Who Our Business Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you run a business from home, you may be overrun with stock, tools or paperwork. Our storage gives you back your living space while we safely hold your business items, with flexible access when you need them.
Renters
Renting and working from a flat or shared property can make storing work items difficult. We provide secure storage for your business equipment so you can keep work and home life clearly separated.
Landlords
We support landlords who need to store furniture, appliances or materials between tenancies, refurbishments or staged lets. Our professional teams can collect from and deliver back to your properties on agreed dates.
Businesses
From start-ups to established companies, we offer scalable storage for stock, marketing materials, office furniture, seasonal items and archives. As your needs change, you can increase or reduce space without long-term commitments.
Students
Students running side businesses or creative projects often need somewhere safe for equipment, samples or stock. Our smaller units are ideal for keeping your business belongings secure between terms or over the summer.

We regularly store a wide range of commercial items, including:
- Office furniture: desks, chairs, cabinets, shelving

How Our Business Storage & Removals Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of your business storage needs – what you have, where it’s located and how long you expect to store it. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage, and any packing you require.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex jobs, we arrange a survey. This can be done via video call or in person at your premises. We assess volumes, access (stairs, lifts, loading bays) and any special handling requirements so we can allocate the right team, vehicle and storage space.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed day, our professional team arrives with suitable materials. We can:
- Pack and label files, stock and equipment
- Dismantle and protect furniture
- Wrap delicate or high-value items for added safety
If you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply quality boxes and materials in advance.
4. Loading & Transport
Your items are carefully loaded into our vehicles, with heavier items secured first and fragile items protected. We use appropriate lifting techniques and equipment to keep both your goods and our team safe. Everything is then transported directly to our North Woolwich storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement into Storage
At the facility, we unload and place your items into your allocated unit or racked area, following any instructions for layout and accessibility. We maintain clear labelling so you can find what you need quickly. When you’re ready to have items back, we can deliver them to your chosen address.
Transparent Pricing for Business Storage
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Costs are based on three main factors:
- The volume of items and size of storage space required
- The length of time you need storage
- Any additional services such as packing, dismantling or redelivery
Our quotes set out all expected charges so you can budget accurately. There are no hidden extras, and we explain any optional services before you commit. For longer-term or larger commercial users, we can discuss tailored rates.
Why Choose Professional Storage & Removals Over DIY
Trying to manage business storage yourself – using staff cars, borrowed vans or makeshift spaces – often leads to lost time, damaged items and unnecessary risk. With our trained team and purpose-designed facility, you benefit from:
- Correct handling and protection for business-critical equipment
- Efficient loading and transport, minimising downtime
- Secure premises with controlled access and monitoring
- Proper documentation so you know exactly what is stored
Unlike casual man-and-van options, we provide structured processes, insurance-backed cover and consistent standards, giving you confidence that your business assets are in safe hands.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to high professional standards to protect your business and ours.
Goods in Transit Insurance
Your items are covered by goods in transit insurance while they are being moved between your premises and our storage facility. This cover is designed for commercial goods and equipment.
Public Liability Cover
We carry public liability insurance so that, in the unlikely event of an accident affecting your property or a third party while we are working, appropriate cover is in place.
Trained Moving Teams
Our staff are trained in manual handling, safe lifting techniques and the correct way to protect and load different types of business equipment. We do not use casual, untrained labour for commercial work.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your business assets as if they were our own. That means using suitable protective materials, securing loads properly and maintaining clean, dry storage conditions. We also aim to work responsibly:
- Reusing durable packing materials where safe and appropriate
- Recycling cardboard and plastic responsibly
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
By combining good care with sensible environmental practices, we support both your business continuity and your sustainability goals.
Real-World Business Storage Use Cases
Moving Office
During an office move, you may not be able to move everything in one go. We can store surplus furniture, archives or seasonal items while you settle into the new space, then deliver them when you’re ready.
Stock Overflow and Seasonal Peaks
Retailers and online sellers often need extra space during busy periods. Our business storage provides a flexible alternative to larger, long-term premises commitments.
Refurbishments and Fit-Outs
If you’re refurbishing an office, shop or rental property, we can remove and store furniture and equipment to clear the space for contractors, then return everything once the works are complete.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes businesses need to vacate premises quickly – for lease changes, landlord works or unexpected events. We can arrange rapid collection and secure storage so you meet deadlines without losing control of your assets.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage in North Woolwich cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much you need to store, how long for, and whether you want us to handle collection and packing. Smaller units for documents or a few items are naturally cheaper than spaces for full office contents or large stock holdings. We provide a clear, itemised quote so you can see storage charges separately from transport and any packing services. There are no hidden fees, and we can often suggest ways to optimise space to keep costs sensible for your business.
Can you offer same-day or urgent business storage?
Where possible, yes. If you need urgent storage due to a sudden move-out, landlord deadline or emergency, call us as soon as you can. We will check vehicle and unit availability and do our best to arrange same-day or next-day collection. While we can’t guarantee same-day every time, our local presence in North Woolwich means we can usually respond quickly and provide a practical, secure solution to keep your items safe at short notice.
What insurance cover do you provide for stored business items?
Your items are protected by goods in transit insurance while we move them, and our facility has robust security measures. For items in storage, we can discuss cover options depending on the nature and value of your goods. Many businesses extend their own business insurance to cover off-site storage; we can supply any documentation your insurer requires. We also hold public liability cover, and our professional handling processes are designed to minimise risk from the outset.
What’s included in your business storage service?
As standard, we provide a secure, clean storage space and controlled access to your items during agreed hours. Most clients also choose our collection and delivery service, where our trained team loads, transports and unloads everything safely. Optional extras include packing, supplying boxes and materials, dismantling furniture and reassembly on return. We tailor each plan to your exact needs, so you only pay for the level of support your business actually requires.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may move items from A to B, but often without proper insurance, training or secure storage facilities. We offer a structured, fully insured service with experienced crews, dedicated storage, documented inventories and clear contracts. That means better protection for your business assets, less disruption to your operations and a much lower risk of damage or loss. For commercial users, that level of reliability and accountability is usually well worth the difference in cost.
How far in advance should I book business storage?
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred dates and allow time for surveys and planning. However, we understand that business needs can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where space and vehicles are available. The more information you can give us early on – volumes, dates, access details – the easier it is for us to provide an efficient, well-organised service that fits around your operations.
