Flexible by design
Storage is billed month to month. You don't need to know your end date to start — most of our customers don't. Store for one month or six; when your situation resolves, request your return and we deliver. If plans stretch, storage simply continues; if they resolve early, it ends. Either way, the storage adapts to your dates instead of the other way round.
Common short-term situations
- Between properties — the classic gap between a sale closing and keys to the next place. See house move storage.
- Renovations — furniture out while floors, kitchens or extensions go in.
- Working away or travelling — belongings safe while you're gone, waiting when you're back.
- Family changes — a room becoming a nursery, a house being cleared, a temporary move in with family.
- Selling a house — decluttering before photos and viewings, which estate agents will tell you is worth real money.
Short-term doesn't mean casual
Whether items are stored for three weeks or three years, the handling is identical: collected from your door, photographed and logged on an inventory, kept in dry, secure storage arranged by us, and returned checked against the same list. Short-term customers get the full service, not a corner somewhere.
Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum storage period?
Storage is billed monthly. If you only need a few weeks, ask for a quote anyway — short stints are often exactly what people need between houses.
I don't know my end date — is that a problem?
Not at all, it's normal. Storage runs month to month until you request your return.
Can I extend if my plans change?
Yes, automatically — storage continues until you ask for your things back. No renewals to remember, no re-booking.
Is short-term storage more expensive per month?
Your quote is based on what you store and the collection involved. Ask for your actual figures — there are no penalty rates for storing briefly.
How fast can storage start?
Request a quote with your preferred collection date. Outside the month-end rush we can often collect within days.
