Who Our Business Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

If you run a business from home, store trade tools, or need to clear space while you renovate, our units keep everything organised and separate from your living space.

Tenants who work remotely or manage side businesses often use our storage to hold inventory, marketing materials or equipment that cannot be kept in a rented flat or house.

Landlords

Landlords and property managers use business storage to hold furniture sets, appliances, flooring and maintenance equipment between lets or refurbishments.

From small start-ups to established firms, we support offices, retailers, trades, charities and professional practices that need secure, scalable storage without committing to larger premises.

How Our Business Storage Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us with a brief outline of what you need to store, your timescales and whether you require collection. We will ask a few simple questions, recommend an appropriate unit size and provide a clear, no-obligation quotation covering storage, optional collection, and any packing materials.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger projects, office clearances or multi-vehicle moves, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to confirm volumes accurately, check access, understand any building constraints and agree the best schedule. It also helps avoid surprises on the day and keeps costs transparent.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can self-pack, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our trained team use quality cartons, archive boxes, wrapping materials and labels to protect items and keep everything easy to find later. We pay particular attention to IT equipment, glass, and sensitive documents.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our trained, professional removals crew arrives at the agreed time, protects floors and access routes, and loads items carefully. Vehicles are equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys. Your goods are then transported directly to our Gunnersbury storage facility under goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading & Placement in Storage

At the facility, items are unloaded and placed into your designated unit in an organised way so you can retrieve what you need without having to empty the entire space. We can create simple inventories or layout plans on request, making long-term management easier.

Transparent Pricing for Business Storage

We believe businesses should have clear, predictable costs. Our pricing is based on:

• Unit size (measured in square or cubic feet)
• Length of storage term (short-term or ongoing)
• Whether you require collection and/or redelivery services
• Any professional packing, materials or specialist handling

We explain all charges upfront, including notice periods, payment schedules and any optional extras. There are no hidden administration fees. For regular or long-term business users, we can discuss tailored rates and invoicing arrangements.

Why Choose Professional Business Storage Over DIY

Using a professional storage provider rather than a casual man-and-van or an unattended lock-up offers several advantages:

• Security: monitored facilities, robust access controls and documented procedures
• Protection: proper handling, professional packing options and fully insured transport
• Reliability: scheduled collections and deliveries, written agreements and trained staff
• Scalability: the ability to increase or reduce space as your business changes
• Compliance: correct storage of documents and equipment for regulatory or insurance purposes

In contrast, DIY storage and informal van services often lack adequate insurance, professional standards or continuity of service, which can be costly if something goes wrong.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As an established local provider, we operate to clear professional standards. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance while your items are being moved to and from storage
• Public liability cover for work carried out on your premises or in shared buildings
• Trained moving teams experienced in commercial moves and sensitive equipment
• Documented procedures for access, key holding and security

We are always happy to discuss specific insurance requirements or provide evidence of cover for your own compliance and audit records.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We handle every business storage project as if it were our own equipment and stock. That means:

• Using protective blankets, covers and professional packing materials
• Keeping storage areas clean, dry and well ventilated
• Stacking and racking items safely to prevent damage

Where possible, we adopt a sustainable approach by:

• Reusing sturdy crates and containers
• Encouraging clients to choose recyclable packing materials
• Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage

Real-World Uses for Our Business Storage

Online sellers and high street retailers often rely on us for seasonal or overflow stock. Our storage helps keep inventory organised and accessible without the cost of a larger shop or warehouse.

From unexpected lease terminations to emergency repairs, there are times when you need secure storage fast. Subject to availability, we can arrange same-day or urgent collections in Gunnersbury and quickly set up a suitable unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does business storage cost?

Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need, how long you plan to store items and whether you would like us to handle collection and packing. Smaller units for archive boxes or limited stock are naturally cheaper than larger spaces suited to full office contents. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear written quotation setting out storage rates, any transport fees and optional services. There are no hidden extras, and for ongoing or multi-unit users we can often agree preferential terms.

Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in Gunnersbury?

In many cases, yes. If we have capacity, we can arrange same-day or very short-notice storage for businesses facing urgent situations, such as sudden lease ends or water damage at their premises. Contact us as early in the day as possible with details of what needs to be stored and your location. We will confirm availability, provide an immediate estimate and, if required, dispatch a removals team to collect and move your items directly into a secure unit.

Are my items insured while in storage and during transport?

Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved to and from storage, and we also carry public liability cover for work on your premises. For items held in storage, we maintain facility insurance and can provide guidance on any additional cover you may wish to arrange through your own business insurer. We are happy to explain the levels of protection in plain language so you understand exactly what is covered and can make informed decisions.

What is included in your business storage service?

Our core service includes secure storage space in our Gunnersbury facility, monitored access, and support from our onsite team. Most clients also choose optional services such as collection and delivery, professional packing, and supply of boxes, crates and wrapping materials. For larger moves, we can provide surveys, inventories and coordinated move plans. We outline exactly what is included in your quotation so you know which elements are standard and which are add-ons, allowing you to tailor the service to your budget and needs.

How is professional business storage different from a man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van service typically focuses on transport only, with limited or no responsibility for ongoing security, documentation or access management. In contrast, our professional business storage offers secure, monitored units, trained staff, documented procedures and appropriate insurance. We understand business requirements such as compliance, confidentiality and continuity of access. This structured approach reduces risk, helps protect your assets and provides a clear point of contact if you need changes, reports or support over the course of your storage term.

How far in advance should I book business storage?

For planned office moves or seasonal stock storage, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred dates and unit size. This also gives us time to carry out any necessary surveys and coordinate with your building management. However, we understand that business needs can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate short-notice requests. Even if your timescales are tight, contact us and we will advise on what is possible and propose the most practical plan.
