The Challenge
When Will began a full house redecoration, he needed to completely empty his home before work could begin. As he would be moving out for at least a month, he needed somewhere secure to store the contents of his house while still having easy access to everyday essentials.
His first thought was to use a traditional self storage facility, but the more he looked into it, the less practical it became. Not only would he need to pay for two months of storage, but he’d also have to hire a van to transport everything there and back, as well as make multiple trips whenever he needed access to his belongings.
On the recommendation of a neighbour who was carrying out the decorating work, Will contacted Storage on Site to discuss an on-site storage solution.
- No van hire required
- No repeated trips
- Pack at your own pace
- Expert delivery into a tight space
- Secure, weatherproof storage
The Solution
Storage on Site supplied a 20ft Furniture Grade storage container, delivered directly to Will’s front garden in Dorking.
Although access was limited, our experienced driver, Joe, carefully positioned the container in a space Will hadn’t thought would be possible.
Having secure storage just outside his home meant Will could move furniture and belongings at his own pace, carrying items out room by room rather than trying to complete everything in a single day. Throughout the project, he could also access clothes and other essentials whenever he needed them without travelling to an off-site storage facility.
The Results
By choosing an on-site storage container instead of self storage, Will estimates he saved more than £700.
Two months of self-storage plus van hire for loading and unloading would have added up quickly. With Storage on Site, once the delivery and collection were arranged, the weekly hire cost proved to be a far more economical solution.
Just as importantly, the container eliminated the inconvenience of repeated journeys to a storage facility, making the entire renovation project much easier to manage.
From the initial booking through to delivery, the process was simple and hassle-free, with clear communication throughout.
Will’s Experience
”Using an on-site container was far more convenient than self storage. We could move everything at our own pace, keep essentials close by and avoid countless trips to a storage facility. It saved us over £700, the container felt incredibly secure, and the whole process from booking through to delivery was straightforward. My driver, Joe, even managed to position the container in a space I didn't think was possible.
