Renovating your home is exciting, but it can quickly become chaotic — especially when space is limited. Having a simple way to clear space and protect your belongings can make a huge difference. That’s exactly what we offer at Flexistore.
Instead of traditional self-storage, we deliver a storage vault to your door. You load it in your own time, we collect it, and we store it securely at our Portlethen facility. When you need it back, we return it. No van hire, no extra trips, no hassle.
Why storage matters during a renovation
When your home is being ripped apart and rebuilt, the last thing you need is extra clutter. Using storage can help you:
- Protect your possessions – Renovations mean dust, paint splatter, vibrations, and accidental bumps. Storing items offsite reduces the risk of damage.
- Give trades room to work – Clear floors and open spaces help builders, plumbers and decorators work more safely and efficiently.
- Create space when you don’t have much – Many Aberdeen homes don’t have extra rooms or large driveways. Moving bulky items out temporarily gives you room to breathe.
- Stay organised – Storing items by phase means you know exactly where everything is and can access it when needed.
What to store — and when
You don’t need to empty your whole house. Focus on storing the right things at the right time:
- Before work begins: Sofas, loose furniture and appliances
- During structural or electrical phases: Boxed items, shelving, décor, electronics
- During finishing work: Rugs, carpets, small furniture and artwork
- If renovating one room at a time: Clear each area just before work starts
Because we come to you, there’s no double-handling or trips to a storage site.
Practical tips for a smoother renovation
