Who Our Business Storage Service Is For
Our Chessington business storage is suitable for a wide range of clients, including:
Homeowners Running a Business from Home
If you work from home and are running out of space for stock, samples or equipment, a storage unit can give you your spare room or garage back. Store seasonal stock, archived paperwork or bulky materials securely off-site while keeping them close enough to access when needed.
Renters and Small Office Users
For renters or small offices in Chessington, upsizing just for storage rarely makes financial sense. Our units allow you to keep your existing premises while using business storage as a flexible extension, ideal for marketing materials, promotional stands, and spare office furniture.
Landlords and Property Professionals
Landlords and letting agents often need safe storage for furniture, white goods and maintenance equipment between tenancies. We provide a secure base for these items, helping you turn properties around quickly without cluttering your own premises.
Businesses of All Sizes
From sole traders to larger companies, our business storage is widely used for stockholding, spare parts, event materials, exhibition stands and seasonal inventory. Many clients treat their unit as a mini-warehouse without the overheads of traditional industrial space.
Students with Side Businesses
Students running online shops or reselling stock often need a safe space for inventory during term-time and holidays. Our Chessington storage gives you a consistent, secure location without long leases or complicated contracts.

How Our Business Storage Process Works
We keep the process straightforward so you can concentrate on running your business.
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact our Chessington team by phone or online with details of what you need to store, how quickly you need space and for how long. We discuss unit size options, access needs and any handling support you require, then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex business storage requirements, we can carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This helps us recommend the most suitable unit size, layout and any collection services. It also allows us to plan safe handling of heavy or bulky items.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack and prepare your items yourself, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our teams use quality packing materials, labelled boxes and protective covers for furniture and equipment. Proper packing protects your goods in storage and makes later retrieval far more efficient.
4. Loading & Transport
If you prefer, we can collect your items from your business premises using our removals vehicles. Our trained teams handle loading and unloading, using blankets, straps and trolleys to protect goods in transit. Collections are covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance for added reassurance.
5. Unloading & Placement in Your Unit
On arrival at our Chessington facility, we unload your items carefully and place them systematically in your unit. We can work to your preferred layout so that frequently accessed items are easy to reach. You receive your unit keys or access codes, along with guidance on opening times and security procedures.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe business storage should be straightforward to budget for. Our pricing is based on:
- Unit size required
- Length of stay (short-term or long-term)
- Level of access required
- Optional services (collection, packing, shelving)
There are no hidden extras: all standard charges, such as insurance cover for stored goods on site, are explained clearly before you commit. We can also review costs as your needs change, helping you upsize or downsize your space to avoid paying for unused capacity.
Why Use Professional Business Storage Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Renting a lock-up or relying on ad-hoc space may seem cheaper, but it often leads to issues with security, access and insurance. At Storage Chessington you benefit from:
- A secure, purpose-built facility with monitored access
- Units designed for safe, efficient storage – not improvised spaces
- Fully insured collection and handling options
- Support from a professional storage and removals team
- Clear contracts and predictable monthly costs
Casual man-and-van services rarely offer the same level of accountability, documentation or public liability cover. For business-critical stock and equipment, reliability and traceability matter.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your business reputation depends on your assets. We protect them with:
- Goods in transit insurance when we transport your items to or from our facility
- On-site cover for stored items in line with our terms and conditions
- Public liability cover for work carried out at your premises
- Trained teams following safe handling and lifting practices
We work to industry best practice for packing, lifting, vehicle loading and storage layout. Risk assessments are carried out where required, particularly for larger commercial moves and archive transfers.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your business property with the same care we would our own. That means:
- Using appropriate protective covers and wrapping for furniture and equipment
- Keeping units clean, dry and well-ventilated to avoid damp and damage
- Encouraging careful labelling and racking to prevent unnecessary handling
- Reusing durable packing materials where possible and recycling responsibly
We are continually reviewing how we operate to reduce waste, optimise vehicle use and adopt more sustainable materials without compromising protection.
Real-World Business Storage Use Cases
Moving Office
During an office move, our Chessington business storage can hold furniture, files and IT equipment while your new premises are being prepared. This avoids rushed decisions or overfilling temporary space and enables a phased, controlled relocation.
Seasonal or Project-Based Stock
Retailers and contractors often need extra capacity for limited periods. We provide flexible storage for seasonal lines, project materials or event stock, allowing you to respond to demand without committing to permanent warehouse space.
Urgent or Short-Notice Requirements
From emergency clearances to last-minute project wins, sometimes you simply need secure space fast. Subject to availability, we can arrange units and, where required, collection at short notice, helping you keep operations running smoothly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage in Chessington cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need, how long you intend to store for and whether you require extras such as collection or packing. Smaller units for a few boxes and light stock are naturally cheaper than larger spaces for furniture and bulk inventory. We provide clear, written quotations with no hidden extras, and can often offer better rates for longer-term storage. Contact us with a rough inventory and timeframe and we will recommend the most cost-effective option for your business.
Can you offer same-day or urgent business storage?
In many cases we can arrange same-day or short-notice storage in Chessington, subject to unit availability and access times. If you require collection as well, we will check our vehicle and team schedules to see how quickly we can assist. The more information you can provide about what needs storing and when, the easier it is for us to plan. While we cannot guarantee same-day space in every situation, we always do our best to accommodate urgent business requirements.
Are my business items insured while in storage?
Yes, your items are protected under our on-site insurance arrangements while stored at our Chessington facility, provided they meet our terms and conditions and are declared appropriately. When we collect or return goods using our vehicles, they are covered by goods in transit insurance up to agreed limits. We will explain the cover in plain language before you sign up, including any exclusions and the process for declaring higher-value items. You are also free to supplement this with your own business insurance if you wish.
What is included in your business storage service?
At its core, our service includes a clean, secure storage unit in Chessington with agreed access and clear monthly pricing. Many business customers also choose optional extras such as professional packing, collection and delivery, shelving or racking and help with loading and unloading. We can accept deliveries on your behalf by prior arrangement, and support you in organising your unit for efficient stock control. From simple space rental to a more managed solution, we tailor the level of service to your needs.
How is professional storage different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may move your goods, but usually cannot provide a purpose-built, secure facility or the same level of insurance and accountability. With Storage Chessington you benefit from trained staff, structured processes, documented agreements and a monitored site designed for long-term storage. We focus on protecting goods in transit and in situ, not just on transport. For business customers responsible for high-value stock or sensitive documents, this added assurance, traceability and professionalism is often essential rather than optional.
How far in advance should I book business storage?
Where possible, we recommend getting in touch at least one to two weeks before you need space, especially if you have specific size requirements or require collection. This gives us time to assess your needs, arrange any survey and reserve the most suitable unit. However, we understand that business demands are not always predictable, so we also handle many short-notice requests. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we’ll have on unit choice, scheduling and pricing.
