Household, Furniture and Business Storage
Short and long-term storage for household goods, furniture, boxes and business stock. It suits a gap between homes, a renovation, or time away. Storage is arranged on request and subject to availability, with the location, access, monthly rent and release terms agreed in writing before your goods are collected.
Choose your home size or goods type and how long you expect to store them. The tool gives a rough guide to packed volume, floor space and monthly rent. Your actual quote depends on a survey of what you are storing.
About this estimate: it shows monthly rent only. Check whether packing, pickup, intake handling, retrieval and return delivery are included or charged separately. List each cost once in the written quote. Home size is a rough guide, so your packed volume and the space allocated can differ once your goods are surveyed. Any longer-term discount applies only as stated in your written quote.
Perfect for home renovation, gap between rental agreements, or temporary job relocations.
Request a Storage SurveyThe displayed space and supports are modelled planning ranges, not an allocated bay or a safe stacking instruction. This calculator uses its existing 10% and 15% long-duration assumptions. Confirm the eligible offer and final space after inventory assessment; it does not replace a quote.
HOW STORAGE WORKS
People need storage for different reasons: a renovation, waiting for a new flat, a posting abroad, or business stock that has outgrown the office. The right arrangement depends on how often you will need your things back and who will be handling them.
With managed storage, access and release go through the storage desk. Self-access usually means visiting an assigned unit during permitted hours. Which arrangement is available depends on your city and dates. Before you agree, confirm the facility's location, access arrangements, and who is responsible for your goods at each stage.
From a few boxes to a full home or a business's stock, each storage request is assessed and quoted on what you are storing and how you need to access it.
For renovation gaps, delayed possession or a temporary transfer. Beds, furniture, appliances and kitchenware are packed, recorded and stored as one lot, then returned to the address you choose.
Solid wood, engineered wood and upholstered furniture is wrapped so its surfaces are protected and air can still circulate, and stored off the floor where possible. Agree safe stacking and protection for heavy or delicate pieces before intake.
For students between terms, people between flats, or anyone working away for a few months. Suitcases and cartons are stored and returned by appointment.
For retailers and small businesses that need space for stock, store cartons or equipment. Storage is assessed for the volume, how often stock goes in and out, and the handling it needs.
For files and records your business needs to keep but not use daily. Boxes are numbered and sealed, and the index of what each holds stays with your authorised staff.
Artwork, instruments, antiques and electronics that are sensitive to heat or damp need the right conditions. These are assessed individually, and we will tell you what can and cannot be provided before you decide.
PREPARING FOR STORAGE
Damp, dirty or unprepared items can deteriorate while stored. Start with cleaning, drying and the preparation your items need, then match the wrapping and storage conditions to them.
Wash and dry linen, clothes and soft furnishings fully before packing. Wipe furniture and let it dry. Moisture sealed in a carton can lead to mildew.
Defrost, drain, clean and dry refrigerators and washing machines as their manuals direct, and leave doors as the maker advises. Fit transport bolts if your washing machine model needs them.
Furniture gets a soft layer and corner protection. Avoid sealing wood or leather tightly in plastic for long periods. Ask how long-term items will be wrapped.
Ask whether goods will sit on pallets or racks, and how cartons will be stacked so heavy items do not crush lighter ones.
For artwork, instruments, leather or documents, ask what the facility's ventilation, damp and pest arrangements are, and whether they suit your item, before agreeing to store it.
Do not spray pesticides or add chemical treatments to furniture or appliances yourself. If you are concerned about pests, raise it when choosing the facility.
Before agreeing to store, ask these questions and get the answers in writing. They tell you more than a list of features.
FROM PICKUP TO RETURN
We assess what you are storing by video or in person. The quote states the monthly rent, packing, pickup, intake, retrieval and return delivery charges, the minimum period, and the notice needed for release.
Goods are packed with materials chosen for each item. Cartons you want back early are marked at this stage.
Every carton and furniture piece gets a number on the inventory, with existing marks noted. You check and sign the inventory and keep a copy.
Goods are transported to the facility and checked in against the inventory. Ask for confirmation of the count at intake.
Rent is billed as agreed in the quote. Partial retrievals are arranged by appointment using the inventory numbers.
Give the notice period stated in your quote. Goods are counted out against the inventory, delivered to the address you confirm, and unloaded. Reassembly and unpacking are done if included.
These are provisional monthly rent guides for planning. They are not a fixed tariff. Your quote depends on the surveyed volume, how goods are stored, how long you need storage and how often you need access. Any deposit, minimum period or early-exit terms are stated in your written quote.

Rent is only part of the cost. Check the written quote for packing, pickup, intake, retrieval and return delivery, including which are included and which are extra. Count each charge once. Applicable GST is shown on the invoice; the rate depends on how the services are classified. Any discount for a longer storage period applies only as stated in your written quote.
Short-term storage starts from 15 days, subject to availability; monthly rent follows a 30-day billing cycle. Confirm the amount payable for a short stay, an extension and the final part-cycle in the written quote. There are zero lock-in penalties after your agreed tenure.
Advertised long-term offers are up to 15–20% for upfront six- or twelve-month bookings. Eligibility and the actual discount are confirmed in your quote. The calculator models 10% or 15% for its selected duration, so it is a budget tool rather than confirmation of the offer for your goods.
Your accepted quotation continues to govern its agreed inclusions, discount, release and exit benefits. Ask how packing, pickup, intake, access and return delivery are counted; do not add an already included charge twice.
Storage is often described in cubic feet (CFT), which is volume, and in square feet, which is floor area. They don't convert directly.
An illustration: a packed item measuring 4 ft × 2 ft × 2 ft takes up 16 CFT. Its base covers 8 sq ft of floor. If items can be stacked safely, more volume fits on the same floor. If they can't be stacked, such as a sofa or a delicate table, they need more floor space for their volume. Space for aisles and access also adds to what is allocated.
That is why home size is only a rough guide. Your quote should state the basis it uses, whether volume, floor area or pallets, so you can compare quotes fairly.
| Cost item | When it applies |
|---|---|
| Packing materials and labour | Once, before storage |
| Pickup and transport to the facility | Once, at the start |
| Monthly rent × number of months | Each month, at the agreed basis |
| Partial retrieval visits | Each time you need items back |
| Return delivery and unloading | Once, at the end. This can differ if the delivery address changes. |
| Reassembly and unpacking | At the end, if included |
| Transit or storage cover | If you choose it, priced by the cover provider |
| Applicable GST | On each invoice |
Different kinds of storage suit different needs. Whichever you choose, check the points in the last column.
| Type | How it usually works | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Managed storage with a mover | Goods are packed, collected, recorded, stored and returned by the moving company | Inventory at intake, retrieval appointments, all costs beyond rent, and who is responsible for your goods at each stage |
| Local godown | Space rented in a local building; you usually arrange transport | Whether goods are kept off the floor, damp and pest conditions, records, and who can enter |
| Self-storage unit | A unit you can reach yourself during the facility's hours | Unit size versus your packed volume, access hours, and transport to and from the unit |
GETTING ITEMS BACK
You may need winter clothes, festival items or papers before your final move. Retrieval is easier when it's planned at packing.
Keep a clear record of your goods at each stage. That is what any later question or claim relies on.
Cover: a facility's own building insurance does not automatically cover your goods. Cover for transport to the facility, storage itself, and return delivery may also be separate. If you want your goods covered, ask the cover provider which stages are included, what is excluded, how values are declared, the premium and the claim process.
GST: a GST invoice is issued for storage and related services. The rate depends on how the services are classified. Businesses should confirm input tax credit eligibility with their accountant.
To comply with National Fire Safety Codes, environmental laws, and insurance regulations, we maintain strict guidelines on allowable storage items.
Artwork, pianos, other instruments, antiques, leather and electronics sensitive to heat or damp are assessed before storage. See "Is your item suitable for storage?" above.
