How Our Business Storage Service Works – Step by Step
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few straightforward questions about volume, value and access requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with all costs explained.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
If you are unsure what size unit you require, we can arrange a quick virtual survey using photos or video, or an onsite visit if you prefer. With years of experience, we can usually specify an accurate unit size and layout to avoid you overpaying for unused space.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can handle the packing yourself or we can recommend professional packing services. We always suggest using sturdy boxes, bubble wrap and proper labelling so your items are protected and easy to locate. Pallets and shelving can be arranged to help keep stock organised and off the floor.
4. Loading & Transport
Bring your items to our Tufnell Park facility using your own vehicle, or we can coordinate a trusted removals partner to collect from your premises. Our wide access and trolleys make loading and unloading straightforward, even for heavier or bulkier pieces.
5. Unloading & Placement in Your Unit
Once onsite, our team will show you to your unit and explain how to use the access system. We can guide you on the best way to stack and position items to maximise space and minimise handling. You keep your own lock and key or code, so you control who can access your goods.
Transparent Pricing for Business Storage
We know that predictable costs are important, especially for smaller firms. Our pricing is based mainly on:
- Unit size and configuration
- Length of stay (short or long term)
- Level of access required (standard or extended hours)
There are no hidden administration or access fees. Your quote sets out the weekly or monthly cost, any introductory offers, and optional services such as insurance or shelving. You can upgrade or downsize your unit as your needs change, so you only pay for the space you actually use.
Why Use Professional Business Storage Instead of DIY Options?
Trying to use garages, spare rooms, or makeshift space in your premises can quickly become messy, insecure and non-compliant with fire or insurance rules. With our dedicated business storage:
- Your goods are held in a fully insured, purpose-built facility.
- Environmental conditions are controlled to keep items clean and dry.
- Access is logged and restricted to authorised users.
- You free up working areas, making your main premises safer and more productive.
Compared to casual man-and-van or ad hoc storage, you benefit from proper documentation, clear terms and support from trained staff who deal with commercial clients every day.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take the security and protection of your business assets seriously. Our facility operates to high standards, including:
- Goods in transit insurance available when we arrange collection through our trusted partners.
- Public liability cover for activity on our premises.
- Modern CCTV systems and secure access control.
- Trained team members who understand correct handling and storage practices.
We will explain the level of cover included and any optional top-ups so you can make an informed decision based on the value and nature of your items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Our approach is focused on long-term care of your goods and responsible operation:
- Clean, regularly maintained units to prevent damp and dust build-up.
- Recommended packing methods to reduce damage and waste.
- Use of reusable crates and durable materials where possible to cut down on single-use packaging.
- Efficient use of space so you are not paying to store thin air.
By storing business items properly, you reduce the likelihood of breakages and avoid having to replace equipment and stock unnecessarily, which is both cost-effective and more sustainable.
Real-World Business Storage Use Cases
Moving Office
When relocating within London, timelines often do not line up perfectly. Our units act as a secure buffer, allowing you to move non-essential items out first, keep your staff working safely, and then stage the move into the new premises on your own schedule.
Retail and E-commerce Stock
Retailers and online sellers in Tufnell Park use our facility as an extension of their stockroom. Bulk deliveries can come in when prices are right, with items held securely until needed in store or shipped out to customers.
Urgent or Short-Notice Storage
Occasionally businesses face sudden events such as building works, flooding, or loss of premises. We can usually arrange a unit very quickly, giving you a safe, dry place for equipment and records while you resolve the situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage in Tufnell Park cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need, how long you plan to store for, and whether you require any additional services such as shelving or collection. As a guide, smaller units for documents or a few boxes cost less than large units designed for full office contents or extensive stock. We price on a weekly or monthly basis with discounts for longer commitments. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us with a rough inventory, and we will provide a clear, itemised quote.
Can you provide same-day or urgent business storage?
In many cases we can arrange same-day or next-day storage, particularly for smaller to medium-sized units. Availability does vary depending on current occupancy, but we always do our best to accommodate urgent situations such as sudden office works, lease issues or flood damage. If you need rapid storage, call us as early in the day as possible. We can talk you through the sizes available, reserve a unit, and, if required, help coordinate a removals partner to collect and deliver your items promptly.
Is my business stock or equipment insured while in storage?
We operate with comprehensive site security and our own public liability cover, but insurance for the actual contents of your unit is typically arranged either through your existing business policy or a specific storage policy. We can explain the options and, where appropriate, offer goods in transit insurance when we organise collection. It is important that the declared value of your goods is accurate so cover is sufficient. Our team will help you understand what is and is not covered, and provide documentation for your records.
What is included in your business storage service?
Our standard service includes a clean, dry, individual unit at our Tufnell Park facility, access during agreed hours, use of trolleys and handling equipment on site, and support from our professional staff. We provide clear contracts, security measures such as CCTV and controlled entry, and straightforward billing. Optional extras, such as collection and delivery, packaging materials, shelving and extended access, can be arranged as needed. We will always set out what is included in your quote so you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van or ad hoc storage?
A casual man-and-van service may move your items, but it rarely offers the secure, managed environment that a dedicated storage facility does. With us, you have a properly constructed unit, documented terms, and support from trained staff. Security, access control and insurance arrangements are much clearer, which is vital for business assets and records. You also have the flexibility to access your goods when needed, rather than relying on a third party to retrieve them. Overall, it is a more reliable and accountable option for commercial use.
How far in advance should I book business storage?
For planned projects such as office moves or seasonal stock, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance to secure the exact unit size and any additional services you need. This also allows time for a survey and proper packing. However, we understand that business circumstances can change quickly, so we keep some flexibility for short-notice requirements. Even if your dates are not fixed, it is worth speaking to us early so we can advise on availability and pencil in provisional arrangements.
