How We Work | Stockroom London

Our process is designed to be clear, structured and reliable. From initial intake through to storage, access and retrieval, every step is carefully managed and clearly logged, so you always know what is stored, where it is and how to access it.

With 24/7 CCTV monitoring and robust security, every item is logged and safeguarded with care. Our service is fully managed, from collection to storage and retrieval. All you need to do is pack the items, and our team takes care of the rest: transport, handling and secure placement in your dedicated storage zone.

Our Process

Initial intake

Clients can arrange their own transport or choose for Stockroom London to manage collection at a time that suits them.

Once items arrive on site, they are placed into a dedicated storage zone and logged into our online inventory system, giving you full visibility of what is stored and where it is located.

Storage

All items are stored within dedicated, access-controlled zones, with entry restricted to authorised personnel.

Clients are welcome to visit their storage space to review, organise or work with their items on site when needed. Storage can be arranged for both short and long-term requirements, without rigid contractual commitments.

Access and retrieval

When you need access to your items, simply let us know.

Our team will prepare your materials and arrange either delivery or on-site access, typically within the same or next working day. All movements are logged, ensuring your inventory remains accurate and up to date.

Disposals

Where items no longer need to be retained, we can arrange secure disposal through approved UK waste management partners.

Materials are shredded or recycled as appropriate, in full compliance with data protection regulations, with certification provided where required.

“In 2020, we needed to move a large number of tapes offsite from our office whilst keeping them somewhere close enough that we could sort and access them as needed. Our archive covers a huge chunk of history, including thousands of unique and valuable tapes (both programmes and raw footage). Stockroom London have been important partners in both preserving and accessing this vital bit of history which is also a major company asset. Their proximity to Central London and the ability to access our collection were among our main considerations. The Stockroom London team have always been incredibly prompt and helpful, routinely delivering tapes back to our office, sometimes on very short notice and even same-day delivery on occasion. The customer service is great and I would recommend them to anyone seeking a safe and convenient storage solution.”
