Why Need A Space removal services should be your first choice

moving homeIt is an old adage that moving home is probably one of the biggest stresses in life you will ever have to face.  Need A Space is a small but highly cost-effective and quality self-storage and removals service based in Faversham Kent. You don’t need to take these two services together but if you are considering relocating then we recommend you take a look at the features we have on offer.

Getting rid of the doubt

Moving home is not something you are going to do regularly. For most people it is something you do once in a lifetime – and that sometimes proves once too much. So when it comes to considering which is the right removals company for you, it is likely you will not have a great deal of pointers as to who to go with. At Need A Space we realise that the more you know about what you should be looking for, the better we can work together. So expect our staff to be available to answer your questions, pull out those extra stops, and offer you features that you should be looking for from all top-quality removals services.

Practical help before you move

How many vans will you need? What is the best way to transport it? At Need A Space we offer you a survey of your home before you have to make that big trip. We visit your home to get an idea as to what exactly you will need as well as giving you extra advice re transporting those extra-special hard to handle valuables. On top of this we can give you an estimated quote as to what the cost is likely to be – no obligation whatsoever.

All the accessories you need

Once you start packing up you are going to need all those important accessories at your fingertips and Need A Space offers access to cardboard boxes that are made especially for the job in hand. And those extras that are always never there when you need them – such as bubble wrap and robust tape. We may even be able to let you have them at a discount price!

Everything you need for your moving day

  • Each staff member briefed as to your exact requirements
  • We use floor protectors to ensure that your homes stay as clean as when we found them!
  • We come equipped with portable wardrobes to make transporting your clothes even easier.
  • We can also provide quilted sofa covers to ensure your mind is at rest.
  • We will take an itinerary of all the items being transported and this will be signed off by our staff and yourself to make sure everything is on board that should be!

 

We have enough experience in helping couples, families and businesses relocate to know how to get you there safely and with the greatest peace of mind. Your move is our move – let’s get there together. To learn more click here

 

 

 

 

 

How self-storage can help you really enjoy this summer to the full!

seasonal storageWhat makes British weather different from almost any other country in the world? At the moment, British weather is just a little bit untraditional. We are all lapping up the fantastic sunshine and the kind of temperatures that you normally you only associate with North Africa, the Middle East or the South of France. As great as it is, it does seem as if the weather is becoming the same the world over. Just hot. (we are complaining already as we always do)

But there is one weather factor in Britain that we think will never change and that is the seasons. They may have become a little irregular lately and we may get the odd rogue snow shower in July or a balmy afternoon in February – but overall the seasons are still what we have always known them to be.

We are so lucky to be able to experience a rich change in weather styles (even when we curse it!) because it brings with it diverse nature, activities, hobbies and environments each and every season. However, to make the most of those changes we have to be prepared. What happens to all of that stuff we only use during one season? Is it going to clog up the house till next year or is it going to be an extra expense when the time comes around again? What do businesses do with products out of season?

The quick, cheap and easy answer we offer is self-storage.

Summer hobbies

Many people put-off even buying equipment for their hobbies because there is just no room at home to keep it during the winter months. With self-storage you can keep you kayaks, beach furniture, Bar-b-ques, parasols, kites etc in a secure place where you have access to them the whole year round (just in case December does turn out to be hot!)

Dress to the weather

A wardrobe can only “squeezing stuff in”. And if you have to make a choice what stays and what goes then it is likely the out of season stuff is going to go first – even if it is your favourite T-shirt. But by taking advantage of self-storage you can hold onto those precious woolly hats, that little black dress, or those sexy shorts at low cost – and save you buying again next year!

Student support

Student-life with short terms and long holidays can seem pretty idyllic. However, holiday time can mean you have to give serious thought as to where you are living during your breaks and what possessions you are going to keep and which you are sadly going to have to let go. Self-storage gives students an extra option where they can store their valuables at the end of term, find them safe and secure when the come back to college and keep their budgets healthy.

Business savings

All businesses need to keep stock available all year round, but this can be confounded when they have to provide products for specific seasons into account. Organisations can quickly run out of space and may have to contemplate expanding premises just for storage or  renting property with high rent to meet the needs of supply. However, businesses can use self-storage when they need it instead of getting hooked into long-term costly rental contracts.

Don’t throw away your valuables and don’t let shortage of space let you enjoy this fantastic summer to the highest degree. Need A Space, based in Faversham put your mind at rest and get you out there!

 

 

 

Students get your storage needs organised fast!

Need A Space storage unitsAt Need A Space Self-storage we have come to know the needs and requirements of the university and college student very well. That is why you will find when you come round to view our super-effective storage units you will not be disappointed.

Summer time is an exciting time for everyone – whatever age you may be or whatever stage you may be in your career – but June, July and august are especially busy, exciting and somewhat exhausting for the university and college student.

Canterbury University is just around the corner

We should know – Canterbury University is just on our doorstep. We love working with the young professionals of tomorrow make their educational years just a little easier and a little bit more organised. Canterbury University is one of the oldest educational institutions in the UK and the pride of England. Set amongst wonderful medieval buildings and green and open tranquil places, the six separate campuses rub shoulders with the Templeman Library and the Gulbenkian arts centre.

Need A Space is based just down the road at Boughton – Under – Blean. At this time of year, examinations and revision are of course upper most in mind, but students will also be putting their mind to deciding where they will be living at the end of term. But it is also a time of beginnings. Many future scholars will have just been accepted to their desired courses at Canterbury and will be in the process of looking for accommodation in preparation for that big move.

Either way, student life can be very transient – this is a time in our lives when we are looking to travel and see the world. The problem with this type of lifestyle is the student is perpetually moving belongings, furniture and valuables form one place of safety to another. This is no fun. This can all be made a great deal easier by storing possessions in one place.

Need A Space storage units

At Need A Space we provide low-cost (to keep in line with student budgets) flexible and accessible self-storage units – you can upsize and downsize your storage unit without prior notice and with no penalty. Always looking to keep costs low, you only pay for the storage space you use. We welcome groups of students who wish to cut costs by storing their possessions together in one storage unit. You can rest assured that your valuables will be safe at all times thanks to our cutting-edge security systems such as CCTV, a monitored alarm system and high-security infrared beams.

And we can even help you get it all moved in a jiffy. As well as a removals service, packaging accessories, a hire van, and support on-site we are there to offer you any advice you may need.

The knowledge that your possessions are safe until you need them again (and are readily available in our storage units) will offer a great peace of mind and get rid of a lot of wasted time and logistics. To learn more about our services or get a quick quote, please click here

 

 

 

Spring clean and store!

That time of year has finally arrived. OK the weather is still pretty unpredictable – rain, high winds and a spattering of snow still book-ends those wonderful balmy sunny days, but if you are in the UK, as we all know, you take what your given as a sign of spring-time. And those sunny days are happening more often – and when they do, it is definitely warmer.

Spring has sprung and we can’t wait doing the things attributable to this exciting time of year. This is the time for beach fun, walks and cycle rides in the countryside, thrills at the fairground, re-designing the garden and long Sunday afternoons spent idling over a cold pint of lager.

But Hold on.

There are other, not so cool stuff, that spring brings with it.

Yes, this is the time for spring cleaning. If you are house-proud in any way it will be these first hot months of the year that gets you asking yourself how are you going to clean what you have, get rid of what you don’t need and re-organise, buy new trendy stuff to give your home an uplift and reset it all so it still fits into the same ever-diminishing space.

As much as chucking out the old tired stuff can be tiresome, it can also be very rewarding – though it doesn’t beat the experience of re-designing your home space with something new and fabulous. However, it is often the throwing out task where we fall-down. When we first do an inventory of our homes we are clear about what we want to get rid of. When we actually come to action it – something seems to get in the way to stop us zipping through the list with ease.
So what’s this all about? How come we cannot go through with clearing the decks?

Well, there are a number of possible reasons:

1. Although tired and worn some of our possessions have a nostalgic value. We just can’t let it go.
2. Gifts received need to be kept as courtesy to the giver. It feels wrong to let it go.
3. Some possessions may be seasonal and therefore only used at certain times of the year. We will only end up buying the same stuff again later in the year.
4. Some documents need to be kept within an archive. The tax man cometh.
5. Guides and instruction manuals need to be kept where they can be accessed easily. Murphy’s law you will need them.
6. Some furniture seems so much part of your everyday environment, it’s still difficult to get rid of it even though you have grown to hate it. Our surroundings become our identities.

So what is the answer? How can you move on and still hold onto those nik-naks its just wrong, or too difficult to let go of?

Self-storage is the solution. It gives you that extra bit of space so you can hold onto those beloved – but tired treasures, those important aged documents and offers easy access to all that stuff you only need every now and again. With self-storage you really can re-fresh you living-space without having to be ruthless with the valuables you need to keep by your side. A good self-storage company will offer 24/7 accessibility; a quote to meet you exact spatial needs, on-site removals support and great prices.

If you are living in Kent in the Faversham, Herne Bay, Canterbury area give us a shout. We are here to help you get over the chores and get out and enjoy the spring weather with peace of mind. To learn more about all Need A Space can offer you click here

Save money by making the most from self-storage

 

saveSelf-storage really can offer great ways to store your domestic valuables and business assets at ridiculously low prices. And it is all so easy. Just find a storage provider near you, rent out a unit, fill it up and relax. That’s it. The self-storage company will keep it safe and accessible for when you need to get to your stuff again.

Ok that’s easy, but there are ways to make the storage process even more streamlined and in the long run – save even more money. Take a look at our clever ideas for making more room in your unit, store your valuables safely and make the best of what is open to you:

  1. First of all, a cardboard box may seem boring, but they are not all the same. The cheaper cardboard boxes, or the ones you are likely to get free from supermarkets tend to be very weak. They will crush easily and so will not protect your valuables well -especially if they are going to be stacked. Invest in double strength cardboard boxes. They are more resilient and longer lasting too. Think about the size of the box. You may be able to get more in a big box but heavy boxes are difficult to carry and move around. Smaller boxes are easier to transport and easier to stack.

 

  1. You may be storing temporarily or for long-term. Either way it is likely you may need access to some of your storage sometime. So organise your storage. Try to keep to certain categories in each box and label what each box contains. Divide up your unit space so that certain categories can be found easily. Leave an aisle between your valuables so everything is accessible and keep a map of where categories can be found.

 

  1. Us the storage space you already have. If you have luggage, or dressers and wardrobes with drawers, use this space to store your smaller valuables.

 

  1. Nowadays most furniture can be disassembled to a degree. This can really offer a great deal more space in your unit. But be careful. When they were originally assembled you had a manual. Now you have to rely on common sense. Keeping a disassembly cheat sheet is essential. Don’t forget to keep screws bolts and nuts somewhere safe.

 

  1. Blankets, sheets and cloths can take up a lot of space. Vacuum bags keep your belongings neat and tidy and also very flat – therefore creating much more room. Your valuables are also now protected from dust and damp.

 

Whatever the reason you need that little bit of extra space – self -storage can provide the answer and at a price you can afford. It is flexible to allow access at any time and offers the kind of security that gives you peace of mind. To learn more about Need A Space based in Faversham in Kent click here

 

So who needs self-storage in Kent?

self-storageThe greatest thing about self-storage is that it has benefits for just about everyone in every kind of situation. From business owners to re-locators and from home-owners trying to free up space, to travellers wanting to store their valuables until they return, self-storage gives you the one factor you need to look, good, function and move on: Space.

Space. The only time that space was in the slightest bit interesting was when Captain Kirk was taking his starship to the final frontier at double warp speed.  Otherwise it doesn’t tend to motivate and excite – which is a pity as it is fundamental to most of the big decisions we make in life.

Moving home

Take moving to a new house for instance. I recently made the decision to move to a new home in Anglesey. The move was a great success but there was one disappointment with our new-build home: Storage space. This is because space is pretty boring. The kind of things which attract us to a new home are the amount of rooms, the location, how high the council tax will be, does it have double glazing(?), what fixtures and fittings will remain etc. Because storage space is all about those things that stay out of sight and are not used much. Its only when there is nowhere to put the unsightly-rarelky used stuff that they really become a great problem!

Business self-storage

As a business owner, your greatest investment is likely to be in stocking your product. You will also perhaps need a store for office equipment when it is needed. If your business is thriving and growing but not yet ready for new premises you need to free up space to make room for your expansion. If your business is seasonal or if you are a salesman travelling with a large itinerary a place to keep all your assets is essential.

The travellers piece of mind

If you are the kind of person who loves travelling, then you need to know that your valuables will be safe when you get back. A great benefit of the self-storage route is you know your precious assets will be secure under more than just a front door key.

Security and flexibility while learning

Students (and sometimes teachers) have to deal with terms, half-terms and holidays. While they may rent their accommodation while they are studying away from home, they are likely to be needing to store their valuables when they return home.

Time to de-clutter!

And what better than a spring clean? As the family grows and there are more hungry mouths at the table it often seems like space is at a premium.  We have all been in that frustrating situation where you can’t open a cupboard door without everything falling out of it – and half of the stuff in there you never use anyway! Time to move the useless stuff out so you can start functioning again.

Downsizing

Downsizing has become the trend – especially later on in life – so self-storage is the perfect solution to ensuring that you can still hang on to those most precious things you hold most dear.

The list is endless. Whatever the reason you need that little bit of extra space – self -storage can provide the answer and at a price you can afford. It is flexible to allow access at any time and offers the kind of security that gives you peace of mind. To learn more about Need A Space based in Faversham in Kent click here
