Business Stock Storage

Stock levels rarely stay the same throughout the year. A new product launch, supplier delivery or busy trading period can leave you needing more room before those goods are sold.

Self storage for stock gives you additional space while keeping your existing premises available for customers and day-to-day work.

Selling primarily online? Explore our storage for online retailers or dedicated Amazon seller storage page.

Our units range from 10 to 275 sq ft. The right size depends on your stock’s dimensions, how safely it can be stacked and how often you need to retrieve individual items.

For business stock storage, floor area is only part of the calculation. A tightly packed unit may hold your inventory but make regular stock checks and replenishment difficult.

Before choosing a unit, consider:

• Your busiest stock level: estimate the largest quantity you expect to hold, rather than today’s inventory alone.
• Carton sizes and stacking limits: measure your packed goods and account for fragile or non-stackable products.
• Access space: leave a clear route to the lines you collect regularly.
• Incoming deliveries: allow room for new goods before existing stock has sold.
• Your storage layout: discuss shelving, bulky goods or palletised stock with our team before booking.

View our storage size guide or bring your inventory list and measurements when you visit. We can help you compare the available units.

If your stock levels change, you can move to a larger or smaller unit when a suitable space is available. There is no charge for the transfer itself; your rental price adjusts to the new unit.

If one unit is not enough, speak to our team about using multiple large units positioned next to each other. This can give growing businesses additional capacity without moving their stock to larger commercial premises.

Check Prices & Availability

We can accept deliveries on behalf of business customers. Arrange this with our team before directing a supplier or courier to the facility.

Let us know what is arriving, its size and quantity, and the expected delivery date. For large or palletised deliveries, confirm the unloading arrangements and what assistance is available before placing your order.

Our Melksham facility has 24/7 4K CCTV monitoring, intruder alarms and fire/smoke detection, with personalised fob access to the storage area. You secure your individual unit with your own padlock.

Segment Storage is also a member of the Self Storage Association (SSA).

If your products have particular temperature, humidity or handling requirements, discuss these with us before booking so we can confirm whether our storage is suitable.

Examples of stock to discuss with our team include clothing, books, stationery, homeware and other non-perishable retail goods.

Food, plants, flammable goods, compressed gases and hazardous substances are not permitted. Some product ranges contain restricted items, so check suitability before arranging a delivery.

Our storage FAQs explain the restrictions in more detail.

Our smallest units start from £48 per month including VAT. Your final quote depends on factors including the amount of space you need, how long you intend to store, demand for your chosen unit size and whether you choose a ground-floor or first-floor unit.

Ground-floor units are generally more expensive because they offer easier access for loading and unloading. If you do not need to retrieve stock regularly, a first-floor unit may offer better value, with lift access available.

The rental price does not include Goods Protection, a padlock or the £10 security-fob deposit. Free parking and use of our trolleys and trucks are available to customers.

Visit our storage pricing page for details or ask us to quote against your stock requirements. Quotations are valid for 28 days.

We offer month-to-month rental arrangements, with payments made monthly in advance. When you no longer need your unit, we ask for 14 days’ notice.

If you know you will need stock storage for longer, speak to our team about available 6 or 12-month pre-payment discounts.

If you only need space for a short promotion or seasonal delivery, contact us to confirm the charges for your planned dates.

Goods stored with us must have suitable protection. We offer Goods Protection through Hiscox, subject to its terms and exclusions, or you can provide an alternative policy that meets our requirements.

Our Goods Protection applies while goods are inside the storage unit, not during transport, loading or unloading.

If the replacement value of your stock changes as inventory rises or falls, you can ask us to increase or decrease the amount of Goods Protection. There is no penalty for changing the protected value.

Check the Goods Protection details and discuss your stock’s value and product types with our team before moving in.

A consistent layout makes it easier to find products and spot when supplies are running low.

• Label by product code: mark cartons with the product, variant and quantity.
• Assign locations: give each shelf or stack a reference and record it in your stock list.
• Separate product lines: avoid mixing similar items where they could be collected by mistake.
• Put regular sellers within reach: keep frequently collected goods near the front.
• Rotate older stock: where appropriate, arrange deliveries so existing stock is used first.
• Update quantities after each visit: record goods added and removed so your inventory reflects what is actually stored.

Keep goods clean and dry before packing, use suitable cartons and avoid stacks that could crush products or become unstable. Boxes, tape and protective materials are available from our on-site box shop.
