Containerised storage is the ideal solution for people moving home.  It allows you safe secure storage of your household goods while awaiting completion of sale or purchase of your home.  Many customers have found it to be a huge advantage, not having to worry about completing the sale and moving home all in one day.

How does it work?
When you are ready to move your goods into storage we will arrive at your address as arranged.  Your goods will then be removed from your house and loaded directly into containers which are transported on a special lorry.  When complete, the lorry will return to our depot.  The loaded containers will then be removed from the lorry and stacked in the warehouse by forklift.  When you are ready to come out of storage we will then load the containers back onto the lorry and deliver them to your new address.  Our porters will then unload your goods from the containers into your new home.
 
In some circumstances we may decided not to load the containers at your address but instead load the containers at our warehouse.  This might be because, for example, due to difficult access at your address or some other associated logistical reason.  In such cases we will arrive at your address and load a suitable removal lorry in the traditional manner.  When we return to our depot, We will then offload your goods into your containers at our warehouse.  If your new address has good access we will then arrive with the loaded containers and unload your goods as normal. 

Please contact us for information on our full range of storage options.
