Secure Storage Shooters Hill – Safe, Flexible Space When You Need It
At Storage Shooters Hill we provide secure storage for households, students, landlords and businesses who need safe, flexible space without the hassle. Whether you’re between moves, decluttering, renovating or running a growing business, our clean, dry and fully insured units in Shooters Hill keep your belongings protected for as long as you need.
Professional Secure Storage in Shooters Hill
We run secure storage the same way we run our removals – carefully, efficiently and with proper planning. Our Shooters Hill facility is purpose-designed for long and short-term storage, with monitored access, CCTV and options for collection and delivery using our trained removals teams.
Unlike basic lock-ups or casual man-and-van storage, we provide clear paperwork, transparent pricing and proper insurance, so you always know where you stand and what is covered.
Who Our Secure Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you’re moving house, downsizing or renovating, our storage units are ideal for furniture, boxed belongings, seasonal items and sports equipment. We can collect directly from your home, pack if required, store securely, then deliver to your new address when you are ready.
Renters
Tenancy ending before your new place is ready? Our flexible weekly or monthly secure storage solves the gap. Store everything from beds and sofas to kitchenware and clothes, keeping your items safe in Shooters Hill without committing to a long contract.
Landlords
We work with local landlords who need to store furniture during refurbishments or between tenancies. We can remove furniture from the property, store it securely, and return it once works are finished, keeping void periods and disruption to a minimum.
Businesses
Our Shooters Hill facility supports local businesses needing extra space for stock, documents, exhibition materials and office equipment. We offer professional inventory management, collection and redelivery options, ideal for online retailers, trades, charities and offices.
Students
Students at the end of term can avoid hauling everything home by using our smaller units and shared storage options. Store bedding, books, suitcases, bikes and electronics safely over the summer, ready for your return.

How Our Secure Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with a brief outline of what you need to store, your dates and whether you require collection. We will estimate the space required and provide a clear, no-obligation quote detailing storage fees, collection and delivery costs.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger volumes, we arrange a short virtual or onsite survey in Shooters Hill or nearby. This helps us confirm the right unit size, access needs and any special handling requirements (for example, pianos or very heavy items), ensuring there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your belongings yourself or use our professional packing service. We supply quality boxes, wrapping materials and protective covers. Fragile and high-value items are wrapped individually, and furniture is protected with padded covers to keep it clean and safe in storage.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
Our trained removals team loads your items carefully, using lifting equipment and protective blankets as needed. Everything is inventoried as it goes onto the vehicle, so we know exactly what you have stored. We then transport directly to our Shooters Hill storage facility.
5. Unloading & Secure Placement
On arrival at the facility, your goods are unloaded into your allocated unit or contained storage space. Items are stacked safely to avoid damage, heavier items at the bottom and fragile boxes on top. We lock and secure the unit, and provide confirmation of the inventory and storage terms.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We believe storage costs should be easy to understand. Our pricing is based on:
- Unit size or volume stored (measured in square or cubic feet)
- Length of storage (short-term or long-term)
- Optional services such as packing, collection and redelivery
There are no hidden fees for basic access or standard insurance cover. Any additional charges, such as extended access hours or specialist packing materials, are explained clearly in advance. For long-term storage in Shooters Hill we can often offer discounted rates.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY Options
Using a professional storage company is very different from renting a garage or asking a casual man-and-van to keep your belongings:
- Our facility is purpose-built with monitored CCTV, alarmed access and proper fire precautions.
- Goods are protected by goods in transit insurance while we move them, and by storage cover while in our care.
- Trained teams know how to handle heavy and fragile items to reduce the risk of damage.
- Clear contracts and inventory records mean you know exactly what is stored and on what terms.
- You avoid the physical strain and risk of injury that can come with moving everything yourself.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and we treat them accordingly. Storage Shooters Hill operates to high professional standards, including:
- Goods in transit insurance for collections and deliveries between your address and our facility.
- Public liability cover for work carried out at your home or business premises.
- Trained and vetted staff, experienced in handling everything from basic furniture to delicate antiques.
- Documented procedures for security, key control and access to units.
Specific cover limits and terms are provided with your quotation, and we are happy to discuss additional cover if needed for particularly high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care not just of your belongings but also of how we work. Our approach includes:
- Using high-quality reusable crates and protective covers where practical to reduce waste.
- Recycling cardboard, plastic and other packing materials responsibly.
- Planning efficient routes around Shooters Hill and the wider area to minimise unnecessary mileage.
- Keeping our facility clean, dry and well-ventilated to protect your items from damp and dust.
We see storage as a responsibility, not just a space for rent, and we act accordingly.
Real-World Uses for Our Secure Storage
Moving House
Chains fall through, completion dates change and sometimes you simply need to move out before you can move in. Our secure storage gives you breathing space. We can remove everything from your current property, store it safely, then deliver to your new home in or out of Shooters Hill when the keys are ready.
Office and Business Relocations
Businesses often need temporary storage during an office move, refurbishment or reorganisation. We can store desks, chairs, IT equipment, files and stock, then stage deliveries to your new premises in phases to keep disruption low and staff productive.
Urgent or Same-Week Moves
Life does not always give much notice. When you need to vacate a property quickly, our secure storage service provides a fast, structured solution. Subject to availability, we can often arrange collection and storage in Shooters Hill at short notice, keeping your possessions safe while you sort the next step.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Shooters Hill cost?
Costs depend on the volume of items, the size of unit required and how long you need to store for. We price per week or per month, with discounts available for longer-term storage. Collection, packing and redelivery are charged separately, so you only pay for what you use. Once we know roughly what you have and your dates, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras, so you can compare options and choose the level of service that suits your budget.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Where availability allows, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice secure storage in Shooters Hill. This is particularly common when a move date changes at the last minute or a tenancy ends unexpectedly. If you need urgent help, contact us as early in the day as possible with an outline of what needs moving. We will check vehicle, team and unit availability and give you honest timeframes. If we cannot meet your timescale, we will say so upfront rather than over-promising.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your items are covered by goods in transit insurance while we collect and deliver, and by storage cover while at our Shooters Hill facility, subject to the policy terms and limits. We will explain the standard cover level included and can discuss increasing this if you are storing especially high-value items. It is important that you declare any particularly valuable pieces so we can ensure they are properly listed on the inventory and appropriately protected.
What is included in your secure storage service?
As standard, we provide a clean, dry unit or contained storage area, basic insurance cover, monitored security and agreed access arrangements. If you choose, we can add professional packing, supply of boxes and materials, collection from your property, unloading into storage and final redelivery when you are ready. All of this is itemised in your quotation so you can see exactly what is included and decide whether you want a simple storage-only option or a full collection and delivery service.
How does your service differ from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may offer cheap transport, but rarely provides dedicated secure storage, reliable insurance or formal inventory records. At Storage Shooters Hill we operate from a permanent, monitored facility, use trained staff, and carry both goods in transit and public liability cover. We issue proper paperwork, contracts and receipts, and we are accountable for the condition of your goods while in our care. For anything more than a few low-value items, this level of professionalism makes a real difference.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For planned moves, we recommend booking as soon as you know your likely dates, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-ends. This helps us guarantee unit availability and, if needed, reserve a removals team for collection. However, we understand that dates often change, so we build in flexibility where possible. If your timings are uncertain, we can hold a provisional booking and adjust it as your plans firm up, subject to space being available at the facility.
