Storage Solutions for Your Move: When, Why and How
When Does Storage Make Sense?
The most common reason is a gap between leaving the old property and gaining access to the new one. Other good reasons: renovation needed before moving in, downsizing decisions, moving abroad temporarily, or student storage between academic years.
Self-Storage vs Managed Container Storage
Self-storage gives you a private room with 24/7 access. You rent the full room. Prices from £30/week for a small unit.
Managed container storage — we collect, store in secure containers and deliver back when you're ready. Typically 30–40% cheaper than self-storage for longer stays, with collection and delivery included.
How to Prepare Items for Storage
Clean everything before storing. Wrap upholstered furniture in breathable covers, not plastic. Drain appliances fully. Elevate items off the floor. Fill boxes to the top so they don't collapse when stacked.
