Finding somewhere to store your belongings can be difficult enough without having to hire a van, load everything yourself and make repeated trips to a storage facility. For homeowners and businesses in West Lothian, Purdie Worldwide offers a simpler alternative with its storage collection and delivery service.
With Door to Store, a secure storage container is delivered directly to your property. You can load your belongings at your own pace before Purdie collects the container and takes it to secure storage. When you need your items again, the container can be delivered to an address of your choice.
Whether you’re moving house, renovating your property, decluttering or preparing for an international move, this flexible approach can make storing your belongings much easier.
What is storage collection and delivery?
Traditional self-storage usually means taking your belongings to a storage facility yourself. That can involve hiring a vehicle, making several trips and finding somewhere to park while you unload.
Storage collection and delivery turns the process around.
Instead of taking your belongings to the storage facility, the storage unit comes to you.
Purdie’s Door to Store service provides a secure 250ft³ wooden storage container, which is delivered directly to your home or business on a specially adapted trailer. Once it arrives, you can load your belongings into the container before it is collected and transported to secure storage.
This means you can manage your storage without having to arrange separate transport.
How does Door to Store work?
The process is designed to be straightforward from start to finish.
Who can benefit from storage with collection?
Storage collection and delivery can be useful in a wide range of situations. You might need temporary storage while waiting to move into a new property or simply want to clear some space at home.
Moving house
There can be a gap between leaving your old property and moving into your new one. Instead of trying to coordinate your belongings around different moving dates, you can place them into storage until your new home is ready.
Home renovations
Major renovations can make it difficult to keep furniture and other possessions safely in your home. Moving them into storage can create more space for contractors to work while protecting your belongings from dust, debris and accidental damage.
Decluttering
If you’re clearing out your home but aren’t ready to part with everything, storage provides somewhere secure to keep items you want to retain without filling your living space.
Business storage
Businesses may also need additional space for stock, equipment, furniture, documents or other possessions. Having a storage container delivered directly to your premises can make the process more convenient.
Moving overseas
If you’re relocating abroad, storage can provide useful flexibility while you organise your international move. Some belongings may need to remain in the UK temporarily, while others can eventually be delivered to your new home overseas.
How much can you fit in a storage container?
Each Door to Store container provides approximately 250ft³ of storage space.
As a general guide, this is suitable for the contents of around one to two rooms, although the exact amount will depend on the size and shape of your belongings and how they are packed.
For example, larger furniture items such as sofas, beds and wardrobes will take up more space than smaller boxes and household items.
If you’re unsure how much storage you need, Purdie’s team can help you determine how many containers are likely to be suitable for your belongings.
Flexible storage in West Lothian and beyond
Although the service is particularly convenient for customers in West Lothian, storage collection and delivery isn’t limited to local moves.
Purdie can arrange nationwide and international delivery on request, meaning your belongings don’t necessarily have to stay in the same area as your original property.
This can be particularly useful if you’re moving elsewhere in the UK or planning a move overseas and need a flexible solution for your possessions.
