Moving House in East Sussex? How Storage Containers Can Help
Moving house is consistently ranked as one of life's most stressful events. The complexity of coordinating completion dates, moving companies, and the sheer volume of belongings to shift can quickly become overwhelming. Storage containers can take a significant amount of that stress away.
The Problem: Bridging the Gap
In an ideal world, you'd complete on your old property in the morning and move straight into your new one in the afternoon. In reality, most moves involve gaps — days, sometimes weeks — between leaving one property and gaining access to another.
If you have to be out of your old property before you can move into the new one, you need somewhere to put your belongings. This is where a storage container comes in.
How It Works
The process is simple:
- Call us to arrange a container at our Bexhill-on-Sea site
- Move your belongings in at any time — our site is open 24 hours
- Access your storage whenever you need during the move
- Move your belongings out when you're ready — at your own pace, no rush
With drive-up access, a removals van can pull directly to your container door. You can also make multiple trips in your own vehicle whenever it suits you.
No Pressure, No Rush
One of the biggest advantages of our flexible month-to-month terms is that you're not on a clock. If the completion on your new property is delayed — which happens regularly — your belongings are safe and accessible until you're ready to move in.
There's no minimum contract and no penalties for staying longer than planned. The storage is there for as long as you need it.
How Much Does It Cost?
Our 20ft containers start from £150 per month. For most moves, you'll need the storage for one to three months. That's a small cost relative to the convenience it brings — and considerably less than what most East Sussex self storage facilities charge for equivalent space.
