Storage in Halfweg between moving dates
Moving dates do not always line up, and renovation may mean emptying a room. Discuss what you want to store and when you expect to need it again.
- Temporary storage during your move
- Discuss volume and duration
- Arrange collection and return
- Agree access to stored belongings
What to share with your request
- An inventory and the estimated number of boxes.
- Your preferred start date and expected storage period.
- The collection address and later delivery address, if known.
- Items you may need to retrieve during storage.
Plan for getting your belongings back
Create an inventory of furniture and boxes, including dimensions of larger pieces. This helps assess the space required. Explain whether everything will return together or whether you may need some items sooner.
Storage requires more than a space allocation. Ask how collection and return delivery work, how access is arranged and which conditions apply to the goods. Agree the storage period and collection arrangements beforehand, including any items you may need back sooner.

Storage questions
Can I access my belongings during storage?
Discuss access before agreeing storage. Tell us if you may need some belongings back sooner, so partial collection can be included in the arrangements.
What if the end date changes?
Report a change as soon as you know about it. Ask which options and conditions apply to an extension or earlier return delivery.
Can transport to and from storage be included?
You can request these together. Provide both transport dates and locations where known, so each journey is described separately.
How much do you need to store?
An inventory, a few photos and an expected period provide a useful starting point for your request.
