We know Canning Town and the surrounding East London areas inside out. From new build apartments to warehouse conversions and busy commercial premises, we understand the access issues, parking challenges and time pressures that often come with the area.

- Offer realistic collection times that fit around your schedule
- Handle council parking suspensions and loading restrictions

All work is carried out by our own trained, professional team rather than sub-contractors, so you know exactly who is handling your belongings.
Who Our Secure Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are moving house, renovating, or simply decluttering before putting your property on the market, our secure storage gives you a safe place for furniture, boxes and seasonal items. We can collect directly from your home and return everything when you are ready.
Renters
Tenancy changeovers in Canning Town can be tight. If you have a gap between rentals or are downsizing, we provide short-term secure storage so you do not have to rush decisions or part with items you care about.
Landlords
Landlords often need a reliable place to keep furniture, white goods and fixtures while preparing or refurbishing properties. We can clear a flat quickly, store items safely and deliver back once work is complete.
Businesses
Local businesses use our secure storage for archived files, surplus stock, office furniture and equipment. We offer flexible space, professional handling and reliable access so your operations are not disrupted.
Students
Students in Canning Town and nearby campuses benefit from affordable, short-term storage during holidays or work placements. We can collect from halls or shared houses and store your belongings until next term.

How Our Secure Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few questions about access, volume and any special items, then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation tailored to your needs.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves or full households, we recommend a short survey. This can be done via video call or a visit to your Canning Town property. It allows us to assess the size of unit required, packing needs and vehicle access so there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or choose our professional packing service. We use sturdy cartons, export wrap, mattress covers and furniture blankets to protect everything. All boxes are labelled clearly to simplify retrieval later.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained moving team will carefully load your items, using protective covers, straps and correct lifting techniques. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while they travel from your property to our Canning Town storage facility.
5. Unloading & Secure Placement
At the facility, we unload into your allocated unit, stacking logically and safely to maximise space. Units are locked, monitored by CCTV and protected by alarms and controlled access. When you are ready for your items back, we reverse the process and deliver directly to your new address.
Transparent Pricing – How We Charge
We believe pricing should be straightforward. The cost of secure storage with us typically includes:
- Collection and delivery by our removals crew (where required)
- Storage unit rental, based on size and duration
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Insurance cover during transport (with options to extend cover)
Rates depend on the volume you store, access requirements and length of contract. Longer-term bookings usually attract better monthly rates. We will always explain the options clearly and confirm everything in writing before you commit.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY or Man-and-Van?
Using a casual man-and-van and a basic unit can seem cheaper, but often leads to hidden costs and risk. As a professional removals and storage company, we provide:
- Trained, professional staff who handle your items correctly
- Fully insured transport and appropriate liability cover
- Purpose-built storage with proper security and environmental controls
- Correct packing, lifting and stacking to minimise damage
- Clear paperwork and agreed terms, not cash-in-hand arrangements
For most people, the value of what's being stored far exceeds the small saving from a budget approach. Professional storage significantly reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to recognised industry standards, with an emphasis on safety, protection and accountability.
- Goods in transit insurance while our vehicles carry your belongings
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Option to arrange extended cover for higher-value consignments
- Trained moving teams with experience in handling fragile and bulky items
We carry out regular staff training on manual handling, packing techniques and customer care, and we maintain our vehicles and equipment to a high standard.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. That means protective wrapping, careful stacking and attention to detail at every stage. Mattresses, sofas and polished furniture are covered; boxes are stacked so they are stable and accessible; fragile items are clearly marked and given additional protection.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Where possible we:
- Use reusable furniture blankets, crates and protection
- Source recyclable packing materials
- Consolidate trips and plan efficient routes around Canning Town
- Encourage customers to reuse or return cartons where practical
Real-World Ways Customers Use Our Secure Storage
Moving House
Chains do not always line up. If you complete on your sale before your purchase is ready, we can pack and remove your household contents into storage, then deliver to your new home once you have the keys, keeping everything secure in the meantime.
Office Relocation or Refurbishment
Businesses use our storage to hold furniture, IT equipment and files while offices are being refurbished or relocated. This keeps the work space clear, protects assets from dust and damage, and allows for a phased move-in.
Urgent or Short-Notice Situations
Sometimes life changes quickly – relationship breakdowns, job moves, urgent property works or emergency clearances. We are used to responding fast, providing a calm, organised service when you need to move items into secure storage at short notice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Canning Town cost?
The cost depends mainly on how much space you need, how long you need it for, and whether you require collection and packing. Smaller units for a few boxes or bits of furniture are naturally cheaper than full household storage. We price per unit size and duration, with discounts often available for longer-term bookings. Transport, packing materials and our packing service are itemised separately so you only pay for what you use. Contact us with a list or photos of your items and we will provide a clear, written quotation.
Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?
Where our schedule and unit availability allow, we can often arrange same-day or next-day secure storage in Canning Town. Urgent situations are common – last-minute moves, landlord requests, or unexpected building works – and we will always do our best to help. The more information you can give us when you call, the better we can plan vehicles, staff and suitable unit sizes. While immediate service cannot be guaranteed at peak times, we will be honest about what is possible and offer the quickest practical solution.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved by our vehicles, and we hold public liability cover for work on site. For the storage period itself, many customers are covered under their own home or business insurance, but we can arrange or recommend additional cover if required. We will explain the levels of protection available, including any limits and exclusions, so you can make an informed decision. Our facilities, security and handling processes are all designed to minimise risk from the outset.
What is included in your secure storage service?
As standard, you receive a clean, dry, alarmed unit in our Canning Town facility, with CCTV monitoring and controlled access. If you choose, we can also provide collection by our professional removals team, packing materials and a full or partial packing service. We handle loading and unloading into your unit, ensuring items are wrapped, labelled and stacked safely. When you are ready to move out of storage, we can deliver everything to your new address and place furniture and boxes into the appropriate rooms, making the process as straightforward as possible.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van and self-storage?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without proper insurance, training or control over how your goods are stored once they arrive. With us, you benefit from an integrated removals and storage service: trained movers, appropriate insurance, quality packing, and a well-managed facility. We plan access, protect your belongings, and keep a clear record of what has been stored. This reduces the risk of breakages, losses and disputes. For most customers, the additional peace of mind and professionalism justify the modest difference in price.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
For planned moves or refurbishments, we recommend contacting us as soon as you have approximate dates, ideally two to four weeks in advance. This allows us to reserve the right size unit in Canning Town and schedule our removals crew at times that suit you. However, we understand that dates can change, especially with property transactions, so we keep our approach flexible and will adjust where possible. If you need storage at short notice, still get in touch – we will check current availability and aim to offer a practical, timely solution.
