How to choose the perfect self-storage provider in Kent

To help you to decide which company you use for your storage needs you first of all need to be specific about what your storage requirements are.

• Are you a business with seasonal storage requirements?
• Are you moving house and need to store your furniture during the period you are moving in?
• Are you a student needing to store your stuff during the summer recess?
• Are you a London company wanting to find a cheap storage company outside of London?
• Are you looking to free up your offices by archiving all your documents?

Location, location, location

The next  factor on your list however will be location. Clearly the storage facility needs to be within your catchment area (or area where you are moving to) so that you can cut down on transport costs and also ensure that all of your valuables are easily accessible.

Trust is paramount

You need a company you can trust. In some cases (especially when you are moving house) the assets you place in storage could be your most valuable possessions. You need to know that the company concerned respects privacy and confidentiality and has the facilities in place to put the processes into action. Visit the location where your possessions will be stored. Check what security systems are in place. Are these security systems robust?

Check for past client reviews (on independent sites and look out for “Check-a-trade” recommendations on the site.

Make sure those essential little extras are available

Self-storage is not always as easy as it sounds and there can be a lot of logistics involved before you know your possessions and valuables are safe and sound. The superior self-storage companies will offer extra services as well as just the storage facility.

For instance at Need A Space we offer services that will make that move smooth, easy and stress-free:

• Staff on-site to offer guidance and direction
• An assisted fork lift truck service to help you manoeuvre your valuables into position easily
• We offer the use of our removal van. This way you put all of your contracts to do with the move in one place.
• We also offer flexibility. If you want storage space for a long period of time (as many of our loyal customers do) you will probably need to increase or decrease the space capacity you are allotted at different times.
• The key to a smooth move is packing well and we offer all those packaging necessities (boxes, bubble wrap, foam wrap, strong tape etc.).
