Self storage is becoming an increasingly popular option in the UK for business owners and homeowners alike. The purpose of a storage facility is to store belongings on behalf of the client in a secure and safe space. This could include anything from personal items, furniture, business stock, records or equipment to name just a few. If you were worried about your belongings, you could have them stored away at one of our facilities where they would be kept for you. It's a reliable and affordable means of storage.
How Does It Work?
The process is simple, reliable and cost-effective. You're able to rent a space at a storage facility to use for anything you need storing. You might hire any sort of space from a locker to a room. It depends on your storage needs and self-storage facilities will find a perfect space to accommodate you. The cost of your rented space typically increases with size of the unit. You can then hire out this space on a weekly, monthly or yearly basis for as long as you need it. We will continue to keep it safely tucked away at your disposal.
You can even invest in additional protection and maintenance for your belongings. For example, you could also upgrade your space with climate control features or security cameras if you want that extra reassurance.
You will be the sole keyholder of your property. Only you can access your self-storage unit, lock it and unlock it. You can add things or take things out as you need and you can access your belongings twenty four hours a day.
What Can You Store In A Self-Storage Facility?
You can store anything! It's a fantastic option for anyone looking to store a bulk of belongings or items or furniture because you can rent spaces large enough to keep them all safe. Some examples of things you might want to store:
Furniture such as beds, tables, chairs, etc.
Clothes
Books
Televisions and other electronics
Specialist equipment
Musical instruments
Camping gear/supplies
Business stock
Documents or business records
Boats and vehicles
Boxes containing anything
Of course, there are some exceptions. For example, you wouldn't be allowed to store anything illegal like stolen goods, drugs or weapons. You also shouldn't store anything dangerous like tyres, flammable/toxic materials or anything that has a risk of biohazard.
Top Reasons Why People Use Storage Facilities
People may use self-storage for any number of reasons. Whether it's for space-related issues, security of personal items or business needs, self-storage can help bring you that peace of mind you deserve, knowing that your valuables are kept safe and secure whenever you need them. So when would self-storage be a good option for you? Here are some examples below:
Moving House
Moving house can be a difficult, tiresome and time-consuming process. Keeping your furniture out of the way and keeping it stored securely at a facility can really simplify the process and make it much less stressful as you won't be worrying about where your furniture is. Storing your furniture can help you stay organised and minimise the risk of losing any belongings in the process.
For Students
Student life can become quite cluttered, especially as you collect resources, books and any equipment that is required for your course. With a self-storage facility, you can safely lock up all of these excess study resources to avoid cluttering up your dormitory. You'll be able to take them out when you need them and this can be especially useful when going in and out of term-time.
Downsizing
If you're moving to a smaller home but don't want to get rid of your beloved belongings, then you don't have to. You can simply store them at a storage facility. You can do this for as long as you need to.
Moving Office
Like downsizing or moving house, the same options are available for offices and other commercial buildings. When handling business files, records and documents, organisation is especially important so storing all your business resources is highly important. You don't want to start work with a cluttered new office, not knowing where anything is. You can also prevent the risk of anyone getting hold of valuable business information during an office move.
Business Storage
Business storage can help ease the stress of business owners who need to keep track of stock. Any kind of business can benefit from safe storage at a facility. For example, publishers, construction workers, retailers, E-commerce businesses, restaurants and other service providers can use storage units to keep on top of business, to store products waiting to be sold and to stay organised.
Going Abroad
If you're going away on a holiday, you want to be able to enjoy yourself without worrying about your home and belongings. Any valuable items can be stored in a storage facility while you are away so that you'll never have to worry about burglaries or thefts. You'll have the peace of mind you deserve, knowing that your belongings are locked up tightly and securely with 24/7 security footage around the clock.
Storing Seasonal Equipment
If you're into gardening, then you likely have a lot of tools equipment to store. But in the winter, when you're not able to do much in your garden, you can free up space or keep your tools safe with self-storage. You can come back and get your tools back out in the spring, ready for an exciting new gardening season.
