For many of us in the UK, space is often at a premium at home, particularly if you are a large family living under one roof. Hiring a self storage unit can give you some rest bite and peace of mind of knowing that your belongings are safely stored out of harm’s way in a secure facility. 

Here, we at Now Storage have ventured a bit deeper into the various reasons why you need a self storage unit. Carry on reading to learn more.

To help you move house smoothly

Moving house is widely thought to be one of the most stressful things you can do in life. You may have to quickly pack up all your belongings and then have a long wait before you can move into your new place, and you will need somewhere to store everything in the meantime. 

A sensible solution to make your house move go smoothly is hiring a self-storage unit. At Now Storage, we have self storage units of all different sizes at 13 locations across England and Wales, ideal for storing away your possessions securely when you’re in the process of moving house.

Student storage 

The student dilemma of having to bring items to and from home and university on a regular basis can be a tricky one. Where do students store their possessions before the new term begins?

This is where hiring self storage units can play a role as handy solution for students. This way, they can crack on with term knowing that their possessions are safe and sound.

Business storage purposes

You may require somewhere to store your business-related equipment, confidential documents, case notes, and so on. Perhaps you work remotely and run a business from home but your home office has become overly cluttered recently. Fear not, hiring a self storage unit is a suitable remedy to your business storage dilemmas. At Now Storage, we offer personal and business storage

Somewhere to put your stock  

Retailers often need a secure environment to store their stock, and e-commerce is now more popular than ever. A spacious self-self storage unit made from robust reinforced steel is an excellent place to store your stock. You can’t let your loyal paying customers down, so keep up with customer demand by always ensuring you have plenty of stock!

To declutter your home and keep hold of precious items

Has your home become a little overcrowded with your worldly possessions over time? Things can build up ever so quickly when you take your eye off the ball. You may therefore need to tidy up your home. 

That doesn’t mean however that you want to throw possessions away that hold special value to you, such as photos of loved ones, ornaments, toys from your childhood etc. Put these items in secure self storage rather than leaving them scattered around your home causing more untidiness.

To store DIY tools and equipment

Equipment and garden tools such as chain saws, heavy-duty drills, hedge trimmers, lawnmowers and such can take up a lot of space, whether you’re using them for work or home renovation purposes. DIY tools can be especially precious items to tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts. So, pack them safely into a self storage unit facility where they will be away from the hands of thieves.
