What Is Short Term Storage? 

Short-term storage is typically defined as anything less than 3 months. It is used in those short periods of time when you need some extra space. This could be because you are moving house, redecorating your house or may have someone coming to stay for a few weeks. It is an affordable and efficient way in which to keep your belongings safe for a short period of time. 

Navigating The Stress of Moving House

Moving house is extremely stressful. There is so much to do, so much change happening and so many decisions to make. A great way that you can alleviate some of the stress is using professional movers or cleaners, like Clean Sweep Domestic

Another way to alleviate some of the stress is to use our storage. You can store your belongings with us whilst you prepare your old home for its new owners and whilst you settle into your new home.

It will also mean that you pack nice and early, if you want to, and then unpack at your own pace. There is never any need to get a new home set up super quickly, but it can be hard to not feel the pressure when you are surrounded by boxes. Our short term storage will stop that from happening.

Seasonal Storage

Our short term storage will be a great place to store those items that you only need at certain times of year. This could be seasonal clothing, garden furniture or gardening tools that you need to store over winter. Or it could be winter clothes and/or winter sports equipment that you need to store over summer. 

Storing seasonal items will help you to have more room in your home year round so it is an excellent way to use short term storage. 

Short Term Student Storage

For students attending the University of Exeter or other local unis or colleges, the end of the academic year presents the annual headache of what to do with belongings over the summer break. Taking everything home, especially for international students, is expensive and complex. 

Our short-term storage will offer you a far more cost-effective and convenient solution. Students can securely store books, small pieces of furniture, kitchenware, and personal items for the summer break, ready for when you return in September. 

Supporting Life Transitions

Life transitions often require quick, temporary storage solutions. A sudden job relocation might require a temporary reduction in living space while searching for a permanent home. In cases of unexpected emergencies, such as flood or fire damage, short term storage is essential for safeguarding undamaged possessions while repairs are carried out. 

Our storage will provide the flexibility needed to rent a space month-to-month, without the commitment of long-term contracts, perfectly suiting these unpredictable circumstances.

Business Stock and Equipment Overflow

Local businesses in Exeter will also find short term storage helpful. Retailers often need extra space to manage the need for more stock during busy periods like Christmas. E-commerce businesses can use storage units as secure, accessible, and expandable warehouses for packaging materials and stock overflow. 

This flexibility means businesses can scale their storage needs immediately without committing to a larger, permanent commercial lease.

Why You Should Choose Short Term Storage Exeter 

Choosing a local provider like Cinch Storage ensures that these benefits are delivered with a high standard of service, security, and accessibility.

“The staff are very friendly and actually remember you. The facility is clean and super efficient. It’s easy to park and there are trolleys of various sizes to allow for easy transportation of storage items. I’m delighted.”
