New Baby – Need more space?

Starting or growing a family is one of the biggest changes we can face. It is an exciting time and also one that can highlight how much room there is in your home.

Suddenly, the spare room becomes the dream nursery for the new baby: at least after it has been cleared of belongings such as fitness equipment, collections, or spare furniture.

Our secure and weatherproof storage units are the ideal place for new parents to store items ranging from electrical equipment to heirlooms, easing space pressure.

All you have to do is choose your nearest Blue Bear Self Storage site, pick a storage unit size that meets your needs, then drive up and fill your container.

Need more storage when downsizing?

Moving to the other end of the life event spectrum, when the kids have flown the nest, downsizing to a smaller home can make sense for several reasons.

But that does not mean you should feel the pressure to ditch all your belongings.

Our secure storage units are big enough to accommodate even the bulkiest items, from large pieces of furniture to smaller, more precious objects such as important documents or family photos.

Our self-storage solution will ensure all those memories are not only safe and secure; they’re just a short drive away and available to you seven days a week.

Getting married or moving in together – more space required?

Getting married is another one of the biggest life events we can navigate.

Whether you are getting married for the first time and moving into your new marital home, or moving home and creating a single, blended family, it is great to know that, before and after the big day, there is a safe space to store everyone’s possessions.

The range of self-storage units at our sites means you and your new partner can scale your storage up or down as and when you need, hassle-free.

Whether you want a short-term space to store items until you get your own place or need a bit of extra space as you combine your belongings, we have you covered.

Break ups and divorce can affect your storage needs

It is a sad fact that not all major life events are happy ones. It is reassuring to know that if your relationship breaks down, there is a space where your possessions can be stored securely until you are back on your feet and in a new home.

The last thing you need is extra hassle at such a challenging time, so our secure self-storage is the perfect solution if you want help at short notice.

Our online booking is simple: just choose your location, storage unit size, and how long you will need it for, and we will send you a quote.

Need more space to run a new business from home?

Launching a new business can be a huge life event, especially if it takes off and starts making money.

Our self-storage facilities are well-maintained, secure, and covered by CCTV. They are perfect for storing excess stock or important documents for small and medium-sized businesses.

Loading and unloading your belongings is easy in our accessible sites, where you can drive right up to your storage unit. As if that was not enticing enough, the cost of our long-term storage is very competitive.
