How Need A Space offer the most cost-effective self-storage
Here at Need A Space, like any other business, our assets are very important to us. And one of our biggest assets is the fundamental housing units which allow you, as a customer to store either your precious valuables or your business overflow – the containers.
Are containers just used for storage?
It is a misconception that containers can just be used for storage. On the contrary they have many different uses. For instance:
- Press Boxes (at events where space could be limited)
- Fire and Military Training Facilities
- Artist Studios
- Mobile Medical Clinics
- Recording Studios
Two types of containers in the logistics industry
There are actually two types of container – a shipping container and a storage container. Both more or less do as their names may suggest. A shipping container is a standard size and usually bought by a company in order to transport their products over long distances – nationally and internationally. They have to be very robust to be used at sea and usually have a shipping life of up to 15 years. It is after this time they are often used as a static accessory. i.e. as a storage container (and then enjoy a further life of 15 to 20 years).
However, after saying all of that, our clients are looking for space to put their precious valuables. They need containers which are going to be used for storage. That is what we provide. A storage container is available in a wide range of sizes and can be used for the storage of residential items or commercial goods.
Why we rent containers and never sell
Our business at Need A Space has thrived by always putting our customers first. The services we offer are not only cost -effective but most importantly our services are aimed precisely at maximising client satisfaction. In order to do this, we get to understand our prospective customers and also the most appropriate way they can access the products and services we make available. This is how we take the extra expense of storage space away. We never sell containers – we rent them. Our customers and clients wish to rent storage space for a defined period of time. This is all we charge. In this way, our customers do not have to invest in the huge cost of a container – they simply pay for the space they need.

We can all get too familiar with the work environment we work in. At best, it makes it cosy and safe and it allows us to work at least without having to deal with the stresses of navigating new office boundaries or searching out exactly where they keep the paper-clips now. But the downside is, especially for management, there is a failure to consistently make the most of the space available to employees. In order for there to be a healthy work place, company growth and the most made of a restricted budget, there is a need for constant monitoring of how daily processes take place.
Moving home can be one of the most exciting and fulfilling things you ever do. But with all the logistics, professionals involved, and transfer of high finances it can also be the most stressful. Some say it is the most stressful action you will ever take. So let’s put a cap on that! We have put together essential tips to make that move just a little bit easier.

Schooldays are not always the best days of your life. It can be a bit like marmite – some of us will look back contentedly chuckling over gentle memories of a world long gone. For others, school years are a time of trauma and any memories are best forgotten. A lot of this may be down to the fact that we have no choice as to whether we go to school or not. On the other hand, our colleges and universities are full of young people who had a choice and decided to continue with their education -they have control over their futures, and this can be an exciting time. Student life tends to be a be a time when we first taste real freedom, enjoy make decisions for ourselves and enjoy a more bohemian and more casual lifestyle.
