How Our Business Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quotation
You contact us with details of what you need to store, roughly how much space you think you need, and how long for. We ask a few practical questions so we can recommend the right unit size and access arrangements. Based on this, we provide a clear written quote outlining storage fees, any collection or delivery charges, and optional services such as packing and shelving.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex requirements, we offer a short virtual survey via video call or an onsite visit. This lets us accurately assess volume, access, and any special handling needs. The survey ensures we allocate the right size unit, plan vehicle access, and allow enough time for collection or delivery so the move into storage runs smoothly.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or choose our professional packing service. Our trained team uses sturdy cartons, bubble wrap and protective covers for furniture and equipment. We label boxes clearly, group items logically (stock, archive, IT, etc.) and, if required, draw up a simple inventory. Proper packing protects your business assets in storage and makes retrieval quicker and easier.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
On the agreed date, our professional, uniformed movers arrive on time, protect floors and access routes where needed, and carefully load your goods. We use securing straps and blankets in our vehicles to prevent movement during transit. Your items are then transported directly to our Biggin Hill storage facility with goods in transit insurance in place throughout the journey.
5. Unloading, Placement & Ongoing Access
At the facility we unload methodically, placing items in your unit for safe, efficient use of space. We keep heavier items at the bottom and frequently accessed items towards the front. Once complete, you have access as agreed in your contract – ideal for businesses that need to collect stock, documents or equipment on a regular basis. When you are ready to move out, we can also arrange delivery back to your premises.
Transparent Business Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your overall cost is based on:
- The size of unit required
- The length of time you need storage (short-term or long-term)
- Whether you need collection and/or redelivery
- Optional services such as packing materials, professional packing, shelving or inventory work
We explain all charges in writing before you commit, and for longer-term business customers we can usually offer discounted rates. There are no surprise fees for basic access, and we will always flag any potential additional costs in advance if your requirements change.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY Options
Many businesses start out using spare rooms, garages, self-managed lock-ups or ad-hoc sheds. While this can seem cheaper at first, it often leads to damp, damage, disorganisation and security concerns. By using a professional, fully insured storage provider you gain:
- Consistent, secure conditions for your stock and equipment
- Proper access arrangements and documentation for business records
- Efficient use of space, often reducing the size of unit you actually need
- Less downtime and disruption for your staff
- A service that can scale up or down with your business
Compared with a casual man-and-van and a cheap lock-up, our approach is planned, documented and accountable – which matters when your livelihood is involved.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your business assets are protected by our strong commitment to professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being moved between your premises and our facility (subject to terms and declared values)
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage or injury during our work at your site
- Trained moving teams – staff are trained in manual handling, safe loading and the correct use of equipment
We treat your equipment, stock and documents as if they were our own, with clear processes and careful record-keeping for business confidence.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take the long-term care of your items seriously. Furniture is wrapped, IT equipment is kept off the floor on shelving or pallets, and boxes are stacked safely. Where possible we use reusable crates, durable blankets and recyclable packing materials to reduce waste. We also encourage thoughtful packing and responsible disposal of any unwanted items, helping businesses cut down on landfill and unnecessary transport.
Real-World Business Storage Use Cases
Moving Office or Refurbishing
When you are relocating premises or refurbishing your existing space, we can store furniture, surplus equipment and files temporarily. This keeps the new office clear while fit-out teams work, and avoids rushing decisions about what to keep or replace.
Seasonal and Overflow Stock
Retailers and e‑commerce businesses use our units to hold seasonal stock, promotional materials and bulk purchases. This frees up valuable shop or office space while keeping goods secure and accessible when needed.
Urgent or Short‑Notice Needs
Sometimes storage is needed unexpectedly – a lease ending, a sudden office move, or flood damage at your premises. Subject to availability, we can arrange rapid, often same‑day storage solutions and provide collection to minimise disruption to your operations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage cost?
Costs depend mainly on the unit size, how long you need it and whether you require collection and redelivery. Smaller units for archive boxes or modest stock are naturally cheaper than larger spaces for furniture and equipment. We price per week or per month, with discounts often available for long-term business customers. All quotes are itemised so you can see storage fees separately from any optional services, such as packing or shelving. Contact us with a rough list of items and we will give you a clear, no-obligation estimate.
Can you provide same-day or urgent business storage?
In many cases we can help on a same-day or very short-notice basis, particularly for smaller volumes. Availability depends on current unit occupancy and vehicle scheduling, but we always do our best to accommodate urgent situations such as unexpected lease endings, flood or fire damage, or last‑minute office moves. If you call early in the day with details of what needs storing and your location, we can quickly confirm whether same‑day collection and storage is possible and outline any additional charges for urgent work.
Are my business items insured while in storage?
Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them between your premises and our facility, and our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to property during our work. For items while in storage, we can either arrange cover through our own insurance partners or work with you if your business policy already includes off‑site storage. We explain the limits, conditions and any declared values required before you sign, so you have complete clarity about how your assets are protected.
What is included in your business storage service?
Our standard service includes a secure, individual storage unit, agreed access arrangements, and basic advice on packing and preparation. If required, we can add professional collection, loading and unloading, supply of packing materials, full or part packing by our trained team, shelving inside the unit and simple inventory work. You choose the level of help you need. All inclusions and optional extras are listed clearly in your quote and agreement so you can tailor the service to your budget and operational needs.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van and lock-up?
A casual man-and-van will generally move your items from A to B, but offers limited planning, documentation or long-term protection. With our service, you are using a professional storage facility with secure access, stable conditions and clear records. Our crews are trained and fully insured, and we take responsibility for careful packing, loading, stacking and inventory as required. For a business, this level of reliability and traceability is vital, particularly when holding valuable stock, tools or confidential files.
How far in advance should I book business storage?
For planned projects such as office moves or seasonal stock, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance. This gives us time to arrange the right unit size, schedule vehicles and, if needed, complete a survey. However, we understand that business needs can change quickly, so we always maintain some flexibility for shorter-notice requests. Even if your dates are not fixed, it is worth contacting us early so we can pencil you in and adapt the details as your plans firm up.
