Local Expertise in the Farringdon Area
Operating in and around Farringdon for years, we know the local business community, building layouts and access restrictions inside out. Many of our regular customers are based in nearby offices, co-working spaces, studios and retail units.
Our local knowledge allows us to plan collections and deliveries efficiently, avoiding congestion where possible and working around loading restrictions. For tight city-centre sites, we can provide smaller vehicles and extra trained, professional staff to manage stairs, narrow access and shared entrances with minimal disruption.
Who Our Business Storage Service Is For
Although this service is focused on commercial storage, we work with a wide range of people and organisations across Farringdon and central London:
Homeowners
Store furniture and belongings during home renovations, loft conversions or between house moves. Using our business-grade facility means higher security and professional handling of larger items.
Renters
If you’re between rentals or downsizing, use our units to keep non-essential items safe until you are settled. We can coordinate collection from your flat and delivery to your new address.
Landlords
Keep furniture, appliances and fixtures in storage between tenancies, or while refurbishing a property. It avoids cluttering garages or common areas and keeps everything clearly inventoried.
Businesses
From sole traders to larger firms, our business storage is ideal for stock, marketing materials, office furniture, event equipment, tools and archive files. We can combine storage with regular collections and deliveries.
Students
Although designed for businesses, students often use our secure units to store belongings over the summer, during placements or when studying abroad for a term.
What You Can Store with Us
Our facility is suitable for a wide range of items, provided they meet safety and legal requirements. Typical items include:
- Office furniture – desks, chairs, pedestals, meeting tables

- Retail stock – boxed products, clothing, display stands
- Marketing materials – exhibition stands, banners, brochures
- Tools and equipment – for trades, fit-out projects and events

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you before your booking so everything remains compliant and fully insured.
Our Step-by-Step Business Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with details of what you need to store, approximate volume, and your timescales. We discuss access at your site, any packing requirements and whether you need a one-off or ongoing service. Based on this, we provide a clear, written quotation outlining storage charges, collection costs and any optional services.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger volumes or complex sites, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to measure accurately, assess parking and access, and plan the right size unit and vehicle. A survey minimises surprises on the day, keeps costs transparent and ensures we send a suitably trained team with the right equipment.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own goods, or our professional team can do it for you. We supply quality cartons, archive boxes, bubble wrap and protective covers. For business customers, we can create a simple inventory, label boxes by department or project, and ensure fragile or high-value items are wrapped and protected appropriately.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our movers arrive at the agreed time, protect floors and key access routes, and systematically load your items. Everything is secured within the vehicle to prevent movement during transit. Your goods are then transported directly to our Farringdon facility under goods in transit insurance, following agreed routes and timeframes.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
On arrival, we unload carefully, placing items in your allocated unit in a logical order to make later access easier. If required, we can keep a copy of the inventory for you and highlight any pallets or boxes you are likely to need first. When you are ready to have items returned, we reverse the process and deliver back to your chosen address.
Transparent Pricing for Business Storage
We believe in clear, no-surprise pricing. Your quote will usually cover:
- Monthly storage fee based on unit size and duration
- Collection and transport charges (and delivery back if required)
- Optional packing materials and packing service
Costs are influenced by volume, access, distance to your site and how much help you need from our team. We do not charge hidden admin fees, and any changes (such as increasing or reducing unit size) are discussed and confirmed before they take effect.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using a professional storage and removals company offers significant advantages over hiring a cheap van or using an unregulated operator:
- Fully insured service including goods in transit and public liability
- Trained staff who know how to handle heavy or delicate items safely
- Proper packing materials and techniques to reduce damage
- Secure, monitored storage facility rather than a random garage or lock-up
- Reliable bookings, documented agreements and clear accountability
For businesses in particular, the cost of lost or damaged stock, IT or files can far exceed any savings from a casual man-and-van.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to recognised industry standards and take our responsibilities seriously:
- Goods in transit insurance covers your belongings while being moved to and from storage.
- Public liability cover protects you and your premises in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury.
- Our teams are trained in lifting techniques, loading, securing and protection of goods.
- Vehicles are regularly maintained and equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys.
We are happy to share policy details and, where necessary, adjust cover limits to meet corporate requirements.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your goods as if they were our own. Floors, walls and lifts are protected where needed, and we take particular care with IT, glass and sensitive equipment. We also work to reduce waste and environmental impact wherever possible by:
- Reusing durable packing materials where appropriate
- Offering reusable crates as an alternative to single-use boxes
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce mileage
- Recycling unwanted items through approved local partners where requested
Real-World Uses for Our Business Storage Service
Moving Office in Farringdon
During an office move, using our storage avoids overcrowded temporary spaces. You can phase the move, storing non-essential items while fit-out works are completed, then taking delivery only when you are ready.
Retail and E‑Commerce Stock Storage
Retailers and online sellers use our units as overflow stock rooms, particularly during busy seasons. We can coordinate collections after deliveries from your suppliers and return items to your shop or office as needed.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
If you are given short notice to vacate a property, or a lease ends unexpectedly, our facility acts as a safe interim solution. We can often provide rapid collection and immediate storage so you avoid rushed decisions about disposal or unsuitable premises.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage in Farringdon cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size of unit you need, how long you require it for, and whether you want us to handle collection, packing and delivery. Smaller units for document archives or modest stock are generally very cost-effective, while larger units for furniture and equipment are priced per square foot or per unit size. We provide a clear written quote with storage fees, transport costs and any optional extras itemised, so you can budget accurately and compare options before committing.
Can you offer same-day or urgent collection into storage?
In many cases, yes. If you need urgent storage due to an unexpected lease end, office issue or last-minute change of plans, contact us as early in the day as possible. We will check vehicle and crew availability and, where we can, prioritise an emergency collection. Same-day moves are subject to access, volume and distance, but our local Farringdon base and experienced coordinators mean we can usually respond quickly and propose a realistic plan, even on short notice.
Are my goods insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for your items while they are being moved to and from our facility, and cover for goods while stored, subject to agreed value limits and standard terms. We also hold public liability insurance for work carried out on your premises. During the quotation stage, we will explain the level of cover included and can often increase limits if you have higher-value equipment or stock. You will receive documentation confirming the cover for your records.
What is included in your business storage service?
At its core, our service includes secure, monitored storage space in our Farringdon facility, plus access during agreed hours. Most business clients also choose collection and delivery by our professional removals team, with vehicles, equipment and protective materials supplied. We can add packing, inventory creation, supply of cartons or crates, and staged deliveries as optional extras. Your quote will list precisely what is included, so you can decide whether to handle any elements yourself or leave the entire process to us.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without formal contracts, limited insurance and no dedicated storage facility. We provide a complete service: secure, managed units, trained staff, proper packing, documented inventories and clear insurance cover. Our teams are experienced in handling commercial goods and navigating central London properties. For businesses, this means far fewer risks around damage, loss or disruption, and a professional partner who can support repeat moves and long-term storage requirements reliably.
How far in advance should I book business storage?
We recommend booking as soon as you know you will need storage, especially if you are planning a large office move or require specific dates. One to two weeks’ notice usually allows us to carry out a survey, finalise your quote and reserve the right unit size and team. However, we understand that projects change, and we can often accommodate shorter notice. The earlier you contact us, the easier it is to secure your preferred dates and the most efficient plan.
