Four good reasons to use a storage facility
The 4 most common reasons for using a storage facility:
- Construction and renovation delays: tradespeople are running late, materials are missing or planning permission is taking ages. Knowing that your furniture is safely stored in a warehouse takes a huge amount of pressure off your schedule.
- A temporary stay abroad: You’re going abroad for a year or on a round-the-world trip, giving up your flat, but you want to keep your beloved furnishings when you return.
- Downsizing: Moving into a smaller flat can be difficult. A storage unit gives you the time you need to decide, at your own pace, which items you want to keep in the long term and which you’d like to part with.
- Temporary accommodation: You’ve found your dream flat, but you can’t move in for another three months, so you’re staying in furnished accommodation for the time being.
Preparation is everything
Preparing furniture properly for storage
Just pop everything in and close the door? Better not. To ensure your furniture still looks as good as new even after months, you should prepare it first. Textiles and upholstered furniture should be cleaned beforehand to prevent any unpleasant odours. Fridges and washing machines must be completely defrosted, emptied and dry – it’s best to leave the doors slightly open in the storage unit to prevent mould. The best way to protect delicate wooden furniture is with breathable covers, not airtight plastic sheeting.
Quality rather than a garage
What you need to bear in mind when using self-storage
Not every garage or musty barn is suitable for storing furniture. Damp, frost or pests can quickly ruin expensive furniture. A good storage facility must be dry, climate-controlled, clean and secure.
