How Our Business Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact Storage Hatton with details of what you need to store, access requirements and likely timescales. We then provide a clear, no‑obligation quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery options. Pricing is transparent, with no hidden charges.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex jobs, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us assess volumes, access (stairs, lifts, loading bays), any parking restrictions and any dismantling required. The survey helps us plan the right team, vehicle and packing materials so move‑day is smooth and efficient.
3. Packing & Preparation
Our trained crews can provide a full or partial packing service, or we can simply collect pre‑packed boxes. Where required, we dismantle desks, shelving and modular furniture, label items clearly and wrap delicate goods using professional materials. Everything is inventoried so we know exactly what is entering storage.
4. Loading & Transport to Store
On the agreed date, our team carefully loads your items onto our vehicles using protective covers, floor runners and securing straps. We work efficiently around your schedule to reduce disruption to staff and operations. Your items are then transported directly to our secure storage facility.
5. Secure Storage, Unloading & Placement
At our facility, items are unloaded into your allocated storage space, stacked safely and recorded against your inventory. When you are ready for items back, we arrange redelivery, unload into the correct rooms or areas and, where agreed, reassemble furniture and reinstall equipment.
Transparent Business Storage Pricing
Our storage pricing is based on three main factors:
- The volume of goods stored (measured by space used).
- The length of time you need storage.
- Any additional services such as packing, dismantling or frequent access.
We provide a written breakdown so you can see exactly what you are paying for: collection, monthly storage, redelivery and any optional extras. There are no surprise fees for basic access, and we can invoice monthly to help with budgeting and accounting.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Man‑and‑Van
Using a professional removals and storage company like Storage Hatton offers several advantages over self‑storage runs or ad‑hoc man‑and‑van services:
- Trained staff who understand manual handling, lifting and safe loading.
- Purpose‑designed vehicles and protective equipment for commercial items.
- Fully insured operations, including goods in transit insurance and public liability cover.
- Accurate inventories, labelling and documentation to maintain control of your assets.
- Reliable scheduling and a single point of contact for collection, storage and return.
DIY trips and casual man‑and‑van options may appear cheaper initially, but the risk of damage, loss of records and disruption to your team can easily outweigh any short‑term savings.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your business assets are important, so we take protection seriously. Storage Hatton provides:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while being moved between your premises and our storage facility.
- Public liability cover to protect you and your building during work on site.
- Trained, uniformed teams who follow recognised professional moving and handling standards.
We can discuss enhanced cover limits where required and will explain how our insurance works in clear, straightforward terms.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your stock, equipment and furniture as if it were our own. We use professional wrapping materials, padded covers, floor protection and secure stacking methods to reduce the risk of damage. Where possible, we use reusable crates and durable protective materials, minimising single‑use plastics and waste.
We plan routes carefully to reduce unnecessary mileage and consolidate loads where appropriate, helping to cut emissions while still meeting your timelines.
Real‑World Business Storage Use Cases
- Office moves and refurbishments – Temporary storage for desks, chairs, IT and archives while your workspace is being refitted or relocated.

- Project‑based work – Storage of project equipment, samples and documentation between phases.
- Urgent or short‑notice moves – Rapid decant of offices or units where leases end unexpectedly or urgent works are required.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage cost?
The cost of business storage depends mainly on how much space you need, how long you need it for and whether you’d like us to handle packing, collection and redelivery. We price by volume, not by item, so you don’t pay more than necessary if your goods are efficiently packed. After a short discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote showing collection, monthly storage and any optional extras, with no hidden charges or surprise fees.
Can you provide same‑day or urgent business storage?
In many cases we can help with same‑day or short‑notice business storage, particularly where a lease is ending, or urgent works are required. Availability will depend on our schedule and the volume of items, but we will always be honest about what we can realistically achieve. If we can’t meet your exact time, we’ll suggest the nearest workable option. The sooner you call us, the easier it is to secure vehicles, crews and suitable storage space.
Are my items insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them and by our storage cover while they are in our facility. We also hold public liability cover for work at your premises. We’ll explain the standard cover levels included and can often arrange higher‑value cover if required. We also recommend you keep your own business insurance updated, so everything is correctly recorded for your accounts and risk management.
What is included in your business storage service?
Our core service includes professional collection from your premises, secure storage in our facility and redelivery when you need your items back. We can also provide packing materials, full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and careful handling of IT equipment. An inventory is created so you know exactly what’s in store. We aim to offer a complete solution, so you don’t have to organise vehicles, labour and storage separately.
How is your service different from a basic man‑and‑van?
A man‑and‑van service typically offers transport only, with limited guarantees around insurance, training and record‑keeping. Storage Hatton provides a structured, professional service: trained teams, appropriate vehicles, fully insured operations and a clear inventory system. We manage collection, storage and redelivery under one roof, with proper planning and documentation. This reduces the risk of damage, lost items and operational disruption, which is especially important for businesses that rely on their assets and records.
How far in advance should I book business storage?
Ideally, we suggest booking as soon as you have approximate dates and a sense of what needs to be stored – often two to four weeks in advance for planned projects. This gives us time to carry out a survey, reserve space and schedule the right team. However, we understand that business circumstances change quickly, and we regularly accommodate short‑notice requests. Even if your dates are not fixed, an early conversation helps ensure we can offer the best options when you are ready.
