Why Our Removals Storage Is Secure

1

24/7 Staffed Compound with CCTV

Our Purfleet facility operates around the clock. Security staff are on site at all times. A modern CCTV system covers the entire compound.

2

Every Unit Locked and Sealed

Each unit is locked and sealed before we store it. We provide the seal number for your records and for inspection purposes.

3

Fully Insured While in Our Care

Your belongings are fully insured throughout their time in our facility, from the moment we collect through to redelivery at your door.

4

Experienced Storage and Moving Team

Trained crews collect, store and redeliver belongings using documented handling and inventory procedures.

Flexible storage solutions

Storage for Homes and Businesses

London properties are compact. Spare rooms fill quickly. Many flats have no loft, no basement and no garage. When a move runs over its expected dates, when a renovation empties a floor, or when a business is between offices, you need secure storage without the hassle of hiring a van, driving to a facility and loading it yourself.

Removals Nationwide solves that with a fully managed service. Our team collects from your address, loads your goods, seals the unit and stores everything at our staffed Purfleet compound. When you need your belongings back, we return them to your door. No van hire, no heavy lifting, no access headaches.

In 2026, more London customers book managed, collect-and-store storage than ever before. The model is a genuine improvement over the traditional drive-up unit because you do not arrange transport, navigate a storage park or carry furniture up a ramp. We handle the physical work and follow documented procedures to keep your goods in qualified hands throughout collection, storage and redelivery.

Step by step

How Our Collect and Store Service Works

No van hire. No hauling. No heavy lifting.

We collect from your door, load everything, seal your unit and store it at our staffed compound. You do nothing except tell us when to collect.

  1. Step 1

    Contact us and request a unit. A survey is only needed for large volumes. We confirm a collection date that suits you.

  2. Step 2

    We collect from your property anywhere in London, or you deliver your goods to our Purfleet facility. We confirm the exact volume once everything is loaded.

  3. Step 3

    Our team checks the condition of your items and records everything on inventory sheets. You keep a copy.

  4. Step 4

    Your goods are loaded, sealed and stored in your unit at our secure compound. We give you the seal number.

  5. Step 5

    Access your items at any time by appointment, with at least 48 hours notice. We return your goods to your door when you need them.

Know the difference

Storage Types Explained: Containerised, Self-Storage and Mobile

Three different models, each suited to different needs. Here is what they are and which one Removals Nationwide offers.

Not what we offer

Self-Storage

You rent a drive-up room at a storage facility and manage everything yourself. You hire a van, load it, drive to the facility, unload into your room, and lock up. Access is typically unrestricted during facility hours. The major national chains operate this model. It suits people who want frequent, unaccompanied access and are happy to arrange their own transport.

What Removals Nationwide offers

Containerised Storage

A provider collects from your address, loads your goods, locks and seals a dedicated unit, and stores it at a staffed compound. You access your unit by appointment. This is managed storage. Removals Nationwide operates this model. It suits people who want the physical work done for them and do not need to visit their unit frequently. No van hire, no heavy lifting, no access headaches.

Not what we offer

Mobile Storage

A storage container or pod is delivered to your property. You fill it yourself at your own pace. The provider then collects the loaded container and stores it at their depot. You access your goods by booking a delivery of the container back to you. Some national providers offer this model under pod or vault branding.

Transparent pricing

How Much Does Removals Storage Cost?

Storage at Removals Nationwide starts at £10 per week. Pricing is based on the volume of goods you store, not a fixed room size or square footage. You pay for the space your goods actually use.

There is no minimum storage term and no maximum. Store for a single week between completion dates or for several years while you settle abroad. The rate is confirmed at the time of booking, once we know your volume.

Three factors affect your price: the volume of goods stored, the length of time you store, and whether we collect from your property or you deliver to our Purfleet facility. Delivery to the facility costs slightly less than a full collection service.

Before storage, it pays to pack well. Plastic crates pack more efficiently than cardboard boxes and protect contents against moisture, particularly in long-term storage. Better packing reduces the volume you store and lowers your bill. See our crate hire and packaging materials and professional packing service pages for options.

Helpful advice

Storage Tips

1

Invest in good packing materials

Pack boxes tightly to prevent collapsing under weight and seal each one with strong tape. Plastic crates are sturdier than cardboard, stack flat and protect against moisture during long-term storage. Removals Nationwide offers crate hire and a full range of packaging materials, delivered to your address before collection day.

2

Do not store food, plants or hazardous items

Food attracts pests and deteriorates over time, even in sealed containers. Living plants die without light and water. Flammable, corrosive and pressurised items are not permitted in any storage unit. If you are unsure whether an item qualifies, your coordinator confirms before collection.

3

Use storage to solve the gap in your move

The period between leaving one property and entering another is the most stressful part of any move. Storage at Removals Nationwide removes that pressure. We collect on your departure date and deliver when your new address is ready. The same approach works for international moves, where the gap between UK departure and overseas arrival runs to weeks, and for students vacating dormitories before their next term accommodation opens.
