You'll be surprised how much time and effort moving items for storage can take. With this in mind, why don’t you check out our tips below – if you follow our handy advice, we can assure you that the whole process will go more smoothly.

Tip 1:

Preparation and planning are essential components of a successful storage solution - decide if you will need regular access to any of your goods.  If you will, make sure these are the final items packed into your container.  Or you could leave a walkway down the middle of your container so you can access all your possessions easily.

Tip 2:

Identify your heaviest or fullest boxes and place these first with your bulky items to make the most solid base to stack other items onto.  If you have wardrobes, cupboards or shelves to store, place these items in and use them to store smaller items inside thus using your space most effectively.

Tip 3:

Make sure you pack your belongings properly and label each box clearly and then place so you can see the labels in case you need to access items whilst they're in storage.  

Tip 4:

Take care to pack any sharp edges or tools to avoid accidents when unpacking.

Tip 5:

Secure your unit with a padlock - ask us and we can advise you on the size you need to purchase.
