Question 1

How do I determine which size storage unit I need?

Accepted Answer

Use our calculator for a quick recommendation, then check the table for simple van and garage comparisons. Think in height as well as floor area. As a guide, one bed homes often fit in 50 to 75 sq ft, two beds in 75 to 100 sq ft, and three beds in 125 to 150 sq ft.

Question 2

What size storage unit do I need for a one bed home?

Accepted Answer

Most one bed moves work well in 50 to 75 sq ft. Fifty suits a typical one bed flat if you pack tightly and stack, while seventy five gives extra breathing room for appliances or if you prefer to keep an access aisle.

Question 3

What size do I need for a two bed home?

Accepted Answer

Two-bed homes typically need 75 to 100 sq ft, depending on how tightly you pack and whether furniture is disassembled. This is roughly equivalent to a single garage, which comfortably covers most two-bed contents when stacked well.

Question 4

What size do I need for a three bed home?

Accepted Answer

Three bed homes generally land between 125 and 150 sq ft. This range allows space for larger furniture, outdoor items and a small aisle so you can reach things without unstacking everything.

Question 5

Is 75 sq ft the same as a Luton van?

Accepted Answer

That is a common comparison and a helpful guide for one to two bed moves. If your items are bulky or you prefer more room to move around, stepping up a size can make loading and access easier.

Question 6

How tall are the storage units?

Accepted Answer

Rooms at HOLD King’s Cross are designed for stacking and easy access. As a guide, many rooms fall in the two to three metre range (2 to 3 m), though exact heights can vary by room.

If you have tall items or plan to use racking, tell us what you need and we will confirm the clearance for your chosen unit before you book.

Question 7

Is 100 sq ft the same as a single garage?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that's the standard benchmark in the UK. You will often see 100 sq ft described as a single garage and, on some guides, as roughly two Luton van loads when packed efficiently

Question 8

Can I change my unit size later?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer flexible contracts and make upsizing or downsizing easy. If you need more or less space once you start storing, we can help you switch to a different size (subject to availability), so you can book with confidence even if you are unsure today.
