    Storage solutions to make moving house easier

    Whether there’s a delay between moving out of your old home and into your new abode, or you’re downsizing, moving home storage is the ideal solution. It takes away the headache of what to do with all your belongings!

    Instead of cramming the contents of your home into a relative’s garage, 1st Access has a secure unit waiting for you.

    With temporary storage options and a full move-in service, we can help make even the most complex house move that little bit easier.

    Not sure what size you need? Take a look at our size guide or give our friendly team a call. We can house the contents of a garden shed right up to a full 5-bed family home.

    Moving home storage tips

    • Pack earlier to avoid last-minute home-moving stress. You can always arrange for us to pack for you!
    • Find a flexible storage provider. With 1st Access, you can collect your items as you wish with 24 hour access available.
    • Label your boxes and write-up an inventory. That way you’ll know exactly what’s been placed into storage.
    • Disassemble furniture to avoid damage. This also makes transportation and handling easier.
    • Have a high-value or fragile item you need to place into storage? An antique painting or grand piano, perhaps? Let our experienced team know ahead of time.
    • Get insurance. We have liability insurance, but you should get your own insurance to protect against unforeseen factors.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do you pack things for a storage unit?

    Packing for a storage unit isn’t much different to packing for moving home. You should clearly label your boxes, create an inventory and ensure fragile items are wrapped in protective materials. Heavier, bulky items that you’re not likely to need in the short-term are best placed near the back of the unit. If you’d prefer, we can take care of this whole process for you with our full move-in and move-out service.

    Which home moving storage solution is right for me?

    You can always refer to our size guide for our home moving storage, or you can give us a call for assistance if you’re not sure which unit size is right for you.

    How flexible are your storage solutions?

    Very. We offer temporary storage solutions for short-term purposes as well as long-term solutions. You won’t be tied into a lengthy, binding contract.
