Student Storage Tips
- Get organised. Declutter and your possessions beforehand and have a clearout – there’s no need to store items you don’t need!
- Choose the right packaging. Storing clothing, books or any other items that are susceptible to mould growth or could be easily damaged by moisture? Make sure you choose durable, airtight plastic containers.
- Label everything. Write the contents of each box on a label and stick it to the box. That way, when you next go to retrieve items from your unit, you’ll know exactly where everything is. You’ll thank ‘future you’ for putting in that bit of extra effort – the more well organised your unit, the better.
Why Choose 1st Access?
Since 1990, 1st Access has been a go-to provider of quality, affordable self storage options in Peterborough. We’re not part of a nationwide chain – we’re a family-run, independent business, and understand the importance of top-notch customer service. It’s why we’ve received so many five-star reviews over the years. Our friendly team is always happy to help and offer advice when you need it.
We’re conveniently located and our units are secure 24/7, with on-site CCTV cameras to keep your stuff safe. Plus, we even offer a move in and move out service, saving you the hassle of doing the heavy lifting!
With round-the-clock access available and competitive prices, if you’re on the lookout for a self storage provider that has it all, you’ve come to the right place.
Most students who rent units with us tend to go for one of our smaller options, in the region of 25-50 sq ft. To give you an idea, a 50 sq ft unit is half the size of a standard garage. Not sure which to go for? Just give us a call or drop us an email – we’re here to help.
This of course depends on which unit you choose, along with a few other variables like your insurance cover and access level. This is why we don’t provide standard pricing and require customers to get a quote – everyone’s needs are different. Getting a quote is free and will only take a few minutes!
Absolutely. We don’t believe in locking our customers into cumbersome contracts, so you’ll be able to cancel whenever you like.
