770.0. "Furniture Storage ??" by KERNEL::MCGAUGHRIN (What a Marvelous Delivery) Fri Jun 17 1994 11:33

    
    
    
    We have recently sold our house and will be required to move out
    shortly, but we have yet to find a new home. In the mean time we 
    will require a storage & removal sevice for our furniture.
    
    Does anyone have details of companies that provide such a service ?
    
    	Thanks

Back to the original question - when I moved here I was in rested accomodation
for a while and our furniture was stored with Cantay (they have a depot/storage 
in Houdmills) and the cost wasn't too expensive.

Is that like an old people's home?

I was actually renting an ex-council old person's bungalow so perhaps 
it was rested ;^)

    Ian,
    
    	I think you'll find that there are quite a few removal/storage
    firms available.
    
    When I moved into rented accommodation about two years ago, I used
    Stanley Removals (based in Aldermaston). The amount they charge for
    storage is based on how many sealed containers they use to store your 
    belongings. I think the charge for me was something like 63 quid per month.
    
    It was taken out of store after nearly a year, everything being
    returned in perfect condition.
    
    At the time, I received quotes from about 6 firms, and Pickfords were
    the cheapest by far (they couldn't do the move on the dates I needed);
    the reason being, so they tell me, is that their containers are bigger
    than the ones other companies use.
    
    Unfortunately, you still have to fork out for the actual removal costs
    - from your old place and eventually to your new one!
