During the long end-of-year holidays, students often face the dilemma of what to do with their possessions when leaving for home. In order to save on rent, a temporary tenant may be the solution or the landlord may want to use it for Christmas visitors. Whatever the problem, whether you want to store the total contents of your digs or just your personal stuff, Self Storage is the answer.
Self Storage units come in different sizes to suit a tenant’s special needs. To establish exactly what you would require, you can consult the facility’s trained staff. And if you need more (or less) space, you can transfer to another unit. As easy as that!
Your stored goods will be safe. The storage premises are secured with numerous systems and devices. Visit the safety features on the company’s website. If still uncertain, the staff will assist you in organising insurance. Remember, the facility’s insurance does not cover the contents of the units. They can also help with transport, packaging material and padlocks. Trolleys are available to move heavy or bulky items.
To store a fridge, empty and clean it and leave the door open while in storage. Save on space by storing tables, couches and mattresses on their sides. Heavy items should go into small boxes for easy lifting. Anything fragile must be secured with the proper packaging material. When storing clothes, wardrobe boxes or rails covered with a dust sheet will save you from having to iron everything.
There are some items that are not advisable to store, like flammable liquids, plants, perishable food, fire arms and irreplaceable goods. If in doubt, ask our staff.
Do an inventory for your own convenience and keep a copy in your Self Storage unit.
To secure a unit, you would need identification, a one-month deposit and a once-off administration fee. Bring your own padlock or buy one from reception.
While you are enjoying your break, or taking a gap year, your stored goods will be safely waiting for your return.
