FAQ — renovation storage in Ireland
How much does renovation storage cost in Ireland?
A whole-house renovation in Ireland typically needs 15-25 m³ of storage (sofa, dining set, beds, appliances, boxes). On Packhood that costs €40-€95/mo across most cities — about €52/mo median. The same volume at Irish commercial self-storage would run €120-€220/mo. Over a 12-week renovation that is €600-€900 saved.
How long can I store renovation contents on Packhood?
Bookings start at minimum-monthly and most Irish renovation bookings run 2-6 months. Many hosts welcome 8-12 month bookings at a 5-10% discount; use the filter on the search map for max-stay.
Where in Dublin is renovation storage cheapest?
D24 (Tallaght), D22 (Lucan / Clondalkin), D17 (Coolock) and the K-postcodes (Swords / Malahide) have the best price-to-access ratio for a south or north-side Dublin renovation. Sandwich the storage choice between travel cost and rental rate; outer-postcode Packhood usually wins over inner-zone commercial.
Are my belongings insured during renovation storage?
Yes. Every booking is covered by the Packhood Host Guarantee (€300 in Ireland). For higher-value items, renter-side contents insurance is recommended; many home-contents policies cover off-site storage as standard — check with your provider.
Can builders pick up materials from the storage I rent?
Yes, with the host's permission. Many hosts offer "builder access" hours or share a key with the renter's nominated contractor. Filter for "shared access" or "multi-user" on the search map.
Is renovation storage available in Cork, Galway, Limerick?
Yes — Packhood operates in all major Irish cities. Cork (54/mo typical), Galway (€48/mo), Limerick (€46/mo). Each market has 20-60+ live listings across garages, spare rooms, attics, basements and sheds.
