Insured Removal Company for Your Peace of Mind
We understand that moving and storing your possessions is a major responsibility, and we take that responsibility seriously. As an insured removal company, Storage The Hyde maintains comprehensive cover designed to protect both our customers and our operations. This cover complements any insurance you may already hold and adds an extra layer of reassurance during collection, transit, and unloading.
Our insured removal services are structured to minimise exposure to risk throughout the moving process.

This focus on both prevention and protection means that the safety of your belongings is integrated into every step of our service.
Public Liability Insurance
Storage The Hyde holds public liability insurance that is appropriate for a professional removal and storage operator. This policy is designed to provide cover in the event of accidental damage or injury involving members of the public during our work.
Our public liability insurance supports safe working practices by ensuring that our activities are underpinned by a formal framework of accountability. It covers typical removal and storage operations such as moving furniture through shared areas, handling goods in and out of properties, and operating within communal spaces around homes, offices, and storage facilities.
While we work hard to prevent incidents through training and planning, our public liability insurance offers important financial protection against unforeseen circumstances. It also reinforces our commitment to operating as a responsible, compliant, and professional business.
Staff Training and Professional Standards
The strength of our safety culture at Storage The Hyde lies in the quality of our people and the training they receive. Every member of our removal and storage team is trained to follow safe working practices that align with our insurance obligations and industry standards.
Our staff training covers key areas such as safe lifting techniques, correct loading and unloading procedures, secure packing methods, and appropriate use of handling equipment. Team members are shown how to protect both customers belongings and the properties they move through, with particular attention to avoiding damage to walls, floors, staircases, and doorways.
In addition to practical skills, we provide training in customer care and communication so that our team can explain what they are doing and respond clearly to any concerns on the day. These standards help us maintain a consistent and reliable service, where safety, respect, and professionalism are always at the forefront.
Personal Protective Equipment PPE
The correct use of personal protective equipment PPE is a core element of our safety approach. At Storage The Hyde, our team is equipped with PPE suitable for removal and storage activities, and they are trained in when and how to use it effectively.
Depending on the task, PPE may include safety footwear with protective toe caps, gloves for secure handling of goods, and other items required for the specific working environment. This equipment is selected to reduce the risk of slips, trips, falls, and manual handling injuries, as well as to protect both staff and customers property.
We regularly review the condition and suitability of PPE to ensure that it remains fit for purpose. By combining high-quality equipment with proper training, we create safer working conditions and support the careful execution of every move.
Risk Assessment Process
Every move and storage requirement is different, which is why we follow a structured risk assessment process at Storage The Hyde. This process helps us identify potential hazards in advance and take steps to manage or remove them before work begins.
Our risk assessment approach typically includes assessing access routes to and from the property, checking for obstacles such as tight staircases or narrow doorways, and considering environmental conditions such as lighting, weather, and floor surfaces. We also review the nature of the items being moved, including awkward or heavy pieces that may require special handling techniques or additional team members.
Once the risks have been identified, we decide on suitable control measures. These might involve using specific handling equipment, adjusting the route our team will take through the building, or changing the sequence in which items are loaded and unloaded. By planning the work methodically, we reduce the chance of accidents and ensure that your belongings are handled in the safest possible way.
Our risk assessments are living documents that are reviewed and updated when conditions change, ensuring that the safety of our team, our customers, and the public is continuously monitored and protected.
