How box storage works
- Tell us roughly how many boxes you have — a guess is fine.
- We agree a collection time and collect them from your home.
- Each box is counted, labelled and logged on your inventory.
- Your boxes go into dry, secure storage arranged by us.
- When you want them back — all of them or some of them — we arrange delivery.
Because you're charged by what you store rather than by renting a fixed unit, small amounts stay affordable. Storing 8 boxes shouldn't cost the same as storing a bedsit.
What goes in the boxes
Books, clothes, kitchenware, toys, files and paperwork, seasonal gear, keepsakes — normal household contents. A few ground rules keep everyone's belongings safe: nothing perishable, nothing flammable or hazardous, nothing living, and nothing damp. Sturdy boxes, taped shut and labelled, travel and store best. If you need boxes or tape, mention it when you book.

Frequently asked questions
How many boxes can I store?
From a handful to a house-worth. Typical customers store between 5 and 30 boxes, but there's no fixed minimum or maximum — just tell us the rough number for your quote.
Do you supply boxes?
Ask when you book — we can usually sort packing materials so everything arrives packed properly and stores safely.
Can I get one box back without taking everything?
Yes — because boxes are labelled and logged on an inventory, we can arrange the return of individual boxes. Give us notice and we'll agree a delivery time; a small retrieval charge may apply, which we'll confirm up front.
What can't go into storage?
Perishable food, plants, animals, anything hazardous or flammable (paint, gas bottles, fuel), and anything damp. If in doubt, ask before packing it.
How much does box storage cost?
It depends on the number of boxes, collection distance and storage duration — request a quote and we'll give you a clear monthly figure with collection included.
