When do I need self storage?

Self storage can be ideal for a wide range of circumstances involving your home or business. There’s never a bad time to rent self storage, whether you are moving house, downsizing, dealing with a bereavement, decluttering your home or just need somewhere to store seasonal items.

Here are a few reasons you may require storage:

Moving home

Moving home is one of the most stressful experiences that an individual or family can ever go through. Even a move that feels exciting and enjoyable at first, soon becomes taxing, especially as the moving day approaches.

Self storage units offer a variety of advantages during the moving process. For starters, they provide an extra space to store items that you don’t want to part with but cannot fit in your new home. In addition, it can keep your items safe and secure while you move from one property to the next.

Home overflow

It’s no surprise that our homes can become quickly overwhelmed with possessions. Whether it’s furniture, books, memorabilia or anything else, sometimes we just need to make space for what matters most in our lives. Free up your home and make room for the more important things with self storage.

Renovation or redecoration

Are you about to embark on a home improvement project? Perhaps you want to redecorate your living room, but don’t have enough space in the rest of your house or flat to store furniture, carpets and other items?

Self storage can help protect your household items, and furniture from potential damage such as by paint splashes, dust and other substances. Plus it can free up space making your project much easier.

Business storage

Self-storage units are also a great option for businesses who need extra space. Whether it’s to store equipment, documents or excess stock, self-storage is far cheaper than renting more office space as you only pay for the actual amount of space that you use.

Relocating a business

If you’re planning to relocate business premises, you’ll likely need somewhere to store your office equipment, tools, furniture, documents and other items while moving. You can tick one more task off the to-do list by using self storage for your business items.

Going to University

Students often require a place to store items such as clothes, books and furniture over the summer months when they return home. Self storage is an ideal solution, as you can use it for as long or short a time as you need.

Travelling

Heading off across the world? Our storage units are perfect for keeping belongings safe while you’re off on your adventure. Best of all, once you return your items will be right where you left them. Our flexible rentals mean you can rent your unit for exactly however long you want to go away for.
