Exeter Students: The Marsh Barton Move-Out Survival Guide (June 13th Edition)
The countdown is on. The library is thinning out, the sun is (hopefully) making an appearance on the Cathedral Green, and the dreaded June 13th move-out date is looming. If you’re a student in Exeter, this weekend is the ultimate test of your logistics, patience, and ability to fit an entire academic year into the back of a hatchback.
But here’s the good news: moving out doesn't have to be a tragic comedy of overflowing bin bags and forgotten kettles. At Ease the Squeeze, we’ve seen it all, and we’re here to turn your summer transition into a total breeze. Whether you’re heading home for the break, moving into a new house in September, or heading off on a post-exam spree, our storage units in Exeter are the perfect "bridge" to keep your belongings safe while you live your best life.
The June 13th Deadline: Why Your Future Self Will Thank You
With the summer term ending on June 12th, the mass exodus begins on Saturday the 13th. Trying to lug everything back to your parents' house: only to bring it all back in ten weeks: is a workout nobody asked for.
Think of student storage as your tactical advantage. Instead of wrestling a mattress topper into a suitcase, you can drop your gear at our Marsh Barton facility and forget about it until Freshers' Week.
It’s the ultimate "stop-gap" strategy. You aren't just renting a box; you're buying peace of mind. No more cluttering up your parents' garage, and no more worrying if your new housemates will "accidentally" borrow your favourite frying pan over the summer.
Marsh Barton: Your Secure Storage Sanctuary
Located just a short hop from the city centre, our Marsh Barton facility is the gold standard for secure storage units. We aren't just a dusty warehouse; we offer a range of flexible options designed specifically for the student budget and lifestyle.
Indoor Storage Units: Keep your electronics and clothes in a clean, dry, and climate-controlled environment.
Secure Wooden Containers: Perfect for those with a bit more gear who want a dedicated, sturdy space.
Top-Tier Security: With 24/7 CCTV and robust access controls, your stuff is probably safer with us than it is in a shared house in Mount Pleasant.
Affordability: Prices start from just £10/week, with zero hidden fees. What you see is what you pay.
Whether you need a small locker-style unit for a few boxes or a larger space for your bike and sofa, we have the storage units in Exeter to fit your needs perfectly.
No Car? No Problem. The Collection & Delivery Life-Saver
We get it. If you’re living in Penny C, Lafrowda, or any of the catered halls on the hill, getting to Marsh Barton without a car can feel like an expedition to the North Pole.
That’s where our Collection & Delivery service comes in. For a small fee, we can arrange to pick up your packed boxes directly from your halls or house, whisk them away to our secure facility, and then bring them back to your new address when you return in September. For friends in catered halls who need to be out by June 13th, it’s a seriously smart way to stay on budget and avoid the last-minute chaos.
💡 Pro Tip: Coordinate with your flatmates! Split the price, reclaim the space. If three or four of you book a collection together, you can share the cost, clear your room fast, and make move-out feel far less like a game of Jenga. It’s the perfect no-lifting solution for catered halls when you need a simple, affordable bridge into summer.
The Packing Tetris Strategy: Maximising Your Unit Space
Storing your stuff is one thing; storing it well is an art form. To get the most bang for your buck, you need to play a little game of "Storage Tetris."
Heavy stuff goes low: Always put your books and heavy kitchenware at the bottom of the stack to prevent crushing your more delicate items.
Utilise the "Nooks": Put small items inside larger ones. Your toaster can live inside a cooking pot; your socks can be stuffed into your shoes.
Label Everything: You think you’ll remember which box has your bedding, but by September, they’ll all look the same. Use a thick marker and be specific.
Protect the Tech: Use bubble wrap or even your jumpers to pad out your TV or monitor.
> "Treat your storage unit like a giant puzzle. Start with the big, sturdy pieces and fill the gaps as you go. If it looks like a masterpiece, it'll be a breeze to unpack."
