If you are moving house or offices this year, or simply need more space in the house, here are our top tips to solve your storage stress:

1. Plan & Prepare: Make an inventory, categorise items, and gather packing supplies.
2. Optimise Space: Disassemble furniture, use shelving or racking, and label boxes clearly.
3. Choosing the right unit size: Make sure you have visited one of our sites and viewed some units or have a good idea on the size of unit required.
4. Choose from two locations: Both facilities have good security systems in place, are modern, bright with CCTV coverage and have convenient access hours.
5. Pack and Organise Efficiently: Use strong (cardboard or plastic) boxes, label everything clearly, and organise items logically to maximise space and give ease of access.
6. Protect Your Belongings: Use appropriate packing materials like our “eco” bubble wrap or furniture covers to prevent damage whilst in transit.
7. Avoiding damage to goods: Storing items that haven’t been properly cleaned and dried will leave your belongings vulnerable to damage and decay.
8. Leave Aisle Space: Leave enough space (if you can) between rows of boxes and furniture to easily access items without having to move everything around.
9. Keep Important Documents Handy: Store important documents in a separate, easily accessible container within your storage unit, which is well marked or identifiable.
10. Review the Rental Agreement: Understand the terms of your rental agreement, including payment schedules, access hours and any restrictions on stored items.
