It’s a busy life, and whether you are in business or running a home there’s always a huge amount to think about.

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.

Mankind has probably needed storage since it started bringing home firewood – and many of the greatest antiquities in the world have been storage items such as jars, shelves and cupboards.

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 seems we all have a lot of stuff these days – and that’s true whether we run a business with large amounts of stock, or just try to fit more and more into our homes.

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!

When you first walk into a completely empty new home it’s easy to assume that it’ll always feel as open and as airy, and be so easy to keep clean. However, it’s usually not long before reality comes crashing down in the form of countless boxes of heavy winter clothes, scarcely used cookery books, old electronics and all the other bits and pieces we all accumulate over time. In no time at all your beautiful open spaces can be filled with clutter.

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.

There are messy people and there are neat people. It’s quite hard for neat people to live with messy people and, in all fairness, it’s also pretty difficult for messy people to break the habit of a lifetime and get used to picking their wet towels off the floor and remembering to do the washing up. In relationships we all have to learn new things and sometimes it takes effort to adapt to living with someone whose standards of tidiness may be different from our own.

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.

Storing wine properly will make sure it tastes as good as possible when you do want to open the bottle. The right racking and storage methods make all the difference, especially if you want to lay down a high quality bottle or two to mature for a special occasion. There is no reason you can’t buy a good but young wine at a nice cheap price then let it age for a few years in your own cellar.

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.

As well as traditional racking and shelving a range of associated products is now available from many retailers which are designed to make life easier for all those who require flexible storage solutions. For example, storage bays constructed from various metal materials can be combined with plastic storage boxes, allowing for the safe and secure storage of fragile or small items or photographs, files or paperwork, which need to be protected from moisture and other environmental factors.

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.

Storage is an essential part of any business which relies on a regular supply of stock in order to satisfy customers, and you should base your choice of storage rack on the specific materials to be stored.

For example, if you store timber planks or metal sheeting, a cantilever storage rack would probably be your ideal choice. A storage system specifically designed for clothing is also available from a selection of online retailers. If you run a clothing business, it is vitally important that clothes are stored in a manner which protects them from damage and discolouration.  Proper storage and warehousing facilities are pre-requisites of successful distribution and rapid deliveries, so it is important to invest in a system which is flexible and can be added to or rearranged in order to cope with changing business demands.

New business operators sometimes do not realize the importance of storage and warehousing until it is too late but a good warehouse system and great stock keeping practices are the bedrock of all successful retail outlets. If your line of business dictates that you need to store items which are outsized and heavy, then you should carefully size all racking before purchase and ensure the maximum weight capacity of shelves.  There are a select few reputable retailers who trade online and offer good deals on quality shelving and racking systems so shop around for a good deal.  Most firms are happy to advise you on the best options available for your particular requirements.

As the conveniences of the modern world becomes more and more profound, our hunger for space seems to similarly increase. In smaller homes, this can put real pressure on a living space, to the extent that it can undermine both the aesthetics and functionality of the home.

Luckily, one of the features of the modern world is that where problems arise solutions are sure to follow. In regards to spatial management this is definitely the case, and nowadays there are lots of ways to increase the spatial potential of your home, and usurp the space lost to incorrectly stored goods.

When you choose furniture for you home, and you are concerned that space in the home is constrained, you may consider choosing items that have spatial management built in. For example, if you are choosing a dining room table, but are concerned about the loss of space, then you might consider a table that can be folded and stored easily, which will essentially give you the best of both worlds.

Often the best storage solutions to problems are the most simple. Storage racks, although relatively basic, can in fact revolutionize the space in your home and increase the quality of a space by freeing it from incorrect storage of goods.

Whilst you might think that storage racks will only work effectively in certain rooms of the home, such as home offices or utility rooms, they can be equally at home in livable spaces, such as living rooms or bedrooms. This is because modern living spaces strive to contend with items such as DVDS, CDS or computer games, all of which can be effectively stored using a rack or shelf.

The modern home needs to be able to perform on a variety of levels, for example, it needs to be a space that is both functional and well designed. Also, your home will need to cater for the needs of all its inhabitants, which can often be contrasting, particularly if you have children.

Luckily, there are lots of racking solutions for all sorts of applications, which means that even if you have a particular storage requirement by incorporating storage racks into the home you can greatly improve the quality of the space, and solve the problem of incorrectly stored goods.

Certain rooms have their particular demands in regards to space. For instance, whilst a living room area should be optimized to be lived in, it can still be home to a variety of “stuff.” Commonly, people store their DVD collections in their living rooms (which makes sense considering that it is home to the TV).

The obvious problem with doing this is that incorrectly stored DVDs can make a living space seem messy, and undermine the quality of the space. This issue is easily solved, however, with racking specifically designed to house DVDS and CDs.

Whilst DVDs are a common source of spatial issues, your own storage needs may be a little more idiosyncratic. For example, you enjoy a particular hobby or work from home. In either case your living space can be undermined by the build up of goods, and therefore racking is often the only way to regain the space in your home.
