Temporary Storage When Your Plans Do Not Line Up

Many storage needs are temporary. You may have to leave one property before the next is ready, clear rooms for decorating, empty a rental before a new tenancy starts or create space during a renovation.

In these situations, short-term storage gives you somewhere practical to keep belongings while you deal with the immediate problem.

Instead of making rushed decisions about what to sell, throw away or move between friends and family, you can keep the items in a short-term storage unit until you are ready for them again.

Store With Us Short-Term, Whatever The Reason Is

You can use the facility for furniture, boxes and household contents, and if you do not want to handle the transport yourself, our removals team can collect and later return your belongings.

Gaps Between Moving Dates

Property chains and tenancy dates rarely work perfectly. You might need to move out on Friday but only receive the keys to your next home the following week. A completion can be delayed, a new-build handover can be moved, or temporary accommodation may be required for a short period.

Short-term storage gives you a practical bridge between those dates.

Renovation and Decorating

Even a relatively short renovation can become difficult when every room is full of furniture.

Short-term storage lets you temporarily clear the areas being worked on, giving decorators, builders and flooring contractors more room to work. Once the work is complete, your belongings can be returned instead of being moved repeatedly from one room to another.

Short-Term Business Storage

Businesses sometimes need temporary space without taking on another commercial unit.

Short-term storage can help during:

  • Office moves
  • Refurbishments
  • Temporary closures
  • Furniture replacement
  • Equipment changes
  • Stock reorganisation
  • Relocation between premises

Short-Term Student Storage

Students often need temporary storage between accommodation dates, particularly during summer breaks, placements or changes of tenancy.

This can work well for:

  • Boxes
  • Books
  • Small furniture
  • Kitchen items
  • Bedding
  • Personal belongings
