Business storage that, er, means business

Any business can use business storage, from sole traders and start-ups to established companies. It is ideal for online sellers, tradespeople, office-based teams, charities, and anyone who needs extra room.

The storage units themselves are the same, but the use case is different. Business storage is typically for stock, equipment, paperwork and operational items, while personal storage is for household belongings. Many businesses also value easy access for deliveries, pick-ups, and seasonal storage.

That depends on what you are storing and how often you need to access it. A small unit can suit archive boxes or a few shelves of stock, while larger units or storage containers work well for bulk inventory, equipment, or an office move. If unsure, the team can help you choose the right size, or you can check out our size guide, so you are not paying for space you do not need.

Yes, subject to availability. If your stock grows, or your needs change, your unit can grow with it. If things quieten down, you can reduce your space too. Just speak to the team and they will guide you through the options.

You can store most business items, including stock and inventory, tools and equipment, promotional materials, office furniture, event kit, and documents and archives. If it is something you would keep in a stockroom or storeroom, it is usually suitable.

Yes. You cannot store:

(a) food or perishable goods unless securely packed so they are protected from and do not attract vermin;

(b) any living creatures;

(c) combustible or flammable substances such as gas, paint, petrol, oil, cleaning solvents or compressed gases;

(d) firearms, explosives, weapons or ammunition;

(e) chemicals, radioactive materials, biological agents; toxic waste, asbestos or other potentially hazardous substances;

(f) any item that emits fumes, or odours;

(g) any illegal item or substances or goods illegally obtained such as illicit (counterfeit/smuggled) tobacco or alcohol and unlicensed or unsafe goods (such as toys, electrical goods, medicines, aerosols, cosmetics, fireworks);

(h) goods which are environmentally harmful or that are a risk to the property of any person;

(i) items which are irreplaceable, which may include, currency, jewellery, furs, deeds, paintings, curios, works of art and items of personal sentimental value.

If in doubt, ask the team before moving items in.

It is simple. Choose your preferred location, pick a unit size, and get a quote. Once you are ready, the team will confirm the details, arrange the paperwork, and get you set up for move-in.

Yes. Business storage can be used short-term for projects, seasonal peaks, or office moves, and long-term for ongoing stock, archives, or equipment. Storage should fit your timeline, not the other way around, so we don't tie you in for any minimum term and there's no maximum stay, either.

If there is space available, you can often move in the same day you enquire. The team will confirm the earliest move-in time and help you get organised.

LOOK sites are designed with security in mind, including 24/7 CCTV and controlled access. Your unit is also locked individually, and only you hold the key, so you stay in control of who can access your space.

You can access your storage unit or container any time between 7am and 9pm (our office hours), but if you do need to access your unit outside of those times, just let us know and we'll be happy to arrange.

When you book your unit or container, a heavy duty lock will be provided alongside a key, so you can secure your unit from day one. You keep the key, so access stays in your hands.

Pricing depends mainly on the unit size and how long you plan to store for. Smaller units for documents cost less than larger spaces for stock and equipment. The team can recommend the best size for your needs to keep costs sensible and avoid paying for unused space and you can get a quote by filling in our simple form.

Yes. LOOK offers flexible storage terms so you can store for as long as you need and change unit sizes (subject to availability) if your circumstances shift.

There are no hidden fees or extras buried away in our small print – we pride ourselves on open, transparent pricing with no surprises. We do require that you take out insurance before storing with us, however, and the team can answer any questions you might have on this.

Payment methods can vary slightly by site, but common options include card payments and bank transfer. Your local LOOK team can confirm what is available.

Pack items in sturdy boxes, label everything clearly, and place heavier items at the bottom when stacking. Use protective covers or wrapping for office furniture, documents or equipment, and keep frequently needed items near the front of your unit for easy access.

Yes. Seasonal storage is one of the most common business uses, including archives, promotional materials, and stock that is only needed at certain times of year. It is a simple way to keep your workspace clear.

Yes, if you choose to allow it. You remain in control of who has permission to access your unit as you own the key that's provided at the start of your rental.

Yes, insurance is required to make sure your items are properly protected. The team can guide you on the minimum cover needed and help you avoid underinsuring your goods.
