Life is full of big moments. Some are exciting, some challenging and many of them come with one common problem: a lack of space. Moving house, downsizing, combining households, welcoming a new baby or coping with bereavement often leaves you with more belongings than your home can comfortably hold.
That’s where self storage for life events can make all the difference. At Store More, we understand how emotional and overwhelming these transitions can be. As a family-run business, we’re here to offer you a secure, affordable space to store what matters most, giving you time and peace of mind to focus on what’s truly important.

LIFE EVENTS WHERE STORAGE CAN HELP

MOVING & DOWNSIZING STORAGE
Moving to a new house or downsizing can be stressful, especially when you’re unsure what to keep or where everything will go. With self storage for moving, you can temporarily store your furniture and boxes while you settle in. If you’re downsizing, we’ll keep the items you’re not ready to part with safe, giving you time to decide what works in your new space.
SELF STORAGE FOR MOVING IN TOGETHER
Combining households often means you suddenly have duplicate items or furniture that doesn’t quite fit the new home. Our container storage units offer a clean, dry and affordable place to keep those belongings while you decide what stays, what’s sold or what’s donated. Use self storage to avoid rushed decisions you may regret later.
STARTING A NEW JOB OR BUSINESS
A new job or the launch of a business can bring exciting opportunities, but often a fair amount of clutter, too. Whether you’re relocating for work, setting up a home office or storing extra stock and equipment while your business grows, space can quickly become an issue.
With Store More’s secure, flexible business storage units, you’ll have a convenient premises to keep everything safe and organised, helping you stay focused on your next big step. With easy access and short- or long-term rental options, we make it simple to adapt as your career or business needs change.
MARRIAGE OR DIVORCE
Big life changes, such as getting married or going through a divorce, often involve rearranging living spaces or even combining two households into one. This can leave you with duplicate furniture, personal belongings that don’t quite fit the new setup or sentimental items you’re not ready to decide on just yet.
Our storage units offer a safe, neutral space to keep everything secure until you’ve had time to figure out what works best for your situation. Whether you’re merging homes or separating them, we provide flexibility and peace of mind during these transitions.
WELCOMING A BABY
Preparing for a new baby is exciting, but it often means you need to make extra room at home. From clearing out a spare bedroom to shifting bulky furniture or packing away seasonal items, space can quickly become tight. Store More allows you to store the things you don’t currently need, helping you create a calm, clutter-free environment for your growing family.
And when your baby becomes a young adult, you can help them manage university life with our student storage solutions.
RETIREMENT
Retirement is a time to slow down, travel more or perhaps downsize into a smaller home. But deciding what to keep, what to store and what to pass on isn’t always easy. We give you space to hold on to cherished possessions, seasonal gear or larger furniture that may not fit in your new home. This allows you to make changes at your own pace, without the stress of having to part with meaningful items before you’re ready.
BEREAVEMENT STORAGE
Losing a loved one is one of life’s hardest moments. Our bereavement storage provides a safe, private space for their belongings, allowing you and your family time to grieve without the added stress of making quick decisions about what to keep, donate or sell. Store More provides the ideal temporary storage during these life changes.
