Unlocking Space: The Guide to Self Storage Solutions

Frustrated with the number of items you have? Moving house and need to store items temporarily? In this blog, we hope to inform you on why self-storage may be the perfect solution for you.

Why self-storage?

There are many reasons to use self-storage such as:

• Redecorating: With an increase in house prices, most people are choosing to renovate and redecorate their current house and increase its value. Meaning they need to temporarily move their furniture to protect from plaster and paint.
• Moving home: For those moving house, you may want to keep your valuables somewhere safe until you have fully settled into your new home. This can prevent possible damage when cramming all your belongings into a van on moving day!
• Business storage: For those who have a business or even a small side hustle, it's best to keep your products in a safe and secure storage container to free up room in your shop or workspace.
• Equipment and tools: Whether you love DIY or love to garden, those bulky and awkward to store items would fit perfectly in self-storage.

How will I know my storage is secure?

At Pickups, our site is securely managed on CCTV 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. We also have comprehensive alarm systems, and we provide you with your own individual key to your storage container.

What if some of my items have certain requirements?

We understand that certain items, such as electronics, wooden furniture, and sensitive documents, require particular care to prevent damage from extreme temperatures and humidity. Many self-storage facilities offer climate-controlled units that regulate temperature and humidity levels. Investing in a climate-controlled unit can provide added protection for your more delicate belongings.

What is the average cost of self-storage?
