Storage Options

• Short-term storage — Days or weeks. Ideal for bridging gaps between property completions, accommodating builders, or waiting for a new home to be ready.
• Long-term storage — Months or years. Perfect for overseas assignments, extended travel, downsizing, or storing inherited items you're not ready to sort through.
• Containerised storage — Your belongings are packed into a wooden container (approximately 250 cubic feet, enough for a large room's worth of furniture). The container is sealed and stored in our secure facility.
• Self-access storage — Need regular access to your items? We offer units where you can visit during business hours to add or remove items as needed.

How Storage Pricing Works

Storage is charged weekly or monthly depending on the volume stored. One containerised unit (250 cubic feet) is our standard unit. Most 1-2 bed flats fit in one container; 3-4 bed houses typically need 2-3 containers.

We offer competitive rates with no hidden fees. There's no minimum contract period — store for as little as one week. Billing is flexible: pay weekly, monthly, or in advance for a discount.

Collection & Delivery

We can collect your items and deliver them to storage as part of your removal, or as a separate service. When you're ready to retrieve your belongings, we deliver them to your new address. You can also arrange to collect items yourself from our facility.
