At the end of your short-term storage contract, we’ll return your items to you, or you can collect them yourself if you wish

Short term storage for office relocation

An office relocation requires a lot of planning, and whilst it is ongoing, you’ll need somewhere to safely store your items. Our secure facility can provide a temporary home for office furniture, paperwork, hardware and more. Then, when you are ready to take it back, we’ll organise a delivery to you.

Short term storage of confidential documents

Some items require secure storage to ensure you comply with data protection regulations. At Stockroom London, we provide this – our secure facility means that both digital and physical records can be safely kept until you need them again.

For physical documents, we ensure their careful cataloguing before they are moved into your designated space. Should you have digital files, we can transfer them to secure, encrypted LTO tapes.
