Thinking of Using a Storage Unit in Dublin?
“Where the hell is the kettle?” – Everyone on Moving Day
Let’s not pretend: moving house isn’t some Pinterest fantasy where you float into your new space, tea in one hand, scented candle in the other. It’s chaos. It’s cardboard. It’s realising you own four identical cheese graters and zero printer cables. And when the moving truck’s full but your new place isn’t quite ready, panic sets in.
That’s where storage units come in. But not just any dusty garage-in-a-box – we’re talking clean, dry, secure, and not run by a man named Mick who only accepts cash and favours.
This article is for every soul Googling:
- “Best storage units Dublin”
- “How much is storage per month Dublin?”
- “Can a moving company also store my stuff?”
- “Where do I put everything while I redo my kitchen/renovate/escape my in-laws?”
Spoiler alert: Yes, we can move and store. And yes, Expert Removals makes it painless.
What Do People Really Want to Know About Storage Units in Dublin?
Let’s start by answering your most pressing questions faster than your Aunt Sheila finds fault with your new place:
| Question | Short Answer |
|---|---|
| How much does a storage unit in Dublin cost? | €20–€70 per week, depending on size and service. |
| Is it safe? | Ours are monitored 24/7 with CCTV, alarms, and zero shady back doors. |
| Can I access my stuff? | Yes, with notice. And no, we won’t judge your collection of ceramic cats. |

Why Use a Storage Unit When Moving House in Dublin?
Because sometimes life doesn’t line up.
Maybe:
- Your new lease starts two weeks late.
- You’re renovating the place before moving in.
- You’re stuck in a legal limbo between sale and close.
- You just need space (physically and emotionally).
Here’s the real kicker: 32% of our moving clients in Dublin last year also used short-term storage. And of those, 91% said it saved them time, stress, and arguments with their partner.
That last bit’s not a joke.

The Emotional Side of Moving: It’s Not Just About Boxes
Let’s get real. Moving messes with your head.
You’re saying goodbye to familiarity. You’re pulling up roots. You’re packing your life into brown boxes that all look the same. It’s change, and change is hard.
Storage can be a surprisingly powerful buffer. It buys you time to think, space to breathe, and a way to move forward without rushing. We’ve seen people use storage during:
- Bereavement
- Mental health breaks
- Returning from abroad
- Escaping landlords from hell
We’re not therapists, but we’ve seen a few tears. (And we keep tissues in the van. True story.)

Stories from the Storage Frontline
Let’s be honest – storage isn’t sexy. But it is real life.
Like:
- The couple who stored a 3-bed house with us while they travelled the world. They came back engaged, tanned, and grateful their sofa hadn’t grown legs.
- The family renovating their fixer-upper. We kept their furniture pristine for 6 months while they knocked down walls.
- The woman escaping a bad breakup with just her dog, books, and bed. We helped her pack in silence, no questions asked.
This is the real Dublin. These are real lives.
