Who Our Business Storage Service Is For
Although this is a business storage service, our facility and removals expertise also support a wide range of local clients:
Homeowners
Ideal when you are renovating, downsizing or in a chain and need to keep household items, furniture or hobby equipment safely out of the way for a period. We can combine storage with a full removals service when you are ready to move back in or on.
Renters
If you are between tenancies, relocating for work or heading abroad for a while, our secure units allow you to store your belongings without committing to a larger property. Collection, storage and re-delivery can all be handled by our trained teams.
Landlords
Our storage is ideal for spare furniture, white goods and fixtures between lets, or when changing a property from furnished to unfurnished. We can remove, store and later re-install items as your lettings needs change.
Businesses
From retailers and online sellers to professional offices and contractors, we provide flexible, commercial-grade storage with optional inventory support. Many clients use us for seasonal stock, archived paperwork, redundant IT or excess furniture after an office refit.
Students
Students often need short-term storage between terms or during a placement year. We can collect boxed belongings from local halls or houses, store them safely, and return them when you are ready to move back in.
Our Step-by-Step Storage and Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of what you need to store, where it is located and for how long. We will ask a few practical questions and then provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering storage space, transport and any packing required.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger volumes or business-critical items, we recommend a survey. This can be done virtually via video call or in person at your premises. The survey allows us to assess access, parking, lift sizes, staircases and any special handling requirements, so we can send an appropriately sized vehicle and the right number of professional movers.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or our trained team can provide a full or partial packing service. We supply sturdy boxes, tape, protective wrapping and labels. Fragile items, IT equipment and office furniture are carefully wrapped, dismantled where necessary and prepared for transport to minimise risk during handling and storage.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our crew arrives on time in sign-written vehicles. We protect floors and doorways, carefully load your items and secure them for transit. The vehicle travels directly to our Malden Rushett storage facility, where your goods are checked in and placed in a suitable, dry and secure unit.
5. Unloading, Placement & Return
For storage-in, we place items in your allocated unit logically, so that key items can be accessed first when needed. When you are ready to have items returned, we simply reverse the process – collecting from your unit, transporting them back and placing them carefully into your new property or premises, room by room where required.
Transparent Pricing for Business Storage
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will usually include:
- Monthly storage charge based on the space you actually need
- Collection and return transport costs
- Optional packing materials and packing service
- Any additional handling for unusual or heavy items
There are no hidden admin or access fees. Rates vary depending on volume, duration and access needs, so we build a package that matches your situation rather than forcing you into a fixed-size unit. Longer-term storage and regular business users may qualify for preferential rates.
Why Use a Professional Storage & Removals Service Instead of DIY
While it can be tempting to hire a casual man-and-van or stack items in a friend’s garage, there are clear advantages to using a fully insured, professional provider:
- Proper vehicles and handling equipment reduce the risk of damage
- Trained staff know how to lift, carry and stack items safely
- Goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while we move them
- Our facility has monitored security and controlled access
- Professional inventory and labelling minimise the chance of loss
- Clear contracts and documentation protect your business interests
DIY approaches often cost more in the long run once you factor in vehicle hire, time off work, damaged stock and uninsured risks.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Storage Malden Rushett operates to recognised industry standards. We maintain:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while being moved between premises and our storage facility
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property during our work
- Trained moving teams with experience in handling office, retail and domestic items
We carry out regular staff training on safe lifting, packing techniques and customer care. Our vehicles are well maintained, and our storage areas are kept clean, dry and secure for the duration of your stay.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own. Protective materials, floor coverings and careful stacking are standard, not extras. Where possible, we use reusable crates and recyclable packing materials to reduce waste. We also plan routes sensibly to cut unnecessary mileage and emissions. For businesses, this can support your own sustainability commitments and environmental policies.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House with Storage
When completion dates do not align, we can move your household items into storage in Malden Rushett, then deliver them to your new home when the keys are ready. This avoids rushed decisions or last-minute panics if the chain slips.
Office Relocation and Refits
Businesses undergoing refurbishment or relocation often need temporary storage for desks, chairs, files and IT equipment. We can collect, store and re-deliver everything to your new layout, working around your schedule to minimise downtime.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes you receive short-notice instructions to vacate a property or clear a site. Because we are local and operate our own crews, we can often provide rapid storage and removals support, subject to availability. We help you stabilise the situation first, then plan a more measured long-term solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you need it for and whether you require collection, packing or redelivery services. We charge a monthly storage fee based on volume, plus any transport or packing you choose. Longer-term and repeat business customers can often secure more favourable rates. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us with a rough item list or photos; we will then provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
Subject to space and crew availability, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice storage in Malden Rushett. This is particularly useful if you face an unexpected deadline to vacate premises or need to clear stock rapidly. Call us as early as possible, explain the situation and we will prioritise an appropriate vehicle, crew and unit size. While we cannot guarantee same-day slots at all times, we will always be honest about what is realistic and propose the quickest workable solution.
Are my items insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance while our team is transporting your items, and our facility is covered by appropriate policies while your goods are stored. This is designed to sit alongside your own business or home insurance. During the quotation stage, we will explain the cover levels, any exclusions and what information we need about high-value items. You are welcome to add additional cover via your own insurer if you wish to increase limits for particularly expensive equipment or stock.
What is included in your removals and storage service?
Our standard service includes collection from your premises, careful loading by trained staff, secure transport to our Malden Rushett facility, unloading into a suitable unit and secure storage for the agreed period. On return, we reverse the process and place items into the rooms or areas you specify. Optional extras include packing materials, full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture and additional handling for specialist items. Everything included will be clearly listed in your written quotation and confirmation.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with no dedicated storage facility, limited insurance and variable standards. By contrast, we provide a managed, end-to-end service with professional crews, secure units and clear documentation. We are fully insured, use appropriate vehicles and equipment, and operate from a fixed Malden Rushett base you can visit. That means greater accountability, better protection for your belongings and more predictable outcomes – particularly important for businesses and time-critical moves.
How far in advance should I book?
For planned projects such as office moves, refurbishments or house moves, we recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance to secure your ideal dates and ensure suitable unit space is available. However, we understand that not all situations are predictable. If you have a last-minute requirement, contact us as soon as possible and we will do our best to accommodate you. The earlier we know your likely dates and volumes, the more options and flexibility we can offer.
