Secure Storage in Pimlico with Storage Pimlico
At Storage Pimlico we provide safe, secure storage solutions for households and businesses across Pimlico and central London. Whether you are moving home, renovating, decluttering or need somewhere reliable to keep business stock, our professional team will protect your belongings as if they were our own.
Secure Storage Services in Pimlico
Our secure storage facilities are designed for people who need flexibility, access and peace of mind. We offer short and long-term options, with units in a range of sizes so you only pay for the space you actually need.
Each unit is individually locked, protected by 24/7 CCTV, monitored alarms and controlled access. We combine modern security with the practical support of an experienced removals and storage company that understands how to handle and protect your possessions.
Local Expertise in the Pimlico Area
As a local Pimlico-based company, we know the streets, parking restrictions and building layouts in SW1 and the surrounding central London postcodes. That local knowledge makes collection and delivery to and from our storage facility quicker, safer and more efficient.
Whether you are in a mansion block off St George's Square, a terrace near Lupus Street, or running a small office close to Victoria, we can plan access, loading and transport with minimal disruption and maximum care.
Who Our Secure Storage Is For
Homeowners
If you are moving home, downsizing or renovating, secure storage can bridge the gap between properties or keep furniture safe during building work. We can collect, store and later redeliver your items, saving you from clutter and damage at home.
Renters
For renters between tenancies or moving into furnished accommodation, our secure storage is ideal for keeping your belongings safe for a few weeks or several months. You can scale your unit size up or down as your situation changes.
Landlords
Landlords use our storage to hold furniture between lets, protect items during refurbishment, or keep replacement appliances and fixtures close by. We can also assist with removals in and out of properties as tenancies change.
Businesses
Local businesses rely on our secure storage for stock, documents, seasonal displays, exhibition equipment and spare office furniture. With our fully insured service and trained staff, you gain extra space without the overheads of a larger office or warehouse.
Students
Students studying in London can store belongings safely over the summer or during a year abroad. We collect from halls or rented accommodation, store securely, and return when you are ready, saving you multiple trips home with heavy luggage.
What You Can Store with Us
Our secure storage units are suitable for most household and business items, including:
- Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
- Boxes of clothing, books and personal belongings
- Electronic equipment, computers and office hardware
- Business stock, promotional materials and trade equipment
- Kitchenware, small appliances and household goods

If you are unsure whether something can be stored, our team will advise you before collection.
How Our Secure Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Storage Pimlico by phone or online and tell us what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few simple questions about volume, access needs and timing. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote that outlines storage fees and any collection or delivery costs.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger loads, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. A member of our professional team assesses the quantity and type of items, access at your property and any special handling requirements. This ensures we allocate the right unit size, equipment and vehicle, and that our quotation is accurate and transparent.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or choose our packing service where trained staff use quality materials to protect your belongings. We label boxes clearly and prepare an inventory where required, helping you know exactly what is in storage and where. Fragile and high-value items receive extra padding and careful wrapping.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day our trained team arrives with the appropriate vehicle, trolleys and protective blankets. We load methodically, ensuring heavier items are secured and fragile pieces are protected. Everything is transported straight to our Pimlico facility under goods in transit insurance for additional peace of mind.
5. Unloading, Placement & Ongoing Access
At the facility, your belongings are unloaded and placed into your allocated unit in an organised, space-efficient way. We make sure you can reach items you are more likely to need. Depending on your plan, you can arrange access or schedule redelivery with our office. When you are ready, we deliver back to your property and position items where requested.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe secure storage should be straightforward and good value. Pricing is based on:
- Unit size (volume of space required)
- Length of storage (short-term or ongoing)
- Collection and redelivery, if required
- Optional packing services and materials
There are no hidden extras. We explain all costs clearly in writing before you commit. For longer-term storage, we can often provide discounted rates. Our team will help you choose the most cost-effective unit size so you are not paying for unused space.
Why Choose Professional Secure Storage Over DIY Options
Using a professional storage and removals company like Storage Pimlico offers advantages you do not get with ad-hoc arrangements or casual man-and-van services:
- Security: Purpose-built units, CCTV and controlled access, not a spare garage or lock-up.
- Protection: Proper packing, lifting equipment and vehicles designed for safe transport.
- Insurance: Included cover gives reassurance your goods are protected.
- Reliability: Booked slots, confirmed paperwork and a responsible office-based team.
- Continuity: One company handling collection, storage and redelivery.
This approach reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes, and usually works out better value once all factors are considered.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to high professional standards throughout every stage of handling your belongings. Our services include:
- Goods in transit insurance while your possessions are being moved to or from storage.
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property during our work on-site.
- Trained moving teams experienced in lifting, loading, packing and securing loads safely.
We follow best practice for manual handling, safe stacking and fire safety within the facility. Our staff are carefully selected, briefed and supervised, and we maintain our vehicles and equipment regularly.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Looking after your belongings goes beyond simply locking them in a unit. We pay attention to how items are wrapped, stacked and ventilated to avoid damage over time. Protective blankets, mattress covers and sturdy boxes help maintain condition, particularly for longer storage periods.
We also consider our environmental impact. Where possible we reuse packing materials, offer reusable crates, and recycle cardboard and plastics responsibly. Efficient route planning around Pimlico and central London reduces unnecessary mileage and emissions.
Real-World Uses for Our Secure Storage
Moving House
When move-out and move-in dates do not line up, our secure storage keeps your furniture and boxes safe in the meantime. We can collect from your old property, store for as long as needed, and then deliver direct to your new home once you get the keys.
Office Relocations
Businesses moving within Pimlico or into central London often need temporary storage for surplus desks, filing cabinets or stock. We can phase deliveries to match your fit-out schedule, avoiding clutter and disruption while your new workspace is being prepared.
Urgent & Last-Minute Situations
Sometimes life changes unexpectedly – sudden tenancy changes, urgent renovations or flood and fire damage. In these situations, our secure storage provides an immediate, safe home for your belongings while you sort out your next steps. Our office will always do its best to arrange rapid collection where availability allows.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does secure storage in Pimlico cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: the size of unit you need, how long you require storage and whether you would like us to collect and redeliver your belongings. Smaller units for a few boxes are understandably cheaper than larger rooms for full house contents. We provide a clear written quotation before you commit, showing the weekly or monthly rate plus any one-off collection charges. There are no hidden fees, and for longer-term storage we can often offer reduced rates. Contact us with a brief list of items and we will estimate space and price for you.
Can you offer same-day or urgent secure storage?
Where availability allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day secure storage in Pimlico. This is particularly helpful if you face an unexpected change of plan, such as a tenancy ending sooner than expected or last-minute building works. The sooner you call us, the better chance we have of securing a suitable unit and scheduling a collection team. Even when we are busy, we will always be honest about what is realistic and offer practical alternatives if full service on the same day is not possible.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Yes. Your goods are protected by our standard goods in transit insurance when being moved and by our storage cover while they are in our facility, subject to terms and declared values. We will explain the level of cover included and can usually increase limits if you are storing particularly high-value items. It is important you provide accurate information about what you are storing so we can advise appropriately. Insurance is one of the key advantages of using a fully insured, professional storage company rather than an informal arrangement.
What is included in your secure storage service?
At its simplest, our service includes a secure, lockable unit in our Pimlico facility with CCTV, alarms and controlled access. Many customers also choose collection and redelivery, meaning our trained team loads, transports and unloads everything for you. Optional extras include professional packing, supply of packing materials and help with dismantling and reassembling furniture. We tailor the service to your needs: some clients only require storage space, while others prefer a full door-to-door solution managed entirely by us.
How is this different from using a man-and-van service?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with limited security, no dedicated storage facility and often minimal or no insurance. By contrast, Storage Pimlico provides professionally managed secure storage, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and trained staff. Your belongings are kept in a monitored, purpose-equipped facility, not a random garage or shed. Paperwork, inventories and clear terms are in place, so you know exactly where you stand. Over the full duration of storage, this usually works out safer and more reliable, and often better value.
How far in advance should I book secure storage?
For planned moves or renovations, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives us time to complete any surveys, organise packing if required, and reserve the ideal unit size for your needs. However, we understand that circumstances are not always predictable. If you need storage at short notice, contact us as soon as possible – we will check current availability and do everything reasonably possible to accommodate your timescales.
