Our Step-by-Step Business Storage Process

We use a clear, structured process so you know exactly what will happen at every stage.

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact Storage Keston by phone or through our website. We discuss your business type, what you need to store, approximate quantities and how long for. Based on this, we provide a transparent, no-obligation quotation for storage and, if required, collection and delivery.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex jobs, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey at your office, warehouse or home. This allows our trained surveyor to assess access, parking, lift use and any special handling requirements, and to confirm the right unit size and number of staff needed for moving days.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own items, or we can provide a packing service. Our teams can supply professional boxes, crates and packaging materials designed for office equipment, documents and stock. Fragile and high-value items are wrapped carefully, labelled and, where needed, listed for your inventory.

4. Loading & Transport

On the agreed date, our professional crew arrives on time, protects floors and access routes where necessary, and loads your goods carefully. Everything is secured in our vehicles with blankets and straps. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while on the move between your premises and our Keston facility.

5. Unloading & Placement in Storage

At our facility, your items are unloaded and placed methodically into your allocated storage unit. We stack and position goods to make efficient use of the space while keeping important items accessible where possible. We can work with your own inventory or help create one, so you always know what is in storage.

Transparent Pricing for Business Storage

We believe in clear, predictable costs. Our business storage pricing in Keston is based on:

• Size of the storage unit.
• Length of stay (short- or long-term).
• Whether you require collection, delivery, or both.
• Any additional services such as packing or specialist handling.

There are no hidden extras: all charges are explained before you commit. Longer-term customers and larger contracts can often benefit from agreed rates. We are always happy to walk you through the estimate line by line so you can budget with confidence.

Why Choose Professional Business Storage Instead of DIY

DIY storage using a friend’s garage or a basic man-and-van might appear cheaper, but it often leads to damaged stock, misplaced documents and unsuitable conditions. With Storage Keston, you benefit from:

• Trained teams who handle, load and stack commercial items correctly.
• Secure, purpose-built storage rather than damp sheds or ad hoc spaces.
• Proper goods in transit insurance and public liability cover.
• Documented processes and inventory support so you stay in control.
• Reliable, scheduled service – no waiting on favours or uncertain availability.

Using a professional storage provider also frees your own staff to focus on work rather than lifting, driving and organising boxes.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We operate to recognised industry standards and take our responsibilities seriously:

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being moved by our vehicles between your premises and our facility.
• Public liability cover – protects you and your premises while our staff are working onsite.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in moving office furniture, IT equipment and commercial stock safely.

We are transparent about the level of cover provided and will explain how it works in practice, including any limits and options for additional insurance if needed for very high-value items.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We are committed to handling your business items with care while reducing environmental impact where we realistically can:

• Using reusable crates and blankets to minimise single-use packaging.
• Recycling suitable cardboard and materials from moves and clearances.
• Planning efficient routes to reduce unnecessary vehicle mileage.
• Encouraging customers to reuse boxes where safe and practical.

Inside our facility, units are kept clean and dry, and we regularly check for any issues so your furniture, equipment and documents remain in the best possible condition over time.

Typical Business Storage Use Cases

Moving Office or Commercial Premises

During an office move in or around Keston, dates rarely line up perfectly. Our storage units provide a safe holding space for furniture, files and IT kit between leases or refurbishment phases. This reduces pressure on move dates and allows your new premises to be set up in stages.

Refurbishments and Fit-Outs

When refurbishing or fitting out a workspace, it is rarely practical to keep everything on site. We can remove and store your existing furniture and equipment while builders, decorators and fit-out teams work. Once the job is complete, we deliver items back in an agreed order.

Seasonal or Project-Based Stock

Retailers, event companies and tradespeople often experience peaks in stock or equipment for certain projects. Rather than clogging up your main workspace, you can keep overflow items in our Keston facility and access them as you need.

Urgent and Short-Notice Storage

Business changes are not always planned. You may lose a lease unexpectedly, need to clear a site quickly, or face a flood or other incident. Subject to availability, we can often arrange emergency collection and storage at short notice, giving you breathing space to plan next steps properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does business storage in Keston cost?

The cost of business storage depends mainly on the size of unit you require, how long you need it for, and whether you want us to handle collection and delivery. Smaller units for a few boxes of files or equipment are naturally cheaper than large spaces for full office contents. We provide clear, itemised quotations so you can see how the price is built up. There are no hidden extras, and we are happy to discuss options to fit within a set budget or compare different unit sizes.

Can you provide same-day or urgent business storage?

In many cases, yes. If we have suitable unit availability and a crew free, we can arrange urgent or even same-day storage for your business items. This is particularly useful if you have to vacate a property at short notice or need to clear space quickly for safety or compliance reasons. The best approach is to call us as early in the day as possible so we can check schedules and allocate staff and vehicles. We will always be honest about what we can realistically achieve.

What insurance cover do you provide for stored business items?

When our team transports your items to or from our facility, they are protected by our goods in transit insurance. While your goods are in our care during loading and unloading, our public liability cover also applies. Many customers’ items are additionally covered under their own business or contents policies while in storage. We will explain our standard cover, including limits and exclusions, and you can then discuss with your insurer if extra protection is appropriate for particularly high-value equipment or stock.

What exactly is included in your business storage service?

Our core business storage service includes a secure, dry unit in our Keston facility, professional advice on choosing the right size, and access during agreed opening hours. You can add optional services such as collection, delivery, packing, supply of boxes and materials, and assistance with inventory listing. During any move we complete, your items are handled by trained staff and covered by our transit insurance. We will confirm exactly what is included in your quotation so you know what you are paying for and can tailor the service to suit your needs.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van service typically offers transport only, with limited or no insurance and no dedicated storage facilities. By contrast, we provide purpose-built storage units, professional handling, documented processes and proper insurance cover. Our teams are experienced in moving business items, not just household goods. We also offer planning support, surveys and clear contracts, which are important when you are responsible for company property, client files or valuable stock. This level of structure and accountability is what most businesses need, especially during moves or critical projects.

How far in advance should I book business storage?

For planned office moves or refurbishments, we recommend booking several weeks in advance, especially if you require a larger unit or specific moving dates. This gives us time to carry out surveys, plan staffing and secure the right space for you. However, we appreciate that business needs can change quickly, and we will always try to accommodate late notice where possible. Even if your dates are not fixed yet, it is sensible to speak to us early so we can discuss options, estimate volumes and provisionally reserve capacity at our Keston facility.
