- Access by prior arrangement and ID verification
- Professional collection and delivery with purpose-built vehicles

Whether you use us just for storage or combine it with a full removals service, your items are handled by trained, professional crews from door to door.
Local Expertise in Perivale and West London
We are based in Perivale and work daily across Greenford, Ealing, Alperton, Park Royal and the surrounding areas. Knowing the local roads, parking rules and building layouts means we can plan collection and return efficiently, reducing risk to your belongings and disruption to your schedule.
We understand typical Perivale properties – from maisonettes and ex-local authority flats to family homes and business units on local industrial estates. That local knowledge helps us recommend the right storage size, access approach and vehicle for your address.
Who Our Secure Storage Is For
Homeowners
If you are renovating, in a property chain or simply decluttering before a sale, secure storage allows you to clear space without parting with your possessions. We can collect from your home, store safely, and deliver back when your project or move is complete.
Renters
Tenants often face short notice moves and fixed move-out dates. Our storage is ideal if your new tenancy starts later, you are between flats, or you are sharing and want to keep some items separate and secure.
Landlords
Landlords use our storage to hold furniture between tenancies, keep show-home items safe, or store appliances and maintenance materials. We can offer ongoing space so you are not trying to cram everything into a garage or shed.
Businesses
Local businesses in Perivale and West London rely on us for secure storage of documents, stock, exhibition equipment and spare furniture. We can collect directly from your office, shop or unit and return items as needed, reducing your need for larger premises.
Students
Students at London universities and colleges use our secure storage during the summer holidays or while studying abroad. We can collect from halls or shared houses, store your belongings safely, and re-deliver when term starts.
What You Can Store with Us
Most everyday household and office items are suitable for secure storage, including:
- Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
- Boxes of clothes, books, toys and personal belongings
- Appliances – washing machines, fridges (defrosted), microwaves
- Office equipment – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, computers
- Stock, promotional materials and exhibition stands
- Sports gear, bikes and hobby equipment
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we are unable to store:
- Perishable goods and food items
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including paint thinners, gas canisters, fuel)
- Illegal items or anything of doubtful ownership
- Cash, jewellery or high-value personal documents such as passports
- Live animals, plants or any living organisms
- Strongly smelling items or anything likely to leak or cause contamination
If you are unsure whether a particular item is allowed, ask our team and we will give clear guidance before collection.
How Our Secure Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or via our online form with a brief description of what you need to store, where you are based in or around Perivale, and your timescales. We will provide a clear, no-obligation estimate based on volume, collection distance and intended storage duration.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger loads, we carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, item sizes and any special requirements such as pianos or bulky office equipment. A survey ensures we allocate the right size storage and vehicle, avoiding surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or choose our professional packing service. Our trained team will bring materials, wrap furniture, protect mattresses and box smaller items securely. We label everything clearly so it can be located easily and returned to the right room when you need it back.
4. Loading & Transport
On the agreed date, our crew arrives in purpose-built removals vehicles. Floors and doorways are protected where needed, and items are carefully carried, wrapped and loaded. Everything is securely tied and stacked in the vehicle before transport to our Perivale-area storage facility.
5. Unloading, Storage & Future Return
At the facility, items are checked against the inventory and placed into your allocated space. Units are locked and kept in a dry, monitored environment. When you are ready, simply contact us to arrange partial or full return. We bring your belongings back, unload and place them in the rooms you specify.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
We believe pricing should be straightforward. Our charges are typically made up of:
- A collection and delivery fee (depending on distance and access)
- A weekly or monthly storage rate based on the size of space required
- Optional services such as packing, materials and enhanced insurance
We explain all costs clearly in writing before you book. There are no hidden extras for normal access, basic inventory or standard handling. If your needs change, we can adjust your storage size and pricing accordingly.
Why Use Professional Secure Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Options
Storing items in a friend’s garage or hiring a casual man-and-van might appear cheaper, but it often leads to damage, damp, loss or disputes. With Storage Perivale, you benefit from:
- Trained staff who move and stack items correctly
- Purpose-designed vehicles and protective equipment
- Clean, monitored storage conditions rather than makeshift spaces
- Clear paperwork and defined responsibilities
- Proper goods in transit and liability cover
The result is reduced risk, less stress and a far more predictable outcome.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a professional removals and storage company, we operate to recognised industry standards.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while being moved to and from storage, subject to terms and declared value.
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to property or injury during our work.
- Trained moving teams – our crews are experienced in handling fragile, bulky and awkward items safely.
We are happy to explain cover levels, exclusions and options for higher-value items, so you can make an informed decision.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped and protected, boxes are stacked safely, and units are kept dry and well ventilated. Where possible, we use reusable transit blankets and recyclable materials to reduce waste.
Efficient route planning and vehicle loading help minimise unnecessary journeys and fuel use. Old boxes and packaging left with us can often be recycled, helping you clear space at home while reducing environmental impact.
Real-World Uses for Our Secure Storage
Moving House
Chains do not always line up neatly. If you need to move out before your new place in Perivale or elsewhere in London is ready, we can collect your entire household, store it securely, and deliver everything once you have keys to the new property.
Office Relocation
Businesses use our secure storage when downsizing, refurbishing or relocating. Desks, chairs, IT equipment and archives can be held safely while fit-out works are completed, preventing damage and keeping your new space clutter-free from day one.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes circumstances change quickly – a sudden completion date, a new job or an unexpected tenancy end. Our flexible secure storage solution gives you breathing space, allowing you to move out on time while we protect your belongings until things settle.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Perivale cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you need it for and whether you require collection, delivery and packing. We typically charge a weekly or monthly rate per unit size, plus a one-off fee for collection and eventual redelivery. Our team will estimate the volume of your goods and match you to the most cost-effective option. There are no hidden extras for standard access or basic inventory, and we will always provide a clear written quotation before you commit.
Can you provide same-day or urgent secure storage?
Where capacity allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day secure storage in Perivale and surrounding areas. Urgent bookings depend on available vehicle slots and unit space, so contacting us as early as possible is important. We will ask for a brief description of what needs to be stored, access details and your timescales. If we can accommodate you, we will confirm a firm collection window and explain any premium charges that may apply for out-of-hours or short-notice work.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and during transport?
Yes, your items are protected under our standard goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from our facility, and we maintain public liability cover during our work. Basic cover is included as standard, subject to terms and conditions. For higher-value items or large consignments, additional cover can usually be arranged at a small extra cost. We will discuss values with you before collection and provide clear documentation so you know exactly what is covered and how any claim would be handled.
What is included in your secure storage service?
As standard, our secure storage includes collection from your property, careful loading into our vehicle, transport to our Perivale-area facility, unloading into a clean, dry storage unit and basic inventory. Units are kept in a monitored, alarmed building with controlled access. When you are ready, we can arrange redelivery to your new or existing address. Optional extras include professional packing, supply of boxes and materials, enhanced insurance and out-of-hours access by arrangement. We will tailor the service to your specific needs and budget.
How is your service different from a simple man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van usually offers basic transport only, with no dedicated storage facility, limited insurance and little recourse if things go wrong. Our service combines professional removals expertise with purpose-managed, secure storage. You benefit from trained crews, proper packing and protection, documented inventories, monitored units and clear insurance cover. We also provide written quotations, agreed schedules and ongoing support. This professional approach greatly reduces the risk of damage, loss or misunderstanding compared with informal or ad hoc options.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
To guarantee availability, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. This allows time for a survey if needed and ensures we allocate the right unit size and vehicle. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always do our best to accommodate shorter notice. Even if your dates are not fixed, it is worth getting in touch early so we can pencil in provisional arrangements and adjust them as your situation becomes clearer.
