Short Term Storage Tips
- Disassemble furniture: Want to make the most of the space available in your unit? Disassembling furniture is a great way of doing just that. You’ll be surprised by how much you can squeeze in!
- Catalogue everything: When you’re boxing items up or stacking them on top of one another, don’t forget to label boxes or write a list of what’s inside your unit. It’ll make life easier when you come to retrieve stuff.
- Cover or box your items: Make sure you choose appropriate boxes or covers for your items. For example, we’d recommend covering furniture with dust sheets to keep it pristine, or storing books in damp-proof plastic boxes.

Talking of security, our units are covered by CCTV and security staff at all hours, giving you total peace of mind. We’re also big on convenience, which is why we offer a complete move in and move out service too.
