A typical sealed box is 8 feet in height, giving 250 cubic feet of space. A typical one bedroom flat would use approximately one-to-two of these containers, with the amount going up by room per room.

The self storage company will bring the container(s) to your home and will provide a packing and transport service, taking care and consideration for the safe handling and storage at all times.
