Storage for House Moves

Chains fall through, completion dates slip, and sometimes you simply exchange contracts before your new home is ready to move into. Any of these can leave you needing somewhere for your belongings to sit for a few days, a few weeks, or occasionally longer — without paying for a second removal van trip or leaning on friends' garages.

Booking a unit for the transition period means your removal only has to happen once. Everything goes from your old home into storage, and from storage into your new home when it's ready — rather than trying to time a single removal van around two sets of keys on the same day, which is where most moving-day stress comes from.

It also gives you room to decorate or repair your new home before moving furniture in, which is far easier in an empty house than around stacked boxes.

We stock packaging supplies on site — boxes, tape and furniture covers — so you can pack properly without a separate shopping trip, and trolleys are available to help move heavier items from your van to your unit. Drive-up access means minimal carrying distance, which matters most on the day you're already tired from a move.

Moving-related storage rarely means everything you own — usually it's the furniture and boxes that don't need to go straight into the new property, or that you're keeping out of the way while you decorate. A 10ft container typically covers a flat's worth of furniture and boxes; a 20ft suits a full house move; a 40ft gives room for a large house plus anything bulky like garden furniture or a shed's contents.

If you're only storing part of a move — say, spare furniture while you redecorate a couple of rooms — it's worth erring smaller and upgrading if needed, rather than paying for space you won't fill. Our team can help you judge this over a quick call before you book.
