Moving house is one of the most common uses of self storage:

• You’re selling before you buy. Decluttering and staging your home for viewings makes a big difference to your sale price - but where do you put everything? Storage is clean, temporary, and allows you to show off your house. 

• Uncertain dates. Moving can be an unpredictable process with dates and completion changing all the time. Storage gives you somewhere safe to keep everything. 

• You’re moving into a rented property first. If you’re renting while you search for the right home to buy, some of your furniture won’t fit. Rather than selling pieces you love, keep them safe with us until you’re ready.

• You’re renovating before moving in. Why move into a building site? Store your furniture and belongings with us while the work is done, and move into a home that’s actually finished. 

• You’re going through a big life change. Divorce, bereavement, a new job in a new place; sometimes life reshuffles everything at once. We’re here when you need a flexible, no-fuss option.

Whatever your situation, we’ll help you figure out the right solution. Talk to Our Team

How long can I rent a storage unit when moving house? 

You can rent for just a few weeks, with no upper limit on how long you stay. You’re in control of the length of your rental throughout.

Can I access my storage unit during my move?

Yes, our facilities have access hours typically every day, so you can drop things off or collect them when you need to. Check your nearest location for specific times.

What size storage unit do I need for a house move?

It depends on how much you’re storing and for how long. A 50-75sqft unit typically works well for the contents of a one or two-bedroom flat; a larger home may need 100sqft or more. 

Do I need to sign a long-term contract?

No. Whilst we may have benefits for long-term customers, like more cost savings, our storage agreements are flexible. You can start with a short rental and extend if you need to, without being tied into a fixed-term contract. 

Is my furniture safe in storage during a house move?

Yes, our modern facilities are well-maintained and monitored with CCTV. Your belongings are stored in your own private, locked room. We also sell packing materials on-site, to help you protect your items properly before they go in.
