Wigwam Storage

23/08/2026

We need your help.

Customers moving to the area ask us the same questions every week: What's the best cafe? Do we know a decent plumber? Where do the kids' football teams train? Which chippy?

We've got our opinions (just ask Lenny about the sausage roll situation), but we'd rather have yours. Drop your one must-know recommendation below and we'll put the definitive list together for every new arrival who comes through our doors.

(BTW, my fave coffee shop is MOR in Chipping Norton)

Never used self storage before?

Here's the whole thing: you visit your local Wigwam self storage facility and we show you two or three sizes. You pick one, sign, and get access. Twenty minutes, no jargon, no pressure. Most people say the same thing after: "that was easier than I thought."

Moving somewhere smaller doesn't mean deciding everything today. A Wigwam Self Storage unit keeps the pieces you're not ready to part with, like the dresser, the books, the boxes of photographs, until you know what the new place wants to be.

Who thought that self storage could be a revelation?!

Thank you to Tony for this glowing review that put a big smile on our faces this week. Testimony to the incredible work our support team do in making move-ins smooth and effortless.

We read every review our customers leave. And the thing that never comes up: the unit.

People don't remember the metal door or the square footage. They remember the person who picked up the phone the day their chain collapsed and said, "Don't worry — we'll sort this."

Moving between homes isn't a self-service moment. It's a life-in-limbo moment. And limbo is easier when someone's holding the middle with you.

Life's between chapters. That's exactly where Wigwam like to be.

The day you leave your old place and the day you get keys to the new one almost never match, and that gap is where a lot of house moves quietly come undone.

A few things that make it easier when there's a wait in the middle:

→ Pack the "between" bag first — the things you'll actually need in the time inbetween, kept separate from everything going into storage.

→ Give yourself a buffer. Book the space you need for a little longer than you think. Extending is easy, scrambling isn't.

→ Keep one human contact. When a completion date slips, you want a real person to call, not a portal.

The move itself is hard enough. The gap inbetween doesn't have to be.

Nobody warns you about the gap.

You've sold your house. You've bought your next home, and somewhere in the middle there's a stretch of days or even weeks and months, where you technically don't live anywhere.

Your life is in boxes. Your completion dates don't line up. The chain wobbles on a Thursday and suddenly the whole plan depends on people you've never met.

It's rightly known as one of the most stressful things a person can do.

If you're in that in-between right now: it's temporary, it's normal, and it's handleable. One calm decision at a time.

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you before your last move?

Many of us have experienced gazzumping or a broken house chain at some stage. It's a painful experience, but one that self storage can take some of the pain from
