How Our Business Storage and Removals Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or via our online form with details of what you need to store, your location and timescales. We ask a few questions about volume, access and any special requirements. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage charges and any additional services such as packing or shelving.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger projects or office clearances, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us assess access, parking, lift use, staircases and the volume of items accurately. It helps us allocate the right team, vehicle and storage unit size, keeping costs fair and preventing any surprises on move day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our crews use quality boxes, crates, bubble wrap and furniture covers. Everything is labelled clearly so you can easily request specific items out of storage later. Sensitive documents and IT equipment receive extra protection and careful handling.
4. Loading & Transport
On the agreed day, our professional team arrives on time in sign-written vehicles. We protect floors, walls and lifts where needed, then carefully load your goods. Items are secured for transit using straps, blankets and appropriate stacking. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we move them to our storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the storage facility, we unload systematically, keeping boxed items together and heavier pieces safely positioned. We can create a simple inventory so you know exactly what is in storage and where. When you need items back, we can arrange partial or full redelivery to your premises, or provide access by appointment depending on your plan.
Transparent Pricing for Business Storage
We believe in clear, honest pricing with no hidden charges. Your overall cost will depend on:
- The volume of items and storage unit size required.
- The length of time you need storage – short or long term.
- Collection and redelivery requirements, including distance and access.
- Optional services such as packing, materials and inventory creation.
We provide a detailed written quotation so you know exactly what is included. Longer-term and larger-volume clients may benefit from preferential rates – please ask our team for a tailored proposal.
Why Choose Professional Business Storage over DIY or Man-and-Van
Using professional removals and storage specialists offers clear advantages over doing it yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van:
- Trained teams who know how to handle office furniture, IT and fragile stock safely.
- Appropriate equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and covers to protect your assets.
- Fully insured service with goods in transit and public liability cover.
- Secure, purpose-built storage facilities rather than makeshift or shared spaces.
- Clear paperwork, inventories and agreements suitable for business record-keeping.
This means less downtime, fewer damaged items and a more predictable, professional experience.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As an established removals and storage provider, we operate to high professional standards. Our services include:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while being moved between your premises and our facility.
- Public liability cover protecting you and your property while our team works on-site.
- Trained moving teams experienced in commercial moves and safe handling techniques.
We are committed to clear communication, reliable timings and careful documentation, so your business always knows where it stands.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your business assets as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped, IT equipment is padded and boxed stock is stacked safely. Where possible, we use reusable crates, durable blankets and recyclable packing materials to reduce waste. Routes are planned efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage and fuel usage. We continually review our practices to combine high standards of care with a responsible approach to the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage with collection cost?
Costs depend on how much space you need, how long you store for and whether you require collection, packing or redelivery. As a guide, smaller units for document boxes or limited stock are very affordable monthly, while larger units for full office contents cost more but are often cheaper than leasing extra commercial space. We provide a clear written quote covering storage fees, any transport costs and optional services, so you can budget accurately and compare options before committing.
Can you provide same-day or urgent business storage?
Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-day or next-day storage for urgent situations such as lease endings, sudden relocations or emergency clearances. The more information you can give us at the time of enquiry, the faster we can respond. For very short-notice requests, we may prioritise essential packing and removal first, finalising longer-term arrangements once your goods are safely stored. Contact us as early as possible so we can secure space and schedule a team.
Are my goods insured while in storage and transit?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them between your premises and our facility. We also hold public liability cover for work carried out on-site. Storage cover for your goods inside the unit can be arranged either through us or your own business insurer, depending on your preference. We will explain the options, limits and any exclusions before you sign, so you have complete clarity about how your assets are protected.
What is included in your business storage service?
Our core service includes secure storage space in a monitored facility, basic handling on arrival and placement of goods within your unit. Most clients also book our collection and transport service, where our professional team loads, moves and unloads your items. Optional extras include packing, supply of boxes or crates, inventories and redelivery when you need items back. We tailor each package to your requirements, so you only pay for what you actually need.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
Unlike many casual man-and-van operators, we provide a structured, fully insured service with trained crews, proper equipment and secure storage facilities. We offer written quotations, clear terms and business-appropriate documentation. Your items are handled systematically, with protection materials and sensible loading to minimise risk. For companies who must protect assets, staff safety and reputation, using a professional removals and storage firm gives far greater assurance than relying on unregulated, ad-hoc transport services.
How far in advance should I book business storage?
Where possible, we recommend contacting us one to four weeks before you need storage, especially for larger projects or peak periods. This gives time for a survey, planning and any packing or inventory work. However, we understand that business circumstances can change quickly. If you have a last-minute requirement, still get in touch – we will always do our best to find a suitable solution, even at short notice, and can often accommodate urgent needs.
