The Do’s and Don’ts of Renting Container Storage in London

Renting container storage in London can make all the difference to your life and your home. It can, however, although a simple process, not many people knowing where to start. The team at Store That are here to help you feel a little less overwhelmed. We want to make your storage unit journey a simple one, so let’s take a look at the do’s and don’ts of renting container storage in London.

Do Your Research 

Even though you may need to find container storage in London quickly, it’s important not to rush in.  Ensure you conduct research into the company before you choose and make sure you go with the best option for you. Rushing may mean you miss out on picking a storage unit with great equipment and security for one which offers the complete opposite. Check all the costs so there are no surprises and look around for a location convenient to you.

You may also want to look at reviews from people who have stored with that company before, for peace of mind that you are making to correct choice. 

Don’t Choose the Smallest Unit 

Even though a smaller unit may be a cheaper option, you may come to regret it. Once you start to store things, you may find that your belongings accumulate, and you will start to need more space than you originally planned. The best, most cost-effective way to prepare for this is to get a bigger unit to start off with. This can give you some space to sort your things out later on, rather than having to turf everything out to get something from the back, or even to add more items if you wish. 

Don’t Just Throw Everything In 

It is important to have a plan on how you are going to organise and store items in container storage in London. Without proper storage techniques, your unit could get messy and disorganised very quickly. This makes it easier for things to get damaged and harder to find those things you may need to access quickly. If your unit is organised, you will be able to store a lot more items than you would otherwise. 

Do Purchase a Strong Lock 

If you choose to rent container storage in London at Store That, we offer you the best 24 hour in-house security, plus CCTV throughout the facility. Your unit also requires a padlock which you can bring or, alternatively buy a padlock from our store.
