Our Step-by-Step Business Storage Process
We follow a clear, structured process to keep your storage move organised, safe and efficient.
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact our Selsdon office by phone or online with details of what you need to store, where from, and for how long. We ask a few straightforward questions about volume, access requirements and any special items. From there we provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, transport, and storage, with options for short or long-term stays.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex jobs, we carry out a professional survey. This can be done virtually via video call or in person at your premises in and around Selsdon. The survey allows us to assess access, parking, lifting requirements and the exact volume to be stored. This ensures we allocate the right unit size, the correct vehicle, and the right number of trained team members.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer flexible packing options. You can pack everything yourself, or our removals team can provide a full packing service using quality materials. Items are wrapped, boxed and labelled clearly to make retrieval straightforward. IT equipment and delicate stock receive extra padding and protection. We can also supply packing materials in advance if you prefer to pack in your own time.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our uniformed, fully insured team arrives at the agreed time, protecting floors and access routes as needed. Items are carefully loaded onto our vehicles, secured safely, and transported directly to our Selsdon storage facility. During transit, your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance for added peace of mind.
5. Unloading & Placement into Storage
At the facility, we unload and place your items into your allocated storage unit in an organised manner. We can position goods to allow easier access to frequently used items, and keep clear aisles where needed. Once everything is in place, we secure your unit and confirm access arrangements so you know exactly how and when you can visit.
Transparent Business Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote will set out:
- The size of storage unit and weekly or monthly rate.
- Collection and transport charges from your premises to our facility.
- Any packing services or materials you have requested.
- Optional services, such as additional collections, part-load deliveries, or access outside normal hours (where available).
Prices vary depending on unit size, length of stay, and the level of help you require. Longer-term storage and regular business customers can benefit from preferential rates. We are always happy to explain how costs are calculated so you can budget accurately.
Why Choose Professional Storage and Removals Over DIY
Using a professional removals and storage company offers several advantages compared with doing it yourself or relying on a casual man-and-van:
- Our team is trained in safe lifting and handling, reducing the risk of injury and damage.
- We provide appropriate vehicles, blankets, straps and trolleys for secure transport.
- Your items are covered by goods in transit insurance, which informal operators often do not provide.
- We plan access and loading properly, saving time and minimising disruption to your business.
- Our secure facility is purpose-built, unlike garages or ad-hoc spaces where security and conditions may be uncertain.
For commercial customers, the reliability, accountability and protection offered by a fully insured, established provider usually represent far better value over the full life of a storage project.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As an experienced removals and storage operator, we work to recognised professional standards and carry the necessary insurances to protect you and your goods.
- Goods in transit insurance covers your belongings while they are being moved between your premises and our Selsdon storage facility.
- Public liability cover protects you and your premises while our team is working on-site.
- Our staff are trained in safe handling, packing and loading techniques.
- Vehicles and equipment are maintained to a high standard for reliability and safety.
We take our duty of care seriously, and we are happy to discuss cover levels and procedures if you have specific compliance or auditing requirements.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your goods as if they were our own. Furniture and equipment are wrapped and protected; loads are secured properly in the vehicle; and units are kept clean, dry and well ventilated. We also aim to work responsibly:
- Using durable, reusable packing materials wherever possible.
- Recycling cardboard and materials at the end of their life.
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage.
- Encouraging customers to donate or recycle unwanted items rather than sending them to landfill.
This combination of careful handling and thoughtful planning helps extend the life of your equipment and reduce environmental impact.
Real-World Business Storage Use Cases
Our Selsdon business storage service is used in many different situations, such as:
- Office relocation – storing furniture and files between leases, or while fitting out a new workplace.
- Seasonal stock – keeping additional inventory safe between peak trading periods.
- Refurbishment projects – clearing rooms or entire premises while works are carried out.
- Moving house with a home business – separating business stock and equipment from household items during a move.
- Urgent moves – responding quickly when lease issues or emergencies mean you must clear a space at short notice.
Because we combine transport and storage, you only need one point of contact to organise everything from initial clearance through to redelivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage in Selsdon cost?
Costs depend mainly on the unit size you need, how long you plan to store for, and whether you require collection, packing or redelivery services. Smaller archive or stock units are naturally cheaper than large spaces suitable for full office contents. We price fairly and transparently, with discounts often available for longer-term or repeat business customers. After a short discussion or survey, we provide a written quotation that clearly shows storage charges, transport costs and any optional extras so you can make an informed decision.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
In many cases, yes. If we have unit availability and a vehicle free, we can arrange urgent or same-day business storage in and around Selsdon. This is particularly useful if you face an unexpected lease issue, emergency works or last-minute change of plans. The more detail you can provide when you call, the quicker we can respond. While we cannot guarantee same-day space every time, we will always prioritise urgent cases and offer the fastest practical solution, including short-notice collection where our schedule allows.
Are my goods insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your premises and our Selsdon facility. In addition, our public liability cover protects you and your property while our team is working on-site. For goods in storage, we maintain robust security measures and can discuss cover options in line with your valuation and risk requirements. We always recommend that high-value or critical items are correctly declared so we can ensure appropriate protection is in place during both transport and storage.
What is included in your business storage service?
Our standard service includes secure storage space in our Selsdon facility, plus the option of professional collection and transport. We can also provide packing materials, partial or full packing services, dismantling and reassembly of common office furniture, and organised placement within your unit for easy access. Access to your unit is arranged to suit your needs and our site opening hours. We do not include the storage of prohibited items, specialist hazardous goods handling, or insurance for undeclared high-value items, but we are happy to advise on suitable arrangements.
How does your service differ from a basic man-and-van?
Unlike casual man-and-van operators, we provide a complete, structured removals and storage service delivered by trained, uniformed staff. We use appropriate vehicles, professional packing materials and secure tie-down systems, and your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance. Our Selsdon facility is purpose-built for secure storage, with monitored access and proper environmental conditions. You receive clear paperwork, confirmed bookings and a point of contact throughout. Overall, this offers significantly more reliability, accountability and protection for your business assets than an informal transport-only service.
How far in advance should I book business storage?
Ideally, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly if you require a specific date, larger unit, or full packing services. This gives us time to complete any survey, arrange access permissions at your premises, and allocate the right team and vehicle. However, we understand that business needs can change quickly, so we always do our best to accommodate shorter notice bookings. Even if your plans are not fixed yet, it is sensible to speak with us early so we can pencil in options and advise on likely availability.
