Short-Term Storage During a House Move: What to Know

Moving house isn’t always a straight line from A to B. There are times when move-out and move-in dates don’t quite match up, or when you need to declutter ahead of selling. That’s where removals and storage services come in. In this post, we explore how short-term storage can simplify your move—and why having both services under one roof makes all the difference.

1. Why You Might Need Storage Mid-Move

   There are plenty of reasons to use short-term storage during a house move:

   • Your new home isn’t ready yet

   • You're staying in temporary accommodation

   • You want to stage your property for sale

   • You're downsizing and need time to sort belongings

   Instead of living around boxes or making rushed decisions, storage gives you breathing space.

2. The Convenience of Combined Removals and Storage

   Using one company for both removals and storage keeps things simple. Central Removals, for example, can pack, collect, store, and redeliver your belongings when you’re ready—no need to coordinate between multiple providers.

3. What to Look For in a Storage Service

   When choosing storage during a move, check for:

   • Security – 24/7 monitoring and secure access

   • Flexibility – Daily, weekly, or monthly options

   • Clean, dry units – Protects your furniture and personal items

   • Easy access – So you can retrieve things if needed

4. How the Process Works

   At Central Removals, it’s all straightforward:

   1. We collect your belongings on moving day

   2. Store them in our secure, purpose-built facility

   3. Deliver them to your new home when you’re ready

5. Peace of Mind During a Busy Time

   Moving house is a big moment. Using short-term storage not only solves practical challenges but also gives you peace of mind knowing your belongings are safe and looked after.
