Who Our Business Storage Service Is For
Although branded as business storage, our service supports a wide range of customers who need secure, flexible space.
Homeowners
Ideal if you’re running a small business from home and your stock, tools or paperwork are taking over the spare room, loft or garage. Business storage lets you separate work from home while keeping everything close by.
Renters
If you rent your home, storing business items on-site may breach tenancy conditions or cause space issues. A dedicated storage unit provides a compliant and practical alternative.
Landlords
Use storage to hold furniture between tenancies, keep replacement appliances, or store maintenance equipment and materials centrally rather than in individual properties.
Businesses
From sole traders to growing SMEs, our units are used for stock, equipment, archives and overflow items. We support office relocations, refurbishments and ongoing operations with flexible terms and reliable access.
Students
Students running side businesses, online shops or freelance activities can use our business storage to keep stock secure during term-time or holidays, without cluttering shared accommodation.

- Retail stock, boxes of goods and packaged products

How Our Business Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or through our website with a rough idea of what you need to store and how often you’ll need access. We’ll ask a few practical questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on unit size and duration.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
If your requirements are more complex – for example, multiple units, racking, or regular deliveries – we can arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This helps us recommend the right configuration and access arrangements, saving you money and hassle in the long run.
3. Packing & Preparation
We’ll advise on best practice for packing and labelling business items so you can find things quickly and keep everything protected. If required, we can supply packaging materials and boxes, and recommend or coordinate professional removal teams to bring your items into storage.
4. Loading & Transport
You can bring items yourself or use a removals or courier service. We provide convenient loading areas, trolleys and handling equipment. Where arranged in advance, our staff can assist with unloading, stacking and safe use of vertical space in your unit.
5. Unloading & Placement
Once at the facility, items are moved into your allocated unit. We encourage a logical layout – such as aisles and shelving – to make ongoing access straightforward. You retain control of your unit, with secure access provided according to your plan.
Transparent Business Storage Pricing
Our pricing is straightforward and clearly explained before you commit. Costs are based on:
- Unit size (measured by floor area and height)
- Length of stay (short-term or long-term)
- Any additional services requested (e.g. shelving, packaging)
There are no hidden charges for basic access during opening hours. Any optional extras will be detailed in writing so you know precisely what you’re paying for. Longer-term business customers may benefit from preferential rates; we’ll happily discuss options for regular or contract storage.
Why Choose Professional Business Storage Over DIY Options
Storing business items in a garage, spare room or ad-hoc lock-up may seem cheaper, but it often leads to damage, disorganisation and limited access. With our professional facility you benefit from:
- Proper security: monitored access and CCTV, rather than a single padlock
- Dry, ventilated conditions that help protect stock and equipment
- Clear terms and documented agreements
- Support from trained staff who understand business needs
Compared with casual man-and-van storage arrangements, we provide a fixed, known location with consistent standards, rather than relying on someone else’s garage or warehouse corner.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised standards.
- Goods in transit insurance available when we coordinate removals to or from our facility, protecting your business items while they’re on the move.
- Public liability cover in place across our site for your peace of mind when you or your team are on the premises.
- Trained moving teams available through our trusted partners if you require collection or delivery support, limiting the risk of damage during handling.
You should also maintain your own business contents insurance where appropriate. We’re happy to provide documentation your insurer may require regarding our security and facility standards.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We encourage careful packing, clear labelling and the use of shelving or racking so that your items are well protected and easy to access. Our staff can advise on best practices specific to your type of stock or equipment.
From a sustainability perspective, we promote reusable packaging, recycled cartons where suitable, and responsible disposal or recycling of unwanted materials. Using shared storage space can also reduce the need for larger premises, helping you manage your environmental impact while keeping costs under control.
Real-World Business Storage Use Cases
Moving House While Running a Business
If you’re relocating home and running a small business, our business storage separates your work assets from household items. You can move the business into storage first, then bring it back in an organised way once you’re settled.
Office Relocation or Refurbishment
Businesses moving offices often need temporary space for furniture, IT equipment and files. Our units provide a secure holding area during phased moves or refurbishment projects, reducing disruption and clutter in the new premises.
Urgent or Short-Notice Storage
Sometimes space is needed quickly – for example, a sudden office clear-out, end of lease, or unexpected delivery. Subject to availability, we can arrange same-day or short-notice move-ins, with minimal paperwork and clear terms.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage cost?
Business storage costs depend on the size of unit you need and how long you stay. Smaller units for tools or documents are naturally cheaper than larger spaces for stock or furniture. We price per unit, per week or month, with discounts sometimes available for longer commitments. There are no hidden charges for standard access during opening hours. Tell us what you need to store and how often you’ll be visiting, and we’ll give you a clear, itemised quote so you can budget accurately.
Can you offer same-day or urgent business storage?
In many cases, yes. If we have suitable units available, we can set up same-day or urgent storage for businesses that need space quickly – for example, due to an office clear-out, end of lease or unexpected stock delivery. Contact us as early in the day as possible with details of what you need to store and your arrival time. We’ll confirm availability, prepare your paperwork and explain any identification required, so you can move in with minimal delay.
Is my business stock insured in storage?
Our facility is secure and we hold public liability cover, and where we arrange transport we can provide goods in transit insurance. However, your actual stock or equipment is usually covered either by a specific storage insurance policy or your own business contents cover. We’ll explain the options clearly when you book. Many customers extend their existing policy to include our address. We can supply any necessary documentation regarding our security measures and building construction to support your insurer’s requirements.
What’s included in your business storage service?
Your business storage includes a clean, dry, secure unit in our Roehampton facility, standard access during opening hours, and support from our onsite team. We provide trolleys and handling equipment, plus guidance on packing and layout. Additional services – such as shelving, packaging materials or help arranging removals – can be added as required and will be clearly itemised. You’re free to change unit size as your needs change, subject to availability, so you only pay for the space you actually use.
How is this different from using a basic man-and-van or garage?
A casual man-and-van or rented garage might offer cheap space, but there is often little formal security, no proper agreement and limited accountability if something goes wrong. With us, you get a dedicated, lockable unit in a monitored facility, clear written terms, and support from professional, trained staff. You can access your goods reliably and know exactly where they are stored. For serious business use, this level of reliability and traceability is essential, especially when storing stock or client assets.
How far in advance should I book business storage?
If you have a fixed date for an office move, stock delivery or refurbishment, it’s wise to reserve your unit at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods. This gives you the best choice of unit sizes and locations within the facility. That said, we understand that business needs can change quickly, so we also support short-notice and occasional same-day bookings where we have space. Get in touch as soon as you know you need storage and we’ll advise on the best options.
