Our site offers easy access to main routes, clear loading areas, and simple procedures so you can get in and out quickly.

Who Our Business Storage Is For
Homeowners and Home-Based Businesses
If you run a business from home, we can take stock, samples, tools, or paperwork out of your living space and into a secure unit. This keeps your home clearer and makes it easier to separate work and home life.
Renters
For renters using their property as a base for work, our units provide a safe place for business items that may not be allowed or insured in a rental agreement, such as large quantities of stock or bulky equipment.
Landlords
Landlords often need temporary storage during refurbishments, between tenancies, or when replacing furnishings. Our units are ideal for storing appliances, furniture, fixtures and fittings until properties are ready.
Businesses and Organisations
From shops, trades and online sellers to charities and professional services, we provide scalable business storage solutions. You can increase or decrease unit size as your needs change, helping you control overheads without committing to long leases.
Students Running Small Businesses
Students running online shops or small ventures can use our smaller units to keep stock safe, organised and separate from shared accommodation, with flexible terms to suit short-term or seasonal projects.
What You Can Store with Us
Our units are suitable for most typical commercial items, including:
- Stock and inventory (boxed or palletised)
- Office furniture, chairs, desks and shelving
- IT equipment, printers and peripherals (properly packed)
- Tools, materials and trade equipment
- Display stands, exhibition materials and marketing items
- Filing boxes, archives and records
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our business storage service. These include:
- Perishable goods or food that can spoil
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials
- Illegal goods or counterfeit items
- Live animals or plants
- Unsealed liquids or chemicals
- Cash, high-value jewellery or similar valuables best kept in a bank
If you are unsure whether something is suitable, we will happily advise before you book.
How Our Business Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quotation
You contact Storage Longford by phone, email or through our website with details of what you need to store, how long for, and any access requirements. We then recommend unit size options and provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining costs and terms.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex requirements, we can carry out a virtual or onsite assessment. This helps us confirm the most suitable unit size, discuss access for vehicles, and plan any additional services you may need, such as shelving or pallet storage.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can arrange professional packing and preparation services if required. We advise on suitable packing materials, labelling, and how to prepare IT equipment, furniture and documents so they remain protected during movement and storage.
4. Loading & Transport
You may bring goods to us yourself, or we can coordinate collection using our removals vehicles. Our trained team loads items carefully, using protective covers, trolleys and handling equipment to minimise risk of damage. We schedule loading at times that work around your business operations.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival at our Longford facility, we unload and place your items neatly within your unit. Where required, we can help set up racking or arrange boxes and pallets so that stock and documents remain accessible and easy to manage.
Transparent Business Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote will detail:
- Unit size and weekly or monthly rental cost
- Any initial setup or access fob charges (if applicable)
- Optional packing and transport services
- Insurance arrangements
Prices depend mainly on unit size, duration of storage, and whether you need collection or delivery. We offer discounts for longer-term commitments and can adjust unit sizes as your requirements change, helping you avoid paying for unused space.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY or Casual Options
Using a professional storage provider like Storage Longford offers clear advantages over keeping business items in garages, sheds, or informal lock-ups:
- Purpose-built secure facility with monitored access
- Consistent, predictable costs for budgeting
- Flexible terms and the ability to scale space up or down
- Support from experienced staff who understand commercial needs
- Better protection for goods than damp or unsecured spaces
Compared with casual man-and-van style storage arrangements, you benefit from documented agreements, proper insurance, and reliable standards, reducing risk for your business.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your goods are important business assets. Our service is backed by goods in transit insurance when we transport items, and appropriate cover for items held in our care, subject to terms and declared values. We also maintain public liability cover for work on-site and during collection or delivery.
All handling is carried out by trained staff who follow established procedures for lifting, stacking, and securing loads. We maintain a clean, well-managed facility and clear records of unit agreements and access arrangements for your peace of mind.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We focus on careful handling and practical protection for your items. This includes the use of protective blankets, shrink wrap, and stable stacking plans to reduce movement and impact.
Where possible, we use reusable crates and durable packing materials instead of disposable options, and we encourage customers to reuse cartons and pallets. Our vehicles and site operations are managed with efficiency in mind to reduce unnecessary journeys and waste.
Real-World Business Storage Use Cases
Moving or Refurbishing an Office
When you are relocating offices or refurbishing your current premises, our units give you a temporary home for furniture, files and equipment. This keeps work areas clear and avoids damage or loss during building works.
Retail and E-Commerce Stock Storage
Shops and online sellers often hold more stock than they can fit on-site. Our storage enables you to buy in bulk, manage seasonal peaks, and keep your selling space tidy while having extra inventory close by and accessible.
Urgent and Short-Notice Needs
Sometimes storage needs arise at short notice, for example when a lease ends unexpectedly or a new shipment arrives early. Subject to availability, we can arrange same-day or rapid access to units and, where required, collection of goods to minimise disruption to your operations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business storage cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of unit you need, how long you plan to store with us, and whether you require collection and delivery. Smaller units suitable for documents or light stock are naturally cheaper than larger units for furniture or bulk inventory. We provide clear, itemised quotations so you know exactly what you are paying for, with weekly or monthly rates. Longer-term customers can often benefit from reduced rates. Contact us with an approximate list of items or required floor space and we will suggest the most cost-effective option.
Can you offer same-day or urgent business storage?
Where space allows, we can arrange same-day or short-notice storage for urgent situations, such as unexpected lease changes, emergency repairs, or early stock deliveries. The best approach is to call us as soon as you know you need space so we can confirm availability and reserve an appropriate unit. If you also require transport, we will check our vehicles and crew schedules and do our best to accommodate you. While same-day access cannot be guaranteed, we regularly help businesses at short notice.
What insurance cover is provided for my goods?
When we collect and deliver your items, we provide goods in transit insurance subject to our terms and conditions and agreed value limits. While in storage, your goods should be covered under a suitable policy, either arranged through us or via your own insurer. We will explain the available options when you book, including any documentation required. We also hold public liability cover for work on-site and at your premises. We always recommend checking that the level of cover matches the value of the items you plan to store.
What is included in your business storage service?
At its core, our service includes secure, clean storage space in Longford, access during agreed hours, and support from our on-site team. We can also offer optional extras such as professional packing, collection and delivery, assistance with unloading and arranging your unit, and advice on shelving or racking. All customers receive a clear agreement covering unit size, rental period, payment terms, and access arrangements. You can upgrade or downsize units as your needs change, subject to availability, making the service flexible as well as secure.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service typically offers transport only, with no dedicated storage facility, limited paperwork, and often minimal insurance. At Storage Longford, you benefit from purpose-built storage, monitored access, documented agreements and appropriate insurance. Our trained, professional staff follow established procedures for packing, loading and unit management. You also gain consistent contact and long-term flexibility, rather than relying on ad-hoc arrangements. For businesses, this reliability and accountability are important in managing risk and protecting assets.
How far in advance should I book business storage?
If you know you will need storage for a planned move, refurbishment or seasonal stock, it is wise to reserve space a few weeks in advance, especially for larger units. This gives us time to recommend the right size, arrange any packing or transport, and secure the best price. However, we understand that business needs are not always predictable. We keep some flexibility in our schedule for short-notice bookings and will always try to help, even if you only have a few days or hours before you need space.
