About this service

Storage usually gets booked for one of two reasons: the new place isn't ready yet, or there's more stuff than space. Both are common enough that most movers offer it.

What varies is the unit size, how long you're committing for, and how easily you can get to your goods. Compare on those, not just the monthly rate.

What warehouse & storage includes

  1. 01

    Short-term storage

    Weeks or a couple of months while dates settle, often between two legs of a move.

  2. 02

    Long-term storage

    Monthly arrangements for goods you don't need in the near future.

  3. 03

    Household storage

    Furniture, appliances and cartons kept packed and inventoried.

  4. 04

    Business storage

    Stock, records and equipment held off-site to free up working space.

  5. 05

    Warehouse options

    Racked warehouse space or dedicated units, depending on the provider.

  6. 06

    Transport in and out

    Movement into storage and delivery out when you need it, arranged together.

Why this works well for warehouse & storage

  • Bridges a date gap

    Handover and possession rarely align. Storage stops that becoming a crisis.

  • Pay for the space you use

    Unit sizes vary, so a small consignment shouldn't be charged as a large one.

  • One provider, two jobs

    Using the same provider for the move and the storage avoids double handling.

  • Terms you can compare

    Notice periods and access rules differ more than headline rates do.

Warehouse & Storage questions

Usually per month, based on the space or unit size your goods occupy. Transport in and out is normally quoted separately.

It varies. Some facilities allow scheduled access; warehouse-racked storage often doesn't. Ask before committing if access matters to you.

Many providers set a one-month minimum. Confirm the notice period for taking goods out as well.

Reputable providers inventory items on the way in and issue you a copy. Ask for it, and check it before you sign.
