If you are unsure of how many boxes or how much tape you need for safely storing your household or business items, our team of self storage experts is here to help. Simply give us a call on 0861 18 18 18 and we will make sure you only order the amount of packaging that you need.

A question we are often asked is how many boxes does it take to move your home. This box guide should help you:

• 1 bedroom flat: 20 – 40 medium sized boxes
• 2 bedroom house: 30 – 50 medium sized boxes
• 3 bedroom house: 40 – 70 medium sized boxes
• 4 bedroom house: 50 – 80 medium sized boxes

Here are a few ideas to make your self storage experience simple:

• Pack your belongings in good quality boxes, filling them up to capacity. Partially full or bulging boxes may tip or collapse. Our range of different sized boxes will help you choose the right size to suit your needs
• Use our available trolleys to transport your goods to and from your unit
• Plan your space! Start with bulky items and your heaviest boxes, stacking from the back of your unit making your way to the front. Put those items that you need to get to most often near the front, closest to the door
• To maximise space, stack similar sized boxes together and allow for walkways. Pack all odd shaped items last as it’s challenging to stack around them
• Label or number all boxes on all four sides for easy identification
• Furniture with drawers can be utilised as storage place for china, silverware and small items. You can also wrap such items in tablecloths, towels or blankets to prevent breakage. Our goods protectors will further help you protect your items while they are in storage
