Moving House? Take the Stress Out of Your Move.
Secure, Flexible Self-Storage in Holsworthy & Hatherleigh
Moving home is one of life’s biggest challenges, but finding a safe place for your furniture shouldn't be. Whether you’re dealing with a delayed chain, downsizing, or simply need to declutter your home to make it market-ready, Ruby Storage provides the extra space you need. Our 20ft containers act as a secure extension of your home, keeping your belongings dry, safe, and accessible throughout your transition.
How We Make Your Move Easier:
- Seamless Drive-Up Loading: Skip the long walks and heavy lifting required by indoor facilities. Our clean, concrete hard-standing allows you or your removal team to park directly at the container doors. Load and unload your sofas, beds, and boxes with ease.
- Total Flexibility for Changing Dates: Completion dates can shift at the last minute. We offer flexible, month-to-month storage terms that adapt to your schedule, ensuring you aren’t tied into long-term contracts when you only need a bridge between homes.
- Unbeatable Security for Your Valuables: Your household goods represent years of investment. Our sites are protected by constant CCTV monitoring and secure automated gates, providing a far safer alternative to a packed garage or a hired van on the street.
- Clean, Dry, and Ventilated: Our premium steel shipping containers are wind and watertight. Combined with our professional hard-standing yards, your furniture remains in a clean environment, free from the damp and dust often found in old sheds or outbuildings.

Yes! One of the biggest advantages of Ruby Storage is our direct drive-up access.
