Our distribution centre and storage expertise

Storage space only pays when goods move through it quickly and safely. We lay out the building around picking, dispatch and people, then build it.

  • Storage layouts

    Zones planned around how stock arrives, is stored and leaves. See warehouse layout design.

  • Racking and safety barriers

    Pallet racking and metal safety barriers, as at Banbury.

  • Dispatch routes

    A clear route from storage to dispatch, as in Drake's railway arch.

  • Welfare and offices

    Changing rooms, lockers, kitchens and offices for the team.

  • Power, lighting and heat

    Electrical layouts, work-zone lighting and heating.

  • Ventilation and drainage

    Fume extraction and pumped drainage where there is no natural outflow.

How we deliver a storage or distribution project

We walk the building, the yard and the flows of goods with you.

Storage layout and specification, then one lump-sum price.

Landlord consent, Building Regulations and the building's fire strategy.

Phased so stock keeps moving. Around 60% of our labour is in-house.

Systems inspected and tested, snags closed, ready to use.

Distribution centre and storage: your questions

Can you work in a distribution centre that is still dispatching?

Yes. We phase the works so stock keeps moving. Our Banbury warehouse project carried on working through its fit-out.

Can a storage building also take offices and a dispatch route?

Yes. In Drake's Warehouse, Bethnal Green, storage and a dispatch route sit alongside offices, a photo studio and manufacturing.

Where do new warehouse schemes sit?
What size of storage and distribution projects do you take on?

Storage and distribution projects from £100,000 to £10M+.

Which storage and warehouse projects have you delivered?

Warehouse fit-outs such as Hackney and Banbury. See all case studies.
