How Our Business Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact our Somers Town office by phone, email or online form. We will ask about the type and volume of items, how long you expect to store them and any access requirements. Based on this, we recommend an appropriate unit size and provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex jobs, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This helps us assess access, parking, lift usage and any special handling needs, such as IT equipment or archive systems. The survey allows us to plan the right team, vehicle and protective materials, so moving your goods into storage is smooth and efficient.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Self-packed storage – you pack your own items using your materials or our supplied boxes and wraps.
- Professional packing – our trained team packs and labels everything for you, using suitable cartons, bubble wrap and covers.
We strongly recommend professional packing for IT equipment, fragile stock and mixed office contents, as this reduces the risk of damage and speeds up future retrieval.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
On the agreed day, our crew arrives on time with the appropriate vehicle. We protect floors and common areas where required, and carefully load your goods, ensuring heavy items are secured and fragile pieces are cushioned. Everything is transported directly to our Somers Town storage facility under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement in Your Unit
At the facility, we unload and stack items safely in your allocated unit, maximising space while keeping essentials accessible. If we have packed and inventoried your goods, we can also place key items towards the front for easier access. Once complete, we lock and secure the unit and provide you with the necessary access arrangements.
Transparent Business Storage Pricing
We know that businesses need clear, predictable costs. Our pricing is based on:
- Unit size (measured in square or cubic feet).
- Length of stay – short-term, rolling monthly or longer fixed terms.
- Additional services – professional packing, collection, delivery and any specialist handling.
There are no hidden administrative or access charges. Before you commit, you receive a written quote setting out your weekly or monthly rate, plus any one-off collection or packing fees. For longer-term storage or multiple units, we can discuss tailored rates.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Using a professional storage and removals provider gives you control, protection and accountability that DIY or casual services rarely match:
- Security – monitored facilities, controlled access and secure locks, not a makeshift garage or shed.
- Insurance – clear goods in transit insurance and storage cover, backed by proper documentation.
- Trained teams – experienced handlers who understand safe lifting, stacking and protection.
- Reliability – scheduled bookings, punctual arrivals and a permanent, local office.
- Traceability – inventory options and organised placement for easier retrieval.
For businesses, the cost of damaged stock, lost files or missed deliveries can easily outweigh the small saving of a budget man-and-van arrangement.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Storage Somers Town operates to clear standards designed to protect your business interests:
- Goods in transit insurance – your items are covered while being collected and delivered between your premises and our facility, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – protecting you and third parties while we are working on-site at your address.
- Trained moving teams – staff are trained in manual handling, safe stacking, and the use of protective materials.
- Documented processes – from booking to invoicing, you receive clear paperwork for your records.
We are always happy to explain cover levels and, where necessary, can discuss additional protection for high-value consignments.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat stored items with the same care as a full removal. Furniture is wrapped or covered, boxed items are stacked safely, and walkways within the unit are kept clear where practical. We take particular care with electronics and sensitive items, recommending appropriate packing and positioning.
Where possible, we use reusable crates, durable furniture blankets and recyclable cardboard. Many of our packing materials are sourced with sustainability in mind, and we encourage customers to reuse boxes. We also plan collection routes carefully to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions across Somers Town and surrounding areas.
Real-World Uses of Our Business Storage Service
- Moving house – temporary storage when completion dates do not align, or while decorating your new property.
- Office relocation – decanting furniture and equipment in stages to minimise disruption to staff.
- Stock overflow – additional space for peak seasons, sales events or when suppliers deliver in bulk.
- Project work – secure storage of materials, samples and equipment for medium-term contracts.
- Urgent moves – short-notice clear-outs where items need to be removed quickly and held safely until plans are finalised.
Because we provide both removals and storage, we can manage the entire process – from collection to storage to final delivery – under one coordinated plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage in Somers Town cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size of unit you require and how long you need it for. Smaller units suitable for documents or a modest amount of stock are understandably cheaper than larger spaces that can hold full office contents. Collection, packing and any specialist handling are priced separately so you only pay for what you actually need. We will discuss your requirements, recommend a sensible unit size and provide a clear written quote before you commit to anything, so you can budget with confidence.
Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?
Where availability allows, we can arrange same-day or short-notice storage for urgent situations such as last-minute office clearances, tenancy changes or unexpected delays with new premises. The key is to contact us as early in the day as possible so we can check space, allocate a vehicle and schedule a crew. While we cannot guarantee same-day slots every time, we will always be honest about what is achievable and offer the quickest practical option for your circumstances.
What insurance cover is included?
Our service includes goods in transit insurance for your items while they are being moved between your premises and our facility, as well as public liability cover while our team is working on-site. Standard storage cover applies while your goods are in our units, subject to policy limits and exclusions. During quotation we explain the level of protection in plain terms, and for high-value consignments we can discuss options for increased cover or recommend how to arrange separate insurance if required.
What is included in your business storage service?
As standard, you receive a secure, clean storage unit in our Somers Town facility, with agreed access arrangements and clear monthly or weekly billing. Many customers also choose our collection and delivery service, where our professional team transports your goods to and from storage. Optional extras include packing materials, full or partial professional packing, and inventory preparation for large or complex moves. We will tailor the service so you are not paying for features you do not need, while ensuring your goods are properly protected.
How does your service differ from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without dedicated storage, formal insurance, or professional handling standards. By contrast, we operate a secure facility in Somers Town, use trained staff, provide documented insurance cover and follow established procedures for packing, loading and stacking. You also benefit from clear contracts, invoicing and customer support. For businesses especially, this level of structure, accountability and care significantly reduces the risk of damage, loss and disruption compared with an informal arrangement.
How far in advance should I book storage?
Where possible, we suggest booking at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly during busier periods such as month-end, summer and around university term dates. This gives you the widest choice of unit sizes and preferred collection times. However, we understand that business needs can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice. Even if your dates are not fixed, it is worth speaking to us early so we can pencil in provisional arrangements and adjust them as your plans firm up.
