Your Questions About Removals, Self Storage & Packing—Answered

Whether you’re planning a big house move, looking for secure storage in Edinburgh, or want to declutter with confidence, the Kerr’s blog is packed with helpful advice to guide your next step.

We regularly share expert insights and practical tips from our decades of experience in home removals, self-storage, and business moves. Our aim? To make moving and storing feel less stressful and more manageable, no matter your circumstances.

Why Use Self-Storage During a Move?

Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, relocating your business, or storing belongings between tenancies, you’ll find guidance that’s simple, clear, and based on what actually works.

At the top of this page, you’ll see our most recent blog post, often tied to a seasonal topic or common question our customers ask. Below that, you’ll find a range of articles covering everything from packing and preparation to choosing the right kind of storage for your needs. Some posts focus on common problems like how to store furniture safely, while others explore specialist moves, like antiques or long-distance removals. Our team also shares behind-the-scenes insights into how we operate as a BAR-approved, family-run company with a strong reputation in Edinburgh and the Lothians.

We cover both personal and commercial storage topics, recognising that each has different priorities. You’ll find advice for homeowners and renters as well as business owners and tradespeople looking for reliable container storage. Whether you need temporary storage during a move or long-term options for stock, equipment, or archived documents, we break down the options so you can make an informed choice.

Many readers find our blog helpful for planning and decision-making. That’s why we also include links to our online estimator and forms, so you can move from idea to action in just a few clicks. We believe knowledge should empower, and this blog exists to support that.
