Storage Pricing: Space, Time and Handling

Storage quotes are built from three things — the space you occupy, how long you occupy it, and the work involved getting your things in and back out again.

Understanding those three makes it obvious where you can save money.

Space is measured by volume, not room count

A tightly packed two-bed house can take up less space than a lightly packed one-bed with bulky sofas. Boxing up and stacking properly reduces the footprint and therefore the cost.

Length of stay changes the rate

  • Short holds between completion dates are priced by the week.
  • Longer stays — students over summer, renovations, deployments — are cheaper per week the longer they run.
  • Flexible contracts mean you're not tied in when your dates move.

Handling in and out

If we collect from your home, store, and then deliver to your new address, that's two moves plus the storage. Bundling those together with one provider avoids paying two firms to handle the same furniture twice.
