Self-storage for when you Move House

Over the years, we’ve come to realise that one of the most stressful times in a person’s life is when moving home. Not only is it a place where you’ve set your roots, but also somewhere you’ve filled up with completely useless yet valuable items! Let our team at Store That help you out. We’ve helped our customers store furniture, household goods and personal items during their moves; we can do the same for you.

How can we help you during your move?

Decluttering - Make some extra room for the kids to run around, or just to make things look and feel tidier! This can also help to give the impression of more space, making your property easier to sell.

Downsizing - Have the kids finally outgrown living at home? If you're downsizing homes, but still want to keep all of those treasured memories; a self-storage unit is a great place to store them all.

Process of elimination - On moving day, it can get confusing what goes where and how. In advance, it would be a good idea to move all of the items you won't need, or the less important items into storage until you've got everything else settled.

Moving in together - Do you need or want 2 sofas and beds? Chances are, it's neither. Until you're able to sell/give away the duplicates or unnecessary items, storing them with us will keep them safe and your home clutter free!

Holding out hope - If you've still yet to find that perfect house, you know, the one that just calls your name; self-storage can be agreat short-term solution.

Self-storage for when you travel/move abroad

From big & fancy exotic getaways to quick city breaks; it’s always a relief knowing that you’ve left your belongings safely stored away.

Why use self-storage when travelling?

For homeowners: If you plan on travelling for a long time or going on holiday for a while, it can make sense to rent out your home to get a little extra income whilst away on holiday. What could be better than making money whilst sat on a white sandy beach, pina colada in hand?! You may not want the tenants to have access to all of your possessions, especially not the sentimental ones; that's where we come in!

For renters: It's almost always a struggle to convince a friend or family member to 'housesit' whilst you're away. Avoid the stress of hunting someone down by putting your items in one of our secure self-storage units instead.here

Self-storage for students

We know how much of a dark cloud having to haul your stuff to and from uni can be when heading off onto your holidays. Make your life easier by storing them in one of our cost-friendly and secure self-storage units. We’ll work hard to keep your items safe, whilst you sit back and soak up that glorious golden sun!

Why you should rent whilst studying

Security in a shared house - Your housemates can become vital in the survival of university, but if they don't, then perhaps consider keeping some of your items in storage. Your housemates may be amazing, but you may not be so sure about their friends..

Don't be the hoarder housemate! - Over the course of the year, you may come to find yourself accumulating quite a collection of items. If it doesn't fit in your room, we'll have the space to store it for you.

Small room, lots of stuff - Your room may end up being too small for the stuff you've brought. A storage unit could be the perfect extension for all your non-essential items.

Back home for the summer - Don't want to lug all those accumulated items home every year? Easy; put them in one of our storage units during the summer months.

Building a social life - The corner stone of any great and memorable uni experience is the social life that comes with it. You'll make new friends quickly and start trying amazing new activities. The downside is that these activities come with space eating equipment. There's no reason you can't store a canoe, ski set or mountain bike with us!

Self-storage for decluttering/making some room!

There’s often an overwhelming feeling of frustration or restlessness that accompanies not having enough space. If it’s starting to feel cramped or overwhelming, get in touch with us to book a self-storage unit. This will give you somewhere safe to store all of your items, easily accessible, for however long you need to.

The benefits of decluttering?

Space. Lots and lots of space. - If you constantly find yourself struggling for space, it's more than likely that you've got too much barely used stuff cramped into too little space. Put the majority of it into storage and you'll see just how much of a burden has been lifted!

Downsizing - If you're looking to downsize into a smaller home, but can't bear to part with your sentimental goods, putting them in self-storage is the way to go.

Selling your house - One of the top things a buyer looks for in the purchase of property is space. Open up your home and give the impression of spaciousness by putting your items into self-storage. This could be the difference between a sale and 'unresponsive listing'!

Self-storage for renting out your home

You’ve finally managed to get the kids to move-out and now you’re faced with the decision to downsize or keep the beloved family home. You could leave their rooms empty and unoccupied, or rent them out! Whether it’s an AirBNb or just a standard tenant, you may have considered putting all those treasured memories and personal items somewhere safe and out of the way of your new housemates!

Why you should rent whilst hosting your home

For everyone to feel at home - Allow everyone to feel at home by minimising the amount of personal items. You may not have room for them all in your bedroom, so put them in self-storage!

Privacy - Like most people, you may not feel comfortable sharing your inner most intimate details about your life. To keep a tight grip on your privacy, put personal items into our secure storage.

More space! - If you have more than one room and want extra dosh, why not more all of the stuff that you won't be needing on a regular basis into self-storage? It'll make your home positively desirable and a happy place for others to live and work in!

Self-storage for renovating or extending your home

We can more than understand the absolute chaos and drama that comes with renovating or extending your home. Living in total chaos for even a few weeks is enough to drive anyone mad! Make things easier for yourself and put some of your items into storage. It’ll help keep that expensive Chesterfield from paint spots!

Why you should rent whilst renovating or extending

Keeping your high-value items safe - In storage, your items (like TV's, games consoles, lamps, sofas, etc) won't get damaged, knocked over or covered in paint or dust.

Decorate the easy way - We've all gone to give our homes a fresh lick of paint, only for it to take ages! Who knew painting could be so time consuimg?! Well, a large part of that can be attributed to having to constantly move items around and change their coverings too. Make it easier and less time consuming by putting some items in storage!

Giving the buiders space - It'll make the workers more productive and their jobs easier if they have the room to manoeuvre.

Decluttering - With the updated interior, you're going to want items/furniture that matches. Storage can be a great place to sort through all your items and move back the things that give off the same 'vibe'.

Builder flexibility - We don't mean yoga! If your builders are running behind schedule or your new white goods/fitted kitchen arrives early, storage is an excellent solution for keeping them safe until the builers give the 'go-ahead'!
