Our Step-by-Step Business Storage Process
We aim to keep the process straightforward and predictable so you know exactly what will happen and when.
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or via our online form with details of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask a few questions about access requirements, approximate volume and any special handling needs. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining unit size options, monthly rates and any additional services such as collections or shelving.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex requirements, we offer a brief virtual or onsite survey. We’ll assess the volume of items, discuss access (for example, pallet deliveries or frequent stock pick-ups) and check any lifting needs. This allows us to recommend the most efficient setup so you’re not paying for unused space.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can provide professional packing support. Our trained staff can supply sturdy boxes, archive cartons, racking and protective materials, helping you label and organise stock or files clearly. For sensitive documents or IT equipment, we advise on best practice to minimise risk of damage while in storage.
4. Collection, Loading & Transport
If required, our removals team can collect items directly from your premises. Using padded blankets, straps and professional handling techniques, we load your goods carefully into our vehicles, protecting furniture and delicate equipment throughout. Your items are then transported directly to our Holloway facility under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading, Placement & Ongoing Access
On arrival, we unload and position your items neatly within your unit, using a logical layout so you can find what you need quickly. We can help you set up basic shelving or racking if required. Once you’re in, you’ll have convenient, controlled access to your unit during opening hours, with our team on hand if you need assistance.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
Our business storage pricing is straightforward and competitive for the Holloway area. Costs are based on:
- Unit size (measured in square feet)
- Length of stay (short or long-term)
- Level of access required
- Optional services such as collection, packing and shelving
We provide a clear breakdown before you commit, with no hidden admin charges. Longer-term bookings often attract better rates, and we’ll always advise the most economical combination of unit size and duration for your needs.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Simple Man-and-Van
Using a professional storage provider offers several advantages over informal arrangements or ad-hoc garages and lock-ups:
- Security – monitored CCTV, alarm systems and controlled access are standard, not optional.
- Protection – units are clean, dry and purpose-built, reducing risk of damp or accidental damage.
- Insurance – your goods are covered under goods in transit insurance when we move them and can be insured while in store.
- Professional handling – trained teams know how to move and stack safely.
- Reliability – formal contracts and consistent opening hours, not informal arrangements.
While a casual man-and-van might seem cheaper on the day, it rarely offers the same level of security, accountability or care for your business assets.
Insurance & Professional Standards
As an established storage and removals business, we operate to recognised industry standards. We maintain:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while our vehicles are transporting them to or from storage.
- Public liability cover for work carried out on your premises and on our site.
- Trained, professional staff who are experienced in handling business equipment, documents and furniture.
We’ll explain exactly what is covered and can arrange additional cover for high-value items where required. Our contracts are clear and written in plain English, so you know where you stand.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your business property as if it were our own. That means careful wrapping, sensible stacking and a tidy, well-managed facility. We use high-quality protective materials and encourage the reuse of crates and cartons wherever practical to reduce waste. Wherever possible, we select packaging that can be recycled and we minimise unnecessary journeys, planning collections and deliveries efficiently to reduce our environmental impact.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving Office
During an office move, it’s often easier to store non-essential items off-site. We can hold surplus furniture, archived files or seasonal equipment while you settle into your new space, then deliver it back as required.
Retail & Ecommerce Stock
Many Holloway shops and online retailers use our units as a secure backroom. You can keep fast-moving items close at hand and hold seasonal or bulk stock in storage, collecting or arranging deliveries as needed.
Urgent or Short-Notice Needs
Business circumstances can change quickly – a sudden office closure, an unexpected lease end or a large consignment arriving early. We do our best to offer rapid solutions, including same-day or next-day storage where capacity allows.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage in Holloway cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size of unit you need, how long you plan to stay and whether you require extras such as collection or shelving. Smaller units suitable for archive boxes or a modest amount of stock cost significantly less than larger spaces suitable for full office contents. We always provide a clear, itemised quote before you commit, and there are no hidden fees. Contact us with a rough idea of your volume, and we’ll suggest a unit size and estimated monthly cost.
Can you offer same-day or urgent business storage?
Where we have capacity, we can often arrange same-day or next-day storage for urgent situations, such as a sudden lease termination or delayed office fit-out. Call us as early as possible with details of what you need to store and whether you require collection. We’ll confirm availability, provide an immediate quotation and, if you wish to go ahead, reserve a unit and schedule transport. While we can’t guarantee same-day every time, we always do our utmost to find a practical solution.
What insurance cover is provided for my stored items?
When we transport your goods to or from our Holloway facility, they are protected by our goods in transit insurance. While in storage, basic cover may be included or arranged separately depending on the value and nature of your items. We’ll discuss this with you at the quotation stage so there are no surprises. If you have existing business insurance, your policy may already cover items kept in a recognised storage facility. We can provide documentation for your insurer if needed.
What’s included in your business storage service?
At its simplest, our service includes a clean, secure storage unit, access during opening hours and support from our on-site team. Many customers also choose optional services such as professional packing, collection and delivery, shelving or help with unloading. We advise on the most efficient way to store your goods and can assist with organising stock or archives. All customers benefit from our professional facility standards, including CCTV, alarms and controlled access, along with clear contracts and support from experienced staff.
How is this different from using a casual man-and-van and a lock-up?
A casual man-and-van arrangement usually offers little in terms of formal protection or accountability. Vehicles may not carry appropriate insurance, and storage in a basic lock-up or garage often lacks adequate security, fire safety and environmental controls. By contrast, we provide a purpose-built, monitored facility, insured transport, documented terms and trained handlers. This significantly reduces the risk of loss or damage to your business assets and makes it easier to evidence proper care and storage to your own clients and insurers.
How far in advance should I book business storage?
If you know you’ll need storage for a planned office move, refurbishment or seasonal peak, it’s sensible to reserve a unit at least a couple of weeks in advance, especially for larger spaces. However, we appreciate that business needs can change quickly, so we always keep some flexibility in our schedule. Even if your requirement is short notice, contact us and we’ll check current availability. The more information you can provide about volume and dates, the easier it is for us to secure a suitable unit and, if needed, organise transport.
