Storage Space for Life Events

Stress-Free Temporary Storage Solutions
Life can take unexpected turns, and significant life events often bring both joy and challenges. Whether you’re moving to a new home or navigating the loss of a loved one, we’re here to offer support with secure and flexible storage solutions during times of significant change.
From Your Place To Our Place
At The Place, we know that the belongings you need to store often carry deep personal meaning and deciding if you should keep or throw away your belongings can be a highly emotional decision that can take some time. Perhaps you just need more space to accommodate changes or extra furniture in your home – self storage can help.
To avoid rushing any important decisions, consider using temporary storage solutions during key life events such as when you move house, retire, have a baby, experience a relationship ending or starting a business.


What Life Events Need Storage Solutions?
Welcoming a New Addition
Welcoming a new baby into your family often means creating extra room in your home. If you need temporary storage to make space for the nursery or safely store items that won’t be used for a while, our units provide a convenient and flexible solution, so you can focus on your growing family.
Starting a Business
Starting a new business is thrilling, but finding space to store inventory, equipment, or office supplies can be a challenge as a start-up. Our storage units are a perfect short-term solution, giving you the flexibility to expand your operations without the pressure of finding immediate permanent storage.
Heading to University
Heading off to university is an exciting milestone, but moving between student housing can be a hassle. Whether you’re looking for a place to store your belongings over the summer or need somewhere secure for those items that don’t fit in your room at halls, our temporary storage solutions for students provide the flexibility and security you need to focus on your studies.

Retirement
Retirement marks the start of a new chapter, often involving downsizing or moving to a more relaxed lifestyle. If you're freeing up space in your home or transitioning into a smaller place, our temporary storage solutions provide the perfect way to keep your cherished belongings safe while you adjust to this exciting new phase.
Losing a Loved One
Dealing with the loss of a loved one is a deeply emotional time, and sorting through their belongings can feel overwhelming. Our storage units offer a safe, respectful space for you to temporarily store items while you decide what to keep, donate, or pass on, giving you the time and space you need to heal.
Navigating a Break Up
Going through a break-up or divorce is challenging enough without having to worry about where to store your personal belongings. Whether you need short or long term storage as you find a new home, we offer compassionate, hassle-free storage options to make the process easier.
Getting Married
Planning your dream wedding can be both exciting and stressful, especially when it comes to storing decorations, gifts, and other essentials before and after the big day. Our flexible storage solutions ensure that everything is kept safe and organised, allowing you to focus on making memories that will last a lifetime.
