Storage When Moving House

In short: If your sale and purchase don’t line up, one of our insulated 20ft containers at Temple Bruer holds the contents of an average three-bedroom house while you wait. You load straight from the van beside the container, rent by the week (£40, minimum two weeks) or by the month (£130 including VAT), and give two weeks’ notice when you are ready to move everything into your new home.

When storage helps during a move

  • You are waiting for a sale or purchase to complete
  • You are renovating your new home before you move in
  • You are moving abroad and want to keep household possessions safe

A few weeks or a few months

Weekly rental is £40 a week, with a minimum of two weeks, which suits a short gap between moves. For four weeks or more, renting by the month at £130 including VAT costs less, and there is no time limit. Our prices page sets out what you pay.

Moving day

Park a car, van or larger vehicle right beside your container and load straight in, with no corridors, lifts or trolleys. The site is open 24 hours a day; if you are coming before 8am or after 8pm, text or email us first so we have a record for security. There is no light or power inside the containers. Our guide to packing a storage container helps you get everything in.

Keeping your things dry

Our containers are spray-foam insulated to reduce condensation, so furniture and boxes don’t come out damp and fusty. See storing furniture long term.
