Storage Moves in Plymouth — Moving Belongings To and From Storage — Handled by Professionals Whether you're putting things into storage between tenancies, collecting belongings from a unit, or moving the contents of a storage unit to a new home — Two Man Removals handles storage moves across Plymouth every week. We work with all the major storage facilities in the area and know the access arrangements inside out.
Why People Need Storage Moves Storage moves happen for all sorts of reasons. You're between tenancies and need somewhere to keep your belongings for a few weeks. You're renovating and need furniture out of the house temporarily. You're downsizing and haven't decided what to keep yet. You're a student storing belongings over the summer. You've inherited items and need time to sort through them.
Whatever the reason, the challenge is the same: getting heavy, bulky items from your property to a storage unit — and eventually getting them back again. Doing it yourself means hiring a van, making multiple trips, and lifting everything with no help. Our two-man team handles it in one visit.
We also handle the reverse — collecting from storage and delivering to a new address. This is common when your new home is ready and you need everything brought back, or when you're moving items from a Plymouth storage facility to an address elsewhere.
Storage Facilities We Work With We regularly move items to and from storage facilities across Plymouth and the surrounding area, including Big Yellow Self Storage Plymouth, Access Self Storage, Lok'nStore Plymouth, and various independent storage providers in Plympton, Plymstock, and Saltash.
We know the access arrangements at each facility — gate codes, loading bay locations, lift access, corridor widths and unit sizes. This knowledge means we don't waste time on arrival figuring out how to get your belongings to the unit.
If you haven't chosen a storage provider yet, we can recommend facilities based on your needs — size, access hours, security, and proximity to your address. We're not affiliated with any provider so our recommendations are genuinely impartial.
How Storage Move Pricing Works Storage moves are priced like any other move — based on the volume of items, the distance, and any access challenges. A few boxes and small items to a nearby storage facility is quick and affordable. A full house-worth of furniture to a unit on the outskirts of Plymouth takes longer.
We quote upfront after seeing your list of items and the storage facility location. If you're moving items to storage and then collecting them later, we can quote both legs of the journey separately or as a package.
The storage unit rental itself is between you and the storage provider — we just handle the transport and the heavy lifting.
Tips for Storage Moves Label every box. When you come to collect from storage in three months (or three years), you'll want to know what's in each box without opening them all.
Dismantle bed frames, tables and shelving before storage. They take up less space in the unit and are easier to transport. Keep all screws and fixings in labelled bags taped to the furniture.
Put heavy items at the back of the unit and lighter boxes at the front. If you need to access things during the storage period, keep frequently needed items near the door.
If you're storing soft furnishings — sofas, mattresses, upholstered chairs — consider using dust covers or plastic sheeting to protect against dust and moisture. Storage units can get cold and damp over time.

Frequently Asked Questions How much does a storage move cost in Plymouth? It depends on the volume of items and the distance to the storage facility. A few boxes and small items to a nearby unit is affordable. A full house of furniture takes longer and costs more. We quote upfront after seeing the details.
Can you collect from storage and deliver to my new home? Yes. Collecting from storage and delivering to a new address is one of our most common storage move jobs. We load everything from the unit, drive to your new property, and unload it inside.
Do you work with all storage facilities in Plymouth? Yes. We work with Big Yellow, Access, Lok'nStore and independent providers across Plymouth and the surrounding area. We know the access arrangements at each one.
Can you help me choose a storage facility? We can recommend storage facilities based on your needs — location, size, access hours, security and cost. We're not affiliated with any provider so our advice is impartial.
Will you help load the storage unit? Yes. We don't just dump boxes at the door of the unit — we carry items inside and stack them properly. We can advise on the best way to organise the unit for easy access later.
Can students use this service? Absolutely. We regularly move student belongings to and from storage between terms. It's one of the most popular uses of our storage move service in Plymouth.
What if I'm storing items between tenancies? This is very common. We move your belongings to storage when your old tenancy ends and collect them when your new one starts. We can quote both legs together or separately.
Is my stuff insured during the move? Yes. Our goods-in-transit insurance covers your belongings during transport. Once items are in the storage unit, they're covered by the storage facility's insurance (check with your provider).
