Self storage at Shurgard during a house move

Self-storage during a house move

They say moving house can be one of the most stressful things you’ll ever do. So let the team at Shurgard lend a helping hand. We can help you store your furniture and household goods during your move.

When self storage can help during your house move

Decluttering: giving an impression of more space can make your property easier to sell.
Space to sort: move out things that you’re unlikely to need on a day-to-day basis to avoid piles of boxes stacked up.
Downsizing: if you are moving into a smaller property but still want to keep some of your possessions then keeping them in storage makes sense.
Moving in together: if you’ve got 2 of everything, it can be helpful to store some of your belongings while you work out what you both need and like.
Waiting for the perfect property: if you’ve sold your home but not yet found the next one, self-storage can be a short-term solution. Take only what you need and leave everything else packed up for the final move.

This was the 1st time I’ve had to hire a storage unit and I can highly recommend Shurgard in Hayes on Uxbridge Road. George at the front desk was really pleasant and informative. Just brilliant as I was nervous about what was right for me. If I could have given him more than 5* I would have.

My partner and I recently took out a couple of units and Gary couldn't have given better service. He explained everything in detail without feeling overwhelming and was incredibly amicable and candid. Would 100% recommend Shurgard to friends and family.
