Everything You Need to Know About Office Storage Services

Moving office is always a big change.

Whether you’re downsizing to support a hybrid working environment or moving somewhere bigger due to growth, there is always a lot to think about.

Sometimes it can be hard to line up move-in dates and you may need a place to store your office equipment and furniture in the interim.

In these cases, you may call upon office storage services.

Here at Office Move London, we’ve spent years supporting office moves across London, Richmond, Twickenham and beyond.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at everything you need to know about office storage services.

Types of office storage

Here at Office Move London, our leading storage services have supported businesses and organisations throughout the capital and beyond. Typically, our customers will be able to choose between short-term options and long-term storage facilities. No matter what you need, we’re here to help.

Some of the types of storage we offer include:

Document storage

Your office is likely to have a wide range of important paperwork and documents that need to be kept safe. During an office move, when items are constantly being moved around, it isn’t uncommon for such documents to become misplaced, lost or even accidentally damaged.

To prevent this from happening, document storage can keep all of your paperwork in an external, safe place where it can be accessed at any time.

Furthermore, you may decide that it is better to keep your documents away from the office long term as it offers greater security and less clutter in your office.

Furniture storage

When moving office, the biggest thing you’ll likely have to move is your office furniture.

Tables, chairs and desks will all need to be moved, but you may also need to keep them in storage until move-in day. We provide specialist storage facilities to our clients that will keep furniture safe until it is needed. This includes office desk storage and this option allows you to move into a clutter-free space giving you time to assess what furniture you need and what you may no longer require. Then, depending on which you prefer, we can seamlessly move your furniture over to your office or recycle it.

IT storage

A modern office will inevitably be full of technology, and whether it is desktops or laptops, keeping your IT equipment safe is of paramount importance.

IT storage is an option you may consider, and much like the other options discussed, this will see us keep all of your IT equipment in a safe place until you decide what to do with it.

We also offer a specialist WEEE recycling service which is responsible for recycling electronic equipment alongside the destruction of any important computer files.

Benefits of office storage solutions

There are several advantages to using office storage solutions, including:

Save time – If you need to move into a new space urgently, temporarily placing your office’s belongings in storage will help as you won’t need to worry about moving everything until later down the line.
Move in uncluttered – Moving into a new office with all your stuff in tow will see it become cluttered pretty quickly. You’ll need to begin unpacking almost immediately and there will be little time for planning. However, placing your items in storage will allow you to properly assess the new space, create an efficient floor plan and make the most of your new office.
Safe storage – Office storage solutions provide you with a safe, secure place for important items and documents to be kept while you prepare for your office move.
Save space – Long-term storage may be considered for people who want to save space in their new office, but do not want to get rid of certain items or documents.

As London’s premier choice for all office moves, Office Move London can provide you with the highest level of office move services including office storage. Offering short and long-term solutions, you can rest assured that all your office items will be safe and secure.
