Self-storage units have become common practice for both personal and commercial use, granting benefits to those with limited space. Maximising space has become a key goal for many households and businesses, leading to many switching how they store. Our self-storage units have become a local storage solution for many in Thurrock, providing a key service to support daily life and big moves. There are several key features for using a self-storage unit, with many highlighting how to maximise the benefits of the solution close to home.

Units provide an extension of space as an alternative storage solution, with our units ranging from 12 to 200 square feet. Flexible terms allow units to be used for either short-term or long-term purposes, depending on our clients’ requirements. We also feature an introductory offer of 50% off for the first 8 weeks, for first-time clients only. However, we also have other offers for our clients that store long-term after this introductory period ends. From personal use to asset storage, we can find the best fit to act as your spare room storage and match you to a unit size that accommodates your selection of items.

Use Self-Storage like a Spare Room Storage

A self-storage unit can open up space at home, while keeping any items you want in a safe and secure room that doesn’t take up a usable piece of your home or workplace. Spare room storage is better as an external solution as it allows you to make the most of vital space. This is especially effective when you live in a restricted space, such as a flat or maybe even renting a shared accommodation. We have seen an increase in storage clients as many switch out compacted storage at home to a storage facility that makes it easier to organise and access.

The Key to Keeping Space Usable

Self-storage is the best alternative to stop items from accumulating in any area that could be utilised effectively. This could be a huge difference, such as changing a storage room into a visitor’s Bedroom or simply making common-use items more accessible instead of a mess amassing. Organising what to place into storage is often the most time-consuming step in the process, but making the move at any time can help jump-start organisation. This also helps get a room ready fast for occasions such as an event, an example, clearing the Summer House before a BBQ party.

Once you have everything that clutters your home or workplace in storage, you can leisurely go through everything to check the priority of use. This could be the difference between a daily-used Hoover at home and a carpet cleaning that is only used once per month at most. Placing the irregularly used items in a storage unit is the best practice to utilise your common space and storage space.

Spare room storage can easily be transitioned into a self-storage unit, creating a better flow between used items and stored goods. Optimising your space can also help reduce stress by providing a clear environment. Self-storage can also enable more options that are usually unavailable when simply storing at home. This includes storing items or furniture with potential, such as cot beds, tables, or any range of large-scale goods that our units can accommodate.
