Top six security questions to ensure your valuables are safe in self-storage
- Can I trust this self-storage company?
This depends of course on how well you know them and how you first heard about them. If they were recommended to you by a friend, that is probably one of the best introductions you will get. But not everyone is that lucky. More often we have to troll the search engines or local newspapers. However, defining points to look out for are:
- Does the company have any testimonials on their website?
- Do they appear to have a thriving Facebook page with positive comments?
- Have they been approved by companies such as “Checkatrade”? If they have been approved, as we have, the logo will be on their website.
- Do they offer guarantees to help you feel safe?
- What is the company’s attitude to privacy and security?
Privacy and confidentiality is just as important as security so you need to know from the outset just how the company intends to ensure your valuables are safe and your personal data cannot be accessed. Here at Need A Space, we take security and privacy very seriously. As well as a CCTV surveillance security system operating inside and out 24/7, we have installed high security infra-red beams as an extra layer of safety.
- Who has access to my storage units?
You should be the only one who has direct access to your storage units. This is for the utmost privacy and security. There will be only one key which you will hold yourself.
- Security is good but is my self-storage unit still accessible?
Security is great but you also need to know you can access your valuables at the most common times of the day. Here at Need A Space we are open from 8am until 6pm Monday to Friday and on Saturdays we are open from 8am to 1pm.
- Are my valuables safe from damage?
As well as burglar alarms and cutting-edge perimeter fencing to stop unwanted thieves getting in, we also have a fire security system to ensure the chances of your valuables being damaged by fire are at the very minimum.
- Do you provide secure mail boxes?
Yes. For those people who live in areas where the security of their post is not as safe as perhaps it should be you can rent one of our mail boxes here at Need A Space to put your mind at rest.
