You may be typing into Google, “best storage near me”, but do you have clear guidelines yet as to what is the best self storage for you? If you are considering a self-storage unit in East Kent, then you need to conduct the suitability checks to make sure that you choose the best storage unit for your needs. Equally and perhaps more importantly, for the safety and security of your possessions or stocks.
This is an important decision; after all, if you were not overly concerned about your physical items, then you would just throw them away, which is why you should take some time to find the perfect self-storage facility near to where you live. Need A Space offer an excellent central location for Canterbury, Faversham as well as Whitstable and Herne Bay self storage clients.
How Easy Is It To Access The Self-Storage Unit?
One of the considerations that people often overlook when choosing a self-storage unit is accessibility. This is not in reference to the unit itself, but rather the physical process of getting to and from the unit. Is the location in an area where traffic comes to a grinding halt during rush hour? Need A Space is located between Faversham and Canterbury and just off the A2 for easy access.
Does visiting the self-storage facility involve a significant detour from your home or office?
These are two crucial factors to consider because with all the best intentions in the world, if going to the unit to collect or drop off your property is a frustrating and time-intensive experience, you are much less likely to go, which ultimately makes the self storage unit a less valuable proposition.
How Easy Is Gaining Access To The Unit Itself?
Another factor to consider is how easy it is to gain access to your self-storage unit. Let’s assume for a second that you are an online retailer and the sole purpose of the unit is to store your stock. In the vast majority of cases, you will not need access in the middle of the night, which aids us in site night time lockdown security. However you will require long access hours and Saturdays which we indeed offer at Need A Space. Are you able to gain access to the self-storage unit at these times, or is the facility only open during business hours?
How Secure Is The Self-Storage Facility?
The entire purpose of using a self-storage facility is the ability to store your property safely and securely. When you go to visit any potential self-storage unit, ask about the security measures they have in place. Is there CCTV in operation both within the units and outside? In addition to the latest cctv systems, Need A Space features extra monitor measures including laser alarm zones, motion sensors, electronic gates and much more.
What does anyone need to gain access to?
Is it a keypad system, a fob, or a key? It is these small but important things that every self storage unit renter should think about.
