Sooner or later, almost every move involves a gap between properties. Sometimes it's a week between completions; sometimes it's six months while a renovation finishes. Picking the right storage product saves you money and a lot of double-handling.
Self-storage vs container storage
Self-storage units in Cambridge are convenient if you'll need regular access. Container storage — where your belongings are loaded once into a sealed timber container and not touched again until delivery — works out significantly cheaper for long-term storage and dramatically reduces handling damage.
How to size a unit
- Studio / 1-bed flat — 35–50 sq ft
- 2-bed house — 75–100 sq ft
- 3-bed house — 150 sq ft
- 4-bed house — 200+ sq ft
If in doubt, size up. The cost difference is small, and a too-small unit means leaving things on the pavement.
What to look for in a storage facility
- 24/7 CCTV and alarmed perimeter
- Dry, ventilated, insulated buildings
- Pest control programme
- Full insurance options
Save with collection storage
Our Cambridge storage service collects your items in our truck, transports them to our facility, and delivers them when you're ready — one set of fees, one inventory, one signature. For most moves it's both cheaper and less stressful than self-storage.
