Professional Business Storage Services in Old Malden
Our business storage is designed around the way you actually work. Whether you are a growing online retailer, a local trades business, an office-based firm or a national company needing a satellite storage point in Old Malden, we tailor our service to fit.
We combine secure warehousing with our professional removals experience, so we do more than simply rent you space. We can collect, store and redeliver your items using trained teams, purpose-built vehicles and robust handling procedures.
Who Our Business Storage Is For
Homeowners Running a Business from Home
If stock, samples or paperwork are taking over your home, our storage units free up your living space while keeping your business organised. We can collect from your home, store securely, and bring items back when needed.
Renters and Small Businesses
For renters or small offices in Old Malden with limited space, our storage is a cost-effective alternative to moving to larger, more expensive premises. Scale your storage up or down as your business changes, without long-term property commitments.
Landlords and Property Managers
Landlords often need temporary storage for furniture and appliances between tenancies or during refurbishments. We can remove, store and return items on schedule, helping you turn properties around quickly.
Established Businesses and Offices
From excess office furniture to archived files and marketing materials, we support growing and established businesses that need reliable offsite storage with organised access and fully insured transport.
Students with Side Businesses
Students running small online shops or seasonal ventures can store stock safely while moving accommodation or heading home for holidays, without burdening friends or family with boxes and equipment.

How Our Business Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of your business storage needs: what you have, how much space you think you need, and how long for. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and any return or distribution services.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex requirements, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to measure volumes accurately, plan access, identify any specialist handling needs and recommend the right storage configuration for your business.
3. Packing & Preparation
Our trained teams can professionally pack your items, supply sturdy cartons, crates and protective wrapping, and label everything systematically so it is easy to locate in storage. Alternatively, you can pre-pack and we simply collect.
4. Loading & Transport
On the agreed day, our removals team arrives in purpose-built vehicles. We protect furniture and equipment with blankets, covers and straps, then load carefully and efficiently. Your goods are transported directly to our secure Old Malden facility.
5. Unloading, Storage & Ongoing Access
At our warehouse, your goods are unloaded, checked against inventory and stored methodically. When you need items back, you can arrange collection or book a professional delivery from our team, whether it is a full load or selected items.
Transparent and Fair Pricing
Business storage pricing is based on three main factors:
- Volume of goods (space required)
- Length of storage term
- Additional services (packing, collection, distribution)
We explain all charges clearly before you commit, so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras for standard handling, and any optional services are itemised. This transparent approach lets you budget accurately and compare the true cost against warehousing or larger premises.
Why Use Professional Business Storage Instead of DIY?
Using a spare garage, self-store unit or casual man-and-van might appear cheaper, but it often creates more risk and wasted time. With Storage Old Malden you benefit from:
- Fully insured transport and storage, giving peace of mind
- Professional handling to reduce damage, loss and downtime
- Organised inventories, so you can find items quickly
- Flexible access and redelivery, saving you trips back and forth
- Advice from experienced removals specialists who understand business needs
In short, we protect your assets and your time, so you can focus on running your business.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to recognised industry standards and hold appropriate insurances for business clients:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your items while being moved between your premises and our facility
- Public liability cover for work on your site, including offices, warehouses and residential properties
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling commercial equipment, IT kit and sensitive items
All staff are vetted, trained and supervised. Vehicles are regularly maintained, and our warehouse is monitored and access controlled.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your business property as if it were our own. Furniture and equipment are wrapped and protected; loads are secured to prevent shifting; and storage areas are kept clean and dry. Where possible, we use reusable crates, blankets and durable cartons to reduce waste, and we encourage clients to re-use packaging to support more sustainable operations.
Real-World Business Storage Use Cases
Moving Office
When timing between leases does not line up, we can store your office contents temporarily, then deliver everything to your new premises on the exact day you get the keys.
Seasonal or Project-Based Storage
Retailers and event companies often need extra space only at certain times of year. We provide short to medium-term storage, scaling your space up or down as stock levels change.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
If you need to clear space quickly following a lease break, flood, refurbishment or unexpected change, we can respond rapidly, collect items at short notice and place them into secure storage while you plan your next step.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you require storage, and whether you want us to handle packing and collection. We price per unit of space on a weekly or monthly basis, with discounts for longer-term agreements. All quotes are tailored, so you only pay for the capacity and services you genuinely need. Contact us with a rough inventory or photos and we will provide a clear, written estimate with no hidden fees.
Can you offer same-day or urgent business storage?
In many cases, yes. If we have capacity and crews available, we can arrange same-day or next-day collection and storage in Old Malden and nearby areas. Urgent moves are common for lease endings, emergencies, or last-minute refurbishments. The more information you can provide when you call, the quicker we can plan vehicles, staff and space. While same-day service cannot be guaranteed every time, we will always be honest about what is realistically achievable.
Are my goods insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between locations, and by our storage cover while held in our facility, subject to standard terms and declared values. We also hold public liability cover for work on your premises. We will explain the limits, exclusions and any options to increase cover if you have particularly high-value items. We always encourage clients to discuss specific concerns so we can ensure adequate protection.
What is included in your business storage service?
At its core, our service includes secure, monitored storage space and careful handling into and out of our facility. Most business clients also use our collection and delivery service with professional teams and suitable vehicles. Optional extras include packing, provision of crates and cartons, inventory labelling, and scheduled distribution of stock or equipment to multiple sites. We tailor the combination of services to your needs, so you can choose a simple storage-only option or a fully managed logistics solution.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van usually offers transport only, with limited or no insurance, no dedicated storage facility and varying levels of professionalism. We provide integrated collection, secure warehouse storage and redelivery, backed by fully insured operations and trained staff. Your goods are handled using proper equipment, protected in transit and stored in an organised, controlled environment. For business clients, reliability, documentation and continuity matter, and that is where a professional removals and storage company makes a clear difference.
How far in advance should I book business storage?
For planned projects or office moves, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially during busy periods. This gives time for surveys, packing plans and scheduling of vehicles and crews. However, we know business rarely runs perfectly to plan, so we also accommodate short-notice and urgent requirements where possible. The earlier you contact us with outline details, the more options we can offer on dates, pricing and the level of support we provide.
