Business Storage in Surrey with Storage Surrey
At Storage Surrey, we provide secure, flexible business storage solutions for companies of all sizes across Surrey. Whether you are a start-up needing overflow space, an established firm between offices, or a contractor needing somewhere safe for tools and materials, we offer practical storage that works around your business – not the other way round.
Professional Business Storage, Run by Moving & Storage Specialists
We are a local, owner-managed removals and storage company with years of hands-on experience moving and protecting business assets. Our facilities are clean, dry and secure, with systems designed for commercial use rather than domestic self-storage alone.
Every storage job is handled by our own trained, uniformed teams. From the moment we collect your items to the moment we return them, we treat your stock and equipment as if it were our own.
Local Expertise in Surrey
Our business storage centre is ideally located for companies across Surrey, including Guildford, Woking, Epsom, Reigate, Redhill, and surrounding areas. We understand local traffic patterns, loading restrictions and access issues, which helps us plan collections and deliveries to minimise downtime for your team.
Because we also run a busy removals operation, we are used to working with building managers, business parks and high street premises, arranging access and timing to keep disruption to a minimum.

- Homeowners running businesses from home who have outgrown the garage or spare room.

- Landlords clearing and storing furniture or appliances between tenancies.
- Businesses of all sizes needing secure space for stock, equipment or archives.
- Students with side businesses or online shops needing seasonal or term-time storage.

How Our Business Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with a brief description of what you need to store, your location in Surrey, and your timescales. We discuss access, quantities and any special requirements, then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation covering collection, storage and eventual redelivery if needed.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex jobs, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to measure volumes accurately, plan vehicle sizes, check parking and building access, and identify any items requiring special protection. It also helps avoid surprises on the day and ensures our quote is accurate and transparent.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our crews use double-walled cartons, specialist wrap and protective covers for furniture and IT equipment. Every container and item is clearly labelled and inventoried so we can locate and return specific items quickly if you need partial deliveries.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our professional team arrives at the agreed time. We protect floors and access routes where needed, carefully load your goods, and secure them for transit in our vehicles. All goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while on the road.
5. Unloading into Storage & Return
Once at our Surrey storage facility, your goods are unloaded, checked against the inventory, and placed into your allocated unit or container. When you are ready to have items back, we arrange unloading & placement at your new or existing premises, positioning furniture and equipment as requested to get you operational as quickly as possible.
Transparent, Flexible Pricing
We believe in straightforward pricing with no surprises. Your quote will clearly set out:
- Collection and handling charges.
- Weekly or monthly storage rates, based on volume or unit size.
- Optional packing materials and packing services.
- Redelivery charges, if required.
Costs depend on how much you store, how long for, and the level of service you choose. Longer-term storage and regular business customers can benefit from preferential rates. We are always happy to review capacity and pricing as your needs change.
Why Choose Professional Business Storage Over DIY or Basic Man-and-Van
Using a cheap lock-up or an informal man-and-van may appear cost-effective, but for businesses it often introduces unnecessary risk. With Storage Surrey you benefit from:
- Fully insured storage and transport, giving you confidence that your assets are protected.
- Trained crews who know how to handle IT equipment, office furniture and fragile stock.
- Proper inventories and labelling, making it easy to retrieve items quickly.
- Secure premises with controlled access, CCTV and robust physical protection.
- Professional scheduling and communication to keep your operations running smoothly.
For most businesses, the cost difference is modest, while the reduction in risk and disruption is significant.
Insurance & Professional Standards
As a professional removals and storage company, we operate to high standards and carry comprehensive insurance cover:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your items while being moved between locations.
- Storage cover – protection for your goods while they are in our care at our facility.
- Public liability cover – safeguarding you and your premises during collections and deliveries.
Our teams are trained in manual handling, safe loading and secure packing techniques. We work to clear procedures for checking items in and out, and we can provide documentation for your own compliance or insurance records if required.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We know business equipment and stock represent real money and real work. We use heavy-duty covers, padded protection, and secure racking where appropriate to minimise the risk of damage. Our vehicles are regularly maintained, and loads are securely tied and protected.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. We aim to reuse packing materials where practical, source recyclable cartons, and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. When we dispose of unwanted items on your behalf, we use licensed waste and recycling partners wherever possible.
Real-World Business Storage Use Cases
- Moving office: Store furniture and equipment while you fit out a new space, then have everything delivered once you are ready.
- Retail and e-commerce: Use our facility as overflow storage for seasonal peaks, exhibitions or product launches.
- Refurbishments and fit-outs: Clear work areas and keep items safe while builders, decorators or IT contractors are on site.
- Urgent storage: Short-notice lease ends, urgent dilapidation works or unexpected building issues – we can often collect and store at short notice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage in Surrey cost?
Business storage costs depend on three main factors: the volume of items you need to store, how long you need storage for, and whether you require collection, packing and redelivery. We typically price by the cubic foot or by unit size, with discounts available for longer-term contracts and regular business customers. After a short discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote showing collection, storage and any optional services separately, so you can see exactly what you are paying for and adjust the level of service to suit your budget.
Can you offer same-day or urgent business storage?
In many cases we can provide same-day or short-notice business storage, particularly for smaller loads or when you are based close to our Surrey facility. Availability does depend on how busy our crews and vehicles are on the day, so the earlier you contact us, the better. If we cannot reach you the same day, we will always try to offer the earliest practical slot and may suggest temporary solutions to bridge any gap. Call us to discuss your situation and we will give you an honest assessment of what we can do.
Are my items insured while in storage and during transport?
Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved and by our storage cover while they are in our facility. This is in addition to our public liability cover when we are working at your premises. Our cover is designed for normal commercial goods; if you have unusually high-value items or specialist equipment, we may recommend additional cover or specific handling arrangements. We are happy to outline our policies in detail and provide documentation for your records or for your own insurers if required.
What is included in your business storage service?
At its simplest, our service includes secure, dry storage in our Surrey facility for an agreed volume and period. Most business clients also choose our collection and delivery service, where our professional team loads, transports and unloads items for you. We can add packing materials, a full packing service, inventories and itemised labelling, plus timed deliveries for reoccupation or fit-out. Your quote clearly sets out exactly what is included, and you can scale services up or down depending on how much you prefer to handle yourselves.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van or self-storage?
With a casual man-and-van you typically just get transport, often without proper insurance, inventories or professional handling. With self-storage, you are responsible for all lifting, loading and protection, which can disrupt your staff and increase the risk of damage. Our service combines professional, insured transport with secure storage, carried out by trained teams used to handling business equipment. We manage the logistics, paperwork and protection, so your team can stay focused on running the business rather than moving and storing items.
How far in advance should I book business storage?
For planned projects such as office moves, refurbishments or seasonal stock, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance. This gives us time to survey, plan vehicle allocation and coordinate with any other contractors you may be using. That said, we regularly help businesses on much shorter timescales when leases change suddenly or building issues arise. Even if your deadline is very close, contact us as soon as possible; we will always be honest about availability and will do our best to find a practical solution.
