Useful contacts for home, business and university moves 

At Bluebox Storage, our mission is to keep your belongings safe while they’re in our care. Our range of personal storage units is ideal for house moves to or from Carlisle. We offer units in a variety of sizes, including 10ft storage containers, right through to 20ft storage containers. Or, why not go for double the space with our expansive 40ft storage containers? 

We’ve also got student storage options to keep your university essentials out of the way during breaks – or while heading abroad for a term.
