Trying to find a location (warehouse, empty office space)
Discussion
Hi Everyone,
I am currently helping a friend of mine to organize a shoot for a music video.
The band will be performing the song in a disused warehouse, or empty office space, or similar. Problem is, we just can't find the place!!
I know it's a long shot, but does anyone on here happen to know of a location fitting this sort of description, in the Berkshire area? Or close to?
We have found a couple of places online that fit the bill, but they are owned by large companies who are unwillingly to let us use the facility for a couple of days. We also found a farm with a large storage unit that they are looking for someone to rent, but won't let us use it for two days.
The producer of this video is happy to pay a fee, if needed. Although obviously if somebody knows of a place where they may not charge even better!
I wonder if it might be more agreeable to a private individual, or family run business, or farmer etc, as large office companies just won't entertain the idea.
Any help appreciated, and to give you an idea of the kind of space that would be ideal, here's a couple of examples.

"but won't let us use it for two days"
Which is the problem if they have dealt with production companies before.
2 days = 4, maybe 5. Oh and we want access to site from 04:00 each day.
I do 2 or 3 jobs a year for TV / film etc and its such a faff every time I say never again but then I get some bit of flange on the phone and I cave in again. Its like they know my weakness. Last job was meant to be 4 hours. Turned into 3 and a half days.
Best of luck though!

I have an empty unit on Suttons Business Park in Reading, but not back in the country until late January.
SlackBladder you may well be our saviour, end of January is fine as shoot won't be until Jan/Feb anyway. If you wouldn't mind, would you be able to PM me details and any photos of the space? After Christmas or whenever you can of course.
Many thanks

Still searching, anyone have any ideas/spaces, please feel free to contact me!
Huge long shot but there are some warehouse units for sale in Amersham / South Bucks that might work IF you can get access through the agent.http://propertylink.estatesgazette.com/property-de...
