Before you start, walk through your home and think ahead: what absolutely has to be out of the way before the contractor can begin? Furniture in the rooms being plastered or painted, cabinets where walls come out, and anything that won't survive dust, moisture or a paint splash — think of the sofa, the sideboard, books and electronics. Make a list per room. Not sure how much you'll store? Our advisors can estimate over the phone how much space you need, based on what has to go.

A few pieces from one room? A small size will do. A whole floor cleared for a thorough renovation? Count on a medium. The entire contents out for a full-house job? You're at the larger end. In doubt? Go one size up — scaling up during your storage period costs nothing extra, and you don't want to discover halfway that the last boxes won't fit. Our calculator works it out for you in a minute.

No van to rent, no driving back and forth to a warehouse on the edge of town. We bring the storage to your door, you load it — with or without our lifting help, your choice — and we drive it away to our secured, climate-controlled hub in Gouda. There your belongings sit dry and guarded, behind cameras and alarms, while the dust flies at home. The exact opposite of a dusty renovation happening around your things.

Schedule a return online once the renovation's done — all at once or in parts, whatever suits you. Job running late (and which renovation doesn't)? Just extend your storage by the month, no hassle or long contract. That way the contractor's planning doesn't dictate yours. We bring your belongings back to the address you choose, the moment your home is ready for them again.
