Professional Business Storage Tailored to Your Company
Business storage is more than just a lock-up. It’s about protecting your assets, keeping your operations efficient, and giving you room to grow.

- Larger firms requiring overflow space during refurbishments or relocations
All storage is managed by our trained, professional team and covered by appropriate goods in transit and public liability insurance.
Local Expertise: Business Storage in New Addington
We know New Addington inside out – from small industrial units and retail parades to home-based start-ups. This local knowledge means we can plan collections and deliveries at times that minimise disruption, navigate local access issues, and work efficiently with nearby business parks and premises.
Because we’re based in the area, we can also respond quickly to urgent or last-minute storage needs. If you suddenly need space for an incoming shipment, a temporary clearance, or a short-notice office move, we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
Who Our Business Storage Service Is For
Homeowners & Renters Running a Business from Home
If your stock or work materials are taking over the spare room or garage, our business storage lets you reclaim your home without limiting your business. We can collect directly from your property in New Addington and return items as required.
Landlords
For landlords managing furnished lets, we can store furniture and appliances between tenancies, or during refurbishments. We’ll collect items from the property, store them securely, and return them when needed, saving you from costly re‑purchasing and cluttered garages.
Businesses & Offices
From single offices to multi-site companies, we provide storage for:
- Surplus furniture and equipment
- Seasonal or promotional stock
- Archived files and records
- Exhibition and event materials
We can coordinate directly with your facilities or office manager to schedule regular collections and deliveries.
Students
Students running small online shops or side businesses often lack secure space. We offer affordable, short-term storage for stock, samples, and equipment while you’re studying or away during holidays.

Our Step-by-Step Business Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of what you need to store, approximate volumes, and the expected duration. We’ll ask a few focused questions about access, item types, and timing, then provide a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex jobs, we carry out a short survey. This can be virtual (video call with photos) or onsite in New Addington and surrounding areas. The survey ensures we send the right size vehicle, enough staff, and appropriate packing materials.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, our trained team arrives on time, introduces themselves, and walks through the plan with you. We can provide full packing, part packing, or simply load items you’ve pre-packed. Fragile and high-value business assets are wrapped and protected using professional materials.
4. Loading & Transport
We load systematically, ensuring everything is clearly labelled and protected for transport. Vehicles are clean and maintained, and your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while on the move. We then transport your items directly to our secure storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the warehouse, we unload and place your items into the allocated storage area, following any labelling or access instructions we’ve agreed. If requested, we produce an inventory list so you always know what’s in storage and where it is located.
Transparent Pricing for Business Storage
We believe in straightforward, understandable pricing. Your quote will typically include:
- Collection and transport costs (based on time, distance and team size)
- Storage charges (usually per unit of space per week or month)
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Optional inventory and retrieval services
There are no hidden fees for basic access or standard handling. Any additional services, such as frequent deliveries or specialist packing, will be clearly itemised in advance.
Why Use Professional Business Storage Instead of DIY or Man-and-Van?
While a casual man-and-van or self-storage unit can seem cheaper at first glance, they often cost more in downtime, damage and disruption. With us, you get:
- Trained staff who know how to handle business equipment safely
- Reliable scheduling, so your operations aren’t held up
- Fully insured transport and storage, not a vague promise
- Proper documentation and inventory if required
- A single point of contact who understands your business needs
DIY involving your own staff can expose you to injury risks, vehicle costs, and lost productivity. Our service keeps your team focused on their jobs while we handle the physical work.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Protecting your business assets is at the heart of what we do. We maintain:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while being moved
- Public liability cover for work at your premises and ours
- Trained, uniformed staff following best practice handling and lifting techniques
We operate with clear paperwork, agreed terms and conditions, and open communication, so you always know where you stand and what is covered.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your business property as if it were our own. That means careful handling, appropriate packing, and secure stacking in storage to avoid crush damage or warping.
Where possible, we use reusable crates, recycled packing materials, and efficient route planning to reduce fuel use. We also encourage clients to re-use cartons and materials for multiple moves or storage periods where practical, to cut down on waste.
Real-World Business Storage Use Cases
Moving or Refurbishing Your Office
If you’re relocating or refurbishing an office in New Addington, we can remove and store furniture and equipment in stages, keeping essential items accessible. When the new space is ready, we deliver and place everything according to your floor plan.
Seasonal or Fluctuating Stock
Retailers and online sellers often need extra storage ahead of peak periods. We can bring in additional stock, store it securely, and deliver it in batches as you need it, preventing shop or home overcrowding.
Urgent or Same-Day Storage
Occasionally, situations arise where you must clear a space quickly – lease endings, emergency repairs, or unexpected deliveries. Subject to availability, we offer same-day or next-day collection in New Addington, moving items into temporary storage until you decide the next step.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage in New Addington cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much space you need, how long you need it for, and whether you require collection, packing or regular deliveries. We usually price storage per unit of space per week or month, with collection and transport quoted separately based on time and distance. For many small businesses, the monthly cost is less than renting extra commercial space. We’ll provide a clear, written quote upfront so you can budget accurately with no surprises.
Can you provide same-day or urgent business storage?
In many cases, yes. Because we are local to New Addington, we can often arrange same-day or next-day collection when urgent storage is needed – for example, end-of-lease clearances, emergency repairs, or unexpected deliveries. Availability does depend on our existing schedule and the scale of the job, but we’ll always be honest about what we can achieve and suggest the quickest practical option. Calling us as early as possible in the day gives the best chance of securing a same-day slot.
Are my business items insured while in storage?
Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while we’re moving them, and we hold public liability cover for work at your premises and ours. For items in storage, we maintain appropriate cover for our facility; however, high-value or specialist equipment may need to be declared or covered by your own business policy. We’ll explain exactly what is included, any limits, and how to arrange additional cover if needed, so there are no gaps in protection for critical business assets.
What is included in your business storage service?
As standard, we can provide collection from your premises in New Addington, careful loading by a professional team, transport to our secure facility, and placement into storage. On request, we also offer packing services, supply of cartons and crates, detailed inventories, and scheduled or ad hoc redeliveries. You choose how comprehensive the service should be: some businesses want a full managed solution, others prefer basic storage with occasional access. We’ll tailor the package so you only pay for what you genuinely need.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with little formal protection if something goes wrong. Our service is built around business needs: trained staff, appropriate insurance, secure storage facilities, and clear documentation. We understand handling office equipment, stock and archives, and we plan moves to minimise disruption. We also offer ongoing storage, not just a one-off trip, with the option for scheduled deliveries and collections. In short, you get reliability, accountability and a professional standard of care that informal operators simply can’t match.
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, especially if you need specific dates or larger vehicles. That said, we know business doesn’t always run to schedule, and we keep some flexibility for shorter-notice work in New Addington. If you have an urgent requirement, contact us as soon as you can – we’ll check availability immediately and either accommodate you or propose the nearest possible alternative date.
