Renters
If you are between tenancies, moving in with a partner, or heading abroad for work, flexible secure storage helps you avoid giving up belongings you will need later.

Businesses
Local businesses, trades and professionals use our units for documents, stock, exhibition materials, tools, furniture and seasonal items. Our secure facility is a cost-effective extension of your workspace.

Our Step-by-Step Secure Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of what you need to store, your location and your timescales. We ask a few questions to understand volume, access and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering storage, transport and any packing you choose.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger collections, we arrange a short survey – either virtual (video call and photos) or onsite in Emerson Park and nearby areas. This allows us to confirm unit size, plan vehicle access and identify any challenges such as restricted parking or large, heavy items. The survey helps ensure there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or use our professional packing service. Our trained team use suitable cartons, wrapping and protective materials for furniture and fragile items. We label boxes clearly and prepare an inventory if required. Items are wrapped to minimise risk of scuffs, scratches or transit damage.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our movers arrive at the agreed time, protect floors and key routes, and carefully load your belongings onto our vehicles. Everything is secured for transit and transported directly to our Emerson Park storage facility or associated depot. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while on the move.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
On arrival at our facility, we unload items into your allocated unit, stacking in a safe, stable and accessible way. If you know which things you may need to access first, we place those at the front. The unit is then locked and secured, ready for your next visit or for redelivery when you require.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
We keep pricing straightforward, with no hidden extras. Your quote typically includes:
- Weekly or monthly storage rate, based on unit size
- Collection and delivery costs (if required)
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Insurance cover within agreed limits
Costs are influenced by the volume of goods, access conditions, distance from Emerson Park, and whether you choose added services such as packing. We explain all charges clearly in advance, and you only pay for the space and services you actually need.
Why Use Professional Secure Storage Instead of DIY?
Using a professional storage and removals company provides several advantages over handling everything yourself or using an informal man-and-van arrangement:
- Properly equipped vehicles and lifting equipment reduce the risk of damage or injury
- Trained teams know how to pack, wrap and stack items safely
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover protect you financially if something goes wrong
- Secure, monitored premises rather than a basic garage or lock-up
- Documented contracts and clear terms for access, notice and payments
Most importantly, you avoid the stress and heavy lifting, while knowing your possessions are properly protected.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our duty of care seriously. Storage Emerson Park operates to high professional standards, with:
- Goods in transit insurance for items we collect and deliver
- Public liability cover while working in your home, business or building
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling furniture and fragile goods
- Secure access controls, CCTV and alarm systems at our storage site
- Clear documentation and receipts so you know exactly what is stored
We are happy to explain the scope of our cover and discuss any particularly high-value items so you can decide if extra insurance is appropriate.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. On every job we:
- Use padded transit blankets, mattress bags and specialist covers where needed
- Protect doorways, bannisters and floors to minimise marks and scuffs
- Ensure units are dry, clean and well-maintained
We also work towards more sustainable practices by reusing durable packing materials where suitable, recycling cardboard, and planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions. Our aim is a reliable, responsible service that looks after both your possessions and the local environment.
Real-World Secure Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Completion dates do not always line up. We regularly help Emerson Park homeowners and renters store their entire household contents for days, weeks or months while chains are finalised. When you are ready, we simply deliver everything to your new address.
Office Relocation
Businesses relocating within Havering often need temporary storage for furniture, IT equipment and files while new premises are fitted out. Secure storage keeps operations running smoothly without cluttering temporary offices.
Renovations and Refurbishments
When you are having building work, new flooring, or a full refurbishment, placing furniture and belongings into storage keeps them safe from dust, damage and accidental paint splashes. It also gives your tradespeople space to work properly.
Urgent and Last-Minute Situations
Sometimes storage is needed at short notice – a sudden tenancy end, a relationship change, or an unexpected sale. Subject to availability, we can arrange fast collection and secure storage so you are not left scrambling for space.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Emerson Park cost?
Storage costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need, how long you require it, and whether you need collection and delivery. Smaller units for a few boxes are obviously cheaper than space for a full household. After a brief discussion or survey, we recommend the most efficient unit size and provide a clear written quote. You only pay for the space you use and the services you choose, with no hidden fees or surprise extras.
Can you offer same-day or urgent secure storage?
Where capacity allows, we do our best to provide same-day or next-day storage for urgent situations, particularly within Emerson Park and nearby areas. If you need rapid help, call us as early as possible with an outline of what needs storing and your location. We will confirm vehicle and unit availability, then offer the quickest realistic timescale. While we cannot guarantee same-day every time, we are often able to respond very quickly when circumstances demand it.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by goods in transit insurance while we are moving them, and by our general policy while they are stored in our facility, subject to policy limits and exclusions. We will explain the level of cover so you understand exactly what is included. If you have particularly high-value items, you may choose to arrange additional cover through your own insurer. Our aim is to give you clear information and proper protection, not vague assurances.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our core service includes a clean, dry, locked unit in our monitored facility, plus agreed access arrangements. Most clients also ask us to collect and return items using our vehicles and professional crews, which we are happy to organise. Optional extras include packing materials, full packing and unpacking, and detailed inventories. We talk through all options at the quote stage so you can decide what you want us to handle, and what you prefer to do yourself.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van usually offers transport only, with limited or no insurance and no dedicated storage facility. By contrast, we provide secure, monitored units, trained staff, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and documented contracts. We use appropriate packing, lifting equipment and protective materials to safeguard your belongings. In short, you benefit from professional standards and accountability, rather than relying on an informal arrangement that may not protect you if something goes wrong.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
For the best choice of unit sizes and collection dates, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy moving periods such as late spring and summer. That said, we know plans can change quickly, so we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. Even if your exact dates are not confirmed, it is worth getting in touch early so we can discuss options and pencil in provisional arrangements.
