- Clean, dry and secure storage units in a range of sizes
- Short or long-term contracts with flexible upgrades and downsizing
- Easy vehicle access for vans and small lorries

Who Our Business Storage Service Is For
Our business storage is suitable for a wide range of customers, including:
Homeowners and Home-Based Businesses
If you run a business from home in New Malden, storage can quickly become a problem. We provide secure space for stock, marketing materials, tools and archive boxes, so your home can stay a home while your business continues to grow.
Renters
Renting commercial or residential space often means limited room and strict tenancy conditions. Our storage lets you keep business items off site, helping you stay compliant with your tenancy while still having reliable access to what you need.
Landlords
For landlords managing properties in and around New Malden, we offer a practical base for furniture storage, white goods, flooring and fixtures between tenancies, refurbishments or upgrades. This helps keep properties flexible without being cluttered.
Businesses and Offices
From small local firms to regional offices, our commercial storage is ideal for spare office furniture, document archives, exhibition stands, seasonal marketing materials and surplus stock. We can also support staged office moves and refurbishments.
Students
Students with side businesses, online shops or project equipment can use our facility to store stock, samples or bulky kit during term time or holidays, without relying on limited student accommodation space.

How Our Business Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or via our online form with a brief description of what you need to store, when, and for how long. We will talk through the volume of items, your access requirements and any special considerations, then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation based on the most suitable unit size.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
Where helpful, we can carry out a virtual survey via video call, or an onsite survey at your office or premises. This is especially useful if you are combining storage with a removal or office clearance. It allows us to confirm the space required and plan for any larger or awkward items.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our team uses quality cartons, wrapping materials and protective covers to keep furniture and equipment safe. We can also supply labels and an inventory so you can easily locate items in storage.
4. Loading & Transport
If required, our removals crews will collect your business items from your premises, carefully load them onto our vehicles and deliver them directly to your storage unit. All items are secured for transport to minimise movement and damage.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload and place items logically inside your unit, with frequently used stock or equipment positioned near the front for easy access. We can also assist with basic shelving set-up if you wish to maximise your storage capacity.
Transparent Pricing for Business Storage
We aim to keep pricing straightforward and predictable, with no hidden extras. Storage costs are based on:
- Unit size (measured in square or cubic feet/metres)
- Length of stay – short-term or ongoing
- Any additional services – such as packing, collection or shelving
You receive a written quote detailing the weekly or monthly rate, payment schedule and notice periods. Discounts may be available for longer-term commitments or multiple units. We will always recommend the smallest practical unit that meets your needs, so you are not paying for unused space.
Why Choose Professional Storage over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Using professional business storage is very different from renting a cheap lock-up or relying on an informal man-and-van. With Storage New Malden you benefit from:
- Professional premises with modern security systems and controlled access
- Consistent, reliable opening hours and clear terms
- Purpose-built storage units designed to keep items clean and dry
- Optional trained packing and removal teams who know how to handle business assets
- Formal contracts and documentation suitable for accounting and compliance
In contrast, ad-hoc arrangements often lack proper security, documentation and insurance, leaving your business exposed if something goes wrong.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take the protection of your business property seriously. Our service is backed by:
- Goods in transit insurance when we transport your items to or from our facility
- Public liability cover to protect you and your staff when on site
- Trained storage and removals teams who follow established handling procedures
We can also discuss additional cover for high-value items where required. All policies are clearly explained so you know exactly what is and is not covered, allowing you to align our service with your own business insurance arrangements.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We understand that your stored items represent real value – in money, time and effort. Our teams use protective blankets, covers and careful stacking methods to minimise wear and tear. Units are regularly checked for cleanliness and security.
We also aim to work in a sustainable way by:
- Using reusable crates and protective materials where possible
- Offering recycled and recyclable packing materials
- Planning efficient collection routes to reduce fuel use
- Recommending the right unit size to avoid wasted space
The result is a storage solution that looks after your assets while keeping environmental impact in mind.
Real-World Business Storage Use Cases
Moving Office
When relocating an office in or around New Malden, you may need to decant furniture, files or IT equipment temporarily. Our storage units act as a buffer, allowing you to move in stages and keep critical operations running during the transition.
Seasonal or Project-Based Stock
Retailers and contractors can use our facility to hold seasonal stock, event equipment or materials for specific projects. This frees up expensive shop or workshop space while ensuring you still have fast access when needed.
Urgent or Emergency Situations
If you face an unexpected building issue, lease change or flood, we can often provide short-notice storage and collection to protect your business contents. Our local presence in New Malden means we can respond quickly when time is critical.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage in New Malden cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need, how long you plan to store items, and whether you require additional services such as collection or packing. We price units on a weekly or monthly basis, with discounts sometimes available for longer-term commitments or multiple units. Once we understand what you are storing and how often you need access, we will recommend the most economical unit size and provide a clear written quote so you can budget with confidence.
Can you offer same-day or urgent business storage?
In many cases we can arrange same-day or short-notice storage, particularly for emergency situations such as building issues, sudden lease changes or urgent clearances. Availability depends on current unit occupancy and the volume of items you need to store. If you also require collection, we will check vehicle and crew availability and do our best to accommodate you. The sooner you contact us with details of your situation, the more options we will be able to offer.
What insurance cover is provided for my stored items?
We provide goods in transit insurance when our teams transport your items to or from our facility, as well as public liability cover on site. Your goods in storage are usually covered under your own business contents policy, and we can provide documentation to assist your insurer. If you prefer, we can discuss additional cover for high-value items. We will explain clearly what is included, any limits or excesses, and how to ensure your business has appropriate protection in place.
What is included in your business storage service?
Our core service includes a clean, secure storage unit in New Malden, access during agreed opening hours, and support from our onsite team. You can then add optional services such as professional packing, collection and delivery, supply of packing materials, shelving installation and help with inventory management. We will tailor the service to match how your business operates, whether you need simple overflow space or a more managed solution with regular collections and deliveries.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with no dedicated storage facility, limited insurance and little accountability. By contrast, we provide purpose-built units, trained staff, documented procedures and formal contracts suitable for business use. Your items are stored in a secure, monitored environment with consistent access arrangements and clear terms. This gives you better protection, predictable costs and a more professional image when accounting, auditing or dealing with clients and regulators.
How far in advance should I book business storage?
If you know you will need storage for a planned move, refurbishment or project, it is sensible to book several weeks in advance so we can guarantee your preferred unit size and any collection dates. However, we understand business can be unpredictable, so we keep some flexibility for short-notice requirements. Even if your timescale is tight, get in touch as soon as you can and we will explain the options available and reserve space where possible.
