Moving house

Options for Moving and Storage

• House Move Self-Storage Units: This provides a lower cost more flexible approach for temporary storage during a house move. Our house move storage units are rented on a monthly basis and provide you with a designated secure space to store your belongings. Our house move self-storage facilities offer various unit sizes and drive-up access. This option allows for easy access to your items, 7 days a week, with the minimum of handling and loading as you park right next to your storage unit.
• Full-Service Movers with Storage: Full-service movers offer a comprehensive moving and storage solution and a service we don’t provide. This type of service takes care of every aspect of your move, including disassembly, packing, transportation, and storage. This option is ideal for those who prefer a hands-off approach and are willing to invest in a more expensive service. However, it’s important to consider how accessible the items will be once they have gone into storage with a removal and storage company.

How to Choose the Best House Move Self-Storage for Your Needs

When choosing the best short-term house move storage for your house move needs, there are several factors to consider. These include:

• Space requirements: Assess the amount of space you’ll need based on the items you plan to store. Self-storage facilities offer a range of unit sizes, as storage containers come in a range of sizes. At Blue Bear Storage, we will help guide you through determining the correct size of the storage unit for your needs, or you can use our online storage size guide.
• Location and access: We have several UK house move self-storage sites with great accessibility where you can drive right up to your storage container 7 days a week.
• Level of Access Required: Our storage containers are ideal if you need regular access to your items with drive-up access to the container. If you prefer the convenience of having the storage container on your property, choose a company that offers curbside storage, which is something we don’t offer.
• Cost efficiency: Our container self-storage is a low-cost way and possibly the cheapest way to buy house move storage. Although short-term storage can be more expensive compared to long-term storage, this is not always the case as we often have special introductory offers such as 50% off the first 8 to 12 weeks at a number of our locations.
• Flexibility: If you’re unsure of your exact moving dates or need the flexibility to extend your storage period, our self-storage can be booked on a month-to-month arrangement. This allows you to rent the space for as long as you need without being tied to a long-term contract.
• Amenities and security: Our security features such as gated access, surveillance cameras, high-security locks, and flood lighting help ensure the safety of your belongings.

Utilising short-term self-storage, you can simplify the house moving process, particularly when you’re between selling and buying a house, or need to renovate before you move in. Whatever your needs, we wish you a happy and successful house move experience. We are just a call away if you need help with your storage needs.
