Storage Options to Support Your Move
Storage can be a practical and flexible solution when moving home or when life changes create the need for extra space. At Simply Moving, we provide secure storage solutions for customers in a wide range of situations, from reducing the amount moved on moving day to longer-term storage needs.
We regularly store belongings for customers during home renovations, student summer breaks, extended travel, downsizing, or temporary accommodation between moves. Storage can also be useful if you are moving onto a narrowboat, relocating abroad, or simply need to declutter your home.
Whatever the reason, our storage services are designed to be straightforward and cost effective. We help you choose the right type of storage based on how long you need it for, how often you want access, and the level of protection required for your belongings.
Self Storage, Container Storage and Warehouse Storage
We offer three main types of storage to suit different needs and budgets. Self storage is ideal if you require regular access to your belongings. Units are typically located in purpose-built facilities with on-site staff and reception, although opening hours vary and should be considered if you need early or late access.
Container storage is a lower-cost option for storing larger volumes. Containers are usually 10 or 20 feet in length and located on industrial estates or rural sites. Security and protection against moisture can vary by location, making this option best suited to items that do not require frequent access.
Warehouse storage combines value, security and protection. Your belongings are stored indoors in secure wooden containers within a managed warehouse. This option offers dry conditions, competitive pricing and added security due to limited public access, making it a popular choice for both short and long-term storage.
Simply Moving can arrange all of these storage solutions and advise on the best option for your needs. Use our online storage calculator or speak to our team to work out how much space you require and ensure you get the best value.
