Storage moves in Reading: door to unit
How it works round here.
Reading, Reading • Storage Moves
With Big Yellow Reading barely half a mile from the centre, and Lok'n Store and Shurgard Self-Storage also close by, storage moves are a regular job in this part of Berkshire.
Reading's mix of RG1 terraces, Whiteknights student lets and the newer flats near the station means plenty of people shifting boxes and furniture into and out of units, often on tight permit-parking slots near the centre. Van & Driver covers collection and drop-off at the unit itself, with blankets and straps included and one or two people on hand depending on the size of the job, whether that's a few boxes, a sofa, or the contents of a whole room. The service also runs out to nearby Caversham, Woodley and Shinfield, so a move between Reading and any of these towns is priced and booked the same way. Given how many storage sites sit within a couple of miles of the centre, from Wilkins in the direction of Henley to Shurgard further along, most local moves stay well within a short van trip. If you're clearing a unit before term ends at the University of Reading, or simply need furniture moved between home and storage, the job can be booked as a single item, a half van, or a full van, with the price fixed before the driver sets off.
