Security & Insurance
Our vault is built to the highest security standards, featuring a graded vault, 24/7 CCTV surveillance, motion detectors, state of the art alarm systems, and biometric access control.
We will arrange a certain level of insurance upon the first year of opening your box. Additional insurance can be purchased via Noble Insurance up to £500,000 for each box.
Basic insurance is included in the first year of your box rental. You may choose to arrange your own additional insurance.
Access is strictly controlled using biometric ID and a dual-key system. Only authorised individuals with verified identification can enter the vault area.
Yes, we offer professional valuations for jewellery, diamonds, bullion, and luxury watches. This ensures you have an up-to-date value for insurance and peace of mind.
Storage & Limitations
You can store items like jewellery, documents, precious metals, and small valuables. Prohibited items include firearms, explosives, illegal substances, and perishable goods.
Yes, you can store cash. However, we advise declaring high amounts for insurance purposes and checking any legal obligations.
Yes, these documents can be safely stored. However, ensure that trusted individuals know how to access them in an emergency.
There’s no set limit, but we recommend matching the box contents with your level of insurance. You can always upgrade your coverage if needed. We can also assist with a valuation service for jewellery, watch and bullion items.
We’ll contact you with reminders. If payment is not received after a grace period, access may be restricted, and the box could eventually be opened following legal procedures.
