How storage works

Collect, store, redeliver - one accountable crew

The moving crew loading goods at the front door on collection day
1

Collect

The same crew that handles your move loads everything at your door, then packs it into numbered wooden containers at the depot.

2

Store

Your sealed containers are held securely in our partner network - nothing for you to visit, manage, or worry about.

Redelivery day - your belongings arriving back at the new home
3

Redeliver

When you are ready, we redeliver to your new place - or straight into the next leg of your move.

When storage helps

Three common reasons people store with us

Your chain breaks

Completion dates slip and you need somewhere for everything to go for a few days or weeks. We collect, store, and redeliver when your new place is ready.

You are downsizing

Moving to a smaller home but not ready to part with everything. Hold what you are keeping in a numbered container until you have decided.

The big one

You are renovating and need the house clear

A renovation is the move where storage earns its keep. The whole house - or one floor at a time - needs to be emptied so trades can work, then put back exactly where it came from once the dust settles.

Clear the house, keep the order

Everything is logged by numbered container so it comes back to the right room.

Store for as long as the works run

Hold the contents for the length of the build, redelivered on your say-so.

One crew, start to finish

The same accountable crew empties and refills - no strangers handling your home twice.
