy conditions and declared values. Storage itself is very secure, with monitored premises and controlled access, but insurance arrangements can vary depending on what you’re storing and its value. We’ll explain the options at quotation stage, including any limits and exclusions, so you can decide whether to arrange additional cover through your own insurer or via any recommended partners.
What’s included in your secure storage service?
As standard, you receive a clean, dry, individual storage space in our Coombe facility, with monitored security and controlled access arrangements. We can also provide collection and delivery using our professional removals team, along with optional packing, dismantling and reassembly. During transport, items are covered by our goods in transit policy. Our team will advise on suitable packing materials, unit sizing and how to prepare items for storage. We’ll agree access arrangements in advance, so you know exactly how and when you can reach your belongings if needed.
How is this different from using a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may move items from A to B, but rarely offers the same level of security, cover or facility standards. With Storage Coombe you benefit from trained staff, controlled and monitored storage premises, documented procedures and clear insurance arrangements for transit. Units are purpose-designed for safe, long-term storage, not improvised garages or sheds. We also provide proper packing advice, materials and handling techniques, significantly reducing the risk of damage, loss or disputes should something go wrong.
How far in advance do I need to book secure storage?
For planned moves, we recommend booking as soon as you have likely dates, especially during busy periods such as the summer or month-end. This helps us guarantee the right unit size and schedule collection and packing at convenient times. However, we know property chains and tenancy dates can shift, so we keep our approach flexible where possible. If your plans change, contact us promptly and we’ll do our best to adjust your booking, move dates or unit size to suit your new circumstances.
