Self storage for during a house move at Shurgard

Self-storage during a house move

They say moving house can be one of the most stressful things you’ll ever do. So let the team at Shurgard lend a helping hand. We can help you store your furniture and household goods during your move.

When self storage can help during your house move

Decluttering: giving an impression of more space can make your property easier to sell.
Space to sort: move out things that you’re unlikely to need on a day-to-day basis to avoid piles of boxes stacked up.
Downsizing: if you are moving into a smaller property but still want to keep some of your possessions then keeping them in storage makes sense.
Moving in together: if you’ve got 2 of everything, it can be helpful to store some of your belongings while you work out what you both need and like.
Waiting for the perfect property: if you’ve sold your home but not yet found the next one, self-storage can be a short-term solution. Take only what you need and leave everything else packed up for the final move.

Had the pleasure of dealing with Wayne who was very helpful. He explained all the storage sizes and costs involved, which were all competitive. Highly recommend!

Top company to work with. Makes life very easy for you rather than a lot of other companies who seem to not want to do that.
