Whether you’re moving house, making space at home, or storing business stock, a little preparation goes a long way when it comes to self storage. Here are our three top tips to help keep your belongings safe, clean, and organised:
1. Pack smartly
Use strong boxes and don’t overload them. Heavy items (like books) should go in smaller boxes so they’re easy to lift, while lighter items (like bedding or clothes) can fill larger ones. Always label your boxes — you’ll thank yourself later when you need to find something quickly.
2. Protect delicate items
Wrap fragile belongings in bubble wrap or packing paper, and use blankets or dust sheets to cover furniture. This not only keeps items safe during transport but also helps protect them from scratches and dust while in storage.
3. Plan your space
Put the items you’ll need most often near the front of your unit, and stack boxes safely with heavier ones at the bottom. Leaving a small walkway down the middle makes it easy to get to everything without having to move it all around.
