Using Manchester Storage Solutions During Renovations

Within a city like Manchester, space is often at a premium and protecting your belongings becomes more challenging. That’s why choosing the right Manchester storage solutions can be a key part of a smooth renovation project. We offer many storage services from business, student or domestic, removing the hassle of traditional self storage — we’ll deliver a vault to your door, you load it, then we collect and store it in our secure facility.

Why Storage Matters during a Renovation

Aberdeen Storage Services
  • Protect your possessions: Dust, paint splatter, vibration, and accidental knocks are all part of the renovation process. Storing items offsite reduces risk of damage.
  • Maximise workspace for trades: Builders, electricians, plumbers and decorators need clear floor space to work safely and efficiently.
  • Compensate for limited space: Many Manchester properties (terraced houses, period builds) lack spare rooms or large driveways. Offloading bulky items temporarily frees up valuable space.
  • Maintain access and order: With a professional storage solution, you retain control and access over what you store, and you reduce clutter in the living areas.

Phases of Renovation & What to Store

You won’t need to store everything at once. Plan when to move different items:

  • Pre-work / demolition: Sofas, non-fixed fixtures, appliances, loose furniture
  • Structural / rewiring / plumbing: Shelves, boxed items, decor, electronics
  • Finishing / painting / flooring: Carpets, rugs, smaller furniture, artworks
  • Phased renovations: Clear each zone just before works commence, then rotate vault usage

 

Because our service is mobile, it eliminates much of the double handling — you don’t have to haul items to a separate storage facility yourself.

Practical Tips for a Successful Move

 

  • Clearly label boxes and vault contents by room and priority
  • Maintain an inventory and photographic record of items before storage
  • Keep daily necessities separate so you don’t lose access to essentials
  • Avoid overfilling a vault — leave space so you can retrieve items
  • Coordinate with your contractor/trades to fit storage moves into their schedule
