Life doesn’t stand still. Whether you’re moving home, growing your family, downsizing, starting a business, or navigating an unexpected change, one challenge often comes up time and time again: storage space.
Sometimes you need extra room quickly. Other times, you need a flexible solution that gives you breathing space while plans take shape. That’s where a reliable, nationwide storage provider can make a real difference.
Below, we answer some of the most common questions people ask when they’re looking to create more living or working space during major life transitions, and explain how Cuboid helps make change feel simpler, calmer, and more manageable.
Why people turn to storage during major life changes?
Big life moments often bring logistical pressure with them. Moving house, renovating, separating households, or scaling a business can leave you juggling belongings alongside tight timelines and limited space.
Secure off-site storage gives you flexibility when things feel uncertain. By storing items safely away from home or work, you can focus on what matters most - whether that’s settling into a new routine or simply reducing stress.
With Cuboid’s flexible contracts, you only pay for the space you need, for as long as you need it. That makes storage a practical short-term solution rather than a commitment you’re locked into.
How can Cuboid help when moving home?
Moving home is one of the most common reasons people turn to self-storage. Whether you’re waiting for a completion date, staging a property for sale, or downsizing temporarily, storage can bridge the gap.
Self-storage whilst moving home allows you to:
- Declutter your current space to make it more appealing to buyers.
- Store furniture safely between move-out and move-in dates.
- Move gradually, rather than all at once.
With our national storage facilities, it’s easy to find a secure facility close to home, with extended access hours so you can move on your schedule instead of someone else’s.
Can self-storage help to create more living space at home?
Absolutely. Many people use Cuboid’s container storage to create more living space without moving house. Seasonal items, sports equipment, spare furniture, or sentimental belongings can quickly take over garages and spare rooms.
By storing these items off-site, you can:
- Turn a box room into a home office
- Create more space for a growing family
- Enjoy a clutter-free home that’s easier to manage
If you’re wondering how to use these containers to create more living space, the key is flexibility. Our convenient range of container sizes makes it easy to scale up or down as your needs change.
Are storage units useful during a divorce or separation?
Life changes aren’t always planned, and during emotionally challenging times, practical solutions can help reduce pressure.
During a divorce or separation, we provide a neutral, secure place to store belongings while living arrangements are sorted. It can also help when:
- Downsizing to a smaller property
- Temporarily moving in with family or friends
- Dividing shared possessions at your own pace
Cuboid’s personal approach means you can speak directly to a knowledgeable team member who understands that every situation is different, and someone who can help you find a solution that fits your circumstances.
How do our units support downsizing or starting fresh?
Downsizing often comes with difficult decisions about what to keep and what to let go of. Cuboid allows you to take your time, meaning you don’t have to make any rushed decisions. You can store furniture, keepsakes, or business equipment securely while you adjust to a new space or lifestyle.
For those starting fresh, whether that be a recent retirement, a career change, or any number of other reasons for a new beginning, self-storage offers flexibility to store what you may not have space for at home without the pressure of fixed timescales or deadlines.
Are storage containers only for personal use, or can businesses benefit too?
Our services aren’t just for households. Many small business owners, sole traders, and start-ups rely on storage to manage stock, tools, or paperwork without committing to costly commercial premises.
Cuboid’s storage sites are ideal for:
- Tradespeople storing tools and materials securely
- Online retailers managing inventory
- Start-ups scaling up or down as demand changes
Cuboid’s secure locations, featuring CCTV and gated access, provide peace of mind for both personal and business customers.
How do I choose a secure storage facility?
When choosing secure self-storage facilities, it’s important to look beyond price alone. Ask yourself:
- Is the site monitored with CCTV?
- Are there gated or controlled access points?
- Can I access my container easily when I need to?
Thankfully for you, Cuboid ticks all these boxes, offering secure, well-maintained sites with easy access seven days a week so your belongings are protected, but never out of reach.
Why choose a national self-storage provider like Cuboid?

With affordable pricing, flexible contracts, and friendly people you can speak to directly, the Cuboid team makes storage simple, regardless of whether you’re making space for a new home, a growing family, or perhaps just want more space to breathe.
Making space isn’t just about storage. It’s about giving yourself room to move forward.

Start. Sorting. Stuff.
