Our Step-by-Step Business Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us with a brief description of what you need to store, your location and preferred dates. We will discuss access, any handling requirements and the likely volume. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering transport, materials (if required) and ongoing storage charges.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex jobs, we recommend a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volume accurately, check access (stairs, lifts, parking) and plan the correct vehicle and team size. It keeps the move smoother and helps avoid surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or choose our professional packing service. Our trained crews use suitable cartons, wrapping and protection for IT, furniture and stock. We label boxes clearly for easy retrieval later, and can prepare an inventory where required.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and access routes where needed, and loads your items with care. Vehicles are equipped with blankets, straps and equipment to secure loads during transit. We then transport your goods directly to our secure storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
On arrival, we unload and place items into your allocated storage space methodically so that anything likely to be needed soon is accessible. If you later require specific items back, we can arrange partial or full redelivery from storage on dates and times to suit your schedule.
Service Variations to Suit Your Business
- Collection & storage – we collect, store and redeliver when needed.
- Storage only – you deliver items to us yourself and use our storage space.
- Office move with storage – integrated relocation and interim storage during fit-out or lease overlap.
- Short-term project storage – ideal for events, pop-up shops or seasonal campaigns.
Transparent Pricing for Business Storage
We keep pricing straightforward and transparent. Costs are typically made up of:
- A one-off collection and handling charge (if we collect)
- Weekly or monthly storage fee based on the space required
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Redelivery charges when you need items back
There are no hidden extras; all likely costs are explained in writing before you commit. For ongoing business customers, we can set up regular billing and discuss tailored rates for larger volumes or longer terms.
Why Choose Professional Business Storage Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Using ad-hoc storage or casual transport can quickly become risky for business-critical items. With our professional service you benefit from:
- Fully insured handling with clear terms
- Trained teams used to moving IT, furniture and stock
- Reliable vehicles and proper securing equipment
- Documented processes and inventories (where agreed)
- Consistent, accountable service from one provider
This reduces downtime, avoids damage, and gives you a single, dependable point of contact rather than juggling multiple low-cost providers.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to recognised industry standards and take our duty of care seriously. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance while items are being moved
- Public liability cover for work on your premises
- Secure, monitored storage premises
- Professional, uniformed crews trained in safe handling
We are happy to outline cover limits and, where necessary, discuss additional cover for unusually high-value consignments.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your business property as if it were our own. Our teams use protective blankets, floor coverings and suitable wrapping for delicate equipment. Where possible, we use reusable crates, recycled cartons and sustainable materials, and we plan routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage. If you are clearing out and need items disposed of, we can arrange responsible recycling and disposal in line with environmental regulations.
Real-World Use Cases
Office Move with Storage
A North Sheen firm relocating to refurbished premises used our combined removals and storage service. We collected surplus furniture and files, stored them securely for three months, then redelivered staggered loads as each floor was completed, keeping their new office uncluttered during the fit-out.
Retailer Seasonal Stock Storage
A local retailer needed extra space for seasonal stock ahead of peak trading. We collected boxed goods from their back room, stored them for eight weeks, and delivered fresh stock to the shop in scheduled drops, freeing valuable floor space and helping them trade more efficiently.
Urgent IT Equipment Storage
When an office lease ended sooner than expected, the client had to clear the building quickly. We arranged a fast-track collection, carefully packing and removing IT, furniture and documents for temporary storage while they sourced new offices, avoiding penalties and last-minute panic.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage in North Sheen cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you need it for, and whether you want us to handle collection, packing and redelivery. As a guide, small business storage starts at an affordable weekly rate, with separate charges for transport and any packing materials. We provide a detailed written quote after we understand your volume, access and timescales, so you know exactly what you will pay before committing. For long-term or higher-volume clients, we can discuss tailored pricing.
Can you offer same-day or urgent business storage?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice collections, particularly for urgent lease endings, landlord deadlines or unexpected refurbishments. Availability depends on vehicle and crew capacity on the day, so it is always best to call us as early as possible. Even if same-day is not feasible, we will usually be able to offer a prompt slot and practical advice on how to prepare items quickly for safe storage.
What insurance cover is included for my business items?
Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved and by our storage cover while they are in our facility, subject to standard terms and value limits. We also carry public liability insurance for work at your premises. We will explain the key points in plain language before you book, and if you are storing particularly high-value equipment or stock, we can discuss enhanced cover or how your own business policy might complement our protection.
What is included in your business storage service?
At its simplest, we provide secure, monitored storage space for your business property. Most clients also choose our collection and redelivery service, where our professional team loads, transports and unloads items safely. We can supply packing materials, offer a full or partial packing service, and prepare a basic inventory if required. All handling, basic protection and placement into storage are included as part of the agreed service, with optional extras clearly itemised in your quote.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
Unlike casual man-and-van operators, we offer structured, accountable service with trained staff, appropriate equipment and clearly defined insurance cover. Our crews are experienced in office and commercial moves, not just general deliveries, and we operate secure storage facilities rather than short-term or informal spaces. You benefit from planned scheduling, written documentation and a single provider responsible for the whole process, which significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays or misunderstandings that can be costly for your business.
How far in advance should I book business storage?
For non-urgent jobs, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you require a survey or have specific dates linked to leases or refurbishments. This allows us to allocate the right vehicle, team and storage space. However, we understand that business situations can change quickly, so we will always try to help with shorter notice where possible. The sooner you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of dates, times and pricing.
