Often, storage is the last thing on our minds – and yet the consequences of inadequate storage have a real impact on our lives. Stock that should be carefully kept on racks and shelves lies around on the floor getting damaged; staff can’t find it, so customers can’t buy it – and it does no good to your brand and reputation to have a messy store or warehouse.

At home, too, if there is nowhere to put anything, everything lies around in a heap. Toys, for instance, clutter the floor and can cause a real hazard when a simple set of shelves with storage boxes could restore order and tranquillity in the home!

We know that storage is sometimes forgotten, so we make our website easy to browse. That way, you can see and order exactly what you need rapidly and easily – and you may be surprised at how little our shelving and racking ranges will cost you.

We deliver swiftly and efficiently, because once you have decided to reorganised your storage, we know you want to get on with it.

And we know you will be pleased with the results, whether you have bought racks and shelves for home or for your business. No clutter, everything available to hand when you need it and no stock loss – it’s a far better way to enjoy your home or working environment.

Our need is probably even greater today, because it’s no longer only the rich who have many possessions, or who run businesses that need a ready, orderly supply of stock so the wheels of industry keep turning.

Our storage needs may be a bit more humble than some of the majestic palaces of old, but we still have an enormous need for storage racks and shelving to help us keep our goods in order.

The shelves and racking we stock have been carefully selected to provide flexible solutions whatever your needs are. Perhaps you need sturdy racking for a shop or workshop – we have a large range in different heights and sizes, and we display them with their load-bearing potential and sizes so you can make sure they are up to the job you require them to do.

We also carry specialised racking such as sheet storage racks and pipe and bar racks for individual needs, all selected for their robust qualities.

Our galvanised shelving is a strong answer for storage in areas such as garages and warehouses, but we also have a full range of stylish storage for offices and home, in materials including chrome for an elegant finish.

Check out our storage selection – you could soon be bringing new order to your environment.

It can mean chaos. In a business, insufficient storage can mean poor stock control, and your staff struggle to find the goods they need to sell. At home, it simply means clutter as we try to find storage places to put our things away and live in comfort.

But there is a solution to both of these situations. Shelving and racking, properly thought-out and installed, can bring a new level of tidiness and order to your working or living environment.

We have everything you need to bring order out of chaos. For instance, our shelving starts at just £25 for a sturdy unit. We have shelving and racking that’s great for offices, warehouses and garages – our galvanised heavy duty shelving will bear the load without a struggle, but if you require something more elegant for an office situation you might want to take a look at our tubular shelving or chrome shelving.

We also carry a full range of storage solutions to complement your racking and shelving, including strong plastic boxes and storage bays with flip top lids, to further help you to get things in easy, usable shape.

It’s easy to browse our site and find exactly the storage solutions you need, and it’s even easier to place your order.  Tidiness is not far away!

Installing shelves will help you organise everything and restore order in any crowded home but if you can put in the storage system before moving your belongings in, it’ll save you a great deal of time and effort. Your knick-knacks, books, and craft supplies can go straight from the mover’s boxes and onto the shelf where they’ll stay.

It also makes the process of measuring up simpler. There’s nothing in the way and you’re free to decide what should go where before moving anything into a particular room. Of course, it’s easier to install storage solutions in open, clutter-free spaces, especially if you’re setting up flat-packed or kit furniture. There are plenty of reasons to put the shelves up before moving in.

Next time you move house, get the storage sorted out as soon as the painters and decorators have finished. You’ll end up with a better, more organised home and unpacking will be so much quicker. A little forethought can save you time and make sure your home is messy for the shortest possible time.

If your partner in life drives you crazy by leaving every room a complete mess or they have a hobby that commonly results in a pile of debris you’ve got no time for, you can help by giving them the gift of a storage racking. Not only will that make keeping things neat and tidy easier, it’ll also remove any excuse they might have!

With the right shelving there is no need to leave hobby supplies lying around, and a good solution will make it easier for your husband or wife to look after their things. They’ll soon catch on to the benefits of being able to find anything they need quickly and simply, and you’ll be able to relax in the knowledge that their mess will be cleared up at the end of the evening.

Good shelving or the right storage rack can make the difference between a messy home and a tidy one. It’s so much easier and more natural to clear up when everything has a place and that place is easily accessible.

Take a good look at the space and a good look at what’s in it. Often a small room feels full to bursting when too much of the floor space is taken up with boxes and bags and other bits and pieces, but the pile may only be two feet high. By taking that pile and arranging it in a storage cabinet the full height of the room, you can reduce the surface area it takes up and dramatically increase the available floor space.

These days it’s easy to buy racking in any configuration or size, tailored to fit the oddest shaped space. You can often choose the required length and height, and this will really help you get the best from the wall space in a small room, an attic, or the little hideaway under the stairs.

Proper racks can not only make the tiniest of rooms seem less cramped, it can also make all your bits and pieces easier to find and simpler to put away in their rightful places. If any of the rooms in your home seem too small, consider a new storage solution as a way to make it seem bigger.

In fact, you don’t really need a cellar. Not everyone has a one and not everyone has a huge amount of time and money to devote to building a fine collection, but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep your own wines. A garage will do just as well as long as the temperature stays more or less constant. The storage room should feel a little chilly but not freezing cold.

Bottles should be placed on their sides. This keeps the corks from drying out and shrinking, which can let air into the bottle and spoil it. If you place each one with the label side up you’ll be able to tell if sediments are forming just by looking at the bottle. You don’t need special racking – cardboard boxes full of horizontally stacked bottles will do just fine.

In fact, boxes are sometimes helpful. Ideally a wine space should be dark, and if you want to use the cellar or garage for other things it’s a good idea to ensure the wine is kept away from the light.

Still, you don’t have to abandon the idea completely. Most shelves ordered over the internet come flat packed (as do those bought from a number of large furniture retailers). It’s a far cry from building a storage rack from scratch, but you can assemble these yourself. They usually come with instructions and you won’t need a whole toolbox.

Teenagers can help with the assembly of their own flat pack furniture but younger kids should be kept out of the room in case of accidents. If you want to add a personal touch or get younger members of the family involved, you can always paint the shelves yourself. As long as you put down plenty of newspapers and old sheets to prevent spills and stains there is no reason why little kids can’t help. They can pick the colours for their own furniture and have fun helping mum and dad.

Kids of all ages should be supervised at all times, especially around paint thinners and oil-based paints, but it’s a fun and simple job. A good tip is to pour just a little paint into a try and keep everything else safely out of reach.

These days most people don’t. It’s quicker and much more convenient to order it ready made or flat packed. The finished racking is much better looking and stronger than anything most of us could hope to build and few people have the workshop space or the time required to make furniture. Aside from professional and hobby carpenters most of us aren’t all that great with a saw.

There is still value in the old saying though. Measure twice, cut once has become measure twice, order once. If anything the second version is even more vital. Saw a plank in the wrong placed and you’ve wasted a plank. Order the wrong sized shelving and you’re really stuck- sometimes literally, halfway up the stairs.

Always measure the space available for new racking or furniture carefully. Take note of all three dimensions (including height) and if you’re ordering ready made rather than flat packed consider how you’re going to get it into the room. That’s often the hardest part, especially if you want to put your new purchase upstairs.

Lockers are another great storage solution which can complement racking and shelving and are great for businesses which require staff to wear special clothing and equipment. Wall rack storage can be ideal for shops and make displays which combine clothing, specialist equipment and shoes look dynamic and powerful. Specialist security storage products such as key cabinets, fire vaults, cash vaults and key vaults are also necessary for some businesses and these are also available from a number of online purveyors.

Trucks, trolleys, dollies and ladders are always handy products for the safe transportation of materials around any warehouse and dispatch to transportation vehicles.  For catalogue distribution centres and similar businesses, roll pallets of various sizes can simplify the rapid transportation and delivery of all types and sizes of products.   All of these products and many more can be found at reputable trade outlets and from a selection of premium online sources.

Please take time to shop around for the best deals on all types of storage solutions, from pallets to boxes to complete cantilever systems.
