Storage
Containerised Storage
We use the industry standard warehouse containers. These plywood cases hold 250 cubic feet of your household furniture and effects. One of our containers will hold, on average, a 3pc suite, a double bed, a washing machine, a fridge, and 10 - 15 boxes.
We bring empty containers to your door, expertly pack them and then place them in our specialised warehouse facility. When the time is right, contact our office and then we will bring the containers to your new house.
The advantages of containerised storage are:
- Goods are packed and sealed at your doorstep
- Goods are only moved twice - once into the container and once out of the container
- Your goods are kept in a secure and modern storage facility
- Access to your goods can be arranged given 7 days notice, subject to handling charge
Self Store
There are many reasons why you might need storage. You may be moving, and require temporary storage mid move. You may be travelling or taking a temporary job posting. It could be that you're decorating or simply creating some space at home.
Whatever the reason, if you need to store some o your household goods for a few days, a few weeks, or indefinitely you can rely on a member of the British Association of Removers (BAR) to help you out.
Traditional storage is simple and convenient. Your moving company will collect the things you want to store from the comfort of your own home, pack small items into boxes and wrap larger items to stop them getting dusty or damaged.
They will then load it into a purpose-built, wooden storage container, seal it, and then leave for the store. When the vehicle arrives at the store, the container will be unloaded and stacked carefully in the warehouse. It will stay there, untouched, until you want everything back. The system involves the minimum of handling, so everything stays safe.
The safety and security of your personal belongings is taken extremely seriously. Nobody but you should be able to access your container at any time during storage.
Warehouses are secured, alarmed, are often manned 24-hours a day and have closed circuit TV surveillance. Some very modern facilities use steel containers (that can even withstand fire) and are totally automated to eliminate the opportunity for human error or unauthorised entry.
You can access your goods whilst they are in storage but you should try to tell the remover in advance that this is likely and, if you can, which items you wish to retrieve before collection.
Our Self Storage website has a storage FAQ, space calculator and storage hints and tips page that you will find useful when working out your exact storage requirements.
