Self storage acts as an amazing and flexible storage solution regardless of how much or how less you have to store. With the help of one of the many self storage units that are dotted around the UK you have the choice of storing more or less anything you like in the space and size that you choose for as long or as short a time that you feel necessary.
The main two methods of self storage come in what is known as document storage and domestic storage. The main difference between these two forms of storage being that document storage is what you will use if you have important business papers that need to be keep but you have no space or no where secure to keep them at the office. It isn't however only business owners that can make the most of document storage. If you are a property owner and you have documents such as legal papers or your will and you feel nervous about keeping them in the house, you can make use of document self storage where they will be kept safe and secure in fire resistant containers that are kept at a certain temperature so no damage is caused to them.
The other form of self storage that you can make the most of is domestic storage. Domestic storage is more widely used than document storage as it is used for all of your household items such as furniture through to smaller items such as jewellery. Domestic self storage lets you store pretty much anything and due to the size of the storage units that you are able to get a hold of, you can store one or two items through to the entire contents of your house if you need too!
Choosing the size of your self storage unit is something that requires a bit more than guess work. If you are planning on storing big pieces of furniture or you are looking to place quite a few items into the same storage unit, you need to make sure that the items you are planning to place in will fit. To get the right size storage unit for your personal possessions and household items I recommend that you follow the tips below:
Measure the length, width and height of the largest item you need to store. This will show you the smallest unit size you could take
If you're storing the entire contents of your house let the storage provider know how many bedrooms you have, as this is a good indicator of space needed
If you're storing everything in boxes, tell the self-storage facility the size of box and how many you have; the storage company can then give you a good estimate of the size of the storage unit that you will need to rent out
If you have room in, for example, a garage or a spare room put all of your boxes and storage items in it as if you were storing it so you can see how much space it takes up
Another feature of a self storage unit that I feel is important to know is the fact that storage unit agreements can be terminated at very short notice. You won't be tied to long contracts, so if you find out at short notice that you don't need to help of a self storage company it is not a problem as you only pay for the actual time that you are using your self storage company for.
