Whether you're between houses, downsizing, renovating or just clearing space, a lot of moves end the same way: things going into storage. The bit nobody warns you about is that the storage part is often the hardest. Here's how to make it easy.
The catch with self-storage
Most self-storage firms will rent you a unit, but they won't carry your things into it. That's your job: hiring a van, wrestling a trolley down a corridor, and stacking it all yourself. A plain man-and-van will move boxes but won't supply the crates. Nobody joins the two up.
That's exactly the gap we fill. We deliver crates, you pack them at your own pace, then we collect them and carry the sealed crates straight into your storage unit or container. You don't lift a thing.
Why crates beat cardboard for storage
For a quick house move, cardboard just about does the job. For storage, left stacked for weeks or months, it's a different story:
- Cardboard sags and crushes under its own weight; rigid crates hold their shape.
- Crates stack safely floor to ceiling, so you fit more into a smaller, cheaper unit.
- Sealed lids keep out the dust, damp and pests a storage unit attracts.
- Add numbered, tamper-evident seals and you'd know instantly if a crate had been opened.
How our storage service works
- We deliver crates and a dolly to your door.
- You pack them at your own pace.
- We collect the full, sealed crates and carry them into your chosen unit or container.
- When you're ready, we bring it all out to your new place.
What it costs
The fully-managed move-into-storage service starts from £395, tailored to how much you have and the distance. Your crates then hire from £1 per crate a month, or you can buy them for £12 each for a long stay. The storage unit itself is paid to the facility.
We cover Sudbury and a 30-mile radius across Suffolk and north Essex. Get in touch for a fixed quote.
