If you intend to go travelling or you're moving from a large house into a smaller one or you're renting for while and can't get all your furniture in or you're even a business and need safe and secure storage for important documents and files. Whatever your requirements self storage is the option for you.

Self storage is when you package items, belongings, documents or furniture you don't require at the moment or just want to store away somewhere safely. There are many self storage unit facilities around the UK offering not only self storage but also home and international removals.

Some storage centres can be very flexible and offer a service in which they collect and deliver your items from storage saving you from visiting the centre to collect or drop off your items.
Some also can drop off your specified unit at your house, let you fill it up with whatever you want then they come and collect the unit once full, what more could you ask for.

Different self storage companies offer different prices of course. If you intend to store items for over 12 months then a lot of self storage companies offer discounts, so it's always best to ask and find out what they can offer you. The larger the container or unit you have of course the higher the price will be, of course if you don't fill it to start with you may fill it later with other items.

Of course you may be worried of security and the safety of your items stored away in containers and units. If this is the case then make sure you go for a recommended self storage company or a company who has good feedback. The storage containers or units should all be clean and dry so your items don't become damp and dirty whilst in storage. Not only this, but having security systems in place is important to keep your items secure and safe. There are some companies who offer temperature controlled containers which is great for those items that require a certain temperature. Other systems which are an advantage are CCTV systems and 24hr security as well as fire systems; just in case a fire started the emergency services would be automatically called immediately.

I would say a must in any self storage is that the company have full liability insurance on your items whilst in their care. So if something does happen there is insurance to cover the replacement, repair or compensation for this.

Whatever your self storage needs, make sure you get the right sized container for your items, have a safe and secure container in which to store these items and also that the whole self storage facility has 24hr security. If you're likely to keep getting stuff in and out of your container it may be a good idea to use a self storage facility in your area saving not only money but time too.

If you live in the Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire area you may work in London and all you want to do is relax when you're home not running backwards and forwards to and from your storage container. Remember the facility is to make your life easier and store your unwanted, unneeded items.
