When self storage can help during your house move

  • Decluttering: giving an impression of more space can make your property easier to sell.
  • Space to sort: move out things that you’re unlikely to need on a day-to-day basis to avoid piles of boxes stacked up.
  • Downsizing: if you are moving into a smaller property but still want to keep some of your possessions then keeping them in storage makes sense.
  • Moving in together: if you’ve got 2 of everything, it can be helpful to store some of your belongings while you work out what you both need and like.
  • Waiting for the perfect property: if you’ve sold your home but not yet found the next one, self-storage can be a short-term solution. Take only what you need and leave everything else packed up for the final move.

Sarah is friendly, welcoming and professional. She explained everything so clearly and when I needed to move my storage back by one week it was very easy. A really nice facility clean and tidy modern and easy to use – Bluetooth technology to access is brilliant also.

Booked a unit here a few weeks ago and had a few extra requests needing taken care of as the unit is far from home. Michelle was extremely helpful and considerate to deal with. Felt really at ease that the stuff was in good hands and it saved us a lot of inconvenience. Thank you kindly.

This place is great, it's so easy to move in and great value for money. I had a few tactical issues with my house move, which was the reason I needed storage, and Michelle really helped me out of a predicament, she was great and I'd recommend this service to everyone. Thank you very much.

Zahran is the most helpful member of staff, I can’t thank him enough for making the process very smooth and easy. He’s an asset to the place and they should reward him highly.
