Local Expertise: Secure Storage for Welling Residents and Businesses
We know Welling, its housing stock and its business parks inside out. From compact flats near the High Street to family homes and local shops, we understand the common storage challenges people face in the area – lack of loft space, no garage, tight access and limited parking.
Because we run a local removals operation as well as secure storage, we can advise on the most suitable unit size, the best time to collect your items, and the most efficient way to combine your move with storage if needed. Our local knowledge keeps things smooth, efficient and cost-effective.
Who Our Secure Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are moving house, renovating, downsizing or staging your property for sale. Keep furniture, seasonal items and valuables safe while you create space and avoid clutter.
Renters
If you are between tenancies, moving into a furnished property, or simply do not want to give up items you care about, our secure storage gives you flexibility without long contracts.
Landlords
Store furniture, white goods, and fixtures safely between lets, or use storage to clear a property for refurbishment without risking damage to your assets.
Businesses
Perfect for excess stock, archived files, marketing materials and equipment. Our secure storage is a cost-effective alternative to expanding your office or warehouse space.
Students
Heading home for the holidays or a placement year? Store your belongings safely rather than transporting everything back and forth. We can collect from your accommodation and return when you are ready.

How Our Secure Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or through our website with a brief description of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few straightforward questions, such as the number of rooms, types of items and access at your property. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage costs and any additional services.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger loads or combined removals and storage, we may recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volume accurately, identify any access challenges and confirm the right storage unit size. Surveys help avoid surprises on moving day and ensure our team arrives with the correct vehicle, materials and equipment.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or choose our professional packing service. Our trained team uses quality cartons, bubble wrap and protective covers to prepare your belongings for both transport and time in storage. Furniture can be disassembled where appropriate, wrapped, and labelled clearly to make retrieval and reassembly straightforward.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
On the agreed date, our professional movers arrive on time, protect floors and surroundings as needed, and carefully load your items. Everything is inventoried, labelled and secured before being transported in our purpose-equipped vehicles under goods in transit insurance to our secure storage facility.
5. Unloading, Storage & Return
At our facility, your items are unloaded systematically into your allocated storage space. We stack and protect goods to minimise the risk of damage and make retrieval easier. When you are ready to have your items back, simply contact us, and we arrange a convenient delivery slot, unloading and placing items into the rooms you specify.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We believe secure storage should be straightforward and predictable. Our pricing is based on:
- The volume of items (and therefore the unit size) you require
- The length of time you need storage
- Whether you need collection and return, or storage only
- Any optional extras, such as professional packing or specialist handling
We provide clear written quotes with no hidden charges. Longer-term clients may benefit from discounted rates, and we always discuss options openly so you can choose what suits your budget and circumstances.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage over DIY Options
Using a professional, fully insured storage provider offers several advantages over makeshift solutions such as spare rooms, garages or casual man-and-van arrangements:
- Purpose-built facilities with CCTV, alarms and controlled access
- Storage conditions that help protect items from damp, dust and pests
- Trained staff who know how to pack, stack and handle goods safely
- Insurance cover that protects your belongings while in our care
- Documented inventories to keep track of what you have stored
In contrast, DIY and informal options often lack proper security, insurance and handling standards, which can become very costly if something goes wrong.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, so we take our responsibilities seriously. Storage Welling operates to high professional standards, including:
- Goods in transit insurance covering items while they are being moved to and from storage
- Public liability cover for work carried out at your property
- Trained, vetted storage and removals teams experienced in safe lifting and handling
- Use of appropriate equipment such as trolleys, blankets, straps and protective covers
Policy details and limits are available on request, and we are happy to explain how cover applies to your specific situation.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your possessions with the same care we would give our own. That means:
- Using clean, dry vehicles and storage areas
- Wrapping and protecting furniture and fragile items properly
- Stacking and storing goods to minimise pressure points and movement
We also work towards more sustainable practices. Where possible, we use reusable crates, recycle packing materials and avoid unnecessary journeys by planning efficient routes. It is a practical way to reduce waste while maintaining high standards of protection for your goods.
Real-World Uses for Our Secure Storage in Welling
Moving House
Timing does not always align perfectly between sale and completion. Secure storage bridges the gap, keeping your furniture and personal items safe while you finalise your new property. We can combine removals and storage into a single, well-organised service.
Office and Business Relocation
When relocating or refurbishing an office, secure storage is invaluable for IT equipment, documents and furniture. We can phase deliveries to your new premises so you are not overwhelmed with items before you are ready.
Urgent Moves and Emergencies
Life is unpredictable. Whether you face an unexpected tenancy end, water damage at home or a sudden change in circumstances, our secure storage provides a calm, practical solution. We aim to respond quickly, with professional support throughout.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Welling cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much space you need, how long you need it for, and whether you require collection and delivery. Smaller units for a few boxes and small items are naturally cheaper than full household storage. We provide a clear, itemised quotation so you know exactly what you are paying for, with no hidden charges. Longer-term customers may benefit from discounted rates. Contact us with an idea of your items and timescale, and we will give you a tailored price.
Can you provide same-day or urgent secure storage?
We understand that sometimes storage is needed at very short notice – for example, a sudden property completion, unexpected tenancy issue or emergency at home. Where our schedule allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day collection and secure storage in Welling. Availability does vary depending on workload and unit capacity, so the earlier you call, the better. If we can help, we will; if not, we will always be honest and suggest the nearest practical alternative timescale.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your items are covered under our goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from our facility, and we maintain appropriate insurance for goods held in storage, subject to policy terms. We will explain the cover levels, excesses and any exclusions clearly before you proceed. For particularly high-value or specialist items, you may wish to arrange additional cover through your own insurer. We are happy to provide inventory details to support that if required.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our core service includes allocation of a secure storage space, handling and stacking of your goods at our facility, and security measures such as CCTV and controlled access. Most customers also choose our collection and delivery service, where our professional team loads, transports and unloads your items. Optional extras include professional packing, supplying packing materials and dismantling or reassembling furniture. We tailor the service so you only pay for what you genuinely need.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers simple transport only, often without dedicated storage, formal training or comprehensive insurance. At Storage Welling, you get purpose-built secure storage facilities, trained staff, documented processes and proper insurance cover. We provide inventories, careful packing and stacking, and long-term protection for your belongings in a controlled environment. It is a more robust, reliable option if you value security, professionalism and accountability.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
For the best choice of dates and unit sizes, we recommend booking as soon as you know you will need storage, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. That said, we regularly help clients at short notice and will always try to accommodate your timescales. If your dates are not yet fixed, we can provide an initial quote and hold provisional arrangements subject to confirmation, giving you flexibility while you finalise your plans.
