Who Our Secure Storage Is For
Homeowners
Perfect if you are decluttering to sell, renovating, downsizing or simply running out of space. Store furniture, boxes, garden tools and sentimental items safely until you need them again.
Renters
Ideal when changing rentals, facing a gap between tenancies, or wanting to keep belongings safe in case of short-notice moves. We can collect directly from flats, including properties with limited access.
Landlords
Use our secure storage to hold furniture during refurbishments, store appliances between lettings, or keep replacement items ready without cluttering your own property.
Businesses
Our professional business storage suits stock, exhibition equipment, office furniture and archived files. It can be used as an overflow store or as a cost-effective alternative to larger premises.
Students
Instead of transporting everything home, store your belongings safely between terms. We can collect from halls or shared houses and deliver back at the start of term.
What You Can Store with Us
Most everyday household and business items can be stored securely, including:
- Domestic furniture and furnishings
- Cartons, suitcases and personal effects
- Home electronics and small appliances
- Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment
- Tools, trade equipment and non-perishable stock
- Sporting gear, bikes and hobby equipment
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot store:
- Perishable or open food and drink
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (e.g. paint thinners, gas bottles, fuel)
- Illegal goods or items of unknown origin
- Live plants or animals
- Cash, jewellery or other high-value portable items best suited to a safe or bank
- Anything that could leak, rot or attract pests
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise before collection so there are no surprises on the day.
Our Step-by-Step Secure Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You tell us what you need to store, roughly how many items or rooms it covers, and how long you expect to store for. We then provide a clear, written quotation outlining collection, storage, and redelivery options so you can choose what suits you best.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger loads, we arrange a video or in-person survey. This helps us assess access, parking, item sizes and any special handling requirements. It ensures we send the right size vehicle and enough trained staff, avoiding delays and extra costs later.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a professional packing service. We use sturdy cartons, wrapping and furniture covers to protect your belongings in transit and in storage. Every item is labelled clearly so it can be easily located and returned when required.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained moving teams load your belongings carefully, using blankets, straps and trolleys to prevent damage. Your items are then transported directly to our secure Creekmouth storage facility in purpose-equipped vehicles covered by goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Secure Placement
At the facility, we unload and place your items into a designated unit or storage area. Access is controlled, with CCTV and robust security in place. When you are ready for your goods back, we reverse the process and deliver to your new address, placing items in the rooms you choose.
Transparent Pricing for Secure Storage
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your total cost is based on:
- Volume of goods (how much space you need)
- Length of storage (short-term or long-term)
- Collection and redelivery distance
- Optional services such as packing and materials
You will receive a written breakdown so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Longer-term storage and pre-booked packages can attract reduced rates, and we are always happy to explain the options in plain language.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using a casual man-and-van or trying to move into a cheap, unmanaged lock-up can seem tempting, but it often leads to damage, losses or access problems. With Storage Creekmouth you get:
- Professional handling by experienced removals staff
- Purpose-built, monitored storage rather than makeshift units
- Goods in transit insurance and secure facility cover
- Proper inventories and labelling so items are not misplaced
- Clear contracts and predictable monthly costs
In many cases, our complete service costs less overall than arranging van hire, fuel, labour and a separate storage unit yourself, particularly once time and risk are taken into account.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. Our service is built around protecting them:
- Goods in transit insurance while we are moving your items between locations
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Trained moving teams with experience in safe lifting and packing
- Documented procedures for handling fragile, bulky and awkward items
We explain the level of cover in plain terms before you book, and you are welcome to ask for additional cover where required for particularly valuable items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings with the same care we would want for our own. That means:
- Using protective covers, blankets and shrink-wrap where needed
- Keeping units clean, dry and well ventilated
- Rotating and reusing packing materials where possible to reduce waste
- Recycling unwanted materials and cardboard responsibly
- Planning routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions
By focusing on both protection and sustainability, we aim to provide a long-term storage option that is kinder to your belongings and the environment.
Real-World Ways Customers Use Our Secure Storage
Moving House in Stages
Many Creekmouth customers moving between properties use our storage as a buffer. We can remove non-essential items first, store them securely, and then deliver everything once you have the keys and are settled.
Office Relocations and Refits
Businesses often need a temporary home for furniture and equipment during refits or relocations. Our secure storage allows you to phase the move, reducing disruption to staff and customers.
Urgent or Unexpected Moves
Life does not always run to schedule. If you need to vacate a property quickly – for example, following a sale, notice from a landlord or a change of plans – we can collect, store and safeguard your items at short notice while you organise your next step.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Creekmouth cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need and how long you require it. We typically price by volume (for example, part-load, single room, or whole-house contents) and then apply a weekly or monthly storage rate. Collection, redelivery, and any packing service are itemised separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Once we know what you have and where it is, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden fees or surprise add-ons.
Can you provide same-day or urgent secure storage?
Where our schedule allows, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice collections for secure storage in Creekmouth. This is particularly useful if a move falls through, completion dates change, or you need to clear a property quickly. Availability does vary with workload and time of year, so it is always best to call as early as possible. We will give you an honest answer on what we can do and offer practical alternatives if same-day is not feasible.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your items are protected by goods in transit insurance while we are moving them to and from our Creekmouth facility, and by our storage cover while they are with us. This sits alongside our public liability cover for work at your property. We explain the standard limits and any exclusions in plain English before you book, and you can request enhanced cover if you have unusually high-value items. We also focus on careful handling and secure premises to reduce the likelihood of any claim being needed.
What is included in your secure storage service?
Our core service includes professional collection from your address, transport to our secure Creekmouth facility, careful unloading, and storage in a clean, protected unit or area. We provide routine security, CCTV monitoring and controlled access as standard. Optional extras include packing materials, a full or part packing service, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and timed redelivery to your new address. All inclusions and options are listed clearly on your quotation so you can tailor the service to your needs and budget.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van and lock-up?
A casual man-and-van typically provides only transport, often without proper insurance, trained staff or a secure, managed storage facility. You are usually left to find and manage your own lock-up, which may lack monitoring or robust access control. With Storage Creekmouth you receive a complete, professional service: experienced crews, insured transport, purpose-run storage, documented inventories and clear contracts. It is safer, more organised and usually better value when you factor in time, risk and long-term reliability.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
For the best choice of dates and smoother planning, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy moving periods such as summer and month-ends. However, we understand that storage needs often arise suddenly, so we always try to accommodate last-minute requests where our schedule allows. Even if your dates are not fixed, it is worth getting in touch early so we can discuss options, reserve provisional space and help you plan around likely completion or tenancy changeover times.
