Professional Business Storage Services in Shepherds Bush
Our business storage service is designed to act as an extension of your workplace. Instead of filling valuable office or retail space with documents, excess stock or equipment, you can store everything safely with us and access it when you need it.

Local Expertise You Can Rely On
Working daily in Shepherds Bush and the wider West London area, our team understand the pressures local businesses face: limited space, tight deadlines, challenging access, and busy streets. We plan around local traffic patterns and loading restrictions, and we know the commercial estates, high streets and residential roads extremely well.
This local knowledge allows us to offer timely collections and deliveries to and from your premises, minimising disruption and keeping your operations running smoothly.

How Our Business Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with details of what you need to store, your timescales and your Shepherds Bush location. We will ask a few questions about volume, type of items, and how often you may need access. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote tailored to your requirements.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex storage requirements, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to measure volumes accurately, assess packing needs, and plan the safest handling methods. A survey helps avoid surprises on the day and ensures the correct unit size and handling equipment are reserved for you.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our team use suitable cartons, crates, bubble wrap and protective covers for IT equipment, furniture and fragile stock. Everything is clearly labelled to keep your inventory organised, making retrieval and future deliveries straightforward.
4. Collection, Loading & Transport
On the agreed date, our trained, professional team arrive at your premises in fully equipped vehicles. We carefully load your items, using sack trucks, dollies and protective blankets where needed. Your goods are then transported directly to our secure storage facility near Shepherds Bush, with goods in transit insurance in place throughout the journey.
5. Unloading, Storage & Placement
At our facility, items are unloaded and placed into your designated storage area. We position pallets, shelving or racking where necessary to keep everything accessible and off the floor. We can also help you create a basic inventory list if desired, so you know exactly what is stored and where within your unit.
Transparent, Flexible Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your overall cost will typically be made up of:
- Storage unit size and duration (weekly or monthly)
- Collection and delivery charges, based on distance from Shepherds Bush and time required
- Optional services such as packing, materials and inventory assistance
We will explain all costs in advance and confirm them in writing. Discounts may be available for longer-term storage or larger, ongoing business accounts.
Why Use Professional Business Storage Instead of DIY?
Storing business items in a garage, spare room or makeshift lock-up can lead to damage, loss and disorganisation. Using a professional storage provider offers several clear advantages:
- Better protection from damp, dust and accidental damage
- Improved security, with controlled access and monitored premises
- Time savings, as our team handle loading, transport and placement
- Professional handling of heavy and awkward items, reducing risk of injury
- Predictable, documented costs you can budget for as part of your business overheads
A casual man-and-van may move items cheaply, but rarely offers the same level of insurance cover, documentation, or accountability that established storage operators provide.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to high professional standards to give your business peace of mind:
- Goods in transit insurance for items while being collected or delivered
- Public liability cover for work carried out at your premises
- Trained, professional staff experienced in handling commercial items and equipment
- Secure facility with controlled access and robust locking systems
We are always happy to discuss specific insurance requirements for higher-value items and can advise on additional cover where necessary.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your business assets as if they were our own. Furniture and equipment are wrapped and protected where needed, documents are kept dry and elevated, and fragile stock is stacked sensibly to avoid crushing.
We also aim to operate as sustainably as possible by reusing packing materials where safe and practical, recommending durable crates instead of single-use boxes, and planning efficient transport routes in and around Shepherds Bush to minimise unnecessary mileage.
Real-World Business Storage Use Cases
Moving Office
When relocating your office, you may not want or need everything at the new address straightaway. We can store surplus furniture, archived files or older IT equipment until you are ready to make decisions, easing pressure on move day.
Retail and E-commerce Stock
For retailers and online sellers, seasonal peaks can overwhelm your main premises. Our storage units provide a cost-effective way to hold excess stock, promotional materials and returns, with flexible terms so you only pay for the space and duration you need.
Urgent or Short-Notice Needs
Sometimes a lease ends unexpectedly, or you need to clear space at short notice for refurbishment. We can often arrange rapid collection and storage from Shepherds Bush addresses, helping you protect your assets while you focus on resolving the immediate issue.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage in Shepherds Bush cost?
Costs depend mainly on the amount of space you need, how long you require it for, and whether you want us to handle collection, packing and delivery. Smaller units for archive boxes or limited stock are naturally cheaper than full warehouse-style spaces. We price storage on a weekly or monthly basis, with clear, itemised charges for any transport or additional services. Once we understand your requirements, we will provide a written quote so you can see exactly what you will pay and adjust the level of service to suit your budget.
Can you provide same-day or urgent business storage?
Where our schedule and unit availability allow, we can often arrange same-day or very short-notice business storage for Shepherds Bush clients. This is particularly useful if you are facing an unexpected lease issue, landlord deadline or urgent clearance. Calling us as early as possible gives us the best chance of fitting you in. We will explain what is realistic that day, what size units are available, and any limitations on packing or inventory services when working at short notice.
Are my goods insured while in storage and in transit?
Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between your premises and our facility, and by our general storage cover while they are stored, subject to standard terms and declared values. We also hold public liability insurance for work on your site. For unusually high-value or specialist items, we may recommend you arrange additional cover, or provide relevant valuations so we can confirm appropriate limits. We are happy to discuss your specific situation and outline all insurance details before you commit.
What is included in your business storage service?
At a basic level, our service includes secure, accessible storage space in an appropriate size, plus standard facility security and support during agreed access times. Most business clients also choose optional services such as collection and delivery from Shepherds Bush addresses, professional packing, supply of packing materials, and help with simple inventory recording. We will tailor the package to your needs, so you only pay for the level of assistance you want, from simple self-managed storage through to a more fully managed logistics-style solution.
How is your service different from a simple man-and-van?
A man-and-van service can be useful for one-off, low-risk moves, but it rarely offers the same standards that business clients require. We provide purpose-designed storage, documented processes, trained teams, and appropriate insurance cover for commercial items. Our facility is secure and designed for longer-term holding of goods, whereas a man-and-van typically only handles transport. With us, you have a single, accountable provider responsible for both moving and storing your assets, along with ongoing support and clear communication throughout.
How far in advance should I book business storage?
If you know your dates, it is best to book at least one to two weeks in advance, especially for larger volumes or when you require extra services such as packing or detailed inventory work. This allows us to allocate the right size unit and team for your job. However, we understand that business needs can change quickly, and we will always try to accommodate last-minute requests where possible. Even if your plans are not finalised, contacting us early means we can advise on options and provisional arrangements.
