Professional Business Storage for Clerkenwell Organisations
Based in the heart of Clerkenwell, we understand the pressures of running a business in central London: limited space, premium rents and the need to stay agile. Our business storage services are designed around those realities, offering smart, scalable options that free up your office while keeping your stock and equipment close at hand.
All units are in a secure, purpose-built facility with 24/7 monitored security, modern fire protection and controlled access. As an established local provider, we combine practical expertise with a straightforward, no-nonsense approach that businesses appreciate.
Who Our Business Storage Service Is For
Homeowners Running a Business from Home
If your spare room or garage has turned into a mini warehouse, our storage units help you reclaim your home. Store inventory, seasonal stock, marketing materials or tools safely off‑site while still having easy access when you need them.
Renters and Live–Work Tenants
Renters often face strict limits on how much can be stored in a flat or live–work unit. Our business storage solutions let you separate work from home, avoid clutter and protect belongings in a secure, professionally managed facility.
Landlords and Property Managers
Use our storage for spare furniture, appliances, fixtures and fittings between tenancies. Landlords and agents in Clerkenwell rely on us to store replacement items, show-home furnishings and maintenance equipment safely between lets.
Businesses and Offices
From SMEs to larger corporates, we support businesses needing space for files, archives, stock, merchandising stands, exhibition materials, spare desks and chairs, or IT equipment. Our location makes it easy for teams or couriers to drop off and collect throughout the week.
Students and Start-Ups
Students and early-stage founders often launch businesses without permanent offices. Our smaller units provide cost‑effective storage for products, prototypes and event equipment with flexible terms that grow with your venture.

How Our Business Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with a rough idea of what you need to store and for how long. We will ask a few practical questions about volume, access requirements and any special considerations. Based on this, we provide a clear, itemised quotation with no hidden extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex business storage requirements, we can carry out a quick virtual survey via video call or an onsite visit at your Clerkenwell premises. This ensures you get the right unit size, correct handling for heavier items and, where needed, suitable shelving or layout inside your space.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or our trained team can provide a full or part packing service. We supply quality cartons, archive boxes, bubble wrap and furniture covers. IT equipment and fragile items are carefully protected and labelled for easy retrieval later. Clear labelling is key to efficient business storage, and we can help you create a simple system.
4. Loading & Transport
On the agreed day, our professional movers arrive with the right vehicle and handling gear. We load methodically, using trolleys, dollies and protective blankets to prevent damage. Items are secured in our vehicle and transported directly to our Clerkenwell storage facility, with goods in transit insurance in place throughout.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the facility, everything is unloaded carefully and placed into your dedicated unit or allocated storage area. We stack logically to make future access straightforward, keeping heavier items at the bottom and fragile boxes safe from pressure. Once complete, we secure your unit and arrange access details with your authorised team members.
Transparent Pricing for Business Storage
Our pricing is clear and straightforward. The overall cost depends on:
- Unit size required (based on volume of items)
- Length of storage term
- Level of access needed (standard or more frequent)
- Optional services such as packing, collection and delivery
We explain all charges in advance, including any transport or handling fees if we are collecting from your premises. There are no hidden administration or surprise exit fees. For longer-term business customers, we can fix rates for an agreed period to support budgeting.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using a casual man‑and‑van or ad‑hoc storage arrangement might look cheaper on paper, but it often costs more in lost time, damage and disruption. As a specialist storage provider, we offer:
- Fully insured collection and storage for peace of mind
- Trained teams who know how to handle office and IT equipment
- A secure, monitored facility – not a makeshift garage or container yard
- Proper documentation, access control and audit trail where needed
- Reliable availability and support when your business needs to scale up
For organisations that rely on their assets, professional storage is a practical, low‑risk choice.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your business property is protected by our goods in transit insurance when we collect or return items, and by comprehensive facility cover while stored in our care. We also hold public liability insurance for work on your premises or shared building areas.
Our staff are directly employed and trained in safe lifting, packing techniques and data awareness. We follow clear procedures for access control, key management and visitor sign‑in at the storage facility, helping businesses comply with internal policies and regulatory requirements.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care to minimise damage, disruption and waste. All furniture and IT equipment are wrapped and protected; documents and archives are stacked to avoid crushing and moisture ingress. Where possible, we use reusable crates, durable cartons and recyclable packing materials to reduce single‑use plastics.
Our central Clerkenwell location helps cut unnecessary travel distances, and we plan journeys efficiently to reduce mileage and emissions. When you no longer need certain items, we can help arrange responsible recycling or charitable donation where appropriate.
Real-World Business Storage Use Cases
Moving Office or Refurbishing
When you are relocating or refurbishing an office, temporary storage prevents your team working around stacks of boxes and spare desks. We can remove excess furniture, files and equipment ahead of works, then return them in a controlled, phased way once the new space is ready.
Ongoing Stock and Archive Storage
Retailers, online sellers and professional firms often use our facility as an extension of their premises. Keep slow‑moving or seasonal lines off‑site, or place older archives in secure storage while maintaining the ability to retrieve files quickly when needed.
Urgent and Short‑Notice Storage
Business changes do not always arrive with much warning. Whether a lease ends unexpectedly, a large delivery arrives early, or you need to vacate space for a new tenant, we can usually arrange storage at short notice. Our team works efficiently to clear areas quickly while keeping everything carefully documented and protected.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage in Clerkenwell cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need, how long you plan to store items and whether you would like us to provide collection, packing or delivery services. Smaller units for boxes and light equipment are naturally cheaper than large spaces for furniture and bulk stock. We provide a clear written quotation before you commit, with monthly pricing and any transport charges itemised. There are no hidden extras, and we can review your unit size over time so you are not paying for unused space.
Can you provide same-day or urgent business storage?
In many cases, yes. If we have suitable space available, we can often arrange urgent storage the same day or within 24 hours, particularly for businesses facing an unexpected deadline such as a lease ending or a last‑minute delivery. The sooner you contact us, the more options we can offer. We will discuss your priorities, quickly assess what needs to be stored and allocate an appropriate unit. Additional charges may apply for out‑of‑hours work, but we will always confirm these in advance.
What insurance cover do you provide for items in storage?
Your goods are protected by our standard goods in transit insurance when we collect or deliver them, and by facility insurance while they are stored with us. This covers most typical business items against risks such as fire, theft and flood, subject to policy terms and declared values. We will explain the level of cover included as part of your quotation. If you hold your own business contents policy, you may also wish to notify your insurer that items are stored off‑site at our secure Clerkenwell facility.
What is included in your business storage service?
At the simplest level, we provide a secure, clean storage unit or allocated space with controlled access and facility insurance. Many businesses also choose optional services such as professional packing, supply of boxes and materials, collection from their premises, and organised placement of items for easier retrieval. We can help design a simple labelling and layout system so your team can find things quickly. For longer-term clients, we offer review meetings to ensure your unit size and configuration still suit the way your business operates.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man‑and‑van usually focuses on transport only, often without dedicated storage, formal insurance or consistent handling standards. We provide a complete, managed service: professional staff, secure monitored premises, documented processes and appropriate insurance. Your items stay in a controlled environment rather than an unknown lock‑up or garage. For businesses that need reliability, auditability and predictable access, this level of structure makes a significant difference and reduces the risk of disruption or loss.
How far in advance should I book business storage?
If you know a move, refurbishment or stock delivery is coming up, booking one to four weeks in advance gives the widest choice of unit sizes and time slots. That said, we understand that business needs can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice. Contact us as soon as dates are roughly known and we will reserve space provisionally if required. We can then fine‑tune the exact unit size and service level once you have confirmed what needs to be stored.
