Why Self Storage Makes Moving House So Much Easier
Moving house is exciting — but let’s be honest, it can also be one of the most stressful things you’ll ever do. Between packing, cleaning, paperwork, and last-minute hiccups, it often feels like there’s a hundred things to juggle at once.
That’s where self storage comes in — not just as a backup plan, but as a smart, simple way to take a huge amount of pressure off your move.
Here’s why using self storage can make moving house a whole lot easier:
1. Declutter Before You Sell
Thinking of putting your house on the market?
A tidy, uncluttered home sells faster and often for a better price. Self storage lets you temporarily move out personal belongings, extra furniture, or anything you don’t need day-to-day — making your home feel bigger, brighter, and more appealing to potential buyers.
2. Make the Moving Day Easier
Trying to move everything in one day is stressful (and exhausting).
Using a storage unit means you can move non-essential items out gradually ahead of time. On moving day, you’ll only have the essentials to handle — saving time, reducing pressure, and making it easier to focus on settling into your new home.
3. Manage Gaps Between Moving Out and Moving In
Sometimes, moving dates don’t line up perfectly.
Maybe your buyer wants to complete quickly, but your new place isn’t ready yet. With a flexible storage solution (like ours at Sheeplands), you can store your belongings safely for as long as you need — whether it’s a few weeks or a few months.
And remember, we only ask for two weeks’ notice, so you’re never tied into a long contract if plans change.
4. Keep Your Belongings Safe and Sound
At Sheeplands Self Storage, we take security seriously:
Over 160 CCTV cameras
Manned patrols
Fully fenced and gated site
Free heavy-duty padlock provided when you move in
Your furniture, family heirlooms, and treasured possessions are kept safe and sound until you’re ready for them again.
5. Flexibility When You Need It Most
Moving is full of surprises — some good, some less so!
With flexible storage, you can easily add space if you need it, access your things when it suits you, and only keep your unit for as long as you need it.
At Sheeplands, we’re here to make things easy, not add to your to-do list.

When we first came to view the unit, we received excellent customer service from Harleen and Mandy – thank you! Their professionalism and friendly approach sold us on booking our unit at Sheeplands Self Storage in Wargrave. We couldn’t be happier with our choice. The whole team is professional and welcoming, and on move-in day another staff member went through everything with us again, which was very reassuring. The unit was spotless and ready to go – absolutely perfect, just what we needed. Nick Middleton2025-09-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
