Why Our Safe Delivery and Installation Service Costs More
Why Our Safe Delivery and Installation Service Costs More
When comparing safe prices, it is important to look beyond the cost of the safe itself and consider exactly what is included in the delivery and installation service.
What Other Services May Not Include
Some suppliers use subcontracted delivery and installation teams rather than their own employed safe installers. This can mean that certain details, including the final installation location, may not be confirmed until the day of delivery. The installation team may also be limited in what they are willing or able to do on site.
For example, some installation services may:
- ✕Only anchor a safe to a concrete or stone floor.
- ✕Only use the fixing bolt supplied with the safe.
- ✕Be unable to install the safe in alternative locations, such as against a suitable wall.
- ✕Not carry a range of specialist fixings for different floor constructions or thicknesses.
- ✕Be unable to carry out minor preparation work, such as trimming a skirting board where required.
- ✕Arrive in a clearly branded vehicle displaying the word "SAFES", making the nature of the delivery obvious to neighbours or passers-by.
- ✕Provide limited information or photographic evidence of previous safe installations.
- ✕Not provide formal documentation confirming that the safe has been professionally installed.
- ✓Flexible anchoring — floors or walls where suitable and approved.
- ✓A wide selection of professional anchor fixings for all floor types and depths.
- ✓Minor preparation work carried out as required (e.g. trimming skirting boards).
- ✓Discreet, anonymous delivery vehicles — no "SAFES" branding.
- ✓Detailed case studies and photographs of previous installations.
- ✓Formal Certificate of Installation issued after every job.
- ✓Pre-installation assessment — location confirmed before delivery day.
- ✓Full demonstration and training on your new safe.

At London & Home Counties Safes, we use our own experienced, employed safe installation team. Our installers are highly experienced professionals who specialise in the delivery, positioning and secure installation of safes.

Flexible installation options
Where suitable and approved, we can secure safes to floors or walls.

Minor installation adjustments
Where required, we can make practical alterations such as carefully trimming skirting boards to allow the safe to sit correctly against a wall.
Insurance-approved installation methods
Installations are completed using appropriate professional fixing methods.
Discreet delivery vehicles
Our vehicles are anonymous or suitably disguised, helping to avoid drawing attention to the fact that a safe is being delivered.

We take the time to show you how to operate your new safe correctly. We explain the locking system, key or electronic lock functions, battery replacement where applicable, and the basic care and maintenance required to keep your safe working reliably.

Sussex Grade 1 Size 1 Digital Safe Installed at Standing Height – Victoria, Westminster SW1P
London & Home Counties Safes supplied and professionally installed a Sussex Grade 1 Size 1 Digital Safe for a customer in Victoria, Westminster, Central London SW1P. The customer advised us that their insurer required a Eurograde 1 safe. They wanted the smallest suitable model and needed it positioned at a comfortable standing height because bending down to access a floor-level safe would have been difficult.
Bloomsbury 40K Size 2 Digital Safe Installed in a Fitted Wardrobe – Richmond TW9
This installation included a Bloomsbury 40K Size 2 Digital Safe for a customer in Kew Riverside, Richmond TW9. The Size 2 was selected where more internal storage was required than the smaller Size 1 could provide, while still keeping the safe compact enough for installation within fitted bedroom furniture.
A safe is only as secure as the way it is installed
Choosing a professional, experienced installation service provides greater confidence that your safe will be positioned correctly, securely anchored and installed with discretion.
Our service may cost more, but it provides a higher level of planning, flexibility, workmanship, security and personal support from the first enquiry through to the completed installation — including a clean and tidy finish, a full demonstration of your new safe and a formal Certificate of Installation.
