At Storage Putney, we provide secure storage for households, businesses and students who need extra space without compromising on safety. As a locally based, professional removals and storage company, we combine secure facilities with trained staff, careful handling and clear communication from start to finish.

Who Our Secure Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are moving house, downsizing or having building work done. We can collect furniture, appliances and personal items, store them safely, and return everything once you are ready. Flexible short- and long‑term options mean you only pay for the space and time you actually need.
Renters
If your tenancy dates do not line up, or you are moving into a smaller flat, our secure units are a practical bridge. We can store boxed belongings, beds, sofas and white goods, with easy access and clear labelling so you can retrieve items when required.
Landlords
We support landlords who need to clear a property between tenants or store furnished items during refurbishments. Our team can remove, list and store your furniture securely, protecting it from damage while you carry out works or re‑let the property.
Businesses
Our secure storage is suited to archive files, excess stock, exhibition equipment, seasonal displays and office furniture. With collection and redelivery handled by our trained crews, your staff can focus on work instead of shifting boxes.
Students
Students in Putney and across London use us to store possessions between terms or during a placement year. We can collect directly from halls or a shared house, store everything safely, then return your belongings at the start of the next term.

How Our Secure Storage Service Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or through our online form with a brief outline of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few questions about the volume, access at your property and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no‑obligation quote that sets out collection, storage and redelivery costs.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger volumes or more complex jobs, we offer a free survey. This can be done via video call or an in‑person visit in Putney and surrounding areas. We measure furniture, assess parking, check access routes and confirm the amount of storage space required. This step helps avoid surprises on the day and ensures you are not paying for unused capacity.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can either pack yourself, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our teams use quality boxes, wrap, blankets and furniture covers to protect your belongings. Items are labelled logically so they can be found easily later. We can also dismantle larger items such as wardrobes and bed frames where needed, retaining fixings in clearly marked bags.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our trained crew arrive in purpose‑built vehicles. Floors, banisters and doors are protected where necessary, and everything is loaded carefully and securely. Your goods are then transported directly to our secure facility, with goods in transit insurance in place for additional peace of mind.
5. Secure Storage, Unloading & Placement
Once at our facility, items are unloaded into your allocated room or container. We stack and position belongings to maximise space while keeping frequently needed items accessible. The site includes monitored access, alarms and CCTV. When you are ready, we arrange redelivery to your new or existing address and place items back into the rooms you specify.
Our Local Expertise in Putney
Working daily in Putney and surrounding parts of south‑west London, we know the local roads, parking restrictions and building layouts extremely well. From mansion blocks near the river to Victorian terraces and modern apartments, we are familiar with common access challenges and how to handle them smoothly.
Because we are local, we can offer flexible time slots, including off‑peak collections to avoid traffic where practical, and short‑notice help where our schedule allows. You are never dealing with a distant call centre – just a local, accountable team.
Transparent Pricing – How We Charge for Secure Storage
We believe in clear, simple pricing with no hidden extras. Costs are typically based on:
- The volume of goods (how much space you need)
- The length of time you want to store for
- Collection and redelivery locations and access
- Whether you require professional packing or packing materials
We provide a written quote that breaks down these elements so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Discounts may be available for longer‑term storage, and we are always happy to discuss the most economical way to organise your space.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Using a professional storage and removals company gives you structure, accountability and protection that informal options cannot match. Our trained staff understand correct lifting techniques, packing methods and stacking to minimise the risk of damage. Vehicles are designed for furniture transport, with securing points and protective equipment.
Unlike ad‑hoc man‑and‑van services, we provide written agreements, clear terms and fully insured cover for your goods while in transit and in storage. You also gain a single point of contact who oversees your job from start to finish, rather than relying on casual labour or borrowed garages.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Storage Putney operates to recognised industry standards. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance while your belongings are being moved
- Public liability cover for work carried out at your property
- Fully insured storage facilities with controlled access and monitoring
- Trained, uniformed teams with experience handling delicate and bulky items
We explain coverage limits clearly and can discuss additional options if you have unusually high‑value items that need extra protection. Our priority is that you understand exactly how your belongings are safeguarded.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own. Protective blankets, furniture covers and proper stacking reduce the chance of scuffs or compression damage over time. For longer‑term storage, we advise on best practice: for example, defrosting fridges, avoiding over‑filled boxes and using proper crates for fragile items.
Sustainability matters too. Where possible, we use reusable crates, durable blankets and recyclable packing materials. We plan routes carefully to cut unnecessary mileage and encourage customers to reuse cartons rather than discard them after a single move. Reducing waste and fuel use benefits everyone.
Real-World Uses for Our Secure Storage in Putney
Moving House
If your sale and purchase do not complete on the same day, or you are moving abroad temporarily, we can bridge the gap. We collect from your old home, store for as long as needed, and deliver to your new address when you receive the keys.
Office Relocations
Businesses often need to phase a move. We can remove surplus furniture, archived files or IT equipment and hold them securely while the new office is fitted out. When you are ready, we return everything on a planned schedule to reduce disruption.
Urgent or Same-Week Storage Needs
Sometimes life moves quickly – a last‑minute completion date, urgent repairs or an unexpected change of plans. Where our schedule and space allow, we can provide short‑notice storage solutions, collecting at speed while still maintaining safe, careful handling.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Putney cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you store for and whether you require collection, packing and redelivery. We price per unit of space, with clear weekly or monthly rates and no hidden admin fees. Collection and return are quoted separately so you can see exactly what each part costs. Longer‑term storage can work out cheaper per week than very short stays. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us with a list or photos of your items so we can recommend the right size.
Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?
Where we have availability in both vehicles and units, we can often arrange same‑day or next‑day secure storage in Putney and nearby areas. Priority is given to urgent situations such as last‑minute completions or emergency repairs. Even on short notice, we still follow a structured process: a quick assessment over the phone or via photos, confirmation of pricing in writing, then dispatch of a professional team. If we cannot help on your desired day, we will be honest and offer the nearest alternative slot.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your goods are covered by our standard goods in transit insurance while they are being moved to and from our facility, and by our facility insurance while in storage, subject to stated limits and terms. We will explain these clearly before you book, including any exclusions and the maximum value per item. If you have particularly high‑value belongings, we may recommend topping up cover through your own insurer or arranging enhanced protection. Our aim is that you fully understand how your items are protected at every stage.
What’s included in your secure storage service?
Our service can be as simple or as comprehensive as you need. As standard, we provide secure, monitored storage space with clean, dry conditions and controlled access, plus careful handling at our facility. Most customers also ask us to collect and redeliver their goods using our own vehicles and trained crews. Optional extras include professional packing, supply of packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and help with item listing. We detail exactly what is included in your quote so there are no surprises.
How is this different from using a basic man-and-van?
A casual man‑and‑van can move items, but rarely offers the combination of secure facilities, written contracts, structured procedures and fully insured cover you get with a professional storage company. Our teams are experienced in packing, loading and stacking for long‑term storage, reducing the risk of damage. Your goods go into an alarmed, monitored facility rather than a shed or lock‑up of unknown standard. You also have a clear point of contact, documented pricing and defined responsibilities, which provide far greater peace of mind.
How far in advance should I book storage?
If possible, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead, especially during busy moving periods such as the summer or month‑end. This gives us time to schedule a survey if required, arrange packing materials and guarantee the right size unit. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate shorter‑notice requests. Even if your dates are not fully fixed, it is worth getting in touch early so we can discuss options and pencil in provisional arrangements.
