Techniques for storing in your unit

  • Put the big items of furniture in the storage unit first. We would always suggest that larger items are placed against the walls of your unit
  • If you are renting a smaller unit its important to use all available space. A really clever trick is on wardrobes, chests of drawers or cupboards open the doors / drawers and stack boxes inside.
  • Fabric sofa’s can be safely stored on their side to save space
  • Importantly never store a leather sofa on its side as it will sag. Always store a leather sofa upright
  • Appliances like fridges, freezers or washing machines should stored with the doors wedged open
  • If you are renting a large unit, leave a centre aisle clear so you can move items quickly an easily within your storage unit

Clear space and rent a room

Do you have a spare room, that’s not used, but is full of important possessions and heirlooms. These items and possessions are of limited monetary value but are special or hold special memories and cant be replaced. Why not put the items in self storage ( where they will be safe and secure ) and rent out a room through AirBnB  or to a permanent lodger .  Whilst there will be cost to the self storage, the revenue generated should more than cover the cost ( and your treasured possessions remain safe).

Property rental while travelling

Perhaps you have got to the stage (age) in life where you have the opportunity to go travelling for lengthy durations. If you own your home, why not put all your treasured possessions in storage while you are away and rent out your property. For many the revenue generated by renting out covers their travelling expenses and storage costs. It allows people to travel knowing there possessions are safe and ready to be reinstated when they return home
