What We Provide
Everything included — no hidden extras, no surprise fees.
Climate-controlled storage units
Our purpose-built facilities maintain stable temperature and humidity year-round, protecting furniture, electronics, artwork, antiques, and documents from the extreme heat, cold, and moisture that can cause irreversible damage. Climate control is included as standard — not an optional upgrade.
24/7 security monitoring
Every facility is monitored around the clock with CCTV surveillance, alarm systems, and restricted access. Your belongings are kept in closed-access areas — our facilities are not open to the general public, adding an additional layer of security that self-storage units cannot match.
Transit and storage insurance
Your items are covered from the moment our team picks them up through every stage — transit to the facility, the entire duration of storage, and transit back to you. We can also arrange additional declared-value coverage for high-value items such as antiques, artwork, or specialised equipment.
Easy access to your belongings
Need access to something in storage? Contact our team and we'll arrange retrieval with advance notice. For items being redelivered, we coordinate a time that suits you and bring everything back directly to your door — fully wrapped and protected.
Flexible rental terms — no lock-in contracts
Store for as little as a week or as long as several years. Our terms adapt to your circumstances. If settlement is delayed, your renovation runs long, or your plans change, simply extend your storage period without penalty. We work around your timeline, not the other way around.
Professional packing and wrapping
Our removalists wrap, pad, and properly secure every item before it enters storage — furniture is blanketed, fragile items are bubble-wrapped, and lounge suites are stored in their natural position to prevent pressure creasing. This level of care is not standard with self-storage: when movers deliver to independent facilities, protective materials are typically removed. Learn more about our packing & unpacking service.
Moving and storage coordination
Most customers use storage as part of a complete move. Our team coordinates the entire process — moving from your old property, placing items in storage, then completing the delivery once your new property is ready. One team, one booking, zero coordination stress.
Digital inventory tracking
Every item we place into storage is catalogued using our inventory management system. You receive a complete list of what's stored, and our team uses it to ensure nothing is missed when your belongings are returned.

When Do You Need Short or Long Term Storage?
Storage is rarely planned far in advance. Here are the most common situations where Australians rely on UNN Movers to bridge the gap.
Between Settlements
One of the most common storage situations in Australia: your sale settles before your purchase does, leaving you without a property to move into for days or weeks. Rather than rushing into a short-term rental or imposing on family, our team moves your belongings into secure storage until your new home is ready. Settlement delays happen — storage keeps your move on schedule.
During Home Renovations
Renovating a kitchen, adding a second storey, or reflooring the entire house means your furniture needs to go somewhere. Moving items into a spare room creates hazards and limits the tradesperson's access. Our storage solution clears the worksite completely, protects your furniture from dust and paint, and brings everything back when the work is done.
Relocating for Work
Whether you're moving interstate for a new role or heading overseas for a contract position, you may not be ready to commit to a new home immediately. Store your household belongings with us while you find the right property — or while your employer sorts out accommodation — and have everything delivered once you're settled. Planning a move across states? See our interstate removals service.
Downsizing
Moving from a four-bedroom house to a two-bedroom apartment means tough decisions. Long-term storage gives you the breathing room to make those decisions without pressure — store the items you're not sure about, and once you've lived in your new space for a few months, you'll know exactly what to keep, sell, or donate.
Staging a Property for Sale
A decluttered, minimally furnished home photographs better and sells faster. Many of our customers use short-term storage to clear out personal items and excess furniture before their property goes to market, then have everything returned to their new home after settlement.
Business and Commercial Storage
Businesses relocating offices, managing excess inventory during peak season, or upgrading equipment often need temporary storage for desks, filing systems, equipment, and stock. Our commercial storage solution scales to your volume, and our team handles the heavy lifting so your staff don't have to.
Why us
Why Choose UNN Movers
12 years of moving experience, applied to every item we store.
We Come to You — No Trips to the Facility
Unlike self-storage, you never drive to a facility, wrestle with heavy items, or navigate loading bays. Our removalists collect your belongings from your door, transport them to our secure facility, and return them when you're ready. The only effort required from you is the phone call.
Protective Wrapping Stays On
When removalists deliver to independent storage facilities, they remove protective blankets and wrapping before leaving — your items then sit unprotected for months. Our team stores every piece with the blankets, padding, and protection in place for the entire duration, reducing the risk of scratches, pressure marks, and dust damage.
Combined Moving and Storage — One Team
If you're in the middle of a move, storage becomes seamless. The same team handling your move can place items into storage and retrieve them when your new property is ready. No need to book, brief, and coordinate two separate companies.
Full Insurance Throughout
Coverage applies from the moment our team arrives at your door — through transit, into storage, and on the return journey. We also offer extended declared-value coverage for antiques, artwork, musical instruments, and other high-value items. Ask our team for details when requesting a quote.
No Lock-In Contracts
Plans change. Renovations run over. Settlements get delayed. Our flexible terms mean you're never locked into a fixed period — extend, shorten, or end your storage arrangement with reasonable notice. We adapt to your circumstances.
Climate Control Included as Standard
We don't charge extra for climate-controlled storage. Every unit maintains stable temperature and humidity to protect sensitive items — wooden furniture, electronics, photographs, leather goods, and documents — from the damage caused by Australia's extreme seasonal temperatures.
Digital Inventory and Professional Management
Your belongings are catalogued into our inventory management system before they enter storage. This gives you a complete record of every item, eliminates the risk of items being overlooked, and allows our team to locate and retrieve specific items when needed.

Choosing a term
Short-Term vs Long-Term Storage: Which Is Right for You?
The right storage solution depends on how long you need it, what you're storing, and how often you'll need access. Here's a straightforward guide.
Short-Term Storage (days to 6 months)
Short-term storage is the right choice when you need a temporary bridge during a transition. Typical timeframes range from a few days to around six months.
When it suits you:
- Between settlement dates on a property sale and purchase
- During a home renovation or staged sale preparation
- Moving into furnished accommodation while you find your next home
- Seasonal overflow or short-term business inventory management
What to expect: Flexible week-by-week or month-by-month billing with no lock-in. Storage begins as soon as our team picks up your items and ends once everything is returned to your new location.
Long-Term Storage (6 months to several years)
Long-term storage works well when you're facing an extended period without a permanent base, or when you're storing items you want to keep but don't need regular access to.
When it suits you:
- Relocating overseas for work or lifestyle for 12 months or more
- Downsizing and retaining furniture until permanent plans are made
- Extended travel or sabbatical
- Business equipment or archive storage over multiple years
What to expect: Long-term arrangements attract our most competitive pricing. Climate control, full inventory management, and insurance remain in place for the entire duration. Our team performs periodic facility checks to ensure your belongings remain in excellent condition.
Not sure which you need? Our team will help you choose the right term and storage volume when you request a quote. We don't charge for advice — and the quote is always free and returned within 2 hours.
How it works
Our Process
A streamlined approach to make your move effortless
Free Consultation and Quote
Contact our team by phone, WhatsApp, or our online quote form. Tell us what you need to store, for how long, and where you're located. We'll recommend the right storage volume, confirm what can and cannot be stored, and return a detailed quote within 2 hours. No obligation, no pressure.
Scheduling Pickup
We book a pickup time that works with your schedule — available 7 days a week, 6 am to 10 pm, with same-day options where possible. Our team arrives on time in a fully equipped vehicle with all necessary packing materials and protective wrapping.
Professional Packing and Wrapping
Our removalists carefully wrap each item using quilted furniture blankets, bubble wrap for fragile pieces, and protective corner guards for timber furniture. Every item is prepared to the same standard we use for moving — protection stays on for the entire storage period.
Transport to Secure Facility
Your belongings are loaded onto our GPS-tracked vehicles and transported directly to our climate-controlled storage facility. A complete digital inventory is created: every item is recorded by name, description, and condition, and a copy is provided to you.
Safe, Monitored Storage
Your items are placed in your dedicated storage area within our closed-access facility, monitored 24/7 by CCTV and security systems. Climate control maintains consistent temperature and humidity throughout. No member of the public has access to the facility.
Redelivery on Your Schedule
When you're ready, contact our team. We'll confirm the inventory, schedule a redelivery time, and bring everything back to your new property — wrapped, protected, and placed exactly where you want it. If you need only specific items returned, that can be arranged too.
Storage guide
What Can — and Cannot — Be Stored
Our climate-controlled facilities are suited to almost all household and commercial goods. Here's a practical guide to what we store, and what we cannot accept.
Can Be Stored
Household Furniture
Lounge suites, armchairs, dining tables, chairs, beds and mattresses, wardrobes, bookshelves, TV units, coffee tables, and outdoor furniture. All upholstery is wrapped to prevent dust and pressure marking.
Appliances
White goods including fridges, washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers (cleaned and drained before storage). Audio-visual equipment, computers, gaming systems, and home theatre systems.
Artwork, Antiques, and Collectibles
Paintings, sculptures, ceramics, vintage furniture, and collectibles stored in climate-controlled conditions that protect against humidity, temperature fluctuation, and UV light degradation. Extended declared-value insurance available on request.
Documents and Archives
Filing boxes, business archives, legal documents, and personal records. Climate control prevents the yellowing, warping, and mould growth that standard self-storage units cannot reliably prevent in Australia's more humid coastal climates.
Musical Instruments
Pianos, guitars, string instruments, and other temperature-sensitive instruments benefit significantly from climate-controlled storage. Our team has experience wrapping and positioning pianos using appropriate equipment.
Business and Commercial Items
Office desks, chairs, shelving, server racks, point-of-sale equipment, retail fixtures, seasonal stock and excess inventory. Suitable for businesses relocating, renovating, or managing overflow.
Seasonal Items
Holiday decorations, sports equipment, camping gear, seasonal clothing, and garden tools.
Cannot Be Stored
The following items cannot be accepted under any circumstances. This is consistent with industry standards across Australia.
- Hazardous materials — paint, solvents, fuels, gases, chemicals, and fertilisers
- Firearms, ammunition, or explosives (separate licensed storage required)
- Perishable food or liquids
- Living plants or animals
- Illegal substances or stolen goods
- Items with strong or persistent odours that could affect surrounding stored goods
- Unregistered or unroadworthy vehicles (contact us for specialist vehicle storage referrals)
Unsure whether your item can be stored? Call our team and we'll advise you directly.
Comparison
Removalist Storage vs Self-Storage: What's the Difference?
Many Australians default to self-storage without realising that removalist-managed storage is often more convenient, better protected, and equally cost-effective. Here's an honest comparison.
| UNN Movers Managed Storage | Typical Self-Storage | |
|---|---|---|
| Pickup service | We collect from your door | You transport everything yourself |
| Redelivery | We return everything to your new address | You collect and transport yourself |
| Protective wrapping | Items remain wrapped throughout | Usually removed on entry |
| Climate control | Included as standard | Varies — often charged as an upgrade |
| Insurance coverage | Transit + storage included | Often excluded or limited |
| Access model | Closed-access facility — more secure | 24/7 public access at most facilities |
| Inventory management | Digital inventory of every item | Your responsibility |
| Coordination with move | Same team handles move + storage | Requires separate booking |
| Pricing | Quoted per engagement, no surprise fees | Monthly unit rental + access, insurance, admin fees |
The most significant practical advantage of removalist storage is what happens to your protective materials. When a removalist delivers your furniture to an independent self-storage facility, they typically remove all blankets and wrapping before leaving — their equipment needs to come back with them. From that point on, your furniture sits unprotected against dust, humidity, and contact damage for the duration of storage. With UNN Movers, your items remain fully wrapped and protected for the entire period, in the same condition they left your home.
