Why use Temporary Storage for Renovations & House Moves?

Updated: May 14

Temporary storage keeps your belongings safe during renovations. Clearing the area helps contractors work efficiently, while keeping your furniture, appliances, and valuables secure and accessible.


Embarking on a house renovation or a move is an exciting venture, but it often comes with a fair share of logistical challenges.


One often overlooked, yet incredibly beneficial solution is the use of temporary storage. In this guide, we'll explore some of the top reasons why incorporating storage into your house renovations or moves can be a game-changer for you and your family at what can be a stressful period in your life.




1. Protect Your Belongings During Renovations


House renovations can be chaotic, with dust, debris, and potential damage lurking at every corner. Rather than subjecting your furniture and valuables to the chaos, consider placing them in storage. A secure storage unit ensures your items remain in good condition, shielded from the perils of construction work


2. Create Space for Renovation Work


A clutter-free workspace is vital for a smooth renovation process. By temporarily relocating your furniture and belongings to storage, you provide contractors with ample space to manoeuvre and complete the renovation efficiently.


It's a win-win situation that fosters a more organised and streamlined construction environment.


3. Preserve Your Items During a Move


Moving to a new home is a monumental task, and ensuring the safety of your belongings is paramount. Storage offers a safeguarding solution, allowing you to store items in a secure environment while you focus on the logistics of the move. This minimises the risk of breakage, loss, or damage during the transition.


Or if you’re moving into a ‘project’ house, using storage initially could help you get a headstart on the decorating before moving your belongings in.


4. Facilitate a Smooth Transition


Storage acts as a transitional space during moves, providing flexibility in your timeline. If there's a gap between moving out of your old home and into the new one, storage becomes a convenient interim solution. Your items remain accessible, yet safely stored, allowing for a seamless transition without the stress of rushed moving schedules.


5. Downsize Before Moving


Moving is a perfect time to declutter and downsize. Utilising storage allows you to assess your belongings more clearly. Items you're unsure about can be safely stored, giving you time to decide whether to keep, donate, or sell them. It's a practical way to streamline your possessions before settling into your new space.


6. Flexible Storage Options


Storage solutions come in various sizes and configurations, catering to your specific needs. Whether you're storing a few items during renovations or the entire contents of your home during a move, you can choose the storage unit that fits your requirements. This flexibility ensures you're not paying for space you don't need.


7. Protect Furniture from Damage


Moving furniture, especially large and heavy pieces, poses the risk of scratches, dents, and other damages. Using our team of moving experts, we can place furniture in storage properly, ensuring each piece is carefully packed and shielded from potential harm during the moving process. It's an investment in the longevity and appearance of your items.


8. Stress-Free Unpacking


Upon completion of renovations or arrival at your new home, the last thing you want is to be overwhelmed by the unpacking process. Having items neatly stored allows for a gradual, more organised unpacking experience. You can prioritise setting up essential areas first without the pressure of tackling every box at once.


The best thing about this process - we do all the legwork for you. You just tell us what items you want returned and when and we can ensure they are with you when you want them. 


Choosing the Right Storage Solution for Your Renovation Project


When renovating your home, finding the right storage solution is crucial to keep your belongings safe and your project running smoothly. Here are some key points to consider when choosing a storage option for your renovation:


  • Look for a storage facility that offers flexible rental periods to accommodate the length of your renovation project

  • Consider the size of the storage unit you'll need based on the amount of items you need to store

  • Opt for a storage facility with good security features like CCTV monitoring to keep your belongings safe and protected

  • Choose a storage solution that allows easy access to your belongings during the renovation process

  • Compare the costs of different storage options, such as self-storage units or portable storage, to find the most cost-effective solution for your needs


Making Storage Work for You


In essence, incorporating storage into your house renovations or moves is a strategic move towards a smoother, more organised experience.


What’s more, it may be more affordable than you think - with prices starting from just £3 per square foot of storage.
