Are you moving house and need somewhere to safely store your possessions for a little while? Or perhaps you’re a business owner and need a storage space to put your office equipment or tools and machinery? 

Whether at home or in the office, it certainly always seems like you never have enough storage space. This is where self-storage facilities can really help you out. 

Hoarding your possessions is no good in the long run. Let’s take a look into what to put store in a storage unit and why hiring one could be the right option for you. 

Home furniture

It’s nice to decorate your home and put your own stamp on it by getting quirky home furniture items. When you decide to move home, you may begin wondering where to put your wardrobe, chest of drawers, sofa, chairs, dining tables, and so on. Using a self-storage unit will drastically lessen the overall amount you need to move from A to B on moving day. Planning your packing and storage will make the moving experience far simpler. 

But will your large furniture fit into a storage unit? Of course! Here at Now Storage, we offer storage units in a range of sizes, from 40 right up to 240 sq ft, which is plenty big enough for a 5-bed house.

Personal possessions and family heirlooms

Many of us have special belongings or heirlooms passed down through generations and things holding a particular sentimental value for us that we want to keep. They could be photographs holding precious memories, books, clothes, or anything we hold dear that strikes a chord with our heartstrings.

Keeping customers’ possessions and valuables safe and secure is one of our top priorities as a self storage company. Our storage facilities at all 13 locations across England and Wales are monitored by 24-hour CCTV. In addition, all our units are constructed from solid steel. So, rest assured your belongings will be safe with us. Please note, we do not store jewellery, watches, or money as a policy, you can keep them in a safe.

Large kitchenware 

Are you and those you live with real foodies? In that case, you may have larger kitchenware items at home such as portable barbecues, mixing machines and air fryers. 

These things can take up a lot of space! You may not have the kitchen storage to warrant keeping them in the house if you’re not using them day-to-day. If so, hiring storage unit space will be an apt solution.

Clothes

Acquiring mountains of clothes over the years is easily done, especially if you’ve got a passion for fashion or love a bit of online shopping. Want to keep that special suit or dress stored away in a place it’s safe and sound when moving house? Or perhaps you want to change out your wardrobe seasonally and need somewhere to store your summer clothes in the winter and vice versa. 

A self-storage unit could be the ideal home for those special items you don’t need right now but definitely don’t want to throw away.

Gardening equipment

Have you got green fingers? A large number of people in the UK took up gardening or got an allotment during the pandemic as they realised how fun it could be. Gardening is also thought to have benefits for our mental wellbeing. 

If you an avid gardener who’s proud of your patch, you may have a lawnmower, hedge trimmer, chainsaw, shears, wheelbarrow, and loads more. Owing to their size, garden equipment can be tricky to store. Find your nearest Now Storage centre and give yourself peace of mind by hiring one of our units. That way, you will know your gardening kit is safe and secure. 

Office items

Office items such as stationery, computers, printers, furniture, photocopiers, desks and chairs can become clutter when you have more than you need. And a cluttered office often isn’t the best space to inspire productivity!

A self-storage unit is the perfect solution for busy business owners needing a bit of extra space. Rest assured that all your businesses inventory will be safe under lock and key until you need to access it again.

Work power tools

Are you a tradesperson and want somewhere to store your hefty work power tools away from your home? Power tools can be pretty expensive these days. Hiring a space in a secure storage facility could be ideal for storing your power tools away from the hands of thieves. 

Commercial stock

Modern top-quality storage facilities like ours at Now Storage offer both business and personal storage solutions and can help you out.

Owning your own caravan can be quite an adventure, from rainy holidays to hairy car journeys on country roads and motorways. However, caravans aren’t usually space efficient, and you may not have enough room on your driveway at home.
