Storage Unitsin Harrogate

Climate-controlled storage at our Knaresborough depot on Forest Moor Road, run by the same trained, permanent team that has been moving North Yorkshire households since 1976.

Need somewhere safe to put your belongings while you move, renovate, or rotate office stock? Our storage units in Harrogate sit at our Dale House depot on Forest Moor Road in Knaresborough, a few minutes from the A1(M) and the A59. The building is fully alarmed, the warehouse is climate-controlled, and the team handling your items is the same one that loaded the van.

Household customers use it for the awkward gap between exchange and completion, for downsizing while a new build finishes, or for storing furniture during a kitchen or loft conversion. Business customers use it for office relocations, archive overflow, exhibition kit, and stock that needs to come off-site for a refurbishment. Units run from 25 sq ft (the contents of a small room) up to 300 sq ft (a four-bedroom house with a garage). If you want to walk the warehouse before you book, our coordinator will arrange a viewing.

What you can store

Most household and commercial items are welcome. The full list is decided at survey, but the common categories are:

– Furniture: sofas, beds, dining sets, wardrobes, antiques, pianos.

– Boxed goods: kitchenware, books, clothes, decorations.

– White goods: fridges, freezers, washing machines (drained and defrosted before collection).

– Garden and garage: lawnmowers (fuel drained), bikes, tools, golf clubs.

– Business stock: filing, IT equipment, exhibition stands, archived paperwork.

– Vehicles: classic cars, motorbikes and trailers can be stored separately at the depot, ask at survey.

Items we cannot accept: anything flammable or pressurised (petrol, gas bottles, paint thinners), perishable food, plants, livestock, firearms, and anything illegal. If you are unsure about a specific item, ask the coordinator before collection day.

How storage pricing works

Storage cost in Harrogate depends on three things: how much you need to store, how long you need it for, and whether you need us to collect or you are dropping off yourself. We price per container or per square foot, billed monthly, with no exit fee at the end of the term.

A typical two-bedroom house fits into roughly 75 to 100 sq ft. A three-bedroom house with a garage usually needs 150 to 200 sq ft. Office relocations vary too widely for a rule of thumb, so we always survey first. Tell our coordinator the postcode, the rough volume, and the start date, and we will come back with a fixed monthly price and a clear collection cost. No estimate creep, no surprise charges at month two.

Short-term and long-term storage options

Short-term storage covers anything from a single weekend up to twelve weeks. It suits chain delays, renovation gaps, and the period between an old tenancy ending and a new property completing. We can collect, store, and redeliver inside one ticket so you only deal with one team.

Long-term storage runs from three months to multi-year. We have customers who have stored with us for over a decade, often while working overseas or while a property is being renovated. Long-term customers get priority access slots, and the rate stays fixed for the agreed term so the monthly cost is predictable.

If your move is a UK to Spain or Spain to UK relocation, we can also stage belongings at our Almoradi depot in Spain, joined up to the Harrogate site by our weekly UK to Spain to UK service. Tell the coordinator at survey if you need both ends covered and we will route the job as one project.

How to book storage in Harrogate

Booking is a four-step process and a single coordinator owns it from start to finish:

1. Tell us what you need to store, the start date, and your postcode. A pre-survey call is enough for small jobs; for whole-house or whole-office storage we will arrange a free home or site survey.

2. We send a fixed-price quote covering the unit, collection, and any redelivery. Inventory is recorded by your team on collection day so nothing leaves the warehouse without sign-off.

3. We collect using our own trained crew and our own fleet, no sub-contracting. Items are wrapped using export-grade materials, blanket-wrapped where needed, and crated for the warehouse.

4. Access is by appointment with 24 hours notice. Redelivery is booked the same way: tell us the date and address, and we will route it on the next available run.
