How Our Business Storage Process Works
We follow a clear, step-by-step approach so you know exactly what to expect.
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with details of what you need to store, your preferred dates and access requirements. We will discuss unit sizes, duration and any additional services such as packing or shelving. You will receive a clear, no-obligation quote outlining costs and options, so you can plan your budget with confidence.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger commercial moves into storage, we arrange a professional survey, either virtually (video call and photos) or at your premises in Putney. This allows us to assess access, parking, volumes and any fragile or specialist items. A proper survey ensures we supply the right size unit, the right vehicle and the right number of trained movers on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
We can supply strong boxes, crates and packing materials, or provide a full packing service. Our team carefully packs, wraps and labels office equipment, documents and stock to protect against damage and make retrieval easy. Furniture is dismantled where necessary, wrapped in protective materials and prepared for safe transport and storage.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our fully insured removals team arrives on time, protects floors and access routes, and methodically loads your goods. Everything is secured in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We then transport your items directly to our secure storage facility in Putney using purpose-built removals vehicles, covered by comprehensive goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the facility, we unload your items with the same care, placing them into your allocated storage unit logically and safely. If requested, we can organise items by type (e.g. stock, documents, equipment) and position frequently accessed items at the front. Once complete, you receive confirmation of what is stored and can arrange future access as needed.
Transparent Business Storage Pricing
We aim to keep our pricing straightforward and predictable. Costs are based on:
- The size of storage unit required
- The duration of storage (short-term or long-term)
- Collection and delivery requirements
- Any optional extras, such as packing or shelving
Instead of complicated tariffs, we agree a clear weekly or monthly rate, plus any one-off removals charges if we are collecting from your premises. There are no hidden fees for basic access, and long-term or higher volume clients can often benefit from reduced rates. All costs are confirmed in writing before you commit.
Why Choose Professional Business Storage Over DIY or Man-and-Van?
While self-arranged storage or a casual man-and-van may look cheaper at first glance, the risks and inefficiencies often outweigh any savings:
- Professional handling – Our trained teams know how to move IT equipment, archives and office furniture safely, reducing breakages and downtime.
- Insurance cover – With goods in transit and public liability insurance, your business is protected if something goes wrong. Many cheaper options are not properly covered.
- Time savings – Your staff can stay focused on their work while we manage the logistics from start to finish.
- Consistency – We use proper vehicles, materials and processes every time, not just when convenient.
For most businesses, the reliability, protection and time saved by using a professional storage and removals service more than justifies the modest extra cost.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to strict standards designed for commercial clients:
- Goods in transit insurance – Your items are covered while being moved between your premises and our storage facility.
- Public liability cover – Protects your organisation and the public while we are working at your property.
- Trained moving teams – Our staff are experienced in handling business equipment, confidential materials and high-value items sensitively and securely.
- Documented procedures – From inventory lists to access protocols, we keep proper records to minimise risk and confusion.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Every move into storage is handled with care. We use padded blankets, export-grade wrap and purpose-made cartons to protect your goods. We also work hard to operate responsibly:
- Re-using crates and durable materials where appropriate
- Recycling cardboard and packaging through approved channels
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
Our goal is to provide reliable business storage that supports your operations while minimising waste and disruption.
Real-World Business Storage Use Cases in Putney
Moving Office or Refurbishing
If you are relocating within Putney or refurbishing your existing space, we can store furniture, equipment and files during the transition. This keeps your new or refurbished office clutter-free and allows staged moves.
Seasonal Stock and Event Equipment
Retailers and e‑commerce businesses use our units to hold seasonal stock, promotional materials and exhibition stands. You retain easy access without tying up valuable shop or office space year-round.
Rapid, Short-Term Storage
Sometimes you need storage quickly – for example, after a sudden office change, lease issue or urgent clearance. Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-week or even same-day collection into storage, keeping your business operating with minimal interruption.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage in Putney cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need, how long you plan to store for, and whether you require our removals team to collect and deliver. Smaller units for documents or a limited amount of stock are typically very affordable, while larger spaces for full offices or significant inventory are priced according to volume. We provide a clear written quote before you commit, showing storage charges and any collection fees separately. There are no hidden extras for basic access, and longer-term bookings may qualify for discounted rates.
Can you offer same-day or urgent business storage?
In many cases, yes. If we have suitable unit space and a removals team available, we can arrange rapid or even same-day collection and storage for your business items in Putney. This is particularly useful for urgent office clearances, unexpected lease changes or last-minute refurbishments. The sooner you contact us with details of your situation, the better we can plan resources and give you accurate timings. While we cannot guarantee same-day availability every time, we will always do our best to accommodate urgent requests.
Are my items insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your premises and our facility, and we maintain appropriate cover for items held in our secure storage units. This is in addition to our public liability insurance, which protects your organisation and the public while we are working on site. We will explain the level of cover included as standard and can advise if you need additional insurance for unusually high-value items. Clear documentation is provided so you understand exactly how your assets are protected.
What’s included in your business storage service?
Our standard service includes secure, clean storage space in Putney, monitored access, and support from our professional team. Most businesses also choose to add collection and delivery, where our trained movers carefully pack, load, transport and place your items in the unit. We can supply packing materials, dismantle and reassemble furniture, and organise items logically for easier access. You receive clear pricing, a summary of stored items if requested, and guidance on how to arrange visits to your unit. Optional extras, such as racking or crates, can be added to suit your operations.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?
A casual man-and-van usually offers simple transport with limited protection and little focus on long-term business needs. Our service combines professional removals expertise with secure, purpose-managed storage. We use trained staff, appropriate packing materials, proper removals vehicles and documented procedures. Your items are covered by our insurances, and we plan moves to minimise disruption to your business. In practice, that means fewer damages, clearer communication, and a storage solution that can grow with you, rather than a one-off trip with no ongoing support or accountability.
How far in advance should I book business storage?
For planned projects such as office moves or refurbishments, we recommend contacting us at least two to four weeks in advance. This gives us time to survey, recommend the right unit size and schedule our removals team for your preferred dates. However, we understand business pressures are not always predictable. We regularly handle last-minute requests and will always try to find a solution, even at short notice. The earlier you get in touch, the more choice you will have on unit sizes, timings and any additional services you may require.
